(d) Any employee contributions which have been contributed to a Participant’s account under a qualified defined contribution
plan of a Participating Employer which has been merged with this Plan, are credited to the Participant as Pre-Tax and After-Tax Savings Accounts, as applicable, as determined by the Plan Administrator, and thereafter be treated like Pre-Tax and

Appendices, the maximum percentage of Pre-Tax Savings for said Highly Compensated Employees may be reduced, for any particular Month to the extent deemed necessary by the Benefits Management Committee or its designee. The said Participants’
previously elected percentage of After-Tax Savings will not be affected in any manner by a reduction of the maximum percentage of Pre-Tax Savings in accordance with the foregoing.

eligible retirement plan described in Sections 402(c)(4) and 401(a)(31) of the Code, as provided in Section 7. 
 (b)
Direct Rollovers.

specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. 
 (ii) Definitions: 

(1) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution means any distribution to an employee of all or any portion of the
balance to the credit of the employee in the Plan, and as otherwise described in this subsection (1). 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’s designated Beneficiary; or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to
the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and any amount distributed on account of hardship. 
 (2) Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code; a qualified trust
described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution; an annuity plan or contract described in Sections 403(a) and 403(b) of the Code; or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the

a distribution to a surviving spouse of a Participant or the spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the
Code. With respect to an eligible rollover distribution to a Participant’s nonspouse Beneficiary, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code established for the
purpose of receiving such distribution, and identifying the deceased Participant and Beneficiary. 
 (3) Distributee: A
distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified
domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. Effective January 1, 2008, a distributee includes the employee’s or former
employee’s nonspouse Beneficiary, provided the transfer of the eligible rollover distribution is made as described in paragraph (4) below. 
 (4) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 
 SECTION 12. PAYMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
 (a)
Subject to the following provisions of this Section, payment to a Participant or Beneficiary of the Current Market Value of all Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income
Contributions in the Participant’s account from any Investment Fund, other than the Alcoa Stock Fund, upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is made in cash. All amounts held in the Alcoa Stock Fund at the time of the
Participant’s termination of Continuous Service are paid in cash or Company Stock. Such payment will be made in accordance with the following rules: 
 (i) If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances (not including Rollover Contributions) in all qualified defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and
Affiliates (i) is greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000, the distribution will be paid in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Benefits Management Committee unless the Participant, or Beneficiary if
applicable, elects to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant or Beneficiary in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in cash. 

(ii) If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances in all defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the
Subsidiaries and Affiliates exceeds $5,000, the distribution is made upon the consent of the Participant, or surviving spouse if applicable, and if no consent is given and no claim for benefits has been made, such distribution is made in total upon
his or her attainment of age 70. Prior to the distribution of the total Current Market Value of the Participant’s total account balance, the Participant, or the Beneficiary in the

case of a Participant who dies with an account balance in the Plan, may request four partial distributions (subject to a $250.00 minimum) during each Plan Year in which the account balance is
maintained in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a claim for benefits is made, a distribution is made no later than the 60th day after the latest of the last day of the Plan Year in which occurs: (1) the date on which
the Participant attains the earlier of age 65, (2) occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan, or (3) the Participant terminates his or her service with the Participating Employer.

 (iii) If a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such distribution may commence
less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that: 
 a. the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a
distribution (and, if applicable a particular distribution option), and 
 b. the Participant, after receiving
the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 
 (iv) If the Participant dies with an account balance in the Plan, the entire
interest of the Participant will be distributed not later than 5 years after the death of the Participant. 
 (b) Upon
any distribution of Company Stock from the Alcoa Stock Fund, the Trustee delivers to the recipient a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Company Stock being distributed and cash equal to the Current Market Value on the Effective
Date of distribution of any fractional interest in a share being distributed. With respect to any shares of Company Stock which are to be sold for the account of the recipient, the Trustee may, at its option (1) purchase such shares for Plan
purposes at the Current Market Value on the Effective Date of distribution, or (2) sell such shares on the open market for the account of the recipient. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, distribution of a Participant’s account
balances commences the April 1 next following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70- 1/2 years after January 1, 1988 and in
accordance with Section 13(b). 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is reemployed by a
Participating Employer, then distribution of his or her account balances other than minimum required distributions under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, if any, payable to him or her during the period of his or her reemployment is suspended

qualified defined contribution plan is merged with this Plan or this Plan is the surviving plan with respect to any assets of Participants of a merging plan which are transferred to this Plan, any distribution options contained in the merging plan
which are not contained in this Plan may be continued to be distribution options available to the said Participant of the merging plan for distribution of his or her account, in accordance with Section 411(d)(6) of the Code. 

SECTION 13. GENERAL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO WITHDRAWALS 
 (a) Effective Date of Withdrawal. The Effective Date of any withdrawal from the Plan is the Business Day such request for withdrawal is Properly Received by the Plan Administrator or its

violating Treasury regulations, if any, over the life of the Participant or over the lives of the Participant and a Beneficiary, or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant and a Beneficiary. 

(ii) If distribution of the Participant’s interest in the Plan has begun in accordance with paragraph (i)(2) and the Participant dies
before his or her entire interest is distributed, the Participant’s remaining interest in the Plan will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution stated under paragraph (i)(2) above being used on the date of the
Participant’s death. If the Participant dies before the distribution of his or her interest in the Plan has begun in accordance with paragraph (i)(2), the entire interest of the Participant will be distributed not later than five years after

 For purposes of this paragraph (b), the “required distribution
date” means the date prescribed by Treasury Regulations, as amended from time to time, which effective January 1, 1988, is April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70- 1/2. 

For the purposes of this paragraph (b), any amount paid to a minor child is treated as if it had been paid to the surviving spouse if
such amount will become payable to the surviving spouse upon such child reaching majority or any other designated event as may be permitted by Treasury Regulations, if any.

