 Article 1. The Plan 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan 
 Sonoco Products Company (the “Company”) previously
established and presently maintains the Sonoco Savings Plan for the benefit of its eligible Employees and the eligible Employees of participating Affiliates. Effective January 3, 2012, the Clear Pack Company 401(k) Retirement Plan was merged
into this Plan. Effective December 15, 2012, the Sonoco Investment and Retirement Plan was merged into this Plan. Effective January 1, 2013— 
  

	(a)	the name of the Sonoco Savings Plan was changed to the Sonoco Retirement and Savings Plan (the “Plan”); 


 

	(b)	the Tegrant Investment and Retirement Plan was merged into the Plan and Tegrant Corporation became a participating Employer hereunder; and 


 

	(c)	The Plan was amended in certain respects. 

 This
document represents the terms of the Plan as in effect on January 1, 2013. 
 1.2 Applicability of Plan 

This Plan generally applies only to Employees who are employed by an Employer on or after January 1, 2013. Except as otherwise provided in a
retroactively effective provision of this Plan document, or except as otherwise required by law, the rights and benefits of former Employees who terminated or died before January 1, 2013 (and their Beneficiaries) shall be determined under the
terms of the prior plan documents as in effect upon their termination or death. 
 In addition, the provisions of this Plan shall apply to each
Eligible Employee, except as otherwise noted in an Appendix. Appendix A lists each participating Employer hereunder (other than Sonoco Products Company) and describes specific variations to Plan provisions and features that apply to certain nonunion
Eligible Employees. Appendix B lists each group of collectively-bargained Employees who are Eligible Employees with respect to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions and also describes specific variations to Plan provisions and features
that apply to each such collectively-bargained group. Appendix C lists each group of collectively-bargained Employees who are Eligible Employees with respect to Retirement Contributions. 
 1.3 Purpose of Plan 
 The purpose of this Plan is to allow Eligible Employees to set aside a
portion of their wages and salaries for their retirement, to encourage Employee savings by matching a portion of Employee contributions with contributions from the Employer, and to provide other Employer-paid sources of retirement income. The Plan
and any related trusts are intended to meet the requirements of sections 401(a), 401(k), 401(m), and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The portion of the Plan comprised of assets invested in the Company Stock Fund (but not
amounts that are transferred from the Company Stock Fund into other Funds) is intended to be a stock bonus plan that qualifies as an employee stock ownership plan under Code section 4975(e)(7).

	 	(A)	make any Before-Tax Contributions under section 5.1(a), Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b), or After-Tax Contributions under section 5.2, or


  

	 	(B)	receive any Matching contributions under section 5.3 or Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions under section 5.5, 


with respect to Compensation earned after the date of transfer. 

 

	(b)	Impact of Employment Transfers on Eligibility for Retirement Contributions. This section 4.3(b) describes how employment transfers affect eligibility for
Retirement Contributions. 


  
 22 










	 	(1)	Transfer into Position as Eligible Employee. Except as otherwise provided in this section 4.3(b)(1), when an Employee transfers from a position of employment in
which he or she is not an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.13(b)) into a position of employment where he or she is such an Eligible Employee, the Employee shall become a Participant with
respect to Retirement Contributions— 

  

	 	(A)	immediately as of the transfer date if he or she is at least age 21 and has completed one or more years of Vesting Service as of such transfer date; or


  

	 	(B)	as of the date determined under section 4.1(b) if he or she did not meet the requirements described in section 4.3(b)(1)(A) as of the transfer date.


 However, if a nonunion Employee who is actively participating in a pay-based defined benefit plan sponsored by
the Company or an Affiliate transfers to a position of employment with an Employer hereunder, such individual shall continue as an active participant in such defined benefit plan and shall not be treated as an Eligible Employee with respect to
Retirement Contributions (except as provided otherwise under section 2.14(b)(3)). 
  

	 	(2)	Transfer into Position as Ineligible Employee. If an Employee who is an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section
2.14(b)) transfers into a position of employment in which he or she is no longer such an Eligible Employee, such Employee shall not be entitled to any Retirement Contributions under section 5.4 with respect to Compensation earned after the date
of transfer. 

  

	(c)	Transfer of Plan Accounts. If a Member transfers to a position of employment with a nonparticipating Affiliate that maintains a qualified retirement plan under
Code section 401(a) that will accept a transfer of the Participant’s Account from this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to transfer such Member’s Account to this other plan. The Trustee will execute the
transfer as soon as practicable after receiving appropriate directions from the Committee. 

 4.4 Participation upon
Reemployment 
  

	(a)	General Rule. This section 4.4(a) describes when a former Employee who is reemployed by an Employer can become a Participant with respect to Plan benefits other
than Retirement Contributions upon reemployment. If such former Employee is reemployed as an Eligible Employee with respect to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.14(a)), he or she shall be eligible to become a
Participant with respect to such benefits— 


  
 23 










	 	(1)	immediately upon reemployment if he or she had satisfied the service requirement described in section 4.1(a)(1) as of such date; or 


 

	 	(2)	in all other cases, as of the date determined under section 4.1(a), assuming such individual is treated as a new Employee under this Plan at the time of his or her
reemployment. 

  

	(b)	Impact of Reemployment on Eligibility for Retirement Contributions. This section 4.4(b) describes when a former Employee who is reemployed by an
Employer can become a Participant with respect to Retirement Contributions. If such former Employee is reemployed as an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.14(b)), he or she will become a Participant
with respect to Retirement Contributions— 

  

	 	(1)	immediately upon reemployment if— 

  

	 	(A)	such Employee was vested in his or her Retirement Contributions Account under Article 7 upon his or her earlier Separation from Service (as defined in section
3.1(e)(2)); or 

  

	 	(B)	such Employee is at least age 21 upon his or her reemployment and had completed one or more years of Vesting Service as of his or her earlier Separation from Service
(as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)); or 

  

	 	(2)	in all other cases, as of the date determined under section 4.1(b). 


  
 24 









 Article 5. Contributions and Allocations 
 5.1 Before-Tax Contributions 
  

	(a)	Election by Participant. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect
to have his or her Compensation reduced under a Pay Reduction Agreement described in section 5.7, and to have this amount contributed on his or her behalf as a Before-Tax Contribution to the Plan. Subject to the limits described in sections
5.8(a) and 5.9 (and Appendix A or Appendix B, if applicable), this reduction for Before-Tax Contributions shall be a specified whole percentage of Compensation. Notwithstanding the above, in the interests of managing nondiscrimination test results
under section 5.8(b) for any Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose more restrictive limits on the percentage of Compensation that may be contributed as Before-Tax Contributions by Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees. 

