 SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO. 
 PROFITSHARING PLAN 
 PREAMBLE 
 WHEREAS, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Texas (the “Company”) has previously adopted a plan and
trust designated as the Southwest Airlines Co. ProfitSharing Plan (the “Prior Plan”), effective January 1, 1973, which was subsequently amended and restated in its entirety, effective January 1, 1986, again amended and restated
in its entirety, effective January 1, 1991, again amended and restated in its entirety, effective January 1, 1996, and again amended and restated it its entirety, effective January 1, 2008; 
 WHEREAS, the Company now desires to continue the plan by again amending and restating the Prior Plan to implement certain provisions of, and for
compliance with, the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008; to revise the definition of operating profit to include gains and losses on the sale of aircraft and aircraft delivery positions, and to reflect certain other operational
and administrative practices; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to carry out the purposes and intent as set forth
above, the Prior Plan is hereby restated and amended in its entirety, superseded and replaced by this plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), effective January 1, 2009, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. There
will be no gap or lapse in time or effect between such plans, and the existence of a qualified plan and trust shall be continuous and uninterrupted. 
 The terms and conditions of this restated Plan are as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 PURPOSE 
 The purpose of this Plan is
to reward Employees of the Company for their loyal and faithful service, to provide the Employees with a retirement benefit, and to provide funds for their beneficiaries in the event of death or disability. The benefits provided by this Plan will be
paid from a Trust Fund established by the Company and will be in addition to the benefits Employees are entitled to receive under any other programs of the Company and under the Social Security Act. 
 This Plan and the separate related Trust forming a part hereof are established and shall be maintained for the exclusive benefit of the Members hereunder
and their Beneficiaries. No part of the Trust Fund can ever revert to the Company, except as hereinafter provided, or be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Members of this Plan and their Beneficiaries.

  

 1 








 ARTICLE II 
 DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION 
 2.1 Definitions. Where the following words and phrases appear
in this Plan, they shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless their context clearly indicates to the contrary: 
 (a) Affiliate. A member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code), a group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) which are under common control (as defined in
Section 414(c) of the Code), or an affiliated service group (as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, or any entity otherwise required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to Section 414(o) of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. 
 (b) Allocation Date. The date on which Company Contributions and
forfeitures are to be allocated, such date to be the last day of each Plan Year. 
 (c) Annual Compensation. The total amounts paid by the Company or any Eligible Affiliate to an Employee as remuneration for personal services rendered during each Plan Year, including expense allowances (to the
extent includible in the gross income of the Employee) and any amounts not includible in the gross income of the Employee pursuant to Sections 402(e)(3), 125(a), 414(u), or 132(f)(4) of the Code, but excluding (1) director’s fees;
(2) expense reimbursements and nontaxable expense allowances; (3) prizes and awards; (4) expatriate bonuses; (5) items of imputed income; (6) contributions made by the Company under this Plan or any other employee benefit
plan or program it maintains, such as group insurance, hospitalization or like benefits; (7) amounts realized or recognized from qualified or nonqualified stock options or when restricted stock or property held by the Employee either becomes
freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; (8) Company contributions to a plan of deferred compensation that are not included in the Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed,
or any distributions from a deferred compensation plan; (9) amounts, if any, paid to an Employee in lieu of a Company Contribution to this Plan in the event that such Company Contribution would constitute an annual addition, as defined in
Section 415(c)(2) of the Code, in excess of the limitations under Section 415(c) of the Code; and (10) severance payments. For purposes of this Section 2.1(c), severance payments include severance pay, unfunded nonqualified
deferred compensation benefits and parachute payments made after an Employee’s severance from employment, but shall not include amounts attributable to payments made within 2 1/2 months following severance from employment that, absent a severance from employment, would have been paid to the Employee for services rendered prior to the severance from employment and for
accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave (to the extent the Employee would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued). Annual Compensation shall include amounts otherwise includible, as provided above, which are paid by the
Company or an Eligible Affiliate to the Employee through another person, pursuant to the common paymaster provisions of Section 3121(s) and 3306(p) of the Code. 
  

 2 








 The Annual Compensation of each Member or former Member taken into account under the Plan
for any Plan Year shall not exceed $230,000, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for increases in the cost of living at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. If a Plan Year consists of fewer than
twelve (12) months, then the dollar limitation in the preceding sentence will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Furthermore, for purposes
of an allocation under the Plan based on Annual Compensation, Annual Compensation shall only include amounts attributable to the period an Employee is a Member of the Plan. 
 (d) Beneficiary. A person designated by a Member or former Member to receive benefits hereunder upon the death of such Member or
former Member. 
 (e) Break in Service. An Employee shall have a Break in Service for each Plan Year in which he
completes less than 501 Hours of Service with the Company or an Eligible Affiliate unless he is on a leave of absence authorized by the Company or an Eligible Affiliate in accordance with its leave policy. 
 (f) Code. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 (g) Committee. The persons who may be appointed to administer the Plan in accordance with Article XIII. 
 (h) Common Stock. The common stock of the Company. 
 (i) Company. Southwest Airlines Co., or its successor or successors. 
 (j) Company Contributions. Contributions that are made by the Company for each Plan Year pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.1 hereof. 
 (k) Deductible Contributions. A Member’s voluntary contributions, if any, to the Plan,
made prior to January 1, 1987 and deductible by such Member for federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 219 of the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect. 
 (l) Deductible Contribution Account. A separate subaccount to which is credited a Member’s Deductible Contributions, if any,
and any earnings attributable thereto, adjusted to reflect any withdrawals, distributions or investment losses attributable thereto. 
 (m) Disability. A physical or mental condition that, in the judgment of the Committee, totally and presumably permanently prevents the Employee from engaging in any substantial gainful employment with the Company or an Eligible
Affiliate. A determination of Disability shall be based upon competent medical evidence satisfactory to the Committee. The Committee shall apply the rules with respect to Disability uniformly and consistently to all Employees in similar
circumstances. 
  

 3 








 (n) Effective Date. January 1, 2009, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein. 
 (o) Employee. Any person who is receiving remuneration for personal services rendered to the
Company or any Eligible Affiliate, or who would be receiving such remuneration except for an authorized leave of absence; provided, however, that any individual whose conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement between
the Company and a labor union shall not be considered an Employee unless the collective bargaining agreement provides for coverage of such individual under the Plan. In no event shall any individual employed by any Affiliate or subsidiary of the
Company be considered an Employee unless such Affiliate or subsidiary has specifically been designated by the Company as an Eligible Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, individuals whose conditions of employment are governed by a collective
bargaining agreement that does not provide for coverage of such individual under the Plan shall nonetheless be deemed to be an Employee for purposes of crediting service pursuant to the provisions of subsections 2.1(t), (gg) and (kk) hereunder.

 The term “Employee” shall also include any “leased employee,” as such term is defined below, deemed to
be an employee of an Employer or any Affiliate as provided in Sections 414(n) or (o) of the Code. The term “leased employee” means any person (other than an employee of the recipient) who, pursuant to an agreement between the
recipient and any other person (“leasing organization”), has performed services for the recipient (or for the recipient and related persons determined in accordance with Section 414(n)(6) of the Code) on a substantially full-time
basis for a period of at least one year, and such services are performed under primary direction or control by the recipient. Contributions or benefits provided by the leasing organization that are attributable to services performed for the
recipient shall be treated as provided by the recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leased employee shall not be considered an employee of the recipient if: (i) such employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan that provides:
(1) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least ten percent (10%) of compensation, as defined in Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, but including amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement that are excludable
from the employee’s gross income under Section 125, Section 402(e)(3), Section 402(h)(1)(B), or Section 403(b) of the Code, immediate vesting; and (ii) leased employees do not constitute more than twenty percent
(20%) of the recipient’s nonhighly compensated work force. 
 The term “Employee” shall include an
individual receiving a differential wage payment under Section 414(u) of the Code. 
 (p) Employer Savings
Account. A separate subaccount to which is credited a Member’s Company Contributions and forfeitures, if any, and any earnings attributable thereto, adjusted to reflect any withdrawals, distributions or investment losses attributable
thereto. 
 (q) Entry Date. January 1st of each year. 
  

 4 








 (r) ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 (s) Fund or Trust Fund. All assets of whatsoever kind or nature held from time to time by the Trustee in the Trust
forming a part of this Plan, without distinction as to income and principal and without regard to source, e.g., allocations, Company contributions, earnings, forfeitures or gifts. 
 (t) Hour of Service. An Hour of Service shall include all hours for which pay is received or for which an Employee is entitled to
payment, whether worked or not, plus service credit on the basis of the number of his regularly scheduled working hours for any other period of absence for which the Employee is paid or entitled to payment and that is authorized by the Company in
accordance with its uniform leave policy for vacation, holiday, sick leave, illness, Disability, layoff, military service or civic duty. In no event shall credit for the number of Hours of Service attributable to a single continuous period for which
no duties are performed exceed 501. Service credit shall also be given for each other leave of absence authorized by the Company for which the Employee is paid or entitled to payment. 
 Hours of Service shall be computed on an equivalency basis, whereby for each month during which an Employee would be credited with at
least one Hour of Service (or, in the case of flight attendants or pilots, one trip), such Employee shall be credited with one hundred ninety (190) Hours of Service. 
 These hours must be credited to Employees in the computation period during which the duties were performed, or, if no duties were
performed, during which the applicable period of absence occurred, and not when paid, if different. Credit must also be given, without duplicating any hours described above, for each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages,
has been awarded or agreed to by the Company or any Eligible Affiliate. These hours must be credited in the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than that in which the payment, award or agreement was made.

 In determining the number of Hours of Service to be credited to an Employee in the case of a payment which is made or due
to an Employee under the provisions of the paragraphs above, the Committee shall apply the rules set forth in Department of Labor Regulations 2530.200b-2(b) and (c), which rules are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan by reference.