 SECTION 14. NONASSIGNABILITY 
 Except as required under ERISA, no right or interest, of any Participant or Beneficiary in the Plan or in such Participant’s accounts is (a) assignable or transferable or subject to any lien in
whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, alienation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy or in any other manner, other than a transfer as a result of
death or mental incompetence, or (b) liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Participant or Beneficiary. Such portions of the Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted
Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions in the account of a Participant as are payable to another in accordance with the provisions of a “qualified domestic relations order,” as defined in
Section 414(p) of the Code and any applicable regulations thereunder, are distributed to the party designated in and in accordance with said order. The Effective Date of withdrawal for any such distribution is the first Business Day following
the Plan Administrator’s determination that the said order is in compliance with Section 414(p) of the Code and any applicable regulations thereunder and such distribution is made as soon as administratively practical thereafter. The Plan
Administrator or Designee has promulgated procedures to determine whether a domestic relations order is a qualified domestic relations order. The procedures will be provided to a participant or alternate payee upon written request, or upon receipt
of the domestic relations order by the Plan Administrator or Designee. 
 SECTION 15. EXTENT OF PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS 

(a) General. No person has any interest in or right to any part of the assets held under the Plan or the income thereon,
except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan. 
 At the time of withdrawal by a Participant or Beneficiary he or
she will receive shares or cash. There is no guarantee that the Current Market Value of any investment will be equal to or greater than the amount of the Participant’s Savings therein. This Plan is designed to comply with and operate under
Section 404(c) of ERISA. A Participant and his or her Beneficiaries assume all risk in connection with any decrease in the value of any investments allocated to such Participant’s account. For purposes of Section 404(c)(1) of ERISA,
in the absence of Participant or Beneficiary investment direction, a Participant or Beneficiary shall be treated as having exercised control over the assets invested in any investment which qualifies as a QDIA in accordance with
Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 The Plan does not and should not be construed as
conferring any rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor does it interfere with the rights of Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any person or to take any personnel action affecting such person
without regard to the effect which such action might have upon such person or his or her Beneficiaries as a prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan. 
 (b) 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 Internal Revenue Code.

 SECTION 16. MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS 

(a) General. Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary
Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions paid to the Trustee are invested as provided in the Plan. 
 (b)
Trustees and Investment Managers. The Board or its designee has the responsibility to appoint, review the performance of, and remove where deemed appropriate, one or more Trustees, and one or more investment managers each of which is a
bank, insurance company or other investment adviser qualified under Section 3(38) of ERISA. The duties of each Trustee and manager, to the extent not set forth in the Plan, are set forth in a trust agreement or other written documents approved
by the Board or its designee. Except as otherwise provided in such documents or in the Plan, each such investment manager has sole investment control and management responsibility with respect to those assets of the Plan for which it is designated
the investment manager. The Board may delegate its authority to appoint an investment manager, to remove an investment manager, to approve and direct the execution by the proper officer or officers of AGF of amendments to agreements with any
investment manager and to review the performance of any such managers. Such delegation also includes the authority to approve written documents setting forth the duties of any manager and to direct the execution of investment management agreements
by the proper officer or officers of AGF. No Trustee has any investment responsibility for any assets which are subject to the investment control of another investment manager and as to such assets it only has custodial duties if it is the
custodian. 
 (c) Designation of Investment Strategy. The Board may from time to time designate, as to part or all
of the assets of the Plan, that a separate fund or funds be established. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as to each such separate fund the Board or its designee may specify the investment strategy to be employed and the investment manager
is thereupon relieved of responsibility for assuring that the specified investment strategy creates suitable diversification of the overall assets of the Plan, provided that such investment manager has followed such specifications. 

(d) (1) Acquisition of Fixed Income Investments by the Trustee. The Trustee will enter into investment arrangements
with insurance companies, banks or money managers, as directed by an investment manager duly appointed by the Board or its designee for the Fixed Income Fund. The Trustee will invest all Savings and other amounts to be invested in the Fixed Income
Fund in accordance with such directions. 
 (2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’
investments in the Fixed Income Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Fixed Income Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be
invested therein. Such allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or
withdrawal.

 Effective January 1, 2011 
 22 







 (e) (1) Acquisition of Company Stock by Trustee. The Savings,
Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions to be invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund are used by the Trustee to purchase from time to time
shares of Company Stock (i) from Alcoa, at the Current Market Value thereof, or (ii) to the extent Alcoa does make shares available for purchase by the Trustee for such purpose, on the open market, unless Alcoa otherwise directs, or
(iii) by the exercise of warrants or rights as provided in this Section. The Trustee, to the extent reasonable, invests any cash held in the fund in cash equivalents (including commercial paper). The Trustee also holds for the purpose of
allocation to the accounts of individual Participants as hereinafter provided (i) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired upon withdrawal by a Participant, (ii) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired pursuant to
Participants’ elections to transfer investments under the provisions of Section 9, and (iii) shares of such stock forfeited under the provisions of Section 11. All shares of such stock purchased by the Trustee are carried in the
accounts of the Trustee at the actual cost thereof, including any taxes, commissions, etc. which are not paid by the Participating Employer, incident to the purchase except that shares acquired upon the exercise of warrants or rights are carried at
the Current Market Value of such shares on the date of such exercise. Shares of such stock forfeited under the provisions of Section 11 are deemed to have been purchased by the Trustee on the Effective Date of the withdrawal which resulted in
such forfeiture, at the Current Market Value on such date. 
 (2) Allocation of Stock to Participants’
Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Alcoa Stock Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Alcoa Stock Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such
Participants’ accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations are made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective
Date of the transfer or withdrawal. 
 (3) Allocation of Dividends to Participants’ Accounts. In valuing the
units, dividends are accounted for on the date the Board declares the dividend. Once received, dividends are invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund. A Participant may elect to receive an annual distribution of the dividends posted to their account during
the Plan Year. Such election must be made prior to the last dividend record date in the Plan Year, and distribution will be made as soon as administratively practical following the date the final dividends are posted to the Participant’s
account. Distribution will be paid in a lump sum from the Alcoa Stock Fund. To the extent the Participant’s account balance in the Alcoa Stock Fund is insufficient to pay the dividends, the balance of the distribution will be paid pro-rata from
the Participant’s other Core Fund investments.

