	 	4.	Deferral Agreements, Deferral Accounts and Share Award Deferrals. 

  
 (a) Deferral Agreement. The Company and any Participant may agree to defer all or a portion of his or her compensation, under the
terms provided in any Deferral Agreement form provided to the Participant in accordance with the Plan, by executing a completed Deferral Agreement. An election to defer compensation for a taxable year pursuant to a Deferral Agreement must be made
not later than the close of the preceding taxable year, or at such other time provided in Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A (or earlier date specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement form); provided that, in the case of
the first year in which a Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan within the meaning of Code Section 409A and applicable administrative guidance, such election may be made with respect to services to be performed subsequent to
the election within 30 days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (or earlier date specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement form); and, in the case of any performance-based compensation based on services
performed over a period of at least 12 months, such election may be made no later than 6 months before the end of the period (or earlier date specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement form). The Deferral Agreement form shall establish for each
Participant the amount and type of compensation (including bonuses and/or salary) that may or shall be deferred pursuant to the Plan and such determination will be reflected on the relevant Deferral Agreement 

  

 -4- 








 
form, and may establish maximum or minimum amounts of aggregate deferrals that may be elected for a Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to vary
any term that is set forth in the Deferral Agreement form except to the extent that the form of Deferral Agreement itself permits variations. 
  
 (b) Code Section 409A Transition Rules. The Committee or Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may offer to
any Participant the option to (i) terminate participation in the Plan and to receive in 2005 a complete payout of his or her vested Deferral Account, (ii) cancel deferral elections with respect to compensation that would otherwise be
payable in 2005, (iii) make new elections in 2005 as to time and form (but not medium) of payment for compensation that would not otherwise be payable under the Plan in 2005, provided the elections are consistent with the requirements of Code
Section 409A, or (iv) make new elections in 2006 as to time and form (but not medium) of payment for deferrals of compensation that would not otherwise be payable under the Plan in 2006, provided the elections are consistent with the
requirements of Code Section 409A. Any elections made under this Section shall be administered by the Committee or the Plan Administrator in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, proposed Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1 et
seq. and any successor legislation or guidance that amends, supplements or replaces such guidance. 
  
 (c) Establishment of Deferral Accounts. The Committee or Plan Administrator shall establish a Deferral Account for each
Participant. Each Deferral Account shall be maintained for the Participant solely as a bookkeeping entry by the Company to evidence unfunded obligations of the Company. The Participant shall be 100% vested in the Participant’s Deferral Account
at all times, except to the extent otherwise specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement or in any other agreement between the Company and the Participant. The provisions with respect to vesting in any such Deferral Agreement or other agreement
shall be incorporated in this Plan and given effect as if fully set forth herein. A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited with the amounts required to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to the
Participant’s initial Deferral Agreement or pursuant to any subsequent Deferral Agreement entered into by that Participant and the Company, in each case, less the amount of federal, state or local tax required by law to be withheld with respect
to such amounts, unless such withholding is provided from another source, and shall be adjusted for Hypothetical Investment results as described herein. 
  
 (d) Hypothetical Investments and Managers. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(g), amounts credited to a Deferral Account
shall be deemed to be invested in one or more hypothetical investments (“Hypothetical Investments”). Each Participant shall select an investment manager (a “Manager”) from a list established by the Committee or Plan
Administrator, and the Manager will then select Hypothetical Investments on the Participant’s behalf. A Participant may select a successor Manager from such list of Managers from time to time. For the unvested portion of a Participant’s
Deferral Account, a Manager may select Hypothetical Investments from a list of investments selected from time to time by the Committee or Plan Administrator (the “Unvested Account List”), and subject to any limitation on permissible
allocations among groups of Hypothetical Investments that the Committee or Plan Administrator may establish. For the vested portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account (which shall be accounted for in a separate vested subaccount pursuant to
Section 4(j)), a Manager may select Hypothetical Investments from a list of publicly available mutual funds, publicly traded 

  

 -5- 








 
stock and bonds selected from time to time by the Committee or Plan Administrator (the “Vested Account List”). The Committee or Plan Administrator
shall consider requests from any Participant to add to the list of Managers and/or to the Vested Account List, and shall satisfy such requests if they are reasonably acceptable to the Committee or Plan Administrator. The Committee or Plan
Administrator may change or discontinue any Hypothetical Investment or Manager if reasonably necessary to satisfy business objectives of the Company or its Affiliates; provided that, following a Change in Control, neither the Committee nor the Plan
Administrator may change or modify the investment options existing immediately prior to such Change in Control in any manner that is adverse to the Participants. Except in accordance with Section 4(l), no Hypothetical Investments may be made in
any debt or equity issued by FIL or its Affiliates. 
  
