	 	(a)	Subject to Sections 5.1(b) and (c) the Employer shall make, on an annual basis, in respect of each Participant who works a full-time work schedule, Base Contributions of $1,000.00 (Canadian Dollars). The Employer
shall make such contribution rateably each Pay Period through the course of the Plan Year. For example, the Employer will make, in respect of each Participant who is paid biweekly, a contribution of $38.46 (Canadian Dollars) each Pay Period.


 Base Contributions shall be pro-rated for each Participant who works less than a full-time work schedule (based on the
percentage of a full-time work schedule worked by such a Participant), and for each Participant who enrols or terminates participation in the Plan during the Plan Year (based on the number of full Pay Periods in which the Participant participated in
the Plan during the Plan Year). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the 2014 Plan Year, Base Contributions shall be doubled in respect of
those Participants who meet the following criteria: (1) are non-management employees who are currently eligible for overtime pay from their Employer, and (2) who received a grant of stock options in 2013 under the Stock Option Plan of

	 	(b)	One (1) time in each Plan Year a Participant may elect to have the Employer cease making Base Contributions to the Plan on behalf of the Participant by completing and delivering a Suspension/Recommencement Form to
the Employer. Base Contributions to the Plan will cease as soon as practicable once such Suspension/Recommencement Form has been received and processed by both the Plan Administrator and the Employer. 


If a Participant elects to have the Employer cease making Base Contributions to the Plan on behalf of the Participant pursuant to this
Section 5.1(b), no Base Contributions will be made to the Participant’s Account until the Participant makes a subsequent election to have the Employer recommence making Base Contributions to the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1(a) by
completing and delivering a Suspension/Recommencement Form to the Employer within the time period prescribed by the Employer. Base Contributions to the Plan will recommence as soon as practicable once such Suspension/Recommencement Form has been
received and processed by both the Plan Administrator and the Employer. 
 For greater certainty, no “catch-up” Base Contributions
will be made by the Employer in respect of a Participant for any period during which Base Contributions are suspended pursuant to this Section 5.1(b).

	 	(c)	Base Contributions made by an Employer under Section 5.1(a) shall cease for any period during which a Participant is on an unpaid leave of absence and is not in receipt of Eligible Earnings and shall resume

to the Employer within the time prescribed by the Employer. The amount of such “catch-up” Base Contributions shall be calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(a) above based on the period in which no Eligible Earnings were received
by the Participant, to a maximum of $1,000.00 (Canadian Dollars). Such “catch-up” contributions must be made within six (6) months of the Participant’s resumption of receipt of Eligible Earnings and may be made in one
(1) lump sum or in two (2) instalments. 

  

	5.2	Matching Contributions

(50%) of the amount of the Participant’s Participant Contributions during such period, to a maximum of one and one-half percent (1 1⁄2%) of the
Participant’s Eligible Earnings during such period. 

  

	 	(b)	If a Participant returns from a leave of absence during which no Eligible Earnings were received and elects to make “catch-up” Participant Contributions in respect of such period pursuant to
Section 4.6(b), the Participant may elect to have the Employer make “catch-up” Matching Contributions to the Plan by completing and delivering a Catch-Up Form to the Employer within the time period prescribed by the Employer. The
amount of such “catch-up” Matching Contributions shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Participant’s “catch-up” Participant Contributions, to a maximum of one and
one-half percent (1 1⁄2%) of the Participant’s Notional Earnings for the period in which no Eligible Earnings
were received (to a maximum of one (1) full year). Such “catch-up” contributions must be made within six (6) months of the Participant’s resumption of receipt of Eligible Earnings and may be made in one (1) lump sum or
in two (2) instalments. For greater certainty, a Participant who has been on an unpaid leave of absence and chooses not to make a “catch-up” Participant Contributions pursuant to Section 4.6(b) (following the Participant’s
resumption of receipt of Eligible Earnings) shall not be eligible to receive Matching Contributions under this Section 5.2 with respect to the Participant’s period of unpaid leave of absence.

share certificates representing some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Accounts to the Participant; (ii) transfer some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Accounts to the Participant’s brokerage account; or
(iii) sell some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Accounts through the facilities of the Stock Exchange. If a Participant fails to deliver a completed Withdrawal/Termination Form to the Plan Administrator for all of the Shares
within ninety (90) days after the Employer has sent the Participant the notice described in Section 9.9, for those Shares in respect of which a valid election has been not provided, the Participant shall


  
 -17- 








 
be deemed to have elected to receive the Shares in accordance with clause (i) above and such Shares shall be sent to the Participant’s last known address. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator will not transfer, deliver or sell through the facilities of the Stock Exchange any fraction of a Share
payable pursuant to this Section 9.6. Instead, if a fraction of a Share is payable pursuant to this Section 9.6 the Plan Administrator will pay the Participant an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of a Share on
the Stock Exchange on the Business Day prior to the date on which the fraction of a Share payable pursuant to this Section 9.6 is withdrawn from the Participant’s Account. 

As soon as all Shares have been transferred or sold and any payment for fractional Shares has been made, the Plan Administrator will close the
Participant’s Accounts. 
  