 (4) Warrants & Purchase Rights. A Participant has no right of
request, direction or demand upon the Trustee to exercise in his or her behalf warrants or rights to purchase shares of common stock or other securities of Alcoa, except as otherwise determined by the Board. The Trustee, in its discretion, may
exercise or sell any warrants or rights to purchase shares of Company Stock appertaining to shares of such stock held by the Trustee and may sell any warrants or rights to purchase other securities of Alcoa appertaining to shares of such stock held
by the Trustee. 
 (5) Stock Splits & Dividends. Shares of Company Stock received by the Trustee by
reason of a stock split or stock dividend become part of the Alcoa Stock Fund. 
 (6) Voting. The Trustee
exercises its voting rights in accordance with written directions of each Participant with respect to at least the number of whole shares of Company Stock held by it in the Participants’ accounts on the record date for voting, other than shares
of Company Stock held by it in the Participants’ accounts which have been forfeited or become forfeitable (without removal of the forfeiture conditions) pursuant to Section 11 prior to such record date for voting. With respect to all other
shares of Company Stock held by the Trustee on the record date for voting (the “Other Shares”), including but not limited to, (i) fractional shares in the Participants’ accounts (if they are not subject to direct voting),
(ii) shares for which it has not received written directions from any Participant, (iii) any shares which have not yet been allocated to Participants’ accounts and (iv) any shares held by it in Participants’ accounts which
have been forfeited or became forfeitable (without removal of the forfeiture condition) pursuant to Section 11 prior to such record date for voting, the Trustee exercises its voting rights in the same proportion (for, against, abstain and so
on) on each matter as it exercises its voting rights with respect to shares of Company Stock for which voting directions were received from all participants in all plans which participate in the Alcoa Stock Fund. 

(f) (1) Acquisition of Other Investments by Trustee. Alcoa has and in the future will enter into investment
arrangements with various investment managers. Any such arrangements must be approved by the Benefits Management Committee. Expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by the investment manager are paid from the
applicable Investment Fund. 
 (2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’ investments in
the Core Funds are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in each of the Core Funds as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be invested therein. Such
allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal. 

(g) Transition Provision. Pending investment under an arrangement established pursuant to this Section and pending
distribution to Participants following withdrawal from such an arrangement, cash is invested by the Trustee in short-term fixed income securities or cash equivalents (including commercial paper) and the value of such securities or cash equivalents
is allocated to the accounts of Participants in an equitable manner determined by the Benefits Management Committee.

 (h) Brokerage Account. Participant’s have the right to invest and
personally manage investments outside of the Core Funds by investing through the Brokerage Account offered by a broker selected by the Plan (“Broker”). Investment options through the Brokerage Account are mutual funds (other than those
already available as Core Funds), any taxable equity or fixed income security publicly traded in a U.S. security market (including American Depository Receipts), and money market funds. Pre-Tax Savings, After-Tax Savings, Rollover Contributions,
Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions that are subject to transfer as provided in Section 9, may not be directly invested in the
Brokerage Account, nor may withdrawals, distributions or loans be made directly from the Brokerage Account. Such transactions must be processed through the Core Funds. 
 (1) Restrictions of Trading in the Brokerage Account. Certain restrictions apply to investment vehicles that may be available through the Brokerage Account. Specifically, the following
investments are not available through the Brokerage Account: Alcoa company stock (common or preferred) and bonds; funds currently available in the Core Funds; tax-free funds; securities of publicly traded limited partnerships; options contracts;
purchase on short sales, futures, precious metals, and currencies; real estate (other than funds); annuities; life insurance policies; collectibles; commodities; foreign stocks (not American Depository Receipt); and margin trading and trade-away
trades that are placed by another broker and settle with the Broker. 
 (2) Trading within the Brokerage Account.
Investment purchases in the Brokerage Account may be made after such amounts are transferred from the Participant’s Core Fund accounts. Transfers from Core Funds may be made as provided in Section 9. Transferred funds will be held in
the Broker’s money market fund until the Participant’s buy orders are received by the Broker. Trades may be subject to initial and subsequent investment minimums required by a mutual fund. 

Transfers are made out of the Brokerage Account and into the Core Funds from the Schwab Money Market Fund. If there are insufficient
funds to make the requested transfer, the participant must submit a sell order with Schwab. The proceeds of securities sold will be invested automatically in the Broker’s money market fund and will be subsequently transferred out of the
Brokerage Account to the Core Funds as directed by the Participant. 
 (3) Expenses Incurred by Trading and
Voting. The Broker’s standard commission schedule will be deducted from the Brokerage Account of the Participant who initiates the trades, and any other fees and expenses incurred through the Brokerage Account will be paid directly by
the Participant.

 The Broker will execute proxies for any securities held in the Brokerage Account accounts in
accordance with written directions of any Participant.