  

	(b)	Roth Contributions. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect to
designate all or a part of his or her Before-Tax Contributions as Roth Contributions. Such designation shall be prospective only and shall be made at the time and in the manner specified by the Committee. Any election by a Participant to designate
all or part of is or her Before-Tax Contributions as Roth Contributions shall remain in force until modified by the Participant or until the Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan. 


Amounts designated as Roth Contributions shall be included in the Participant’s taxable income in the year of contribution, but
unless otherwise noted, these Roth Contributions shall be treated as Before-Tax Contributions for all other purposes under this Plan. 
  

	(c)	Catch-Up Contributions. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a), and who
has attained age 50 before the end of the Plan Year, shall be eligible to make a separate election of catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code section 414(v). Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken
into account for purposes of the Plan provisions implementing the required limitations of Code sections 402(g) and 415. In addition, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code
section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of making such catch-up contributions. 


  
 25 










	(d)	Payment to Trust Fund. The Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund the Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions elected by its Eligible Employees for
each payroll period. These contributions shall be made as soon as practicable after the payroll period, provided that in no event shall contributions under this section for any Plan Year be made later than— 


 

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or


  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under section 5.1(a) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions Account and contributions under section 5.1(b) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Roth
Contributions Account. 
 5.2 After-Tax Contributions 
  

	(a)	Election by Participant. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect
to make After-Tax Contributions for each payroll period in an amount specified by the Participant under a Pay Reduction Agreement described in section 5.7. This reduction for After-Tax Contributions shall be a whole percentage of Compensation
(subject to the limits of section 5.9 and Appendix A or Appendix B, if applicable). Notwithstanding the above, in the interests of managing nondiscrimination test results under section 5.8(c) for any Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, impose more restrictive limits on the percentage of Compensation that may be contributed as After-Tax Contributions by Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees. 


 

	(b)	Payments to the Trust Fund. After-Tax Contributions under this section 5.2 shall be paid to the Trust Fund as soon as practicable after the payroll period,
and in no event after the date required by ERISA. Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions Account. 

 5.3 Matching Contributions 
  

	(a)	Regular Matching Contributions. Except as provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, each Employer shall make Matching Contributions on behalf of each of its
Participants for each payroll period in an amount equal to 50 percent of the first 4 percent of Compensation contributed on behalf of the Participants for each payroll period (but only with respect to Before-Tax Contributions under section
5.1(a) or Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b)). However, an Employer shall not make Matching Contributions with respect to Before-Tax Contributions that a Participant separately elects to make as catch-up contributions pursuant to
section 5.1(c), regardless of whether any Before-Tax Contributions so elected are categorized as catch-up contributions in accordance with Code section 414(v). 


  
 26 










	(b)	True-Up Matching Contributions. Except as provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, for each Plan Year, the Employer shall provide to each Participant who is
in active employment with the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year an additional “true- up” Matching Contribution equal to the difference (if any) between— 


 

	 	(1)	the Matching Contribution to which the Participant would have been entitled under section 5.3(a) considering the amount of the Participant’s Before-Tax
Contributions and Roth Contributions for the entire Plan Year; and 

  

	 	(2)	the Matching Contribution made throughout such Plan Year on a pay period by pay period basis. 


This “true- up” Matching Contribution shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the end of each Plan Year (to
be allocated to such Participant’s Account as of the last day of such prior Plan Year). True-up Matching Contributions will be invested pursuant to the investment elections that are current at the time such contributions are made. In no event
will adjustments to the “true-up” Matching Contributions be made to reflect any changes in investment performance which occur prior to the date such contributions are actually made. 

 

	(c)	Payments to the Trust Fund. Matching Contributions under this section 5.3 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or times as the Employer may
determine, but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or


  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account. 
 5.4 Retirement Contributions 
  

	(a)	Eligibility. An Employee who qualifies as a Participant under section 4.1(b) shall be entitled to a Retirement Contribution for the Plan Year if he or she
either— 

  

	 	(1)	is actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year; or 


 

	 	(2)	terminates employment before the last day of the Plan Year on account of death or after reaching age 55. 


  
 27 










	(b)	Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer shall make Retirement Contributions to the Account of each of its Participants who meets the eligibility requirements
described in section 5.4(a) equal to the sum of— 

  

	 	(1)	4 percent of such Participant’s eligible Compensation for the Plan Year; and 


 

	 	(2)	4 percent of such Participant’s eligible Compensation for the Plan Year in excess of the Social Security Wage Base. 


However, notwithstanding the above, only Compensation earned after an Eligible Employee has become a Participant (as determined under
section 4.1(b)) shall be considered in determining the amount of Retirement Contributions under this section 5.4(b). 
  

	(c)	Payment to Trust Fund. Retirement Contributions under this section 5.4 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or times as the Employers may determine,
but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or


  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Retirement Contributions Account. 
 5.5 Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions 
  

	(a)	Eligibility. A collectively-bargained Employee who qualifies as an Eligible Employee under section 2.14(d)(1) shall be entitled to Collectively-Bargained
Nonelective Employer Contributions for the Plan Year if he or she— 

  

	 	(1)	qualifies as a Participant for such Plan Year under section 4.1(a); 

  

	 	(2)	is covered by a collective-bargaining agreement that provides for such contributions, as described in Appendix B; and 


 

	 	(3)	satisfies the additional eligibility requirements that apply to such contributions (if any), as described in Appendix B. 


 

	(b)	Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer shall make Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions to the Account of each of its Participants who meet
the eligibility requirements described in section 5.5(a) equal to the amount determined under Appendix B. 


  
 28 










	(c)	Payment to Trust Fund. Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions under this section 5.5 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or
times as the Employers may determine, but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or


  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions Account. 
 5.6 Rollover Contributions 
  

	(a)	General Rule. This section 5.6(a) applies to the rollover of eligible distributions other than Roth rollovers. In accordance with procedures established by the
Committee, an Eligible Employee may contribute cash amounts attributable to eligible rollover distributions from: 

  

	 	(1)	a qualified plan described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a), including the direct rollover of after-tax employee contributions made to such plan;


  

	 	(2)	an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); or 

  

	 	(3)	an eligible plan under Code section 457 that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state. 