	9.7	Account Closure on Death 

 Upon the termination of a Participant’s participation in the Plan
pursuant to Section 9.4, in accordance with Legal Representative’s election, as set out in the completed Withdrawal/ Termination Form delivered to the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall: (i) transfer and deliver one or
more share certificates representing some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Account to the Legal Representative; (ii) transfer some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Account to a brokerage account outside of the Plan
established by the Legal Representative; or (iii) sell some or all of the Shares in the Participant’s Account through the facilities of the Stock Exchange. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator will not transfer, deliver or sell through the facilities of the Stock Exchange any fraction of a Share
payable from a Participant’s Account pursuant to this Section 9.7. Instead, if a fraction of a Share held in a Participant’s Account is payable pursuant to this Section 9.7, the Plan Administrator will pay to the
Participant’s Legal Representatives an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of a Share on the Stock Exchange on the Business Day prior to the date on which the fraction of a Share payable pursuant to this
Section 9.7 is withdrawn from the Participant’s Account. 
 As soon as all Shares are transferred or sold and any payment for fractional Shares
has been made, the Plan Administrator will close the deceased Participant’s Accounts. 
  

	9.8	Delivery of Shares 

 The transfer and delivery of the Shares or payment of the proceeds of sale, as the
case may be, and any payment in respect of a fractional Share shall be effected as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator receives notification of the election or deemed election by the Participant or the Participant’s Legal
Representative or beneficiary, as applicable. Any fees applicable to the issuance of share certificates, electronic transfer of Shares, a sale transaction, or payment in respect of a fractional Share, as applicable, will be payable by the
Participant, or the Participant’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, and shall be withheld from settlement by the Plan Administrator. 

  
 -18-

	10.2	Maintenance of Records 

 The Plan Administrator will maintain records of the Plan Accounts in the name of
each Participant and all transactions with respect to such Plan Accounts, including a record of whole and fractional Shares allocated, the dates of allocation and the price at which such allocations are made, and shall hold, for a period mutually
agreed upon by Cameco and the Plan Administrator, all forms of authorization and designation, as specified by Cameco from time to time, submitted by Eligible Employees and Participants.

administration of the Plan, provided that all such rules and procedures shall be consistent with the provisions of the Plan as in effect from time to time. Cameco may from time to time alter or amend any such rules or procedures. The rules and
procedures shall be binding on all Participants and all other Persons in respect of whom such rules and procedures are applicable.

 -20- 








 (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.5(a) or any other provision of the Plan, all brokerage fees
and any other fees and expenses incurred by the Plan Administrator in relation to any purchase of Shares or sale or withdrawal of Shares by a Participant shall be the responsibility of the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or
beneficiary, as applicable). The Plan Administrator shall be authorized to deduct from the Participant’s Accounts, all fees and expenses authorized by this Section 10.5(b). 

 

	10.6	Participant Statements 

 Each Participant shall receive from the Plan Administrator an annual statement
(or at such other times and frequency as may be determined by Cameco), which statement shall contain such information in respect of such Participant’s Accounts, as Cameco may determine from time to time or as otherwise may be required by law to
the extent applicable to such Participant. 
  

	10.7	Reports and Voting Rights 

 The Plan Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each
Participant who has Shares allocated to the Participant’s Account a copy of all notices sent to shareholders in respect of shareholder meetings at which the Shares are entitled to be voted and shall request from each such Participant
instructions as to the voting at such meeting of the aggregate number of the Participant’s whole Shares allocated to the Participant’s Account on the record date for voting purposes of such meeting. If the Participant furnishes such
instructions to the Plan Administrator or such third party designated by the Plan Administrator on a timely basis, the Plan Administrator shall vote such number of whole Shares in accordance with the instructions of the Participant. If the
Participant fails to furnish timely instructions to the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall not vote the Participant’s whole Shares. The Plan Administrator shall not vote any fractional Shares allocated to Participant Accounts and
shall not vote any Shares not allocated to Participant Accounts as of the record date. The Plan Administrator shall keep confidential the voting instructions of the Participants and shall not disclose the same to Cameco except to the extent required
by law. 
  

	10.8	Participant Information 

 Each Participant shall provide the Employer and/or the Plan Administrator, as
applicable, with all information (including personal information) required by the Employer and/or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, in order to administer to the Plan. Each Participant acknowledges that information required by the Employer
and/or Plan Administrator in order to administer the Plan may be disclosed to other third parties in connection with the administration of the Plan. Each Participant consents to such disclosure and authorizes the Employer and/or the Plan
Administrator to make such disclosure on the Participant’s behalf.

	11.2	Plan Termination 

 Cameco reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, in which event
Participants’ rights will be governed by Section 9.6 as if each Participant’s Retirement had all occurred on the date of the termination of the Plan. 

  
 -22- 








 SECTION 12 

MARKET FLUCTUATION

representations or warranties to Participants with respect to the Plan or the Shares whatsoever. Cameco shall not indemnify any Participant under the Plan against loss resulting from fluctuations in the price of Shares. Participants are expressly
advised that all Participant Contributions and Company Contributions will be invested in Shares and the value of any Shares held in the Plan will fluctuate as the trading price of the Shares fluctuates.

an Employer to terminate the Participant’s or Eligible Employee’s employment at any time.