 SECTION 18. TRUST 
 All assets of the Plan are held in trust for the Plan, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Alcoa has entered into a trust agreement with a national banking association which acts as Trustee
under the Plan. The Alcoa Board of Directors or its designee may, from time to time, amend such trust agreement (subject to its terms), remove such Trustee or any Successor Trustee and upon removal or resignation of a Trustee, appoint a Successor
Trustee. 
 SECTION 19. ADMINISTRATION 
 (a) Duties of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator or its Designee are responsible for the preparation and the filing with governmental agencies or the furnishing to Participants and
Beneficiaries, of all summaries, descriptions, annual and other reports, notices and other documents and information which are required to be so prepared and filed or furnished under ERISA or the Code, retain appropriate records and also have all of
the other responsibilities and duties of the administrator of the Plan as set forth in ERISA, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Each Participating Employer by whom a Participant is employed furnishes to the Plan Administrator or its Designee
any records required for the foregoing.

Section 16 and in paragraph (a) of this Section, the complete authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan is placed in the Benefits Management Committee, which consists of one or more persons appointed from
time to time by the Board. 
 (c) Duties of Benefits Management Committee. Subject to the limitations of the Plan,
the Benefits Management Committee has the discretionary authority to: (1) construe and interpret the Plan, (2) interpret administrative forms and other information, (3) make credibility findings, and (4) establish supplemental
regulations for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its business. All actions, determinations and interpretations of the Benefits Management Committee will be performed in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all Participants
in similar circumstances. All interpretations of the Plan and determinations of disputed questions made by the Benefits Management Committee are conclusive, final and binding upon the Participating Employers, Participants, Beneficiaries, other
employees and any other individuals claiming rights under the Plan, subject to a claimant’s request under paragraph

 27 







 
(e) of this Section to have the Benefits Management Committee review the denial of a claim. When making an interpretation or determination, the Benefits Management Committee is entitled to rely
upon information furnished by the individual, Participant, Beneficiary or Participating Employer, unless in accordance with an appeals procedure established by the Benefits Management Committee the claimant establishes to the satisfaction of the
Benefits Management Committee that Continuous Service, compensation or other records are erroneous. 
 (d) Application for
Benefits. Each person applying for a benefit under the Plan must furnish all information required under procedures approved by the Benefits Management Committee. 
 (e) Review of Denial of Benefits. If any applicant’s claim for benefits under the Plan is denied, the applicant will be notified in writing of such denial. Such notice will set forth
the specific reasons for such denial and will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant. The applicant will be afforded a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review by the Benefits Management Committee or its
Designee of the decision denying his or her claim for benefits, in accordance with a claims procedure which the Benefits Management Committee adopts. 
 (f) Extent of Benefits Management Committee’s Responsibility. The members of the Benefits Management Committee will act in a prudent manner in the performance of their duties. No member
will be personally liable by virtue of any contract, agreement, bond or other instrument made or executed by or on behalf of such member as a member of the Benefits Management Committee. To the extent permitted by ERISA, no member of the Benefits
Management Committee will be liable for any mistake of judgment made by himself or herself or any other member, nor for any loss, unless resulting from his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and no member will be liable for the
neglect, omissions or wrongdoing of any other member thereof, or of the agents or counsel of the Benefits Management Committee. To the extent permitted by law, AGF will indemnify and save harmless each member of the Benefits Management Committee
against all expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her services as such, except for expenses and liabilities arising from such member’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the Board. 

(g) Relationship to Other Fiduciaries. Each fiduciary in carrying out its responsibilities under the Plan may rely upon any
direction, information or action of another fiduciary as being proper under this Plan or the documents under which the assets of the Plan are managed, and is not required to inquire into the propriety of any such direction, information or action. It
is intended under this Plan and such documents that each fiduciary is responsible for the proper exercise of its own powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Plan and such documents and is not responsible for any act or failure to
act of another fiduciary, except as otherwise provided by ERISA. 
 (h) Multiple Fiduciaries. Any person or group
of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan.

 (i) Further Allocation of Fiduciary Duties. Any two or more fiduciaries named
herein or appointed by the Board as provided herein may from time to time agree in writing with respect to the allocation of duties and responsibilities under the Plan, including fiduciary responsibilities, among the fiduciaries so agreeing,
provided however that any reallocation of fiduciary responsibilities clearly allocated by the Plan or by the Board requires prior approval of the Board. 
 (j) Delegation of Fiduciary Duties. Any fiduciary named herein or appointed by the Board as provided herein may designate another person or persons to carry out any or all of the duties and
fiduciary responsibilities which it has under the Plan and which are specified in such designation except that no Trustee may delegate fiduciary responsibilities with respect to investment functions without the prior approval of the Board.

 (k) Delegation of Ministerial Duties. Any fiduciary named herein, appointed by the Board as provided herein or
designated under paragraph (j) above may delegate ministerial duties as follows: employ one or more persons to render advice, including legal and accounting services, with regard to any responsibility such fiduciary has under the Plan; may
appoint ministerial agents (including brokers or others who may execute investment transactions); and may delegate to others its clerical and other non-fiduciary functions. 
 (l) No Added Remuneration for Employees. No member of the Benefits Management Committee and no other person who renders services to or for the Plan may receive remuneration for services as
such if he or she also is an employee of AGF, Alcoa, a Subsidiary or Affiliate. 
 SECTION 20. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR
TERMINATION 
 (a) Rights Reserved. AGF reserves the right, by action of the Board or the Benefits Management
Committee, taken in accordance with the Board’s or Benefits Management Committee’s operating procedures, (1) to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan or to suspend or completely discontinue contributions to the Plan, and
(2) to terminate the Participation in the Plan of any Participating Employer or any designated group of Eligible Employees employed either within or outside the U.S. Any Participating Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan or
suspend or discontinue its contributions under the Plan at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the Plan Administrator. Such 30 day notice requirement may be waived by the Benefits Management Committee. No such amendment or other action
relating to the Plan may reduce the amounts then credited to any Participant’s account, or provide or have the effect of providing that the securities and funds held in trust for the Plan or the income thereof may be used for or devoted to
purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries and for the payment of expenses of the Plan. 