 An Eligible Employee may also contribute cash distributions from an individual
retirement account or annuity described in Code section 408(a) or (b) that are eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income. 
 The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the return of rollover contributions to an Eligible Employee if the Committee determines that such return is necessary to insure the
continued qualification of the Plan under Code section 401(a). 
 Rollover contributions shall be credited to the Eligible
Employee’s Rollover Contributions Account, except that a rollover of after-tax employee contributions shall be credited to the Eligible Employee’s After-Tax Rollover Contributions Account. 

 

	(b)	Roth Rollover Contributions. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, an Eligible Employee may contribute a qualified Roth rollover to the
Plan including— 


  
 29 










	 	(1)	a direct transfer from a designated Roth account under another qualified plan described in Code section 401(a); or 


 

	 	(2)	an indirect transfer of the portion of a distribution from a designated Roth account under another applicable retirement plan that would have been includible in the
Eligible Employee’s gross income if not for the rollover. 

 Amounts contributed to the Plan pursuant to this
section 5.6(b) shall be credited to the Eligible Employee’s Roth Rollover Contributions Account. 
 5.7 Pay Reduction Agreements

  

	(a)	General Rule. Except as provided in section 5.7(b), an Eligible Employee who has satisfied the requirements to become a Participant section 4.1(a) can make
Before-Tax Contributions under section 5.1(a), Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b), catch-up contributions under section 5.1(c), and After-Tax Contributions under section 5.2 only by filing with the Committee a Pay Reduction Agreement in a
manner specified by the Committee. Under this Pay Reduction Agreement, the Eligible Employee’s Compensation may be reduced on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis (as specified by the Eligible Employee) within the limits specified under
section 5.1 or section 5.2 (as applicable), and the Employer shall agree to contribute these withheld amounts to the Plan on the Eligible Employee’s behalf in accordance with section 5.1 or section 5.2 (as applicable).


 The Pay Reduction Agreement shall be filed with the Committee at a time specified by the Committee before the
date on which it is to take effect. A Participant’s Pay Reduction Agreement shall remain in effect until canceled or amended. 
  

	(b)	Automatic Enrollment for Newly Eligible Employees.  

  

	 	(1)	General Rule. Except as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, an Eligible Employee shall be treated as having filed a Pay Reduction Agreement authorizing
Before-Tax Contributions equal to 3 percent of Compensation, commencing as of the first day of the month next following his or her satisfaction of the eligibility requirements described in section 4.1(a) unless such Eligible Employee affirmatively
elects in advance of such date to contribute at a different percentage, to contribute on a Roth or after-tax basis, or to decline participation. 

 However, the Before-Tax Contribution rate for a nonunion Employee who was eligible to participate in the Tegrant Investment and Retirement Plan on December 31, 2012, and who becomes an Eligible
Employee under this Plan as of January 1, 2013, shall be set automatically at the rate required (if any) to ensure that the sum of his or her Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions on January 1, 2013 are equal to 3 percent of
Compensation (subject to such Employee’s affirmative election to contribute in a different manner or to decline participation). 

  
 30 










	 	(2)	Notice. The Committee shall provide Eligible Employees with notice of the automatic contribution feature at least 30 days in advance of the first payroll
deduction under section 5.7(b)(1). 

  

	(c)	Suspension of Contributions. A Pay Reduction Agreement may be canceled by a Participant at any time during the Plan Year by giving notice to the Committee at a
time and in a manner specified by the Committee. This notice shall be effective, and the Pay Reduction Agreement shall be cancelled, as soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of such notice by the Committee. Any Participant who
elects to suspend contributions pursuant to this section 5.7(c) shall be eligible to resume contributions as of any later date by filing with the Committee a new Pay Reduction Agreement, which shall be effective as soon as administratively
practicable following its receipt by the Committee. 

  

	(d)	Change in Contributions. A Pay Reduction Agreement may be amended by a Participant to increase or decrease the percentage amount of the Participant’s
Before-Tax Contributions, Roth Contributions, or After-Tax Contributions by giving notice to the Committee at a time and in a manner specified by the Committee. This notice shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable following the
receipt of such notice by the Committee. 

 5.8 Limitations on Contributions 

 

	(a)	Limit on Before-Tax Contributions. No Employer shall make Before-Tax Contributions (which, for this purpose, shall also include Roth Contributions) for any
calendar year for any Member which, when aggregated with any previous deferrals by the Member pursuant to any other cash or deferred arrangement maintained by the Company or an Affiliate under Code section 401(k), are in excess of $17,500 (or
such greater amount as may be determined under Code section 402(g)). To the extent that any Before-Tax Contributions are made in contravention of the preceding sentence, such excess amounts (plus earnings or minus losses, determined in the
manner described below), shall be refunded to the Member as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Plan Year, but no later than April 15 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess deferrals occurred.


 In addition, if the limitation in Code section 402(g) would be exceeded by the total of the Member’s
Before-Tax Contributions under this Plan and deferrals for the same calendar year made under any other cash or deferred arrangement maintained by an employer other than an Affiliate, the excess amount designated by the Member (or by the Employer on
the Member’s behalf) shall be refunded to the Member no later than April 15 following such calendar year. The amount of excess deferrals refunded by the Plan shall not exceed the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions for the calendar
year. 

  
 31 









 Refunds of excess deferrals under this section 5.8(a) shall be taken first from the
Member’s Roth Contributions Account, and then from the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions Account (but only to the extent that the excess deferrals for such Plan Year exceed the amount of the Member’s Roth Contributions for such Plan
Year). 
 Any refund required under this section 5.8(a) shall be adjusted for attributable earnings and losses, as determined
under section 6.5, up to the end of the Plan Year for which the deferrals were made (and there shall be no adjustment for earnings and losses for any period after the end of the Plan Year for which the deferrals were made). 

 

	(b)	Actual Deferral Percentage Test. The actual deferral percentage for each Plan Year of the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to participate in the
Plan shall not exceed the greater of— 

  

	 	(1)	one and one-quarter times the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year; or 


 

	 	(2)	the lesser of (A) two times the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year or (B) two percentage
points plus the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year. 


The actual deferral percentage of each group of Eligible Employees for any Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated
separately for each Eligible Employee in each group) of (i) the Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions made on behalf of each Eligible Employee for such Plan Year to (ii) such Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the Plan
Year. In the discretion of the Committee, the Compensation used for this purpose may be limited to Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee satisfied the eligibility requirements of section 4.1(a), provided
that this alternative is applied uniformly to all Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of this test only if they are allocated to the Eligible Employee’s
Account as of a date within the Plan Year and are paid to the Trust Fund within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. 