 (e) List of Hypothetical Investments and Managers. An initial list of Managers, an initial Unvested Account List, and an initial Vested Account List shall be established by the Board, the Committee or the Plan Administrator and each
such list shall be provided to each Participant in connection with the initial Deferral Agreement. 
  
 (f) Investment of Deferral Accounts. As provided in Sections 4(d) and 5(b), each Deferral Account shall be deemed to be invested in
one or more Hypothetical Investments as of the date of the deferral or credit, as the case may be. The amounts of hypothetical income, appreciation and depreciation in value of the Hypothetical Investments shall be credited and debited to, or
otherwise reflected in, such Deferral Account from time to time in accordance with procedures established by the Committee or Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or Plan Administrator, amounts credited to a Deferral
Account shall be deemed invested in Hypothetical Investments as of the date so credited. 
  
 (g) Allocation and Reallocation of Hypothetical Investments. A Manager may allocate and reallocate amounts credited to a
Participant’s Deferral Account to one or more of the Hypothetical Investments authorized under the Plan with such frequency as determined by the Committee or the Plan Administrator. Subject to the rules established by the Committee or Plan
Administrator, a Manager may reallocate amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account to other Hypothetical Investments by filing with the Committee or Plan Administrator a notice, in such form as may be specified by the Committee or
Plan Administrator. No Participant shall have the right, at any time, to direct a Manager to enter into specific transactions in connection with his or her Deferral Account; provided that this provision shall not prohibit the Participant from
communicating with the Manager regarding Hypothetical Investments, including communication regarding preferred Hypothetical Investment objectives. Each Manager shall have the power to acquire and dispose of such Hypothetical Investments as the
Manager determines necessary in connection with its portfolio. The Committee or Plan Administrator may restrict or prohibit reallocation of amounts deemed invested in specified Hypothetical Investments or invested by specified Managers to comply
with applicable law or regulation. 
  
 (h) No
Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Hypothetical Investments are to be used for measurement purposes only. A Participant’s election of any such Hypothetical
Investments, the allocation of such Hypothetical Investments to his or her Deferral Account, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Deferral 

  

 -6- 








 
Account shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Deferral Account in any such Hypothetical Investments. In
the event that the Company or the Trustee, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Hypothetical Investments, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a
Participant’s Deferral Account shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the
Company. 
  
 (i) Forfeiture of Unvested
Portions of Deferral Accounts Upon Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company, any unvested portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account (excluding the portion, if any, that vests as
a result of such termination) shall be forfeited and terminated in accordance with the applicable Deferral Agreement, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 (j) Change in Law. If a future change in law would,
in the judgment of the Committee or Plan Administrator, likely accelerate taxation to a Participant of amounts that would be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account in the future under the Participant’s Deferral Agreement, the
Company and the Participant will attempt to amend the Plan to satisfy the requirements of the change in law and, unless and until such an amendment is agreed to, Company shall cease deferrals under this Deferral Agreement on the effective date of
such change in law; provided however, the Company shall not cease deferrals if such cessation would violate the provisions of Code Section 409A. 
  
 (k) Separate Maintenance of Vested Subaccounts. A separate vested subaccount shall be established and maintained for each
Participant who either (a) elects to defer amounts of salary and/or cash bonus payments pursuant to a Deferral Agreement, or (b) becomes vested in a portion of the unvested balance of the Participant’s Deferral Account (the
“Unvested Balance”). A Participant’s vested subaccount shall constitute part of the Participant’s Deferral Account. Whenever a portion of a Participant’s Unvested Balance becomes vested, the portion that becomes vested shall
be transferred to the Participant’s separate vested subaccount as specified in the Deferral Agreement or other agreement entered into between the Participant and the Company. If a Participant elects to defer amounts of salary and cash bonus
pursuant to a Deferral Agreement, the deferral salary and cash bonus shall be accounted for in the Participant’s separate vested subaccount. The amounts of hypothetical income, appreciation and depreciation in value of the Hypothetical
Investments of amounts in a vested subaccount shall be credited and debited to, or otherwise reflected in, such vested subaccount from time to time in accordance with procedures established by the Committee or Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee or Plan Administrator, amounts credited to a vested subaccount shall be deemed invested in Hypothetical Investments as of the date so credited. 
  