(b) Sale of Assets, etc. In the event any assets of any business of any Participating Employer are transferred to another
entity by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, and the 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan

entity to which said assets are transferred has in effect, or thereupon establishes, a tax-qualified plan and related trust for the exclusive benefit of employees which qualify under the
applicable provisions of the Code, all assets under the Plan, held in the accounts of Participants who continue in the employment of the transferee entity, may be transferred and paid, for their respective accounts, to the trust for the
tax-qualified plan of said transferee entity, provided that any such transfer of investments will be effected in such manner as to preclude, for federal income tax purposes, a termination of the Plan or the constructive receipt of benefits
thereunder with respect to said Participants. 
 (c) Transfer of Plan Assets. 

(1) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or a transfer of any of the assets and
liabilities of the Plan to any other plan, each affected Participant must (as if such plan were terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer) be entitled to a benefit under such other plan which is equal to or greater than the
benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive under the Plan immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer (as if the Plan had then terminated). In the event that assets are transferred to this Plan from any other plan
sponsored by Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, each Participant who has assets transferred from such plan or plans will be entitled to a benefit under this Plan which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she had under such other plan.
Any protected optional form of benefits provided under said plan may be maintained under this Plan. These provisions do not constitute a guaranty against investment losses. 
 (2) In the event a participant in a plan named below (“Alcoa Retirement Savings Plans”), becomes an Eligible Employee under this Plan, all of the participant’s accounts in the applicable
Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan will be transferred to analogous accounts in this Plan as soon as reasonably practical after the Plan Administrator or Designee receives notice.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan, including the expenses of the
Benefits Management Committee, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the fees and charges payable under the investment arrangements, and other legal and administrative expenses, are paid by the Plan. 

Investments in the Core Funds will be subject to an administrative expense fee, which will be used to pay the expenses of the Plan.

 (a) Designation of Beneficiary. Subject to such administrative regulations as may be adopted from time to time, the Beneficiary with respect to all of the assets in the accounts of a
Participant will be Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate. With the written notarized consent of a Participant’s spouse, a Participant may file with the Plan Administrator or its Designee a written
designation of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries other than his or her spouse. In the event the designation of such other Beneficiary is revoked in writing by the Participant, his or her spouse will become the Beneficiary of said assets until such time
as the Participant, with his or her spouse’s written notarized consent, designates in writing another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. 
 In the event a Participant certifies that he or she does not have a spouse, a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries with respect to all or part of the assets in the accounts of the Participant may be designated or
revoked by the sole action of the Participant. 
 If there is no designated Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary is living at the
time of the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary is the Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate. 
 Written designations, spousal consents and revocations are made on a form or forms approved by the Plan Administrator. Any such written designation, consent or revocation become effective on the calendar
day on which such designation, consent or revocation is Properly Received. 
 (b) Other Payments. In case of
incapacity of a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a benefit under the Plan, benefit payment are made to such person’s legal representative who makes claim therefore, or if no such claim has been received, to such other person or persons as
the Benefits Management Committee, utilizing objective criteria, selects from among dependents, next of kin or friends. Any payment of a benefit under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of this Section is a complete discharge of any
liability for the payment of such benefit under the Plan.

discrimination tests of Sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code for that year, as applied separately to each Plan; 
 (c)

 Commercial Windows Employees

 3. Such modification or revocation described in 2. above is made only if necessary under one of the
following circumstances: 
 (a) to ensure that the discrimination tests of Section 401(k) of the Code governing
permissible levels of Pre-Tax Savings contributions for both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan are met for such Plan Year, or to ensure that one of the following Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests are met for both the ESOP and

percent, of the sum of Participating Employer Contributions (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) and any After-Tax Savings on behalf of an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year to
the Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year, whether or not the employee was 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 34 







 
a Participant for the entire Plan Year. For these purposes, an Eligible Employee’s Contribution Percentage for any Plan Year is calculated by excluding any forfeitures of Excess Aggregate
Contributions allocated to the Eligible Employee’s account for the Plan Year. 
 (e) “Compensation” means
the total amount of compensation (within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, and subject to the limitation of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code) received by an employee from the Employer while an Eligible Employee under the Plan

the employee that are not currently includible in the gross income of the employee under Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(a)(8), 402(h) or 403(b) of the Code, provided that AGF has elected to treat all such elective contributions as compensation with
respect to all employees under all plans of the Participating Employer.

of the Code, effective January 1, 1997, the family aggregation rules under this Appendix no longer apply.

Plan Year, regardless of whether any contributions are made to the Plan on behalf of the employee for the Plan Year.

made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under paragraph 5 of this Appendix. 
 (h) “Excess Aggregate Contributions” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of Participating Employer Contributions and any After-Tax Savings actually
made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under paragraph 9 of this Appendix. 
 (i) “Employer” means AGF and all other entities as required to be covered under Section 414(c) of the Code. 
 (j) “Family Member” means, with respect to any Eligible Employee, an individual described in Section 414(q)(6)(B) of the Code.

 (ii) A Highly Compensated
Former Employee means: 
 (1) any employee who was a Highly Compensated Employee when the employee separated from
service, or 
 (2) any employee who was a Highly Compensated Employee at any time after attaining the age 55.