 For purposes of determining whether an Employee has incurred a Break in Service as defined in Section 2.1(e), the
Committee shall credit an Employee with Hours of Service during absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons which would otherwise have been credited to such Employee but for such absence. For purposes of this Plan, an Employee shall be
deemed to be on maternity or paternity leave if the Employee’s absence from work is (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee, (2) by reason of the birth of a child of the Employee, (3) by reason of the placement of a child
with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee, or (4)

  

 5 








 
for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. The Hours of Service credited under this
paragraph shall be limited to the lesser of (1) the number necessary to prevent the Employee from incurring a Break in Service or (2) 501 Hours of Service. Hours of Service credited under this paragraph shall be credited in the Plan Year
in which the absence begins, but if the Employee does not need those Hours of Service to prevent a Break in Service in the Plan Year in which the absence began, then they shall be credited in the immediately following Plan Year. 
 (u) Individual Account. The account or record maintained by the Committee showing the monetary value of the individual interest in
the Trust Fund of each Member, former Member and Beneficiary. 
 (v) Investment Managers. The qualified and acting
Investment Managers, as defined in ERISA, who under this Plan may be appointed by the Company to invest and manage Plan assets as fiduciaries. 
 (w) Member. An Employee who has met the eligibility requirements for participation in this Plan, as set forth in Article III hereof. 
 (x) Named Fiduciary. The Committee shall be the Named Fiduciary designated to manage the operation and administration of the Plan.

 (y) Nondeductible Contributions. A Member’s voluntary contributions, if any, to the Plan, made prior to
January 1, 1987, which are not deductible by such Member for federal income tax purposes. 
 (z) Nondeductible
Contribution Account. A separate subaccount to which is credited a Member’s Nondeductible Contributions, if any, and any earnings attributable thereto, adjusted to reflect any withdrawals, distributions or investment losses attributable
thereto. 
 (aa) Normal Retirement Date. The date on which a
Member attains the age of fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2) years. 
 (bb) Plan. Southwest Airlines Co. ProfitSharing Plan, as amended from time to time. 
 (cc) Plan Administrator. Such person or persons as designated by the Committee, which shall be the Committee unless and until it
designates such other person or persons. 
 (dd) Plan Year. The annual period beginning January 1st and ending
December 31st, both dates inclusive of each year. 
 (ee) Prior Plan. The Southwest Airlines Co. ProfitSharing
Plan, effective January 1, 1973, as heretofore amended and restated from time to time. 
  

 6 








 (ff) Retirement. Separation from service after a Member has reached his Normal
Retirement Date. Retirement shall be considered as commencing on the day immediately following a Member’s last day of service. 
 (gg) Service. A period or periods of employment by an Employee used in determining eligibility for Plan participation or in determining the amount of benefits. If the Company is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as
defined in Section 414(b) of the Code), is one of a group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) which are under common control (as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code), is a member of an affiliated service group (as
defined in Section 414(m) of the Code) or is otherwise required to be aggregated with any entity pursuant to Section 414(o) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, then Service shall include any employment with any such
Affiliate from and after the date such entity becomes an Affiliate, including Service prior to the Effective Date. 
 (hh)
Trust. Southwest Airlines Co. ProfitSharing Trust, as amended from time to time, the Trust established to hold and invest contributions made under the Plan and Prior Plan for the exclusive benefit of the Members included in the Plan from
which the benefits will be distributed. 
 (ii) Trustee. The qualified and acting Trustee under the Trust, who shall be
the fiduciary designated to invest and manage the Plan assets, other than those which may be managed exclusively by an Investment Manager, and to operate and administer the Trust Fund. 
 (jj) Valuation Date. Each business day on which the financial markets are open for trading activity. 
 (kk) Vesting Service. Vesting Service is the period of employment used in determining eligibility for benefits. A year of Vesting
Service shall be granted for each Plan Year in which an Employee has completed 1,000 or more Hours of Service with the Company or an Affiliate, subject to the following exceptions: 
 (i) Vesting Service prior to January 1, 1973 shall be excluded. 
 (ii) Vesting Service completed after December 31, 1972 and prior to January 1, 1976 shall be excluded if such service would have
been disregarded under the break in service rules of the Prior Plan, as then in effect. For this purpose, break in service rules are those rules which result in the loss of prior vesting because of service termination or failure to complete a
required period of service within a specified time. 
 (iii) In the case of an Employee who has a Break in Service, his years
of Vesting Service before such Break in Service shall not be taken into account until he has completed a year of Vesting Service following his reemployment. Prior to January 1, 1985, in the case of an Employee who has any Break in Service, all
years of Vesting Service incurred after such Break shall be disregarded for purposes of measuring years of Vesting Service before such 

  

 7 








 
Break. However, effective January 1, 1985, and thereafter, in the case of an Employee who has five (5) or more consecutive Breaks in Service, all
years of Vesting Service incurred after such Breaks in Service will be disregarded for purposes of measuring years of Vesting Service before such Breaks in Service. 
 (ll) Eligible Affiliate. An Affiliate, the employees of which the Company has specifically designated as being eligible to
participate in the Plan. 
 2.2 Construction. The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan, shall be deemed to include the
feminine gender, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall mean and refer to the entire Plan, not to
any particular provision or section. The Plan and Trust shall each form a part of the other by reference and terms shall be used therein interchangeably. 
 ARTICLE III 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 3.1 Eligibility Requirements. Every Employee who was a Member in the Prior Plan on the day before the Effective Date shall continue to be a Member
in the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, every other Employee shall become a Member in the Plan as of the first Entry Date concurrent with or next following his employment commencement date or the date on which his employer became an
Eligible Affiliate, whichever is later. The employment commencement date is the first day for which an Employee is entitled to be credited hereunder with an Hour of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, non-resident aliens who receive no earned
income from the Company that constitutes income from sources within the United States shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. Furthermore, “leased employees” (as such term is defined in Section 2.1(o) hereof) and Employees
classified by the Company as interns shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. A person who is not treated as an Employee on the Company’s books and records (such as a person who as a matter of practice is treated by the Company as an
independent contractor, but who is later determined to be an Employee as a matter of fact) shall not be an eligible Employee during any part of a Plan Year in which such person was not treated as an Employee, despite any retroactive
recharacterization. 
 3.2 Notification of Eligibility. The Committee shall notify in writing each Employee of the qualifications for
eligibility and shall furnish each Employee a copy of such explanation of the Plan as the Committee shall provide for that purpose. 
 3.3
Reentry of Prior Members. An Employee who terminates employment after becoming a Member hereunder shall be eligible to participate immediately upon his completion of one Hour of Service following his reemployment by the Company or an Eligible
Affiliate. An Employee who terminates employment after satisfying the requirements of Section 3.1 hereof, but prior to the first Entry Date following the satisfaction of such requirements, shall be eligible to participate immediately upon his
completion of one Hour of Service following his reemployment by the Company or an Eligible Affiliate, or, if later, the first Entry Date following the satisfaction of such requirements.

 ARTICLE IV 
 CONTRIBUTIONS 
 4.1 Company Contributions. The Company may, for each of its taxable years,
contribute to the Trust Fund such profit sharing contribution, if any, as the Company shall determine by resolution of its board of directors. The amount of the profit sharing contribution, if any, shall be determined in the sole and absolute
discretion of the board of directors of the Company; provided, however, that in the absence of any action of the board of directors to the contrary, the amount of the profit sharing contribution shall be an amount equal to 15% of ANP, reduced by the
contribution made to the Southwest Airlines Co. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Pilots for such Plan Year pursuant to section 3.2 of such plan. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, “ANP” is the operating profit of the Company for such Plan Year. As used herein, the term “operating profit” of the Company for any Plan Year shall mean its income for such Plan Year before
income taxes, derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and as set forth in the Company’s audited statement of income included in the annual report to shareholders, before provision for any contribution to this Plan,
excluding (1) nonoperating or non-recurring gains or losses not arising from the Company’s usual business operations, including those gains or losses recognized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 that are
factored into the Company’s presentation of “economic” results and gains or losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets, as set forth in the Company’s audited statement of income or disclosed in the notes thereto, and
(2) profits or losses incurred by TranStar or any separately definable division of the Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, profits and losses incurred by Morris Air Corporation shall be taken into account for Plan
Years beginning after December 31, 1993; provided further, that effective January 1, 2008, notwithstanding the foregoing, gains and losses from the sale of aircraft and aircraft delivery positions shall be included in operating profit of
the Company. 
 The contribution shall be made either (1) in cash, (2) in Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the
amount of the contribution, or (3) in cash and Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the amount of the contribution. The fair market value of any Common Stock contributed shall be based on the mean of the reported high and
low sales prices of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the day of the contribution to the Plan; except however, if the Company acquires Common Stock on the open market and contributes it to the Plan immediately following
the settlement date, then the fair market value of the contribution shall be equal to the cost paid by the Company for the Common Stock, including commissions and other expenses which the Trustee would incur in the acquisition of Common Stock if the
Trustee acquired the Common Stock directly. Any portion of the contribution made in Common Stock may be made in the form of authorized but unissued shares or shares previously issued and reacquired by the Company. 
 Company Contributions shall be added to and become a part of the Trust Fund, and, as of each Allocation Date, shall be credited to the Individual
Accounts of the Members, as provided in Section 6.1 hereof.