 (l) Share Award Deferrals. Pursuant to an applicable Award Agreement, compensation in the form of a
Stock Unit may be deferred under this Plan (any such deferral, a “Share Award Deferral”). If a Share Award Deferral is made for a Participant, a separate subaccount of the Participant’s Deferral Account shall be established and
maintained in order to account for the Participant’s rights under the Share Award Deferral, and any hypothetical earnings and losses thereon shall be recorded in such separate subaccount. Any such subaccount 

  

 -7- 








 
shall be unvested to the extent attributable to an unvested Stock Unit, and from the time that the Stock Unit vests shall be deemed to be invested solely in
shares of FIL stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant shall not be entitled to reallocate any portion of a subaccount that is deemed invested in a Stock Unit or FIL shares to another Hypothetical
Investment. 
  

	 	5.	Establishment of Trust. 

  
 (a) The Trust Agreement. The Company has entered into a Trust Agreement for the Plan, providing for the establishment of a trust to
be held and administered by a trustee (the “Trustee”) designated in the Trust Agreement (the “Trust”). The Trustee shall be the agent for purposes of such duties delegated to the Trustee by the Committee or Plan Administrator as
set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Trust shall be irrevocable. 
  
 (b) Funding the Trust. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(d) with respect to Share Award Deferrals, on the relevant Deferral Day, the Company shall deposit into the Trust cash or other assets, as
specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement, equal to the aggregate amount required to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account for that Deferral Day, less applicable taxes required to be withheld, if any. The assets of the Trust
shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company in the event of an insolvency of the Company. Assets of the Trust shall at all times be located within the United States. 
  
 (c) Taxes and Expenses of the Trust. The Committee
and the Plan Administrator shall make all investment decisions for the Trust, and no Participant shall be entitled to direct any investments of the Trust. All taxes on any gains and losses from the investment of the assets of the Trust shall be
recognized by the Company and the taxes thereon shall be paid by the Company and shall not be recovered from the Deferral Accounts or the Trust. The third-party administrative expenses of the Plan and the Trust, including expenses charged by the
Trustee to establish the Trust and the Trustee’s annual fee per Deferral Account, shall be paid by the Company, and shall neither be payable by Trustee from the Trust nor reduce any Deferral Accounts; provided that any Managers’ fees or
other expenses incurred with respect to particular Hypothetical Investment or any asset of the Trust which corresponds to a particular Hypothetical Investment shall be charged to the Deferral Account that is deemed invested in such Hypothetical
Investment. No part of the Company’s internal expenses to administer the Plan, including overhead expenses, shall be charged to the Trust or the Deferral Accounts. 
  
 (d) Trust for Share Award Deferrals. In connection with a Share Award Deferral, the Company shall be
required to deposit shares of FIL into trust only if required to do so under the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, and in no event earlier than the time that the related Stock Unit vests. If shares of FIL are to be transferred into trust
under a Share Award Deferral, the shares may be transferred either into the Trust (as may be amended to provide for such transfer) or into another trust established for the benefit of the Participants. To the extent practicable, the terms of any
trust used or established for a Share Award Deferral shall resemble the terms of the Trust Agreement as of the date hereof; provided that any FIL shares that FIL contributes to the trust shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of
both the Company and FIL and shall revert to FIL if they are not payable to a Participant upon termination of the 

  

 -8- 








 
trust or (if earlier) at the time of the forfeiture of the corresponding deemed investment in accordance with Section 4(i). 
  