 (l) “Non-Highly Compensated Employee” means, for any Plan Year, an employee who is not a Highly Compensated
Employee. 
 (m) “Qualified Matching Contributions” means any Participating Employer Contributions to this Plan
on behalf of Eligible Employees, provided that amounts attributable to such contributions are not distributable merely on account of the Employee’s hardship and are immediately vested. 
 5. Average Actual Deferral Percentage Test. For each Plan Year, the Plan must satisfy one of the following Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests with respect to Pre-Tax Savings, and Qualified
Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix, made to both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan for the Plan Year: 
 (a) the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the
group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or 
 (b) the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 36 







 (c) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage Test for all contributions to the ESOP
portion of the Plan will be computed separately under this Section. 
 Effective on or after January 1, 2011, for
Plan Years in which the Plan is operated in accordance with the safe harbor requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code, Section 5 of this Appendix A does not apply. 
 6. Special Rules. 
 (a) Aggregation of Family Members. Effective
January 1, 1997, aggregation of Family Members for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage will no longer apply. 
 (b) Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a)(4), 401(k) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one
or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions stated herein will be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Employees as if all such plans
(excluding other ESOPs) were a single plan. For plan years beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code. 

(c) Effective as of January 1, 2002, in the event the Plan does not pass the ADP test, the test will be disaggregated by
removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year. 
 (d) Effective with plan years after January 1, 2006, all ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ADP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan. 

7. Treatment of Qualified Matching Contributions. If any Qualified Matching Contributions are made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan
Year, AGF may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(k) of the Code, to treat all or a portion of such Qualified Matching Contributions as Pre-Tax Savings for purposes of calculating the Actual
Deferral Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Qualified Matching Contributions for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year. 

8. Correction of Excess Contributions. 
 (a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Contributions for the
Plan Year will be corrected if the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year are timely recharacterized as employee After-Tax Savings contributions in accordance with subsection (c) below or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in
accordance with subsection (d) below.

 (b) Allocation of Excess Contributions. Effective for Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 1996, in the event the nondiscrimination requirements of paragraph 5 of this Appendix are not satisfied for a Plan Year, the “deferral percentage leveling method” described in the preceding paragraph is performed as a
first step in order to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Contribution to be distributed: a calculation is made to determine the dollar amount of Elective Deferrals necessary to reduce the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest deferral percentage to be equal to the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest deferral percentage, and where necessary, calculations are made to determine the dollar amounts of
reductions of the deferral percentage of subsequent Highly Compensated Employees that may be required in order to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements in paragraph 5 of this Appendix. The total dollar amount of Excess Contribution that must be
distributed for the Plan Year is the sum of the dollar amounts so calculated for each Highly Compensated Employee whose deferral percentage is so reduced. 
 Distribution of the total amount of Excess Contribution determined in the paragraph above is made using the “dollar leveling method.” Excess Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with
the largest dollar amount of contributions for the Plan Year shall be distributed to the extent necessary to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s dollar amount of Excess Contributions to equal the dollar amount of Excess Contributions of
the Highest Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Excess Contributions for the Plan Year. If the total amount distributed is less than the amount of total Excess Contribution, then both Highly Compensated Employees’
amounts are reduced to the same dollar level of the Highly Compensated Employee electing the third highest dollar amount and the dollar leveling process is repeated until the total dollar amount that should be reduced as calculated in the above
paragraph is distributed. However, if reduction of a lesser amount of contributions would equal the total dollar amount of Excess Contributions that must be distributed for the Plan Year, the lesser amount is distributed. 

A participant who has had his contributions reduced in accordance with this subparagraph shall have the amount of such reduction paid to
him in cash as soon as practicable, subject to applicable payroll taxes. The amount of the Excess Contributions to be distributed shall be reduced by excess deferrals under 402(g) previously distributed for the Plan Year. The distributions of Excess
Contributions shall include the income allocable thereto, including both the income allocable for the Plan Year for which the Contributions were made and the income for the period between the end of that Plan Year and the date as of which the
distribution is made. Effective January 1, 2008, the distribution of Excess Contributions shall include the income or loss allocable only for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and will not include the income or loss for the period
between the end of the Plan Year and the date distribution is made. In addition, any Company Matching Contributions associated with the Excess Contribution shall be treated as forfeiture and used to reduce the Employer’s contribution under
Section 3 of the Plan.

 (c) Recharacterization of Excess Contributions. Any
recharacterization of Excess Contributions as employee After-Tax Savings will be accomplished by the Plan Administrator in the manner provided in subsection (b) above within 2 1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year, providing such notices and
following such procedures as required by regulations of the Secretary of Treasury, and will be deemed to occur no earlier than the date on which the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount of his or her recharacterized
Excess Contributions and the consequences thereof. Any Excess Contributions that are recharacterized as employee after-tax contributions for a Plan Year will, in combination with other Participating Employer Contributions to the Plan for the Plan
Year, satisfy the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year. Any recharacterized Excess Contributions remain nonforfeitable under the Plan and are subject to the same distribution requirements as Pre-Tax
Savings. Recharacterized Excess Contributions are taxable to the Highly Compensated Employee for the year in which the Highly Compensated Employee could have originally elected to receive the Excess Contributions amount in cash. 

(d) Distribution of Excess Contributions. If any Excess Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year
are not corrected by recharacterization under (c) above, then such Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, will be distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of
the Plan Year. 
 (e) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess
Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the
Excess Contributions, calculated as follows: 
 The income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions is
determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax
Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to
the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix as of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for
the Plan Year. 
 The income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above will include
only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and not the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Contributions.

for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 39 







 (f) Coordination with Excess Pre-Tax Savings. The amount of any Excess Contributions
to be recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is reduced by any excess Pre-Tax Savings previously distributed to the Highly
Compensated Employee for the employee’s taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year. 
 (g) Accounting for Excess
Contributions. The amount of Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year that is recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above is attributed first to the
Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year and then, to the extent such Excess Contributions exceed the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year, attributed to amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 4 of this
Appendix in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year. 
 9. Average Contribution
Percentage Tests. For each Plan Year for which Participating Employer Contributions are made to the Plan (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) or any
After-Tax Savings are made to the Plan (including any Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 8(c) of this Appendix), both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan will satisfy one of the
following Average Contribution Percentage tests for the Plan Year: 
 (a) the Average Contribution Percentage for the
group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25;
or 
 (b) the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees
for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for the group
of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

 (c) the Average Contribution Percentage Test applies separately to the ESOP portion of the Plan. 