 ARTICLE V 
 ADJUSTMENT OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS 
 5.1 Individual Accounts. The Committee shall establish an
Individual Account for each Member showing the monetary value of the individual interest in the Trust Fund of each Employee, former Employee and Beneficiary. The Individual Account of each Member shall be composed of an Employer Savings Account, to
which Company Contributions and forfeitures, if any, shall be credited. In addition, if a Member was at any time prior to the Effective Date a member of the Prior Plan who, prior to January 1, 1987, made voluntary Deductible Contributions or
Nondeductible Contributions, his Individual Account shall include a Deductible Contribution Account and/or Nondeductible Contribution Account, as applicable. Such accounts are primarily for accounting purposes and do not require a segregation of the
Trust Fund, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 5.2 Method of Adjustment. As of each Valuation Date, before any restoration of
accounts as required pursuant to Section 15.3 hereof and before taking into account the contributions of the Company and forfeitures for the period since the last preceding Valuation Date, the Committee or the Trustee, as directed by the
Committee, shall value the assets of each investment fund and adjust the Individual Accounts of all Members who have elected to participate in such investment fund as follows. 
 (a) The Committee shall determine the market value of the investment fund, including the effect of expenses of administration and other
charges against such investment fund since the last Valuation Date. 
 (b) The Committee shall determine the total aggregate
value of all Individual Accounts participating in the investment fund as shown in its records as of the prior Valuation Date. The Individual Account balances of Employees, former Employees and Beneficiaries shall be reduced by any amounts paid to
them from the investment fund since the last Valuation Date. 
 (c) The Committee shall then adjust the value of each
Individual Account participating in the investment fund by crediting each Individual Account with its proportion of the difference between (a) and (b) if (a) is the larger or charging it with its proportion of the difference between
(a) and (b) if (b) is larger; the proportion to be so credited or charged to each Individual Account shall be calculated by multiplying the difference between (a) and (b) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then
value of said Individual Account and the denominator of which is the then aggregate value of all Individual Accounts participating in such investment fund. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 ALLOCATIONS 
 6.1 Company Contribution. As of each Allocation Date, but after any adjustment of Individual Accounts, as provided in Section 5.2, and other
applicable provisions herein, the Committee shall credit the Company Contribution, as described in Section 4.1 hereof, for the Plan Year ending with said Allocation Date to the Individual Accounts of all Members and 

  

 10 








 
former Members, except those Members and former Members who failed to complete at least 1,000 Hours of Service during such Plan Year. The amount of the
annual Company Contribution allocated to the Individual Account of each eligible Member or former Member shall be in the proportion that his Annual Compensation during the applicable Plan Year bears to the total Annual Compensation of all eligible
Members and former Members during the applicable Plan Year. 
 6.2 Allocation of Forfeitures. If a Member or former Member forfeits a
portion of his Individual Account as provided in Section 10.3 hereof, then said forfeited amount shall be used first to restore the Individual Accounts of rehired Members, as required under Section 15.3 hereof, and next to reduce Company
Contributions made in accordance with Section 18.11 hereof for Plan Years prior to the Plan Year in which a Member returns from qualified military service, as well as any such Company Contributions outstanding as of the effective date hereof.
Any remaining forfeitures shall be allocated as soon as practicable following the Plan Year in which said forfeiture occurs among the Individual Accounts of the Members and former Members who are eligible to have a Company contribution credited on
their behalf for such Plan Year, as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. The amount of the forfeiture allocated under this Section 6.2 to the Individual Account of such Member or former Member shall be in the proportion that his Annual
Compensation for such Plan Year bears to the total Annual Compensation for such Plan Year of all such Members and former Members. 
 If a
Member or former Member who does not have any nonforfeitable right to his Individual Account terminates his employment and thereby forfeits his Individual Account, then in the event such Member or former Member is reemployed before he has incurred
five (5) or more consecutive Breaks in Service, his Individual Account that was forfeited shall be restored by the Company at the time of his reemployment. 
 6.3 Notification to Members. At least annually, the Committee shall advise each Member, former Member and Beneficiary for whom an Individual Account is held hereunder of the then balance in such account.

 6.4 Maximum Annual Addition to Account or Benefit. 
 (a) Limitations. If the Employer maintains this Plan and one or more other qualified defined contribution plans, the Annual
Additions (as defined in subsection (b) below) allocated under this Plan to any Member’s Individual Account shall be limited in accordance with the allocation provisions of this subsection 6.4(a). 
 The amount of the Annual Additions that may be allocated under this Plan to the Individual Account of any Member as of any Allocation
Date, together with Annual Additions allocated on behalf of any such Member under any other defined contribution plan of the Employer for the Limitation Year (as defined in subsection (b) below) in which such Allocation Date occurs, shall not
exceed the Maximum Permissible DC Amount (as defined in subsection (b) below), based upon Annual Compensation up to such Allocation Date for such Limitation Year. 
  


 11 








 If the Annual Additions allocated on behalf of a Member or former Member under this Plan
and any other defined contribution plan of the Employer are to be reduced as of any Allocation Date as a result of exceeding the limitations described in the next preceding two paragraphs, such reduction shall be, to the extent required, effected by
first reducing the Annual Additions to be allocated on behalf of such Member or former Member under this Plan as of such Allocation Date. 
 If as a result of the first three paragraphs of this subsection 6.4(a) the allocation of Annual Additions under this Plan is to be reduced, such reduction shall be allocated to a suspense account as of such Allocation
Date and held therein until the next succeeding Allocation Date on which Company Contributions and forfeitures could be allocated under the provisions of the Plan, at which time such reduction shall be allocated and reallocated to the Individual
Accounts of Members hereunder (in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof and subject to the limitations of this Section 6.4) before any Company Contributions may be made to the Plan for the limitation year ending on such
Allocation Date. In the event of termination of the Plan, the suspense account shall revert to the Company to the extent it may not be allocated to any Individual Account. If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a Limitation Year
pursuant to this Section, it will not participate in the allocation of the Trust Fund’s investment gains and losses. 
 (b) Definitions Applicable to Section 6.4. For purposes of Section 6.4, the following definitions shall apply: 
 (i) Annual Additions. Annual Additions are the sum of the following amounts allocated on behalf of a Member or former Member for a Limitation Year: 
 (1) all Employer contributions; 
 (2) forfeitures, if any; 
 (3) all Employee contributions; and 
 (4) amounts allocated after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical benefit account, as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2) that
is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer, and amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, that are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits
allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section 419(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit plan (as defined in Code Section 419(e) maintained by the Employer. 
 The Annual Additions for any Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee
Contributions as Annual Additions. 
  

 12 








 (ii) Employer. Employer shall mean, in addition to the Company (as defined in
Section 2.1(i) hereof, all members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code as modified by Section 415(h)), all commonly controlled trades or businesses (as defined in Section 414(c) as modified
by Section 415(h)) or affiliated service groups (as defined in Section 414(m)) of which the Company is a part, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to regulations under Section 414(o) of the Code.

 (iii) Limitation Year. The Limitation Year shall be the twelve (12) consecutive month period ending on the last
day of December or any other twelve (12) consecutive month period for all qualified plans of the Company pursuant to a written resolution the Company adopts. 
 (iv) Maximum Permissible DC Amount. The Maximum Permissible DC Amount for a given Limitation Year is equal to the lesser of
(i) 100% of compensation or (ii) $46,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Code. For purposes of this subparagraph (iv), compensation shall mean compensation as defined in
Section 3401(a) of the Code and all other payments of compensation to an Employee by the Company (in the course of the Company’s trade or business) for which the Company is required to furnish the Employee a written statement under
Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052 of the Code without regard to any rules under Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed, together with any
amounts not includable in the gross income of an Employee pursuant to Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 403(b), 457, or 402(h)(1)(B) of the Code applicable to such Limitation Year. If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment
changing the Limitation Year to a different twelve (12) consecutive month period, the dollar limitation referred to above is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months in the short Limitation Year and the
denominator of which is twelve. The compensation limit referred to in this subparagraph (iv) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of section 401(h) or section 419A(f)(2) of
the Code) that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition hereunder. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 RETIREMENT 
 7.1 Normal or Late
Retirement. A Member, upon reaching his Normal Retirement Date for the purposes of this Plan, shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in his Individual Account, and such amount contained therein shall be nonforfeitable. If a Member
continues in the service of the Company beyond his Normal Retirement Date, he shall continue to participate in the Plan. 
  

 13 








 7.2 Benefit. Upon Retirement (whether normal or late Retirement in accordance with
Section 7.1), a Member shall be entitled to the entire amount to the credit of his Individual Account as of the Valuation Date concurrent with or next following his date of Retirement, including his portion, if any, of Company Contributions and
forfeitures allocated after his date of Retirement, adjusted for earnings and losses, if any, that accrue to the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of distribution, if later. Upon his Retirement under this Article VII, a Member shall
receive the benefits to which he is entitled at the time and in the manner provided in Article XV hereof. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

DEATH 
 8.1 Death of Member.
Upon the death of a Member while employed by the Company, such Member’s Individual Account shall thereupon become one hundred percent (100%) vested, and the amount contained therein shall be nonforfeitable. Effective January 1, 2007,
upon the death of a Member who dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Section 414(u) of the Code), the survivors of the Member are entitled to any additional benefits provided under the Plan had the participant resumed
and then terminated employment on account of death. 
 8.2 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Member and former Member may, from time to
time, designate one or more Beneficiaries and alternate Beneficiaries to receive benefits pursuant to this Article in the event of the death of such Member or former Member. Such designation shall be made in writing upon a form provided by the
Committee and shall only be effective when filed with the Committee. The last such designation filed with the Committee shall control. 
 If
a Member is married, his spouse shall automatically be designated his Beneficiary; provided, however, a Beneficiary other than his spouse may be designated if (1) his spouse consents in writing to such designation, the consent acknowledges the
effect of such designation and the designation is witnessed by a member of the Committee or a notary public, or (2) it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that there is sufficient reason why the consent may not be obtained.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, divorce after the filing of a designation or designations that name the spouse as beneficiary shall be deemed to revoke such designation or designations if written notice of such divorce is received by the Committee
before payment has been made in accordance with the existing designation or designations on file with the Committee. 
 8.3 Benefit.
Subject to the requirements of Section 18.10 hereof, upon the death of a Member or former Member, his designated Beneficiary shall be entitled to the entire amount to the credit of his Individual Account as of the Valuation Date concurrent with
or next following his date of death, including his portion, if any, of Company Contributions and forfeitures allocated after the date of his death, adjusted for earnings and losses, if any, that accrue to the Valuation Date immediately preceding the
date of distribution, if later. Payment shall be made at the time and in the manner provided in Article XV hereof. 
 8.4 No
Beneficiary. If a Member or former Member dies without a designated Beneficiary surviving him, or if all his Beneficiaries die before receiving the payment to which they are entitled, then any amounts to which such Member, former Member or
Beneficiary is entitled hereunder shall be paid to his estate. 
  

 14 








 For the purpose of this Plan, the production of a certified copy of the death certificate of any Employee
or other person shall be sufficient evidence of death, and the Committee shall be fully protected in relying thereon. In the absence of such proof, the Committee may rely upon such other evidence of death as it deems necessary or advisable.