	 	6.	Settlement of Deferral Accounts. 

  
 (a) Payout Elections. The Company shall pay or direct the Trustee to pay the net amount credited to a Deferral Account as elected
by the Participant in the Participant’s Deferral Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Plan or as provided in an Award Agreement. A Participant shall be required to select one of the payout alternatives set forth in the form of
Deferral Agreement provided to the Participant by the Plan Administrator. Except for payouts due to the death, Disability, Unforeseeable Emergency or Separation from Service of the Participant, no payout of amounts credited to a Participant’s
Deferral Account shall occur prior to the first anniversary of the Deferral Agreement. The Committee or Plan administer may, in its sole discretion, allow a Participant to redefer the payout of his Deferral Account one or more times;
provided, that (i) such redeferral may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which such election is made; (ii) in the case of an election related to any payment other than a payment that would be made upon the
Participant’s death, Disability, or the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the first payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise
have been made; and (iii) any election that would affect a scheduled payout may be made not less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payout date. The preceding restrictions on redeferrals shall be construed and administered
in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C). No Participant shall be entitled to accelerate the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan, except where an acceleration would not result in the imposition of additional
tax under Code Section 409A. 
  
 (b)
Payment in Cash or Securities. The Company shall settle a Participant’s Deferral Account, and discharge all of its obligations to pay deferred compensation under the Plan with respect to such Deferral Account, by payment of cash in an
amount equal to or, at the option of the Committee or Plan Administrator, in marketable securities selected by the Committee or Plan Administrator with a Fair Market Value equal to the net amount credited to the applicable Deferral Account; provided
that a Hypothetical Investment of a subaccount that is allocated to shares of stock of FIL in accordance with Section 4(l) shall be settled only in shares of stock of FIL. Any such distributions to a Participant shall reduce the Company’s
obligations under the Plan to such Participant. The Company’s obligation under the Plan may be satisfied by distributions from the Trust. 
  
 (c) Timing of Payments. 
  
 (i) Payments in settlement of a Participant’s Deferral Account may be distributed no earlier than the Participant’s Separation
from Service, Disability, death, a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified in the applicable Deferral Agreement, Change in Control or the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. In the case of a Participant who is a Specified
Employee, a payment on account of Separation from Service may not be made before the date which is 6 months after the date of Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). In such event, the single lump sum
payment or any installment payments 

  

 -9- 








 
that otherwise would have been payable within such six (6) month period, will be paid as soon as administratively practicable after such six
(6) month period. 
  
 (ii) Payments in
settlement of a Deferral Account shall be made as soon as practicable after the date or dates (including upon the occurrence of specified events), and in such number of installments, as directed by the Participant in the Participant’s Deferral
Agreement, unless otherwise provided in this Section 6. All amounts needed for a payment shall be deemed withdrawn from the Hypothetical Investments as close in time as is practicable to the requested payment date. If a Participant has elected
to receive installment payments, the amount of the distribution payable is based upon the value of the Deferral Account at the time of the installment payment date and shall act to reduce Hypothetical Investments in the following order:
(A) cash and money market accounts, and (B) each other Hypothetical Investment on a pro rata basis, based on the value of the Participant’s Deferral Account. For purposes of a redeferral election as permitted under this
Section 6, an election to receive installment payments shall be treated as an election to receive a series of separate payments. If a Participant has elected to receive partial payments of the amount in his or her Deferral Account, unpaid
balances shall continue to be deemed to be invested in the Hypothetical Investments that such Participant has designated pursuant to Section 4(d) or 4(f). 
  

(iii) In the event of a Participant’s death prior to the payment of all net amounts credited to his or her Deferral Account, such
amounts shall be paid to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the Participant’s death. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease
the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate, if a probate proceeding is
open at the time for the distribution(s), and otherwise shall be the person(s) who would be entitled to the distribution(s) under the Participant’s last will and /or revocable trust (if such will distributes the residuary estate to such trust)
and otherwise to the person(s) who would inherit the Participant’s property under the law of the Participant’s last domicile. If the Committee or Plan Administrator has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to
this Plan, the Committee or Plan Administrator shall have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s or Plan Administrator’s satisfaction. The payment of benefits
under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Company from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and such Participant’s interest in the Plan shall terminate upon such full payment of
benefits. 
  
 (iv) Irrespective of any elections
made by a Participant, if the Committee or Plan Administrator determines that a Participant has become Disabled, the net vested amount credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be paid out in a single lump sum to the Participant.