To the extent necessary to conform to the limitation of this section 5.8(b), the Committee shall reduce Before-Tax Contributions and
Roth Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees consistent with regulations issued under Code section 401(k). Such reduction shall be effected by reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in the
order of the dollar amount of such contributions, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employees who elected the largest dollar amount of such contributions. 

  
 32 









 Excess contributions determined under this section 5.8(b) shall be refunded to the Member
with the income thereon and without regard to any other provision in the Plan. Refunds of excess contributions under this section 5.8(b) shall be taken first from the Member’s Roth Contributions Account, and then from the Member’s
Before-Tax Contributions Account (but only to the extent that the excess contributions for the Plan Year exceed the amount of the Member’s Roth Contributions for such Plan Year). 

The income that is refunded under this section 5.8(b) shall be calculated in accordance with section 6.5 and applicable Treasury
regulations or other regulatory guidance. However, a refund under this section shall not include income attributable to any period after the end of the Plan Year for which the contributions were made. 

A refund shall occur within the first two and one-half months after such Plan Year, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event
later than 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. A refund of excess contributions under this section 5.8(b) shall be coordinated with any refund required under section 5.8(a). Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Before-Tax
Contributions or Roth Contributions that are refunded pursuant to this section 5.8(b) shall be treated as a forfeiture (and shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions due under section 5.3 from the Employer of the affected Member).

  

	(c)	Actual Contribution Percentage Test. The actual contribution percentage for each Plan Year of the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to participate
in the Plan shall not exceed the greater of— 

  

	 	(1)	one and one-quarter times the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year; or 


 

	 	(2)	the lesser of (A) two times the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year or (B) two percentage
points plus the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year. 


The actual contribution percentage of each group of Eligible Employees for any Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated
separately for each Eligible Employee in each group) of (i) the After-Tax and Matching Contributions made on behalf of each Eligible Employee for such Plan Year to (ii) the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year. In the
discretion of the Committee, the Compensation used for this purpose may be limited to Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year during which the Employee satisfied the participation requirements


  
 33 









 
of section 4.1(a), provided that this alternative is applied uniformly to all Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. After-Tax and Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes
of this test only if they are allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Account as of a date within the Plan Year, are paid to the Trust Fund within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year, and (regarding Matching Contributions only) are made on
account of the Eligible Employee’s Before-Tax Contributions (or Roth Contributions) for the Plan Year. 
 To the extent
necessary to conform to the limitation described in this section 5.8(c), the Committee shall reduce After-Tax and Matching Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees in a manner similar to the method described in
section 5.8(b). Any After-Tax and Matching Contributions so reduced (including allocable income) shall be refunded to the Member. The income on After-Tax and Matching Contributions that are refunded under this section 5.8(c) shall be
calculated in accordance with section 6.5 and applicable Treasury regulations or other regulatory guidance. However, a refund under this section shall not include income attributable to any period after the Plan Year for which the contributions
were made. 
 Any refund made pursuant to this section 5.8(c) shall be paid without regard to any other provision in the Plan.
Each refund shall occur within the first two and one-half months after the Plan Year, or as soon as practicable after that date, but in no event later than 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. Any refund of After-Tax and Matching
Contributions shall be coordinated with any forfeiture required under section 5.8(b) and shall not discriminate in favor of those Highly Compensated Employees receiving such distributions. 

 

	(d)	Special Testing Provisions. 

  

	 	(1)	For purposes of section 5.8(b), the actual deferral percentage of a Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible for Before-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions
under two or more plans described in Code section 401(k) that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined as if all such contributions were made under a single Plan, except as otherwise provided in regulations under Code
section 401(k). 

 For purposes of section 5.8(c), the actual contribution percentage of a Highly
Compensated Employee who is eligible to participate in two or more plans providing for After-Tax or Matching Contributions (within the meaning of Code section 401(m)) that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined as if
all these contributions are made under a single plan, except as otherwise provided in regulations under Code section 401(m). 

  
 34 










	 	(2)	For purposes of this section 5.8, the actual deferral percentages and actual contribution percentages shall be determined by considering all applicable
contributions made under any other plans that are aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b). If other plans are permissively aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code section 401(k) or 401(m), the
aggregated plans must satisfy Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as if they constituted a single plan. 

  

	 	(3)	In the discretion of the Committee, the actual contribution percentage for a Participant may be determined by taking into account all or part of his or her Before-Tax
Contributions and Roth Contributions, provided that the requirements in applicable Treasury regulations are satisfied. 

  

	 	(4)	In addition to the foregoing, if the Committee determines during the course of the Plan Year that the actual deferral percentage test in section 5.8(b) or the
actual contribution percentage test in section 5.8(c) might not be met for the Plan Year, the Committee may reduce, at any time, the maximum percentage of Compensation at which Highly Compensated Employees may elect Before-Tax Contributions, Roth
Contributions, and/or After-Tax Contributions to the percentage deemed necessary to satisfy the appropriate test for the Plan Year. Any such limitation shall be treated as an employer-provided limit with respect to these Highly Compensated Employees
for purposes of electing catch-up contributions pursuant to section 5.1(c). 

  

	 	(5)	The portion of the Plan that benefits Eligible Employees who are included in collective bargaining units shall be tested separately from the portion of the Plan that
benefits Eligible Employees who are not covered by collective bargaining units. In addition, when testing the portion of the Plan that benefits Eligible Employees who are members of collective bargaining units, (A) this portion of the Plan
shall not be subject to the average contribution percentage test described in section 5.8(c) and (B) the Committee may test each bargaining unit separately under section 5.8(b) or may combine two or more bargaining units into a single test
(provided that any such combinations are reasonable and reasonably consistent from year to year). 

 5.9 Limitation on Annual
Additions 
  

	(a)	General Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, the Annual Additions (as defined in section 5.9(c)) with respect to a Member for a
Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of— 

  

	 	(1)	$51,000, or any higher annual amount permitted under Code section 415(d); or 


 

	 	(2)	100 percent of the Member’s Compensation for the Plan Year. 


  
 35 










	(b)	Reduction in Annual Additions. If in any Plan Year a Member’s Annual Additions exceed the limitation determined under section 5.9(a), such excess shall
not be allocated to the Member’s accounts in any other defined contribution plan. Instead, the excess shall be taken first from the Member’s subaccounts under this Plan as follows: 


 

	 	(1)	to the extent allowed by regulations, the Member’s After-Tax Contributions, or any part thereof, shall be refunded to the Member, along with any earnings
attributable thereto;

Year. Such suspense account shall share in the gains and losses of the Trust Fund on the same basis as other Accounts. 
  