 ARTICLE IX 
 DISABILITY 
 9.1 Disability. If a Member’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of his Disability,
such Participant’s Individual Account shall thereupon become one hundred percent (100%) vested, and the amount contained therein shall be nonforfeitable. Effective January 1, 2007, this paragraph shall apply to a Disability incurred
while performing qualified military service (as defined in Section 414(u) of the Code). 
 9.2 Benefit. In the event of the
Disability of a Member or former Member, he shall be entitled to the entire amount to the credit of his Individual Account as of the Valuation Date concurrent with or next following the date on which his termination of employment occurs as a result
of his Disability, including his portion, if any, of Company Contributions and forfeitures allocated after the date of his termination of employment, adjusted for earnings and losses, if any, that accrue to the Valuation Date immediately preceding
the date of distribution, if later. Payments shall be made at the time and in the manner provided in Article XV hereof. 
 ARTICLE X 

 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND FORFEITURES 
 10.1 Eligibility and Benefits. If a Member’s employment with the Company and all Eligible Affiliates shall terminate for any reason other than his Retirement Under Article VII, death under Article VIII, or
Disability under Article IX, such Member shall be entitled to all of his Nondeductible Contribution Account and Deductible Contribution Account and to a percentage of the amount in his Employer Savings Account as of the Valuation Date concurrent
with or next following the date on which his termination of employment occurs, including his portion, if any, of Company Contributions and forfeitures allocated after the date of his termination of employment, adjusted for earnings and losses, if
any, that accrue to the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of distribution, if later. The percentage of a Member’s Employer Savings Account to which he is entitled shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule:

  

				
	 Completed Years of Vesting Service
	  	Percentage
Payable	 
	 Less than 5 years
	  	0	%
	 5 years or more
	  	100	%

  

 15 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective with respect to contributions allocated for Plan Years beginning
on and after January 1, 2007, the percentage of a Member’s Employer Savings Account to which he is entitled shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

				
	 Completed Years of Vesting Service
	  	Percentage
Payable	 
	 Less than 1 year
	  	0	%
	 1 year but less than 2 years
	  	20	%
	 2 years but less than 3 years
	  	40	%
	 3 years but less than 4 years
	  	60	%
	 4 years but less than 5 years
	  	80	%
	 5 years or more
	  	100	%

 The provisions of this Section shall be subject to the provisions of Section 17.3 hereof,
which shall be given full effect. 
 10.2 Time of Payment. The amount to which a Member shall be entitled under Section 10.1
shall be paid to him at the time and in the manner provided in Article XV hereof. 
 10.3 Forfeitures. A Member to whom
Section 10.1 is applicable shall forfeit that portion of the amount in his Individual Account to which he is not entitled under Section 10.1 and the amount thus forfeited shall remain in the Trust Fund and shall be allocated pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.2. A Member who does not have any nonforfeitable right to his Individual Account shall be deemed to have received a cashout distribution pursuant to Section 15.3 hereof, and shall forfeit the amount in such
Individual Account in the Plan Year in which his termination of employment occurs. 
 10.4 Forfeiture for Cause. In the event a Member
who has not completed at least three (3) years of Vesting Service is discharged due to his dishonest or criminal act (proven by conclusive evidence to the unanimous satisfaction of the Committee) or due to embezzlement, fraud, or dishonesty
against and damaging to the Company whereby the reasons for such discharge are confirmed by resolution of the board of directors or other governing authority of the Company, the entire amount credited to the benefit of such Member in his Employer
Savings Account shall be forfeited and neither he nor his Beneficiary shall be entitled to any benefit hereunder with respect to such amounts. Likewise, any amounts credited to, but not distributed from, the Employer Savings Account of a former
Member who has not completed at least three (3) years of Vesting Service shall be forfeited upon the discovery of any embezzlement, fraud or dishonesty of such former Member against and damaging to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the Plan is top heavy for any Plan Year pursuant to Section 19.2 hereof, the provisions of Section 10.1 shall supersede this Section 10.4 and shall be controlling for all purposes hereunder. 
  

 16 








 ARTICLE XI 
 WITHDRAWALS 
 11.1 Withdrawals. 
 (a) Nondeductible and Deductible Contribution Accounts. Effective as of any Valuation Date, a Member may, upon prior written notice
to the Committee within the time period established by the Committee for such elections, elect to withdraw from his Nondeductible and Deductible Contribution Accounts any or all of the balance thereof, as of such Valuation Date. If a Member timely
elects such a withdrawal, distribution shall be made as soon as practicable following such Valuation Date. 
 (b) Employer
Savings Account. Subject to the requirements of Section 18.10 hereof, a Member who has reached his Normal Retirement Date may elect in writing, within the time period established by the Committee for such elections, to withdraw all or any

on which the Committee receives the Member’s withdrawal election, and the withdrawal amount shall be distributed to the Member as soon as practicable thereafter. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 INVESTMENT OF THE TRUST FUND 
 12.1 Member Direction of Investment. 
 (a) Investment of Contributions. Each Member shall have the right, within the guidelines established by the Committee, to direct the Committee to instruct the Trustee to invest any whole percentage, up to one
hundred percent (100%), of such Member’s current Company Contributions and forfeitures in one or more of such investment media as the Committee may designate from time to time. The Committee shall direct the Trustee or, if applicable, an
Investment Manager as to the investments in which Members may invest. The Committee may determine to offer as investment media any investment fund, program or other vehicle that is suitable as a proper and permissible investment of contributions
made to a retirement plan qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code; provided, however, effective January 1, 2008, that the Southwest Airlines Co. Stock Fund shall be included as an investment option. The investment directions of
the Members shall be implemented by the Trustee or, if applicable, an Investment Manager provided, however, that the Trustee or, if applicable, an Investment Manager shall not be obligated to follow the investment direction of a Member if such
direction would result in a prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, would generate income that would be taxable to the Plan, or: 
 (i) would not be in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan insofar as such documents and instruments are
consistent with the provisions of Title I of ERISA; 
 (ii) would cause a fiduciary to maintain the indicia of ownership of
any assets of the Plan outside the jurisdiction of the district courts of the United States other than as permitted by Section 404(b) of ERISA and Department of Labor Regulations §2550.404b-1; 
  

 17 








 (iii) would jeopardize the Plan’s tax qualified status under the Code; 

(iv) could result in a loss in excess of a Member’s or Beneficiary’s account balance; or 
 (v) would result in a direct or indirect: 
 (1) sale, exchange, or lease of property between the Company (or any affiliate of the Company) and the Plan except for the acquisition or disposition of any interest in a fund, subfund or portfolio managed by the
Company (or an affiliate of the Company), or the purchase or sale of any qualifying employer security (as defined in Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA) which meets the conditions of Section 408(e) of ERISA and subparagraph (4) below;

 (2) loan to the Company or any affiliate of the Company; 
 (3) acquisition or sale of any employer real property (as defined in Section 407(d)(2) of ERISA); or 
 (4) acquisition or sale of any employer security except to the extent that any such employer security and any such acquisition or sale
complies with the requirements of Department of Labor Regulations §2550.404c-1(d)(2)(4). 
 (b) Modification of
Investment Media. The Committee shall be authorized at any time and from time to time to modify, alter, delete or add to the funds available for investment at the direction of a Member. In the event a modification occurs, the Committee shall
notify those Members whom the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines are affected by the change, and shall give such persons such additional time as is determined by the Committee to designate the manner and percentage in which
amounts invested in those funds thereby affected shall be invested. 
 The Committee shall not be obligated to substitute
funds of similar investment criteria for existing funds, nor shall it be obligated to continue the types of investments presently available to the Members. Nothing contained herein shall constitute any action by the Committee as a direction of
investment of the assets or an attempt to control such direction. 
 (c) Investment Direction. Any Member, on or before
his entry into the Plan, within the time period established by the Committee, may designate the manner and the percentage in which the Member desires the Trustee or, if applicable, an Investment Manager to invest his current Company Contributions
and forfeitures, pursuant to the provisions set forth above, which designation shall continue in effect until revoked or modified by the Member. If a Member fails to designate the investment of his current Company Contributions and forfeitures on or
before his entry into the Plan, or if a Member wishes to change such designation, the Member may make such designation or change, within the time period established by the Committee, to become effective for all 

  

 18 








 
such future contributions and forfeitures as soon as practicable following the date of receipt by the Committee of such designation or change, and such
designation or change shall continue in effect until revoked by the Member in accordance with this Plan. 
 Any amounts with
respect to which the Trustee or, if applicable, an Investment Manager fails to receive a proper investment direction from any Member shall be invested, as directed by the Committee, in a qualified default investment alternative, as defined in
Department of Labor Regulations §2550.404c-5 and such other subsequent guidance as may be promulgated by the Department of Labor, and with respect to which the other conditions set forth in Department of Labor Regulations §2550.404c-5 are
met, including, but not limited to, the delivery to the Member of any material provided to the Plan that relates to the Member’s investment therein. All investment designations shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Committee.

 The Committee shall maintain separate subaccounts in the name of each Member within his Individual Account to reflect such
Member’s accrued benefit attributable to his directed investment in the above investment media. 
 12.2 Conversion of
Investments. 
 (a) Member’s Individual Account. Effective as of any Valuation Date, within the time period
prior thereto established by the Committee, and subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed under particular investment funds, a Member may, pursuant to guidelines established by the Committee, direct the Committee to instruct the Trustee to
convert any whole percentage, up to one hundred percent (100%), of the amount in such Member’s Individual Account that is invested in any of the investment media offered for investment under the Plan into one or more other of such investment
media. Such direction shall be effective as soon as practicable following the date of receipt by the Committee of such direction to convert. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, applicable fund redemption and short-term trading fees
may be imposed upon the Member’s Individual Account in connection with any direction by such Member to convert investments hereunder. 
 (b) Conversion Directions. A direction to convert by any eligible Member shall be irrevocable and shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Committee within the time period established by the Committee. Any
conversion of investments pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not affect a Member’s direction of investments with respect to his future contributions and forfeitures pursuant to Section 12.1. 
 (c) Direction of Spouse. If a Member’s spouse who is not a Member in this Plan acquires an interest in a Member’s
Individual Account pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, then the Member’s spouse may direct the Committee to convert the investment of the interest to which such spouse is thus entitled in the same manner and at the same time as
the Member may direct a conversion of investments, as provided above. If such spouse becomes a Member of the Plan, the spouse shall be entitled to convert such investments in accordance with the rights of Members in the Plan. 
  

 19 








 (d) Miscellaneous. The Committee is authorized to establish such other rules and
regulations, including adding additional times to convert investments, as it determines are necessary to carry out the provisions of Section 12.1 and this Section 12.2, the specific dates of conversion to be determined by the Committee,
and all earnings on the Member’s investments after such dates shall be allocated in accordance with the Member’s Employer Savings Account, as adjusted on such dates. The Committee shall be authorized to modify the allocations of earnings,
provided such change is made on a reasonable and nondiscriminatory basis.