10. Special Rules. 

(a) Aggregation of Family Members. Effective January 1, 1997, aggregation of Family Members for purposes of determining the
Contribution Percentage will no longer apply. 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 40 







 (b) Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of
Section 401(a)(4), 401(m) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions stated
herein will be applied by determining the Contribution Percentages of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. For plan years beginning after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only
if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code. 

(c) Effective as of January 1, 2002, in the event the Plan does not pass the ACP test, the test will be disaggregated by
removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year. 
 (d) Effective with plan years after January 1, 2006, all ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ACP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan. 

11. Treatment of Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions. 

AGF may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(m) of the Code, to treat all or a
portion of the Pre-Tax Savings made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of calculating the Contribution Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Pre-Tax Savings
for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the preceding, AGF may elect to treat Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of
calculating Contribution Percentages only if one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix is satisfied before the Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contribution for the Plan Year, and one of
the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix continues to be satisfied for the Plan Year excluding the Pre-Tax Savings treated as Participating Employer Contributions for the Plan Year. 

12. Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions. 
 (a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentages tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Aggregate Contributions for
the Plan Year will be corrected by the Employer if the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year are forfeited or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with subsection (c) below. 

(b) Allocation of Excess Aggregate Contributions. Effective as of January 1, 1997, in the event Excess Aggregate
Contributions are made to the Plan for a Plan Year, the Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of deferrals for the Plan Year will be reduced to minimum extent necessary either: 

(i) to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the
Plan Year; or 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 41 







 (ii) to cause the Highly Compensated employee’s Contribution Percentage
to equal the next highest Contribution Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year. 
 This process is repeated until the
Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year is sufficiently reduced to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this
Appendix for the Plan Year. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions to be allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year is equal the total After-Tax Savings and Participating Employer Contributions, including Pre-Tax Savings
on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee’s reduced Contribution Percentage (as determined above) by the employee’s Compensation for the Plan
Year. Excess Aggregate Contributions of employees who are subject to the family aggregation rules of Section 414(q)(6) of the Code are allocated among the family members in proportion to the Pre-Tax Savings and Matching Contributions (or
amounts treated as Matching Contributions) of each family member that is combined to determine the combined Average Contribution Percentage. 
 (c) Forfeiture or Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income or minus any loss allocable thereto, must be forfeited to the extent attributable
under subsection (f) below to Participating Employer Contributions that are not vested, and otherwise distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of the Plan Year. 

(d) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess Aggregate Contributions
referred to in subsection (c) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the Excess
Aggregate Contributions, calculated as follows: 
 (i) the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the
Excess Aggregate Contributions is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s Participating
Employer Contributions, and amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to the Participant for
the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to the Participant’s Participating Employer Contributions and amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix as
of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for the Plan Year; 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 42 







 (ii) the income or loss allocable to the period (if any) between the end of
the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions by the Plan is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss allocated to the Participant’s Participating Employer
Contributions and amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for such period by a fraction determined under the method described in (i) above. In the alternative, the income or loss allocable to
the period between the end of the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions equals 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Excess Aggregate Contributions for the
Plan Year (as determined under (i) above multiplied by the number of calendar months that elapse between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution. For these purposes, a distribution occurring on or before the fifteenth day of a
calendar month is treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding calendar month, and a distribution occurring after the fifteenth date of a calendar month is treated as having been made on the first day of the following calendar month.

 The income or loss will include only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions, and not the income
or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. 
 (e)
Coordination with Excess Contributions. The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year is made after the determination of the amount of any Excess Contributions for the Plan Year. 

(f) Accounting for Excess Aggregate Contributions. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated
Employee for a Plan Year is attributed to Participating Employer Contributions and any amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year.

 13. Recordkeeping Requirements. 
 (a) Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix
for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Qualified Matching Contributions are treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Actual Deferral Percentages,
and the disposition of all Pre-Tax Savings (and any Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary
of Treasury. 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan

 43 







 (b) Average Contribution Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient
to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this
Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Average Contribution Percentages, and the disposition of all Participating Employer Contributions (and any Pre-Tax Savings) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy
such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury. 
 14. Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals. Excess
Elective Deferrals means Pre-Tax Savings that is includible in a Participant’s gross income under Section 402(g) of the Code to the extent it exceeds the dollar limitation. Excess Elective Deferrals are treated as annual additions under
the Plan unless such amounts are distributed no later than the first April 15th following the close of the Participant’s taxable year. Excess Elective Deferrals are adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution as
calculated under paragraph 8(e) and 12(d) of this Appendix. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of Excess Elective Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans
of the Employer. A Participant may assign any Excess Elective Deferrals made by the Participant to any other plans other than those of the Employer by notifying the Plan Administrator on or before January 15th of the following year.

 APPENDIX B 
 CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS 
 The limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code are
hereby incorporated by reference. If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this Plan and the provisions of Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, the discrepancy will be resolved in such a way to give full effect to the
provisions of Code Section 415. 
 The maximum annual additions provided by the Plan will be exactly equal to the maximum amounts permitted
under Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder. In the event a Participant’s annual additions for any Plan Year would exceed the maximum amount of annual additions permitted under Code Section 415, such Participant’s
Savings are automatically reduced, in whole or in part, by the amount required to eliminate such excess. 
 For purposes of applying the
limitations described in this Appendix B, compensation will include any differential pay received by a Participant absent for military leave and any payment earned prior to a Participant’s separation from employment that is paid within a period
ending on the later of i) two and one-half months following the date the Participant separated from employment, or ii) the end of the Plan Year in which the date the Participant separated from employment (“Post-Separation Compensation”).
Post-Separation Compensation will include any payments for vacation, sickness, or leave of absence that otherwise would have been included as compensation had the Participant remained employed.