	(c)	Annual Additions. For purposes of this section, Annual Additions mean the sum, credited to a Member’s Account under this Plan and the Member’s accounts

allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by the Company or an Affiliate. 


  
 36 









 However, any amount described in section 5.9(c)(4) or (5) shall not be counted as an Annual Addition in
applying the rule in Code section 415(c)(1)(B) and section 5.9(a)(2) of the Plan (limiting Annual Additions to 100 percent of Compensation). In addition, restored forfeitures shall not be treated as Annual Additions. 

 

	(d)	Definition of Affiliate. In applying the limitations on contributions under this section, an employer shall be treated as an Affiliate of the Company if, in
determining common control under Code section 414(b) and (c), the phrase “more than 50 percent” were substituted for the phrase “at least 80 percent” each place the latter appears in Code section 1563 and in the
regulations under Code section 414(c). 

  

	(e)	IRS Regulations. This section 5.9 shall be interpreted and applied consistently with the final regulations under Code section 415 that were adopted by the

specified by the Committee. 

  

	(b)	Default Election. In the event that a Participant fails to make the election described in section 6.1(a) upon first becoming a Participant, his or her Account
shall be invested in the Target Date Retirement Fund applicable to the Participant (or similar Fund selected by the Investment Council in its sole discretion). The Fund designated by the Investment Council under this section 6.1(b) is intended to be
a qualified default investment arrangement under ERISA section 404(c)(5) (and related regulations). As such, the Committee shall provide a notice to Participants describing— 


 

	 	(1)	the circumstances under which contributions will be invested in the default Fund selected by the Investment Council under this section 6.1(b); 


 

	 	(2)	the investment objectives, risk and return characteristics, and fees and expenses related to the default Fund selected by the Investment Council under this section

advance of each subsequent Plan Year. 
  

	(c)	Changes in Elections. Each Participant may change his or her investment election for future contributions at any time (in 1 percent increments) by giving notice

	 	(2)	paid directly in cash to such Member (or Beneficiary); or 

  

	 	(3)	paid to the Trustee and distributed by the Trustee in cash to such Member (or Beneficiary) no later than 90 days after the end of the Plan Year in which such dividends
are paid to the Trustee. 

 Any election by a Member or Beneficiary under this section 6.3(a) shall be made at a
time and manner prescribed by the Committee, but any procedures prescribed by the Committee shall meet regulatory guidance issued under Code section 404(k) and provide each Member and Beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to (A) make an election
before a dividend is paid or distributed to the Member or Beneficiary and (B) change his or her election at least annually. 
  

	(b)	Voting Rights. Each Member and Beneficiary may direct the Trustee how to vote shares of Company Stock that are allocated to his or her Account. Full shares of
Company Stock shall be voted by the Trustee in accordance with any such directions. Fractional shares shall be combined and voted by the Trustee in a manner that reasonably reflects the voting directions of the Members and Beneficiaries whose
Accounts are credited with such fractional shares. The Trustee shall vote all shares of Company Stock for which it does not receive timely voting directions in the same proportion as those shares for which timely voting directions were received.


 For voting purposes, each Member and Beneficiary shall be a named fiduciary with respect to the Company Stock
that is allocated to his or her Account. Voting directions from Members and Beneficiaries shall be made at a time and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, and any procedures established by the Committee for this purpose shall require the Trustee
to hold voting directions from Members and Beneficiaries in strict confidence. The Committee shall provide the Trustee and each Member and Beneficiary with proxy materials and other information that is identical to that provided to other
shareholders. 

  
 39

	 	(2)	a form on which each such Member and Beneficiary can confidentially instruct the Trustee whether to tender the Company Stock allocated to his or her Account.


 For Company Stock allocated to Accounts for which no timely tender instructions are received by Members or
Beneficiaries, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the directions given with respect to the majority of the shares of Company Stock for which timely directions were provided to the Trustee by Members and Beneficiaries. 

For purposes of any tender offer, each Member and Beneficiary shall be a named fiduciary with respect to the Company Stock that is
allocated to his or her Account. 
 6.4 Plan Expenses 
  

	(a)	Investment Fees. Except to the extent paid by an Employer in its sole discretion, expenses attributable to the management and investment of each of the Funds
shall be charged against the respective Fund. 

  

	(b)	Administrative Expenses. Except to the extent paid by an Employer in its sole discretion, or except to the extent that fees for specific services (e.g.,
distributions or investment services) are assessed against the Account of specific Members (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), all fees paid to the Trustee for trustee services, all fees paid for recordkeeping services performed
by the Trustee or by any other third-party service provider, and any other costs or expenses described in section 11.2 shall be paid out of Trust Fund assets and charged against each Member’s Account in the same proportion as the
Member’s Account balance bears to the total balance of all Accounts. 

 6.5 Valuation; Allocation of Investment Earnings
and Losses 
 Following the end of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall value all assets of the Trust Fund, allocate net gains or losses,
and process additions to and withdrawals from Accounts in the following manner: 
  

	(a)	The Trustee shall first compute the fair market value of securities and any other assets comprising each Fund. Each Account shall be adjusted each Valuation Date by
applying the closing market price of the Fund on the current Valuation Date to the share/unit balance of the Fund as of the close of business on the current Valuation Date. 


  
 40 










	(b)	The Trustee shall then account for any request for additions or withdrawals made to or from a specific designated Fund by any Member, including allocations of
contributions. In completing the valuation procedure described above, such adjustments in the amount credited to such Accounts shall be made on the Valuation Date to which the investment activity relates. Contributions received by the Trustee
pursuant to this Plan shall not be taken into account until the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date when the contribution was both actually paid to the Trustee and allocated among the Accounts of Members.


 It is intended that this section 6.5 shall operate to distribute among each Account in the Trust Fund all income of the Trust
Fund and changes in the value of the assets of the Trust Fund. 
 6.6 Compliance with ERISA Section 404(c) 

The Plan is intended to constitute a plan that satisfies the requirements of ERISA section 404(c) and, as such, the Plan fiduciaries shall be
relieved of liability for losses that may result from a Member’s or Beneficiary’s investment instructions. To the extent that any one Fund does not satisfy the requirements of ERISA section 404(c), the protections thereunder shall continue
to apply to all other Funds which otherwise satisfy these requirements. The Committee and Investment Council shall provide all information and take all other steps they deem necessary and appropriate to comply with the requirements of ERISA section
404(c).

	(b)	Designation of Beneficiary. 