  
 (d) Unforeseeable Emergency. Other
provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, if the Committee or Plan Administrator determines that the Participant has an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Committee or Plan Administrator shall direct the immediate lump sum payment to the Participant of
vested amounts that the Committee or Plan Administrator determines to be necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes 

  

 -10- 








 
reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved
through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). The preceding sentence shall be
construed and administered in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii). If the Committee determines that a Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Plan Administrator shall authorize the cessation of
deferrals by such Participant under the Plan. 
  
 (e) Distribution upon Income Inclusion under Code Section 409A. If, for any reason, it has been determined that the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the
Committee or the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Participant the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account that is required to be included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  
 (f) Effect on Deferral Account. A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be debited to the extent of any distributions to the Participant pursuant to this Section 6. 
  

	 	7.	Amendment and Termination. 

  
 (a) Amendment. The Committee, Plan Administrator or the Board may, with prospective or retroactive effect, amend or alter the Plan
(i) if the Internal Revenue Service determines that any amounts deferred under the Plan are includible in the Participant’s gross income prior to being paid out to the Participant, (ii) any time, if determined to be necessary,
appropriate or advisable in response to administrative guidance issued under Code Section 409A or to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, or (iii) if no Participant is materially adversely affected by such action with
respect to amounts required to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account under any previously executed Deferral Agreement; provided that, upon an event described in clause (i), the Company may accelerate distributions

without the prior written consent of each Participant who would be materially adversely affected by such action; and provided further that, the Company may accelerate distributions under this Plan only where doing so will not result in the
imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A. 
  
 (b) Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary and except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee or Plan Administrator, the Plan shall terminate as soon as possible following the
payment of all amounts in respect of all Deferral Accounts.

selection and actions of the Trustee or any other third party providing services to the Company or the Trust in connection with the Plan or Trust (including their administrative and investment expenses), including any income taxes of the Participant
or Participant’s Beneficiary relating to or arising out of his or her participation in the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee or Plan Administrator shall be liable or responsible therefor other than as provided in

act is in accordance with the directions from the Committee or Plan Administrator or any designee of the Committee or Plan Administrator. 
  
 (iv) Subject only to the Company’s indemnification of Participants provided in Section 8(b)(i), each Participant agrees to pay
any taxes, penalties and interest such Participant or Beneficiary may incur in connection with his or her participation in this Plan, and further agrees to indemnify the Company and its Affiliates, the Committee, the Plan Administrator, Officers,

 -12- 








 
interest the Participant or Participant’s Beneficiary incurs and fails to pay and for which the Company is made liable by the appropriate tax authority.

  
 (c) Unfunded Status of Awards, Creation of
Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for deferred compensation and each Participant shall rely solely on the unsecured promise of the Company for payment hereunder. With respect to any payment not yet made to a Participant
under the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan shall give a Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 
  

(d) Participant Rights. No provision of the Plan or transaction hereunder shall confer upon any Participant any right or impose
upon any Participant any obligation to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to increase or decrease the amount of any compensation payable to such Participant. Subject

connection with (i) the performance of the Managers, (ii) the performance of the Hypothetical Investments, and (iii) the tax treatment of amounts deferred under or paid pursuant to the Plan, and the Company, the Committee, the Plan
Administrator, and the Board shall not be liable or responsible therefor. 
  
 (h) Construction. The captions and numbers preceding the sections of the Plan are included solely as a matter of convenience of reference and are not to be taken as limiting or extending the meaning of any of
the terms and provisions of the Plan. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the plural or the plural may be read as the singular. 
  
 (i) Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be declared illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. 
  
 (j) Status. The establishment and maintenance of, or
allocations and credits to, the Deferral Account of any Participant shall not vest in any Participant any right, title or interest in or to any Plan or Company assets or benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions and to

	 	9.	Claims Procedures. 

  
 (a) Presentation of Claim. If any person does not believe that he or she has received Plan benefits to which the person is entitled
or believes that fiduciaries of the Plan have breached their duties or that the Plan is not being operated properly or that his or her legal rights have been or are being violated with respect to the Plan, such person (a “Claimant”) must
file a written claim with the Committee or Plan Administrator under the procedures set forth in this Article. The procedures in this Article shall apply to all claims that any person has with respect to the Plan, including claims against fiduciaries
and former fiduciaries, unless the Committee or Plan Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that it does not have the power to grant, in substance, all relief reasonably being sought by the Claimant. If such a claim relates to the
contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date on which the event
that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the benefit or other determination desired by the Claimant. The claim must be accompanied with sufficient supporting documentation for the benefit or other
determination requested by the Claimant. 
  