 (f) to maintain all records necessary for verification of information required to be filed with the Secretary of Labor; 
 (g) to allocate the assets of the Plan available to provide benefits to Members in the event the Plan should terminate; and 
 (h) to report to the Trustee all available information regarding the amount of benefits payable to each Member, the computations with
respect to the allocation of assets, and any other information that the Trustee may require in order to terminate the Plan. 
  

 21 








 13.4 Rules and Decisions. The Committee may adopt such rules as it deems necessary or desirable.
All rules and decisions of the Committee shall be uniformly and consistently applied to all Employees in similar circumstances. The Committee is required to provide a notice in writing to any person whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been
denied, setting forth the specific reasons for such denial. The Committee shall adopt rules or procedures to carry out the intent of this Section and to provide a basis for a full and fair review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim
and provide such person with an opportunity to supply any evidence he has to sustain the claim. 
 13.5 Committee Procedures. The
Committee may adopt such bylaws as it deems desirable. The Committee shall elect one of its members as chairman. The Committee shall advise the Trustee of such election in writing. The Committee shall keep a record of all meetings and forward all
necessary communications to the Trustee. 
 13.6 Authorization of Benefit Payments. The Committee shall issue directions to the
Trustee concerning all benefits that are to be paid from the Trust Fund pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Committee shall keep on file, in such manner as it may deem convenient or proper, all reports from the Trustee. 
 13.7 Payment of Expenses. All expenses incident to the administration of the Plan and Trust, including but not limited to, actuarial, legal,
accounting, investment advisory, investment education, recordkeeping, Trustee’s fees, and any other plan administrative expenses, shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund and, until paid, shall constitute a first and prior claim and
lien against the Trust Fund. To the extent such expenses are not paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund, they shall be paid by the Company. 
 13.8 Indemnification of Members of the Committee. The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted under the Company’s bylaws, indemnify the members of the Committee against liability or loss sustained by them by an act or
failure to act in their capacity as members of the Committee. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 NOTICES 
 14.1 Notice to Trustee. As soon as practicable after a Member
ceases to be in the employ of the Company for any of the reasons set forth in Articles VII through X, inclusive, the Committee shall give notice to the Trustee, which notice shall include such of the following information and directions as are
necessary or advisable under the circumstances: 
 (a) name and address of the Member; 
 (b) name and address of the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in case of a Member’s death; 
  

 22 








 (c) amount to which the Member is entitled in case of termination of employment pursuant
to Article X; and 
 (d) manner and amount of payments to be made pursuant to Article XV. 
 If a former Member dies, the Committee shall give a like notice to the Trustee, but only if the Committee learns of his death. 
 14.2 Subsequent Notices. At any time and from time to time after giving the notice as provided for in Section 14.1, the Committee may modify
such original notice or any subsequent notice by means of a further notice or notices to the Trustee; but, any action theretofore taken or payments theretofore made by the Trustee pursuant to a prior notice shall not be affected by a subsequent
notice. 
 14.3 Reliance upon Notice. Upon receipt of any notice as provided in this Article, the Trustee shall promptly take whatever
action and make whatever payments are called for therein, it being intended that the Trustee may rely upon the information and directions in such notice absolutely and without question. However, the Trustee may call to the attention of the Committee
any error or oversight that the Trustee believes to exist in any notice. 
 ARTICLE XV 
 BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 15.1 Method of
Payment. As soon as practicable after a Member, former Member, or Beneficiary becomes entitled to receive benefits hereunder, as provided in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X and this Article XV, the Committee shall give written notice to the Trustee.
Such benefits shall be paid to the Member, former Member, or his Beneficiary in a lump sum. Any benefit payable hereunder will be paid in cash or in whole shares of Common Stock, as elected by the Member, former Member or Beneficiary; provided,
however, that such benefit shall in any event be paid in whole shares of Common Stock to the extent that such Member’s, former Member’s or Beneficiary’s Individual Account is invested in Common Stock, pursuant to Article XII hereof.
Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be converted to, and paid, in cash. 
 15.2 Time of Payment. Distribution shall be made as
soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than one (1) year after the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following the separation from service of a Member, former Member, or Beneficiary who is entitled to receive a
benefit hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nonforfeitable portion of a Member’s or former Member’s Individual Account exceeds One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00), no distributions, other than distributions upon the
death of such Member or former Member, may commence without the consent of the Member or former Member until he attains age sixty-two (62), at which time distribution shall be made. Such consent must be obtained within the one hundred eighty
(180) day period ending on the date of distribution. The Committee shall notify the Member or former Member of the right to defer any distribution until the date on which he attains age sixty-two (62). Such notification shall include a general
description of the material features, and an explanation of the relative values of, the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Section 417(a)(3) of the Code, and shall be
provided no less than thirty 

  

 23 








 
(30) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the annuity starting date. The annuity starting date is the first day of the first
period for which a benefit is paid hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Member or former Member shall not be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Section 415 of the Code. In addition, upon
termination of this Plan, if the Plan does not then offer an annuity option, the Member’s or former Member’s Individual Account may, without his consent, be distributed to the Member or former Member or transferred to another defined
contribution plan maintained by an Affiliate. 
 Distribution shall be made no later
than the required beginning date, which is April 1st of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the calendar year in which a Member attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the Member retires; provided that if a Member is a Five Percent (5%) Owner (as defined in Section 19.1(f) hereof), then the required beginning
date is April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Member attains age 70 1/2. Subject to the
provisions of Section 18.10 hereof, distribution of the entire Individual Account of a Member shall be made in a single lump sum on or before such Member’s required beginning date; provided, however, that in the case of a Member who
attained age 70 1/2 prior to September 15, 2000, or in the case of a Member who is a Five Percent Owner, only the minimum
distribution required for the calendar year immediately preceding the Member’s required beginning date must be made on or before his required beginning date. Furthermore, a minimum distribution for other calendar years, including the minimum
distribution for the calendar year in which such Member’s required beginning date occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of such calendar year. All minimum distributions required under this Article XV shall be determined and made in
accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, and the requirements of this Article will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. Required minimum distributions will be determined
beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Member’s date of death. During such Member’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
distribution calendar year is the lesser of: 
 (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s
Individual Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Member’s age as of the Member’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

 (b) if the Member’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Member’s spouse, the
quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Individual Account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Member’s and spouse’s attained ages as
of the Member’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Member who attains age 70 1/2 in a calendar year after 1995
and prior to September 15, 2000, may irrevocably elect, in the manner established by the Committee, by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997 in the case of a Member who attains age 70 1/2 in 1996) to defer distributions until April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member retires. If no such election is made, the Member will begin 
  

 24 








 
receiving distributions by the April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997 in the case of a Member who attains age 70 1/
2 in 1996), and any such distributions shall comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph. Furthermore, any Member who attains age 70 1/2 in a calendar year prior to 1996, may irrevocably elect, in the manner established by the Committee, to stop distributions and
recommence distributions as of the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Member retires. 
 If distributions have commenced so that payments are being made over the life of the Member, and
he dies before his entire interest has been distributed, then the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of his death, but in no event later than one
year after the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following his death. On the other hand, if a Member dies before the distribution of any of his benefits has begun, then his entire interest will be distributed no later than one year after
the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following his death. If the designated Beneficiary is the Member’s surviving spouse and such surviving spouse dies after the Member, but before payment to such surviving spouse is made, then the
provisions of the preceding sentence shall be applied as if the surviving spouse were the Member. Furthermore, if the designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Member, then distribution to such surviving spouse will not be required
earlier than the later of: (a) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the Member’s death and (b) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2. Distribution of benefits is considered to have begun, for purposes of this paragraph, on the required beginning date; provided
that if a Member’s designated Beneficiary is his surviving spouse, and such surviving spouse dies after the Member but before payments to such surviving spouse have begun, then distribution of benefits is considered to have begun on the date
distribution to the surviving spouse is required to begin pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding any
provision herein to the contrary, unless a Member or former Member elects otherwise, in writing, no distribution hereunder shall start later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the last to occur of the following occurs:

 (a) the Member or former Member attains Normal Retirement Age, 
 (b) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Member or former Member commenced participation in the Plan, or 
 (c) the Member or former Member terminates service with the Company. 
 15.3 Cash Out Distribution. If a Member or former Member who has received a distribution of his benefits hereunder on or before the last day of
the second Plan Year following the year in which his separation from service occurs, has forfeited a portion of his Individual Account, then in the event such Member or former Member is subsequently rehired by the Company or an Eligible Affiliate
prior to the date on which he incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, he shall be entitled to repay, at any time prior to the earlier of: (i) the date which is five (5) years after the first date on which he is subsequently
reemployed by the Company or an 

  

 25 








 
Eligible Affiliate and (ii) the date on which he incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, the amount of the distribution to him from his
Individual Account. Upon such repayment, the rehired Member’s or former Member’s Individual Account shall be credited with the exact amount that was nonvested at the time of termination. In the event a rehired Member or former Member who
has received a distribution hereunder does not timely repay such distribution from his Individual Account, as provided above, then the amount he forfeited at the time of his distribution pursuant to the terms of Section 10.3 hereof shall remain
forfeited. His prior years of Vesting Service shall be taken into account, however, for purposes of determining his vested interest in contributions following reemployment. If a Member or former Member who does not have any nonforfeitable right to
his Individual Account and thus is deemed to have received a cashout distribution, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof, is subsequently reemployed by the Company or an Eligible Affiliate prior to incurring five
(5) consecutive Breaks in Service, then upon such reemployment, the rehired Member’s or former Member’s Individual Account shall be credited with the exact amount that was nonvested at the time of termination. 
 15.4 Minority or Disability Payments. During the minority or Disability of any person entitled to receive benefits hereunder, the Committee may
direct the Trustee to make payments due such person directly to him or to his spouse or a relative or to any individual or institution having custody of such person. Neither the Committee nor the Trustee shall be required to see to the application
of payments so made, and the receipt of the payee (including the endorsement of a check or checks) shall be conclusive as to all interested parties. 
 15.5 Distributions Under Domestic Relations Orders. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Committee, from complying with the provisions of a qualified
domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code). The Plan specifically permits distribution to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order at any time, irrespective of whether the Member or former Member
has attained his earliest retirement age under the Plan, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code; provided, however, that a distribution to an alternate payee prior to the Member or former Member’s attainment of earliest retirement age is
available only if: (1) the order specifies distribution at that time or permits an agreement between the Plan and the alternate payee to authorize an earlier distribution; (2) the order specifies that such distribution will be in the form
of a single, lump-sum payment; and (3) if the amount to which the alternate payee is entitled under the Plan exceeds $1,000, and the order so requires, the alternate payee consents to any distribution occurring prior to the alternate
payee’s attainment of age sixty-two (62). If an alternate payee has not previously received a distribution of the entire interest to which such alternate payee is entitled hereunder, distribution shall be made to such alternate payee as soon as
practicable following the alternate payee’s attainment of age sixty-two (62). Nothing in this Section 15.5 gives a Member or former Member a right to receive distribution at a time otherwise not permitted under the Plan nor does it permit
the alternate payee to receive a form of payment not otherwise permitted under the Plan. 
 The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable
procedures to determine the qualified status of a domestic relations order. Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the Member or former Member and any alternate payee named in the order, in writing,
of the receipt of the order and the Plan’s procedures for 