  

	 	(1)	General Rule. Each Member may designate one or more persons as Beneficiary to receive the remaining portion of the Vested Balance of the Member’s Account in

	 	(2)	Rule for Surviving Spouses. A Spouse to whom the Member was married on the date of his or her death shall be the Member’s sole Beneficiary unless, prior to
the Member’s death, one or more other persons have been named pursuant to a qualified alternate designation (as defined in section 8.1(b)(3)) made and filed prior to the Member’s death in accordance with procedures prescribed by the
Committee. The consent of a Member’s Spouse shall not be required where—

	 	(B)	the Committee determines that the Member is legally separated;

	 	(3)	Qualified Alternate Designation. A designation shall be a qualified alternate designation only if— 


 

	 	(A)	the Member, in a signed written instrument, designates by name one or more persons to be Beneficiary in lieu of, or along with, the Member’s surviving Spouse;



  
 47 










	 	(B)	the Member’s surviving Spouse (if any), determined at the time of the Member’s death, has consented in writing to the naming of such Beneficiary and has
acknowledged the effect of such consent; and 

  

	 	(C)	such consent is witnessed by a notary public or a Plan representative. 

 A qualified alternate designation may not be changed without spousal consent. Any spousal consent to a qualified alternate designation shall be irrevocable. 

 

	 	(4)	Default Beneficiary. If no person is otherwise designated under this subsection, if a designation is revoked in whole or in part, or if no designated Beneficiary
survives the Member, benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Member’s surviving Spouse, or if there is no surviving Spouse, to the Member’s estate. 


If any payment is made under the Plan to any Beneficiary in reasonable reliance on (A) a written attestation by the Member of
unmarried status, (B) a spousal consent that on its face conformed to the requirements set forth above, or (C) evidence establishing to the Committee’s satisfaction that a Member’s Spouse could not be located at the time of a
Beneficiary designation, the Plan’s liability for death benefits shall be satisfied to the extent of such payment, and the Plan shall have no liability to any Spouse to such extent. 

 

	 	(5)	Death of Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary who is entitled to receive payments from the Trust Fund dies before receiving all payments due, any remaining benefit
shall be paid to the Beneficiary’s estate in a lump sum.

	 	(1)	in a lump sum payment; 


  
 48 










	 	(2)	in up to five substantially equal annual installments (as elected by the Member or the Beneficiary), with each installment payment equal to the Vested Balance of the
Account as of the payment date divided by the remaining number of payments; 

  

	 	(3)	in quarterly or annual installments equal to a stated dollar amount or stated number of installment payments from the Vested Balance of the Account (as specified by the

	 	(4)	in partial withdrawals elected on an as-needed basis in an amount selected by the Member or Beneficiary, provided that each such withdrawal (except the final one) must

receive distribution of the Vested Balance of the Member’s Account in any of the payment forms permitted under section 8.3(a).

Vested Balance of the Member’s Account as of the first Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the Member’s Separation from Service (as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)) or death is not greater than $5,000, distribution shall be
made in a single sum payment as soon as practicable following such Valuation Date. 

 If a Member becomes entitled
to an automatic cashout under this section 8.4(c) in excess of $1,000, and the Member does not elect a direct distribution or a qualified rollover, the Committee shall arrange for a rollover distribution to an individual retirement plan in the name
of the Member. If no such plan exists at the time of the rollover distribution, the Committee shall establish an individual retirement plan for the benefit of the Member. (In all other cases, an automatic cashout shall be distributed directly to the
Member or Beneficiary, as applicable).

8.5(b)(1)(F)(ii)(I) or (II), whichever ends later. In no event shall the Committee be required to provide notice to a Member who has no vested benefit under the Plan after the Member has terminated employment with the Employer.

distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; 


 

	 	(B)	any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9);

	 	(D)	the portion of any distribution that represents a hardship withdrawal pursuant to section 8.6(d). 


Notwithstanding section 8.8(b)(1)(C), a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because
the portion consists of the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions Account or After-Tax Rollover Contributions Account. Any such amounts may be transferred to (i) a qualified trust described in Code section 401(a) or an annuity contract
described in Code section 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of the distribution which is not
includible in gross income); (ii) an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a); or (iii) an individual retirement annuity (other than an endowment contract) described in Code section 408(b). 

In addition, a portion of a distribution from a Member’s Roth Contributions Account or Roth Rollover Contributions Account does not
fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion is not includible in the distributee’s gross income (determined without regard to the rollover). However, such portion may only be transferred to a Roth IRA or directly
transferred to a designated Roth account under a Code section 401(a) plan or a Code section 403(b) plan that agrees to account separately for the amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is
includible in gross income and the portion such distribution that is not so includible. 

  
 61 










	 	(2)	Eligible retirement plan means—

	 	(B)	an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b); 


 

	 	(C)	an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a); 

  

	 	(D)	a qualified trust described in Code section 401(a); 

  

	 	(E)	an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); 

  

	 	(F)	an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or
political subdivision of a state and that agrees to account separately for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan; and 

  

	 	(G)	an individual retirement arrangement described in Code section 408A. 

  


	 	(3)	Distributee means a Participant or former Participant. In addition, the Participant’s or former Participant’s surviving Spouse and the
Participant’s or former Participant’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)) are distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or
former Spouse. 

 In addition, a non-Spouse Beneficiary may elect, at a time and in a manner prescribed by the
Committee, to have any portion of a distribution from the Plan paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the non-Spouse Beneficiary in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. However, in the case of any such distribution to a
non-Spouse Beneficiary, an eligible retirement plan shall mean an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b). 

 

	 	(4)	Direct rollover means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 


8.9 Rehired Member 
 In the event that a
Member who has had a Separation from Service (as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)) is rehired by the Company or an Affiliate before having received a complete distribution of the Vested Balance of his or her Account, further distribution of the
Member’s Account shall be suspended, and the undistributed balance shall continue to be held in the Account until the Member is again entitled to a distribution under this Article 8. 

  
 62 









 8.10 Distributions on Account of Military Service 

A Member who is performing service in the uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 of title 38 of the U.S. Code) for a period of more than 30 days
shall be treated has having severed from employment under Code section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) during such period of service and may elect to receive all or part of his or her Before-Tax Contributions Account and Roth Contributions Account in a lump sum
payment. If a Member elects to receive a distribution pursuant to this section 8.10, the Member shall be prohibited from making any contributions to the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Affiliates for six months after the
date of the distribution. 