 (b)
Notification of Decision. The Committee or Plan Administrator shall consider a Claimant’s claim and shall notify the Claimant in writing within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the claim that either: 
  
 (i) the Claimant’s requested determination has been
made, and that the claim for benefits has been allowed in full (or if the claim was not filed for benefits, those steps the Company has taken or will take in connection with the determination); or 
  
 (ii) the Committee or Plan Administrator has reached a
conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: 
  
 (A) specific reason or reasons the claim was denied; 
  
 (B) specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions
upon which the decision was based; 
  
 (C) a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and 
  

 -14- 








 (D) an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth below. 
  
 (c) Review of a Denied Claim. Within sixty
(60) days (180 days for a Disability claim) after receiving a notice from the Committee or Plan Administrator that a claim has been denied in whole or in part, but not thereafter, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized
representative) may file with the Committee or Plan Administrator a written request for a review of the denial of the claim. Thereafter, but not later than thirty (30) days after the request for review is filed, the Claimant (or the
Claimant’s duly authorized representative): 
  
 (i) may upon reasonable request and free of charge, have reasonable access to, and copies of, all pertinent documents, records and other information in the Company’s possession; and 
  
 (ii) will be informed of such other matters as the Committee
or Plan Administrator deems relevant. 
  
 The Committee or Plan
Administrator shall conduct a full and fair review of the claim and the initial adverse benefit determination and notify the Claimant in writing of its decision within sixty (60) days (45 days for a Disability claim) after receipt of
Claimant’s request for a review. In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the notification shall set forth (1) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination, (2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on
which the determination is based, (3) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s
claim for benefits, and (4) a statement describing the voluntary arbitration procedures offered under the Plan and the right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
  
 (d) Elective Arbitration. If a Claimant’s claim described in Section 9(a) is denied
pursuant to Sections 9(b) and 9(c) (an “Arbitrable Dispute”), the Claimant may, in lieu of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, and as the Claimant’s only further recourse, submit the
claim to final and binding arbitration in the city of San Jose, State of California, before an experienced employment arbitrator selected in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 9(d) or Section 9(f), each party shall pay the fees of their respective attorneys, the expenses of their witnesses and any other expenses connected with the arbitration, but all other costs of the
arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator, costs of any record or transcript of the arbitration, administrative fees and other fees and costs shall be paid in equal shares by each party (or, if applicable, each group of parties) to the
arbitration. In any Arbitrable Dispute in which the Claimant prevails, the Company shall reimburse the Claimant’s reasonable attorneys fees and related expenses. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable
Dispute for which an arbitration is elected. The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be fully enforceable and subject to an entry of judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Should any party attempt to resolve an Arbitrable Dispute for
which an arbitration is elected by any method other than arbitration pursuant to this Section, the responding party shall be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses and attorneys fees incurred as a result.

 (e) Legal Action. Prior to a Change in Control, except to enforce an
arbitrator’s award, no actions may be brought by a Claimant in any court with respect to an Arbitrable Dispute that is arbitrated. 
  
 (f) Following a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, an independent party selected jointly by the
Participants in the Plan prior to the Change in the Control and the Committee or the Plan Administrator or other appropriate person shall assume all duties and responsibilities of the Committee or Plan Administrator under this Article 9 and actions
may be brought by a Claimant in any appropriate court with respect to an Arbitrable Dispute that is arbitrated. After a Change in Control, if any person or entity has failed to comply (or is threatening not to comply) with any of its obligations
under the Plan, or takes or threatens to take any action to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided thereunder, the Company shall reimburse the Participant for reasonable attorneys fees and related
costs incurred in the pursuance or defense of the Participant’s rights. If the Participant does not prevail, attorneys fees shall also be payable under the preceding sentence to the extent the Participant had reasonable justification for
pursuing its claim, but only to the extent that the scope of such representation was reasonable.