  

 26 








 
determining the qualified status of the order. Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall
determine the qualified status of the order and shall notify the Member or former Member and each alternate payee, in writing, of its determination. The Plan Administrator shall provide notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual’s
address specified in the domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent with Department of Labor regulations. The Plan Administrator may treat as qualified any domestic relations order entered prior to January 1, 1985, irrespective of
whether it satisfies all the requirements described in Section 414(p) of the Code. 
 If any portion of an Individual Account is payable
during the period the Plan Administrator is making its determination of the qualified status of the domestic relations order, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to segregate the amounts that are payable into a separate account and to invest the
segregated account solely in fixed income investments. If the Plan Administrator determines the order is a qualified domestic relations order within eighteen (18) months of receiving the order, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to
distribute the segregated account in accordance with the order. If the Plan Administrator does not make its determination of the qualified status of the order within eighteen (18) months after receiving the order, the Committee shall direct the
Trustee to distribute the segregated account in the manner in which the Plan would otherwise distribute if the order did not exist and shall apply the order prospectively if the Plan Administrator later determines the order is a qualified domestic
relations order. 
 To the extent it is not inconsistent with the provisions of the qualified domestic relations order, the Committee may
direct the Trustee to invest any amount that is subject to being paid to an alternate payee pursuant to said order into a segregated subaccount or separate account and to invest the account in federally insured, interest-bearing savings account(s)
or time deposit(s) (or a combination of both), or in other fixed income investments. A segregated subaccount shall remain a part of the Trust, but it alone shall share in any income it earns, and it alone shall bear any expense or loss it incurs.

 The Trustee shall make any payments or distributions required under this Section 15.5 by separate benefit checks or other separate
distribution to the alternate payee(s). 
 15.6 Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions. An individual who is entitled to a
benefit hereunder (including a Participant’s surviving spouse, a Participant’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, and a non-spouse
Beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof), the distribution of which would qualify as an “eligible rollover distribution”, as such term is hereinafter defined, may, in lieu of receiving any payment or payments from
the Plan, direct the Trustee to transfer all or any portion of such payment or payments directly to the trustee of one or more “eligible retirement plans”, as such term is hereinafter defined. For purposes of this Section 15.6, the
term “eligible rollover distribution” is defined as any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, including any portion of such balance that consists of amounts that are not includible in gross
income, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee
or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and 

  

 27 








 
the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more and any distribution to the extent such distribution is
required under Code Section 401(a)(9). For purposes of this Section 15.6, the term “eligible retirement plan” shall mean (i) an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code; (ii) an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract); (iii) a qualified trust described under Section 401(a) of the Code; (iv) an annuity plan described in Section 403(a)
of the Code; (v) an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code; and (vi) an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a non-spouse Beneficiary, the term
“eligible retirement plan” shall refer only to a plan described in clauses (i) and (ii) above that is established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary and that is required to be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the
provisions of Section 402(c)(11) of the Code. Also, in this case, the determination of any required minimum distribution under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code that is ineligible for rollover shall be made in accordance with IRS Notice
2007-7, Q&A 17 and 18, 2007-5 I.R.B. 395. 
 A portion of a distribution that consists of after-tax employee contributions may be
transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution or defined benefit plan described in Section 401(a) or an annuity contract
described in Section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution
that is not so includible (as defined in Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code). 
 Any such election of a direct rollover must be made on a
form provided by the Committee for that purpose and received by the Committee no later than the date established by the Committee preceding the date on which the distribution is to occur. Any election made pursuant to this Section 15.6 may be
revoked at any time prior to the date established by the Committee preceding the date on which the distribution is to occur. If an individual who is so entitled has not elected a direct rollover within the time and in the manner set forth above,
such distributee shall be deemed to have affirmatively waived a direct rollover. A distributee who wishes to elect a direct rollover shall provide to the Committee, within the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, such information as
the Committee shall reasonably request regarding the eligible retirement plan or plans to which the payment or payments are to be transferred. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the information so provided, and shall not be required to
independently verify such information. The Committee shall be entitled to delay the transfer of any payment or payments pursuant to this Section 15.6 until it has received all of the information which it has requested in accordance with this
Section 15.6. 
 ARTICLE XVI 
 TRUSTEE 
 16.1 Appointment of Trustee. A Trustee (or Trustees) shall be appointed by the Committee to administer the
Trust Fund. The Trustee shall serve at the pleasure of the Committee and shall have such rights, powers and duties as are provided to a Trustee under ERISA for the investment of assets and for the administration of the Trust Fund. 
  

 28 








 16.2 Appointment of Investment Manager. An Investment Manager (or Investment Managers) may be
appointed by the Committee to manage (including the power to acquire and dispose of) any part or all of the assets of the Trust Fund. The Investment Manager shall serve at the pleasure of the Committee, and shall have the rights, powers and duties
provided to a named fiduciary under ERISA for the investment of the assets assigned to it. (The Investment Manager may be referred to from time to time hereafter as “he,” “they,” or “it,” or may be referred to in the
singular or plural, but all such references shall be to the then acting Investment Manager or Investment Managers serving hereunder.) 
 16.3
Responsibility of Trustee and Investment Manager. All contributions under this Plan shall be paid to and held by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have responsibility for the investment and reinvestment of the Trust Fund except with respect to
the management of those assets specifically delegated to the Investment Manager and those funds invested pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.5. The Investment Manager shall have exclusive management and control of the investment and/or
reinvestment of the assets of the Trust Fund assigned to it in writing by the Trustee. All property and funds of the Trust Fund, including income from investments and from all other sources, shall be retained for the exclusive benefit of Members or
former Members, as provided herein, and shall be used to pay benefits to Members or former Members or their Beneficiaries, or to pay expenses of administration of the Plan and Trust Fund. 
 This Plan and the related Trust are intended to allocate to each fiduciary the individual responsibilities of the prudent execution of the functions
assigned to each. None of the allocated responsibilities or any other responsibility shall be shared by the fiduciaries or the Trustee unless such sharing shall be provided for by a specific provision in this Plan or related Trust. 
 16.4 Bonding of Trustee and Investment Manager. Neither the Trustee nor the Investment Manager shall be required to furnish any bond or security
for the performance of their powers and duties hereunder unless the applicable law makes the furnishing of such bond or security mandatory. 
 ARTICLE XVII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 
 17.1 Amendment of Plan. The Company may, without the assent of any other party, make from time to time any amendment or amendments to this Plan
which do not cause any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Members or former Members of the Plan. Any such amendment shall be by a written instrument executed by the Company, and
shall become effective as of the date specified in such instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Member’s or former Member’s accrued
benefit, except as provided in Section 412(c)(8) of the Code. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an amendment which has the effect of decreasing a Member’s or former Member’s Individual Account or eliminating an optional form of
benefit, with respect to benefits attributable to service prior to such amendment shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit. If any amendment changes the vesting schedule set forth in Section 10.1, then a Member’s or former
Member’s nonforfeitable percentage in his Individual Account because of a change to the vesting schedule shall not be less than his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the vesting schedule in effect prior to the 

  

 29 








 
amendment. Furthermore, if any amendment changes the vesting schedule set forth in Section 10.1, then each Member or former Member having at least three
(3) Years of Vesting Service may elect to be governed under the vesting schedule set forth in the Plan without regard to the amendment. The Member or former Member must file his written election with the Committee within sixty (60) days
after receipt of a copy of the amendment. The Committee shall furnish the Member or former Member with a copy of the amendment and with notice of the time within which his election must be returned to the Committee. 
 17.2 Termination of Plan. The Company may at any time, effective as specified, terminate the Plan by resolution of its board of directors. A
certified copy of such resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee. 
 17.3 Complete Discontinuance of Contributions. In the event
the Company decides it is impossible or inadvisable for it to continue to make its contributions as provided in Article IV, it shall have the power by appropriate resolution to either: 
 (a) discontinue its contributions to the Plan; or 
 (b) terminate the Plan. 
 A
complete discontinuance of contributions by the Company shall not constitute a formal termination of the Plan and shall not preclude later contributions, but all Individual Accounts of Members or former Members not theretofore fully vested shall be
and become 100% vested and nonforfeitable in the respective Members or former Members, irrespective of the provisions of Section 10.1. In such event, Employees who become eligible to enter the Plan subsequent to the discontinuance shall receive
no benefit, and no additional benefits shall accrue to any of such Employees unless such contributions are resumed. After the date of a complete discontinuance of contributions, the Trust shall remain in existence as provided in this
Section 17.3, and the provisions of the Plan and Trust shall remain in force as may be necessary in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee. 
 17.4 Liquidation of Trust Fund. Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, the Individual Accounts of all Members, former Members and Beneficiaries shall thereupon be and become fully vested and
nonforfeitable. Thereupon, the Trustee shall convert the Trust Fund to cash after deducting all charges and expenses. The Committee shall then adjust the balances of all Individual Accounts, as provided in Section 5.2. Thereafter, the Trustee
shall distribute the amount to the credit of each affected Member, former Member and Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of Article XV hereof. 
 17.5 Consolidation or Merger. This Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any assets or liabilities be transferred to, any other plan, unless the benefits payable on behalf of each Member or
former Member if the Plan were terminated immediately after such action would be equal to or greater than the benefits to which such Member or former Member would have been entitled if this Plan had been terminated immediately before such action.
The Trustee shall not accept a direct transfer of assets from a plan subject to the requirements of Section 417 of the Code. 
  