  
 63

Plan and any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) shall be the lesser of— 

  

	 	(1)	$50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of— 

  

	 	(A)	the highest outstanding balance of loans from this Plan or any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate during the one-year period
ending on the day before the loan was made; over 

  

	 	(B)	the outstanding balance of loans from this Plan and any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate on the date the loan is made; or


  

	 	(2)	50 percent of the Member’s Vested Balance at the relevant time.

for loans made in similar circumstances. 
 9.4 Term 
 A loan shall be for the term (in whole month increments) requested by the Member or Beneficiary, but shall not exceed five years (or 20 years, in the case of a loan for the acquisition of the
Member’s principal residence). 
 9.5 Repayment 
  

	(a)	Equal Installments. Loans shall be repaid in equal installments, one per payroll period, representing a combination of interest and principal sufficient to
amortize the loan during its term (plus any reasonable processing fees, as determined by the Committee).

loan installments determined under section 9.5(a) shall be adjusted to reflect the change.

by an automatic debit to such Member’s personal bank account. 

  

	(d)	Prepayment. Prepayments of the entire loan balance in a manner acceptable to the Trustee may be made without penalty. Partial prepayments are not allowed.


  

	(e)	Default. If a Member fails to make an installment payment required by this section by 90 days after the date on which such installment is first due, the loan may
be declared in default and shall then become immediately due and payable in full. If the Member does not then repay the full loan balance, his or her Account shall be offset by the unpaid loan balance at the earliest time permitted by law.


  

	(f)	Suspension of Payments during Military Leave. Each Member may elect to suspend his or her loan repayments while on unpaid military leave covered under the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. In such event, the loan term will be extended by the length of the suspension and interest will not accrue during the period of the leave. 


9.6 Loans Treated as Plan Investments 
  

	(a)	 Charge to Accounts and Funds. Loan proceeds distributed to a Member shall be charged on a pro rata basis against the various subaccounts from
which a loan is permitted under section 9.1. Additionally, loan proceeds distributed to the Member 



  
 65 










	 	
shall be charged, on a pro rata basis, to each Fund in which the affected subaccount is invested. The amount distributed to a Member shall be equal to the face value of the loan less any
origination or other fee assessed in connection with making the loan. 

  

	(b)	Loan Fund. A promissory note equal to the face value of the loan shall then be credited as an asset of an individual loan fund established in the Member’s
name. The value of a Member’s Account shall include the amount of principal and accrued interest remaining to be paid under this note. 

  

	(c)	Credit to Accounts and Funds. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of loan repayments, the Trustee shall credit principal and interest repayments
to the subaccounts of the Member’s Account from which the loan was initially withdrawn on a pro rata basis. The amount of the loan repayment (including principal and interest) shall be invested in the Funds in accordance with the investment
election last submitted by the Member or Beneficiary under Article 6. 

 9.7 Documents 

No loan under this Article shall be made until the Member or Beneficiary has— 

 

	(a)	completed a loan application setting forth any information the Committee deems appropriate; 


 

	(b)	agreed to a promissory note designating the Trustee as payee and stating the amount, term, repayment schedule, interest rate, and other terms and conditions consistent
with this Article; 

  

	(c)	authorized and directed that the Employer shall withhold each payroll period, and remit to the Trustee, the installment amounts determined under section 9.5(a);
and 

  

	(d)	granted a conditional security interest in the Member’s Account to the Trustee as security for repayment of the loan. 


All such steps shall be completed by submitting the appropriate forms or as otherwise directed by the Committee.

 Article 10. Amendment and Termination 
 10.1 Amendment and Termination 
 The Company expects the Plan to be permanent, but the
Company must necessarily and does hereby reserve the right to amend or modify in any respect, or to terminate, the Plan at any time, for any reason whatsoever, by written resolution of the Company’s Board. Any such amendments to the Plan may be
made retroactively if necessary or appropriate to maintain the Plan as a plan meeting the requirements of Code section 401(a). 
 In
addition, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt in writing any amendment that is not expected to significantly alter the Plan’s contribution provisions or increase its expense. 
 No amendment of the Plan shall cause any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Members or their Beneficiaries. No plan amendment may
decrease the accrued benefit of any Member. Retroactive plan amendments may not decrease the accrued benefit of any Member determined as of the time the amendment was adopted. 
 No amendment may eliminate or reduce an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy (as defined in Treasury regulations), or eliminate an optional form of benefit with respect to benefits
attributable to service before the amendment, except as permitted under Code section 411(d)(6). 
 10.2 Vesting on Termination or
Partial Termination 
 Upon a complete or partial termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.411(d)-2), no further contributions shall be made under the Plan on behalf of affected Members; the Account of each Member (or, in the case of a partial termination, each affected Member within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.411(d)-2) shall fully vest; and the Accounts of any affected Members shall be distributed at the time and in the manner specified in Article 8. 

10.3 Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer 

In the case of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or any transfer of assets and liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, provision shall be
made so that each Member would, if the Plan were then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit the Member would have been entitled to receive immediately
before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then been terminated. 

  
 67 









 Article 11. Administration 
 11.1 Plan Administrator and Fiduciary

the meaning of Title I of ERISA. 

 The Committee shall consist of at least three, but no more than seven,
individuals who will serve as members of the Committee by virtue of their job titles, as specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. A Committee member will lose his or her status as such when he or she ceases to hold the job title by virtue of
which he or she is a member. In addition, a Committee member may resign at any time by written resignation from his or her job title, submitted to the Company and the Committee. The successor to such job title will then become the successor
Committee member. 
  

	(b)	Fiduciaries. Plan fiduciaries will have the powers and duties described in this section 11.1(b), and may delegate such duties to the extent permitted under ERISA
section 402. 

  

	 	(1)	The Board. The fiduciary duties of Board members are limited to the adoption of resolutions indicating (i) which Employees (by job title) will serve as
members of the Committee; and (ii) which Employees (by job title) will serve as members of the Investment Council. 

  

	 	(2)	The Employers. The fiduciary duties of the Company and other Employers hereunder are limited to (i) making contributions to the Plan in the amounts
determined by the Committee; and (ii) executing documents by which the Plan is governed. 

  

	 	(3)	The Trustee. The fiduciary duties of the Trustee are those enumerated in the Trust Agreement. 


 

	 	(4)	The Investment Council. The Investment Council shall consist of at least three, but no more than seven, individuals who will serve as members of the Investment
Council by virtue of their job titles, as specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. An Investment Council member will lose his or her status as such when he or she ceases to hold the job title by virtue of which he or she is a member. In
addition, a member of the Investment Council may resign at any time by written resignation from his or her job title, submitted to the Company and the Investment Council. The successor to such job title will then become the successor Investment
Council. 