 APPENDIX C 
 TOP HEAVY RULES 
 (a) This Plan constitutes a “Top Heavy
Plan” for a Plan Year if as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year the present value of the cumulative account balances under the Plan for Participants who are Key Employees exceed 60 percent of the present value of the aggregate of all
account balances for all Participants in the Plan. A non-Key Employee means any Participant or former Participant who is not a Key Employee. 
 (b) This Plan constitutes a Top Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if the employee benefit plans which make up the group of plans of which this Plan is considered a part are such that, when aggregated, the
sum of (1) the present value of the account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in the group, and (2) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the
group exceed 60 percent of the sum of such amounts for all employees who participate in the plans in the said group. 
 (1) The
group of plans in which this Plan is considered a part includes (A) all plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates which enable the particular plans in which a Key Employee participates to meet the qualification requirement of
Section 401(a)(4) of the Code or Section 410 of the Code; and, (B) all plans which Alcoa, in its discretion, decides to include, provided that the inclusion of such plan or plans would not prevent the group of plans from meeting the
qualification requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. The date upon which the account balances are valued for purposes of calculating the top heavy ratio to determine whether or not the Plan is Top Heavy for a particular Plan Year is
the determination date, which is the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day of such plan year. 
 (2) The amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date are 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 one-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence also applies 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 is applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year
period.” 
 (3) The accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the one-year period
ending on the determination date are not taken into account. 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 46 







 (c) The following provisions are applicable to Participants for any Plan Year with
respect to which the Plan is Top Heavy: 
 (1) The minimum Participating Employer Contribution for a Participant who is a
non-Key Employee and has not separated from service at the end of the Plan Year, must not be less than three percent of his or her Eligible Compensation for the Top Heavy Plan Year. If said allocation is less than three percent of his or her
Eligible Compensation, then said allocation is the largest percentage allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year. In the event the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year is less than three percent, Pre-Tax
amounts contributed to the Plan are included in determining contributions made on behalf of Key Employees. Compensation for determining a minimum benefit, a minimum contribution and for all other Top Heavy purposes is the Participant’s W-2
earnings for the calendar year that ends with the Plan Year. 
 Participating Employer Contributions used to satisfy the minimum
contribution requirements are treated as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code. 

(2) With respect to benefits accruing during any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top Heavy, average compensation is limited to amounts not
in excess of the amount permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. If the accrued benefit as of the end of the last Plan Year before the Plan became Top Heavy is greater than the accrued benefit determined by limiting compensation, that
higher accrued benefit cannot be reduced. 
 (3) In the event the Plan is Top Heavy with respect to a Plan Year and ceases to be
Top Heavy for a subsequent Plan Year, the Participant’s account balance in any such subsequent Plan Year is not less than the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings (subject to adjustment for earnings) computed as of the end of the most recent Plan
Year for which the Plan was Top Heavy. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any of the above, if a non-Key Employee participates in
this Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a required aggregation group which is top heavy, a minimum allocation of five percent of Section 415 compensation is provided under this Plan. The Plan will not be deemed Top Heavy if
ninety percent is substituted for sixty percent in (b)(1) of this Appendix and Participating Employer provides additional contributions to the Plan on behalf of non-Key Employees who participate in both defined benefit and defined contribution plans
maintained by a Participating Employer, in amounts at least equal to the amount set forth in Paragraph (c)(1) of this Appendix as modified by substituting “seven and one-half percent” for “three percent.” If the non-Key Employee
does not participate in a defined benefit plan maintained by Alcoa, a Subsidiary or Affiliate, such employee will receive an additional contribution of four percent. 
 (e) For Plan Years in which the Plan meets the safe harbor alternative method of discrimination testing described in Paragraph 16 of Appendix A, the term “Top Heavy Plan” described in
this Appendix C does not apply.

 APPENDIX D 
 MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS 
 Section 1. General Rules

 1.1. Effective Date. The provisions of this Appendix D will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions.

 1.2. Precedence. The requirements of this Appendix D will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

 1.3. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Appendix D will be determined
and made in accordance with section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations §§1.401)(a)(9)-2 through -9, which will override any inconsistent distribution provisions of the Plan. Distribution of any incidental death
benefit requirements provided under the Plan will be a distribution for purposes of this Appendix D. 
 1.4. TEFRA
Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Appendix D, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA. 
 Section 2. Time and
Manner of Distribution. 
 2.1. Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to
be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning date. 
 2.2. Death of Participant
Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year
containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either
the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. This election will apply to all distributions. 
 If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31
of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 48 







 2.3. Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix D. If the
Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of section 40l(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

 Section 3. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 

3.1. Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s age as of the Participant’s
birthday in the distribution calendar year; or 
 (b) if the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary for
the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s 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 Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year. 
 3.2. Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this section 3 beginning with the first distribution
calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death 

Section 4. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death. 

4.1. Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. 
 (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life
expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as follows: 
 (1) The Participant’s
remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  
 Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan
for Fastener Systems and 
 Commercial Windows Employees 
 Effective January 1, 2011 
 49 







 (2) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s
sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s
birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in
the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year. 
 (3) If the
Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the
Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 
 (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution
calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of
death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 
 4.2. Death Before Date Distributions Begin. 

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there
is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the remaining
life expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in section 4.1. 
 (b)
No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the
Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 
 (c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the
Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 2.2, this section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