 30 








 ARTICLE XVIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 18.1 No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be
construed as giving any person whomsoever any legal or equitable right against the Committee, the Company, its stockholders, officers or directors or against the Trustee, except as the same shall be specifically provided for in this Plan. Nor shall
anything in this Plan give any Member, former Member or other Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Company or an Eligible Affiliate and the employment of all persons by the Company or an Eligible Affiliate shall remain subject to
termination by the Company or such Eligible Affiliate to the same extent as if this Plan had never been executed. 
 18.2 Manner of
Payment. Wherever and whenever it is herein provided for payments or distributions to be made, whether in money or otherwise, said payments or distributions shall be made directly into the hands of the Member or former Member, his Beneficiary,
his administrator, executor or guardian, or an alternate payee pursuant to Section 15.5 herein, as the case may be. A deposit to the credit of a person entitled to payment in any bank or trust company selected by such person shall be deemed
payment into his hands, and provided further that in the event any person otherwise entitled to receive any payment or distribution shall be a minor or an incompetent, such payment or distribution may be made to his guardian or other person as may
be determined by the Committee. 
 18.3 Nonalienation of Benefits. Subject to Code Section 414(p) and Section 15.5 herein
relating to qualified domestic relations orders, the interest of any Member, former Member or Beneficiary hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to any indebtedness, judgment, process, creditors’ bills, attachments, garnishment, levy,
execution, seizure or receivership, nor shall such interest be in any manner reduced or affected by any transfer, assignment, conveyance, sale, encumbrance, act, omission, or mishap, voluntary or incidental, anticipatory or otherwise, of or to said
Member, former Member or Beneficiary, and they and any of them shall have no right or power to transfer, convey, assign, sell or encumber said benefits and their interest therein, legal or equitable, during the existence of this Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Plan shall preclude the enforcement of a Federal tax levy made pursuant to Section 6331 of the Code or collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

 18.4 Titles for Convenience Only. Titles of the Articles and Sections hereof are for convenience only and shall not be considered
in construing this Plan. Also words used in the singular or the plural may be construed as though in the plural or singular where they would so apply. 
 18.5 Validity of Plan. This Plan and each of its provisions shall be construed and their validity determined by the laws of the State of Texas, and all provisions hereof shall be administered in accordance with
the laws of said State, provided that in case of conflict, the provisions of ERISA shall control. 
  

 31 








 18.6 Plan Binding. This Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and
the Trustee and upon the heirs and personal representatives of those individuals who become Members hereunder. 
 18.7 Return of
Contributions. This Plan and the related Trust are designed to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the initial determination letter is issued by the District
Director of Internal Revenue to the effect that this Plan and related Trust hereby created, or as amended prior to the receipt of such letter, do not meet the requirements of Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, the Company shall be entitled
at its option to withdraw all contributions theretofore made, in which event the Plan and Trust shall then terminate. 
 Each contribution to
the Plan is specifically conditioned on the deductibility of such contribution under the Code. The Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall return to the Company the amount of the Company’s contribution made as a result of a
mistake of fact or the amount of the Company’s contribution disallowed as a deduction under Section 404 of the Code. Such return of contribution must be made within one (1) year after (a) the Company made the contribution by
mistake of fact or (b) the disallowance of the contribution as a deduction. The amount of contribution subject to being returned hereunder shall not be increased by any earnings attributable to the contribution, but such amount subject to being
returned shall be decreased by any losses attributable to it. 
 18.8 Missing Members or Beneficiaries. Each Member shall file with
the Committee from time to time in writing a mailing address and any change of mailing address for himself and his designated Beneficiary. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Member or Beneficiary at the last mailing address filed
with the Committee, or if no such address is filed with the Committee, then at his last mailing address as shown on the Company’s records, shall be binding on the Member or his Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall not
be required to search for or locate a Member or Beneficiary. If the Committee notifies any Member or Beneficiary that he is entitled to a distribution and also notifies him of the provisions of this Section 18.8 (or makes reasonable effort to
so notify such Member or Beneficiary by certified letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address, or such other further diligent effort, including consultation with the Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration, to
ascertain the whereabouts of such Member or Beneficiary as the Committee deems appropriate) and the Member or Beneficiary fails to claim his distributive share or make his whereabouts known to the Committee within three years thereafter, the
distributive share of such Member or Beneficiary will be forfeited and reallocated according to Section 6.2. However, if the Member or his Beneficiary should, thereafter, make a proper claim for such share, it shall be distributed to him.

 18.9 Voting Rights. 
 (a) Each Member shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which any Common Stock allocated to said Member’s Accounts shall be voted. The Committee shall furnish to each Member a proxy adequate
for such purpose. The Trustee shall vote specifically in accordance with each Member’s instructions to the extent of such Member’s whole shares and shall, to the extent possible, vote the combined 

  

 32 








 
fractional shares of such Members in such manner as to reflect the Members’ expressed desires. To the extent permitted under ERISA, the Trustee shall
vote shares of Common Stock with respect to which it does not receive instructions and shares of Common Stock which have not been allocated to Members’ Accounts under the Plan in the same proportion as are voted the shares of Common Stock held
under the Plan with respect to which instructions were received by the Trustee from Members. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the Plan, if a cash tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock is made, Common Stock allocated to each Member’s accounts under the Plan shall be tendered or exchanged by the Trustee pursuant to such
cash tender offer or exchange offer only in accordance with the written instructions and directions of such Member to the Trustee to so tender or exchange. If a cash tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock is made, the Trustee
shall use its best efforts to take those steps reasonably necessary to furnish information to, and allow decision by, each Member with respect to such cash tender offer or exchange offer and the shares of Common Stock allocated to such Member’s
accounts under the Plan in substantially the same manner as would be available to holders of Common Stock generally, and, in that connection, the Trustee shall: 
 (i) Inform each Member as to the existence of such cash tender offer or exchange offer; 
 (ii) Transmit to each Member as soon as practicable such written information, explanation and other materials relative to such cash tender
offer or exchange offer as are made available by the Company or by the persons or entities making such cash tender offer or exchange offer to the holders of shares of Common Stock generally; 
 (iii) Request detailed written instructions and directions from each Member as to whether to tender or exchange the shares of Common Stock
allocated to such Member’s accounts under the Plan and as to the time and manner of such tender or exchange, if so instructed and directed; and 
 (iv) Use its best efforts to effect on a nondiscriminatory basis the tender or exchange of Common Stock held under the Plan with respect to such cash tender offer or exchange offer solely in accordance with written
instructions and directions received from Members. If written instructions or directions are not timely received from a Member, the shares of Common Stock allocated to his accounts under the Plan shall not be tendered or exchanged pursuant to such
cash tender offer or exchange offer. 
 For purposes of this subparagraph (b), the term cash tender offer shall include a
tender offer for, or request or invitation for tenders of, shares of Common Stock in exchange for cash, as made to the Plan or to holders of shares of Common Stock generally; the term exchange offer shall include a tender offer for, or request or
invitation for tenders of, any shares of Common Stock in exchange for any consideration other than for all cash, as made to the Plan or to holders of shares of Common Stock generally. 
  

 33 








 (c) If any shares of Common Stock held under the Plan are tendered or exchanged pursuant
to a cash tender offer or exchange offer in accordance with subparagraph (b) above, any cash proceeds obtained by the Trustee in connection therewith shall be temporarily invested in such short term investments as the Trustee may determine,
until such time as such temporarily invested cash proceeds are reinvested in Common Stock. Any other property obtained by the Trustee pursuant to an exchange offer shall be temporarily held in kind by the Trustee, until such time as such temporarily
held property is sold and the proceeds therefrom are reinvested in Common Stock. 
 18.10 Preretirement Diversification Rights. If, as
of December 31, 2007, a Member has attained age fifty-five (55) and has been credited with ten (10) years of participation in the Plan (hereinafter referred to as a “Qualified Member”), notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 15.1 hereof, the following rules shall apply to any distribution made under the Plan to or on behalf of such Qualified Member. 
 (a) Annuity Distributions to Qualified Members. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute such Member’s benefits held in a Qualified Member’s Individual Account in the form of a qualified
joint and survivor annuity, unless the Qualified Member has a valid waiver election (described in Section 18.10(b) hereof) in effect. A qualified joint and survivor annuity is an immediate annuity (a) that is payable for the life of the
Qualified Member, with, if the Qualified Member is married on the annuity starting date, as defined below, a survivor annuity for the life of the Qualified Member’s surviving spouse that is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the
annuity payable during the joint lives of the Qualified Member and his spouse, and (b) that is the actuarial equivalent of a single annuity for the life of the Qualified Member. On or before the annuity starting date (the first day of the first
period for which the Qualified Member would receive an amount as an annuity or in any other form), the Committee shall direct the Trustee to pay the Qualified Member’s benefits in a lump sum, in lieu of a qualified joint and survivor annuity,
if the nonforfeitable portion of a Qualified Member’s Individual Account is not greater than One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00). 
 If a Qualified Member who is married dies prior to commencement of payment of his benefits, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Qualified Member’s Individual Account, as calculated under
Article VIII, to the Qualified Member’s surviving spouse in the form of a preretirement survivor annuity, unless the Qualified Member has a valid waiver election (as described in Section 18.10(c) hereof) in effect. A preretirement survivor
annuity is an annuity that is payable for the life of the Qualified Member’s surviving spouse. The surviving spouse may elect to have the preretirement survivor annuity distributed within a reasonable period after the Qualified Member’s
death. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to pay the Qualified Member’s Individual Account in a lump sum, in lieu of a preretirement survivor annuity, if the nonforfeitable portion of a Qualified Member’s Individual Account is not
greater than One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00). 
 The Committee is not required to distribute any survivor annuity
described herein to the spouse of a Qualified Member unless the Qualified Member and his spouse were married throughout the one-year period ending on the earlier of the Qualified Member’s 

  

 34 








 
annuity starting date or the Qualified Member’s death; provided, however, this exception shall not apply if the Qualified Member marries within one year
before the annuity starting date and has been married for at least a one-year period ending on or before the date of the Qualified Member’s death. 
 If the Qualified Member has in effect a valid waiver election regarding the qualified joint and survivor annuity or the preretirement survivor annuity, and has not elected to receive a qualified optional survivor
annuity, as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant’s Individual Account in accordance with Section 15.1. Furthermore, the Qualified Member’s surviving spouse may
elect a qualified optional survivor annuity or the form of payment described in Section 15.1 in lieu of the preretirement survivor annuity. For purposes of applying this Section 18.10, the Committee shall treat a former spouse as the
Qualified Member’s spouse or surviving spouse to the extent required under a qualified domestic relations order. 
 (b)
Waiver Election – Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Within a reasonable period of time (no less than thirty (30) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days) before the Qualified Member’s annuity starting date,
the Committee shall provide the Qualified Member a written explanation of the terms and conditions of the qualified joint and survivor annuity and the qualified optional survivor annuity, the Qualified Member’s right to make, and the effect of,
an election to waive the qualified joint and survivor form of benefit, the rights of a married Qualified Member’s spouse regarding the waiver election and the Qualified Member’s right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a waiver
election. 
 A Qualified Member’s waiver election is not valid unless: 
 (i) the Qualified Member makes the waiver election within the one hundred eighty (180) day period ending on his annuity starting
date; 
 (ii) in the event the nonforfeitable portion of the Qualified Member’s Individual Account exceeds Five Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), the Qualified Member’s spouse (to whom the survivor annuity is payable under the qualified joint and survivor annuity) consents in writing to the waiver election, the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect
of the election, and a notary public or a Committee member (or its representative) witnesses the spouse’s consent; and 
 (iii) in the event the nonforfeitable portion of a Qualified Member’s Individual Account exceeds Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), either the spouse is the Qualified Member’s sole primary Beneficiary or the spouse
consents to the Qualified Member’s Beneficiary designation or to any change in the Qualified Member’s Beneficiary Designation. 
 Additionally, a Qualified Member’s waiver of the qualified joint and survivor annuity shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment, which may include a qualified optional
survivor annuity, which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the spouse expressly permits designations by the Qualified Member without any further spousal consent). 
  

 35 








 The Committee may accept as valid a waiver election that does not satisfy the spousal
consent requirements described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above if the Committee establishes that the Qualified Member does not have a spouse, the Committee is not able to locate the Qualified Member’s spouse, or other circumstances
prescribed by Treasury Department regulations. 
 Any consent by a spouse obtained under this Section (or the establishment
that the consent of a spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such spouse. A consent that permits designations by the Qualified Member without any requirement of further consent by such spouse must acknowledge that the
spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a
Qualified Member without the consent of the spouse at any time before the commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this Section shall be valid unless the Qualified Member has received an
explanation of the terms and conditions of the qualified joint and survivor annuity and the qualified optional survivor annuity, as provided herein. For purposes of this Section 18.10, a qualified optional survivor annuity is an immediate
annuity (a) that is payable for the life of the Qualified Member, with, if the Qualified Member is married on the annuity starting date, a survivor annuity for the life of the Qualified Member’s surviving spouse that is equal to
seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Qualified Member and his spouse, and (b) that is the actuarial equivalent of a single annuity for the life of the Qualified Member. 

(c) Waiver Election - Preretirement Survivor Annuity. The Committee shall provide each Qualified Member, within a reasonable
period after the Member becomes a Qualified Member, a written explanation of the terms and conditions of the preretirement survivor annuity, the Qualified Member’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the preretirement
survivor annuity, the rights of the Qualified Member’s spouse regarding the waiver election and the Qualified Member’s right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a waiver election. 
 For purposes of applying this subsection, a reasonable period is the end of the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date on
which the Member becomes a Qualified Member, and ending one year after that date. 
 A Qualified Member’s waiver election
of the preretirement survivor annuity is not valid unless the election satisfies the spousal consent requirements described in Section 18.10(b). 
 18.11 Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance
with Section 414 (u) of the Code. 
  

 36 








 In addition, a Member who dies or incurs a Disability while performing qualified military service (as defined by
Section 414(u) of the Code) after January 1, 2007 will receive benefit accruals as if the Member resumed employment in accordance with the Member’s reemployment rights under chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, on the day
preceding death or Disability and terminated employment on the actual date of death or Disability. Such benefit accruals shall be determined according to Section 414(u)(9)(C) of the Code. 
 ARTICLE XIX 
 TOP-HEAVY RULES 
 19.1 Definitions. For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article XIX: 
 (a) “Key Employee” shall mean, as of any Determination Date (as defined below), any Employee or former Employee (including any
deceased Employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date, was an officer of the Company having Annual Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning
on or after January 1, 2003), a 5-percent owner of the Company, or a 1-percent owner of the Company having Annual Compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, Annual Compensation means compensation within the meaning of
Section 6.5(b)(iv) of the Plan. The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. The
constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code will apply to determine ownership in the Company. 
 (b)
“Non-Key Employee” is an Employee who does not meet the definition of Key Employee. 
 (c) “Required
Aggregation Group” means: 
 (i) Each qualified plan of the Company or an Affiliated Entity (as defined below) in which
at least one (1) Key Employee participates or participated at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date, or during the preceding four Plan Years (regardless of whether the plan has terminated); and 
 (ii) Any other qualified plan of the Company that enables a plan described in (1) to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4)
or Section 410 of the Code. 
 (d) “Permissive Aggregation Group” is the Required Aggregation Group plus any
other qualified plans maintained by the Company, but only if such group would satisfy in the aggregate the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and Section 410 of the Code. The Committee shall determine which plans to take into account in
determining the Permissive Aggregation Group. 
  

 37 








 (e) “Determination Date” for any Plan Year is the Allocation Date of the
preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the Allocation Date of that Plan Year. 
 (f)
“Five Percent (5%) Owner” is any person who owns more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the
Company. 
 (g) “One Percent (1%) Owner” is any person who owns more than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than one percent (1%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Company. 
 (h) “Affiliated Entity” shall mean all the members of (i) a controlled group of corporations as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code; (ii) a commonly controlled group of trades or businesses
(whether or not incorporated) as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code; (iii) an affiliated service group as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code of which the Company is a part; or (iv) a group of entities required to be
aggregated pursuant to Section 414(o) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. 
 19.2 Determination of Top-Heavy
Status. The Plan is top heavy for a Plan Year if the top heavy ratio as of the Determination Date (as defined in Section 19.1 above) exceeds sixty percent (60%). The top heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
present value of the Individual Accounts of all Key Employees (as defined in Section 19.1 above) as of the Determination Date and the denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees in the Plan. The present value of the
Individual Account balance of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the
1-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.
In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.” The Individual Account of any
individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account. The Committee shall calculate the top heavy ratio without regard to any Non Key Employee (as
defined in Section 19.1 above) who was formerly a Key Employee. The Committee shall calculate the top heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers and transfers, in accordance with
Section 416 of the Code and the regulations under that Code Section. 
 If the Company maintains other qualified plans (including a
simplified employee pension plan) this Plan is top-heavy only if it is part of the Required Aggregation Group (as defined in Section 19.1 above), and the top-heavy ratio for both the Required Aggregation Group and the Permissive Aggregation
Group (as defined in Section 19.1 above) exceeds sixty percent (60%). The Committee will calculate the top-heavy ratio in the same manner as required by the first paragraph of this Section 19.2, taking into account all plans within the
aggregation group. The Committee shall calculate the present value of accrued benefits and the other amounts the Committee must take into account, under defined benefit plans or simplified employee pension 

  

 38 








 
plans included within the group in accordance with the terms of those plans, Section 416 of the Code and the regulations under that Code Section. The
Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. 
 19.3
Minimum Company Contribution. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for any Plan Year in which this Plan is determined to be top-heavy pursuant to Section 19.2 hereof, each Non-Key Employee who is an eligible Member
shall be entitled to a supplemental contribution equal to three percent (3%) of such Non-Key Employee’s Annual Compensation, reduced by (i) the amount of “Qualified Nonelective Contributions”, if any, allocated to a
Member’s “Salary Reduction Contribution Account” under the Southwest Airlines Co. 401(k) Plan for the applicable Plan Year and (ii) the amount of “Non-Elective Contributions”, if any, allocated to a Member’s
“Participant’s Elective Account” under the Southwest Airlines Pilots Retirement Savings Plan for the applicable Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 19.3, an eligible Member is a Non-Key Employee who is employed by the Company
on the last day of the applicable Plan Year. 
 The percentage referred to in the preceding paragraph shall not exceed the percentage of
Annual Compensation at which Company contributions are made or allocated under this Plan and all other qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the Company, including “Salary Reduction Contributions” under the Southwest Airlines
Co. 401(k) Plan and “Elective Contributions” under the Southwest Airlines Pilots Retirement Savings Plan , to the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the largest; provided, however, this sentence shall not apply if the Plan is
required to be included in an Aggregation Group and enables a defined benefit plan required to be included in such group to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. If the minimum allocation is made for a Non-Key Employee pursuant to
another qualified plan maintained by the Company, then the minimum allocation requirement will be considered satisfied for purposes of this Plan. “Company Matching Contributions” under the Southwest Airlines Co. 401(k) Plan and
“matching contributions” under the Southwest Airlines Pilots Retirement Savings Plan shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan and shall be
treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of section 401(m) of the Code. 
 ARTICLE XX 
 FIDUCIARY PROVISIONS 
 20.1 General Allocation of Duties. Each fiduciary with respect to the Plan shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations as are specifically given him under the Plan. The board

fiduciary shall not be liable for any breach of fiduciary responsibility by another fiduciary unless: 
 (a) it participates
knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal, an act or omission of such other fiduciary, knowing such act or omission is a breach; 
 (b) by its failure to comply with Section 404(a)(1) of ERISA in the administration of its specific responsibilities which give rise to its status as a fiduciary, it has enabled such other fiduciary to commit a
breach; or 
 (c) having knowledge of a breach by such other fiduciary, it fails to make reasonable efforts under the
circumstances to remedy the breach. 
  

 40 








 20.5 Delegation and Allocation. The Committee may appoint subcommittees, individuals or any other
agents as it deems advisable and may delegate to any of such appointees any or all of the powers and duties of the Committee. Such appointment and delegations must clearly specify the powers and duties delegated. Upon such appointment and
delegation, the delegating Committee members shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any such delegate, as long as the delegating Committee members do not violate their fiduciary responsibility in making or continuing such delegation.