  
 68 









 The Investment Council has primary responsibility for the investment of Plan assets
including (i) the power to select and remove the Trustee; (ii) the power to select and remove investment managers (and to determine how Plan assets will be allocated among the Trustee and any such investment managers); (iii) the
obligation to maintain a written investment policy; (iv) the obligation to determine which Funds will be available under the Plan (to the extent that this responsibility is not delegated to the Trustee or one or more investment managers); and
(v) the obligation to evaluate the performance of investment managers and Funds. 
  

	 	(5)	The Committee. The Committee shall have the duties described in sections 11.6 through 11.10. 


11.2 Specialists and Expenses 
  

	(a)	The Committee and/or Investment Council may employ any counsel, auditors, and other specialists, and obtain any clerical, actuarial, and other services, and purchase
products which are appropriate and helpful in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. Except to the extent paid by the Company or an Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion, these fees and expenses shall be paid by the Trust Fund.


  

	(b)	The Company or an Affiliate may initially pay any expense that normally would be a charge on the Trust Fund and later obtain reimbursement from the Trust Fund.


  

	 	(1)	This even applies in cases where at the time of the initial payment of the expense, it is not clear that the Company or Affiliate may lawfully seek reimbursement from
the Trust Fund, but such legal right to reimbursement is later clarified. 

  

	 	(2)	It is specifically anticipated that there may be situations, such as litigation, where the Company or an Affiliate might choose to bear costs initially, but later
obtain reimbursement many years after the costs were incurred. Such delayed reimbursements shall be permissible. 

  

	(c)	Each member of the Committee and Investment Council who is also a full-time Employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall not receive additional compensation for his or
her services as a member of the Committee or Investment Council. Any other member of the Committee or Investment Council may receive compensation for services as a member, to be paid from the Trust Fund to the extent not paid by the Company or an
Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion. Any member of the Committee or Investment Council may also receive reimbursement from the Trust Fund to the extent not paid by the Company or an Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion for
expenses properly and actually incurred. 

 11.3 Records 
 All resolutions, proceedings, acts, and determinations of the Committee and Investment Council shall be recorded in writing. All such records, together with any documents and instruments as may be
necessary for the administration of the Plan, shall be preserved in the custody of the Committee or Investment Council. 

  
 69 









 11.4 Manner of Action 
 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee and Investment Council may from time to time in its discretion establish rules for the conduct of their affairs and the exercise of the duties imposed upon
them under the Plan. 
 A majority of the members of the Committee or Investment Council at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. All resolutions adopted and other actions taken by the Committee or Investment Council shall be by a majority vote of their members taken either at a meeting or by polling all such members. 

The Committee or Investment Council may certify to the Trustee, by majority vote or action as provided for herein, the name of one member of the
Committee or Investment Council who is authorized to act on its behalf in its relationship with the Trustee. The Trustee is authorized to act pursuant to the written instructions of any member of the Committee or Investment Council so designated.

 11.5 Assistance 
 The
Committee and Investment Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may delegate any of its powers and duties under this Plan to one or more individuals or committees. In such a case, every reference herein to the Committee or Investment Council
shall be deemed to include such individuals as to matters within their jurisdiction. 
 The Committee and Investment Council shall also have the
authority and discretion to engage an administrative delegate who shall perform, without discretionary authority or control, administrative functions within the framework of policies, interpretations, rules, practices, and procedures made by the
Committee or Investment Council. 
 Any action made or taken by the administrative delegate may be appealed by an affected Member or Beneficiary
to the Committee in accordance with the claims review procedures provided in section 11.7. Any decisions that call for interpretations of Plan provisions not previously made by the Committee shall be made only by the Committee. The
administrative delegate shall not be considered a fiduciary with respect to the services it provides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrative delegate shall not be relieved of any liability to the Plan or an Employer, Member, or
Beneficiary arising from any action (or failure to act) that is judicially determined to result from the administrative delegate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 In addition, the Investment Council may, at its discretion, appoint one or more investment managers, each of whom will have full power and authority to manage, acquire, or dispose (or direct the Trustee
with respect to acquisition or disposition) of any Plan asset under its control. For purposes of this section, “investment manager” means any person, firm, or 

  
 70 









 
corporation who is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a bank, or an insurance company, and who (a) has the power to manage, acquire, or dispose
of Plan assets, and (b) acknowledges in writing his or her fiduciary responsibility to the Plan. 
 11.6 Administration 

The Committee shall have all powers necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Plan. It may, from time to time, establish rules for the
administration of the Plan and the transaction of the Plan’s business. 
 In making any determination or rule, the Committee shall pursue
uniform policies established by it. The Committee shall not discriminate in favor of or against any Member. The Committee shall have the exclusive right to make any finding of fact necessary or appropriate for any purpose under the Plan including,
but not limited to, the determination of the eligibility for and the amount of any benefit payable under the Plan. 
 The Committee shall have
the right to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan or in connection with the administration thereof, including, without limitation, the right to remedy or resolve possible
ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions, by general rule or particular decision. The Committee shall make, or cause to be made, all reports or other filings necessary to meet the reporting, disclosure, and other filing requirements of ERISA that
are the responsibility of “plan administrators” under ERISA. 
 To the extent permitted by law, all findings of fact, determinations,
interpretations, and decisions of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest or right under the Plan. 
 In carrying out its responsibilities hereunder, the Committee shall have the utmost discretion permitted by law. 
 11.7 Appeals from Denial of Claims 
 If any claim for benefits under the Plan is wholly or
partially denied, the claimant shall be given notice of the denial. This notice shall be in writing within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim by the Committee. This period will not exceed 90 days after receipt of the claim,
except that if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time, the period may be extended up to an additional 90 days. Written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to termination of
the initial 90-day period, and it shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the benefit determination is expected. 
 Notice of any claim denial shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall set forth the following information: 

  
 71 










	(a)	the specific reasons for the denial; 

  

	(b)	specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

  

	(c)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why this material or information is
necessary; 

  

	(d)	an explanation that a full and fair review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim may be requested by the claimant or his or her authorized representative
by filing with the Committee, within 60 days after the notice has been received, a written request for the review; and 

  

	(e)	a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse decision upon review. 


If a claimant files a written request for review of a denied claim, the claimant or his or her representative may request, free of charge, reasonable
access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim and may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim within the 60-day period specified in section 11.7(d). The
notice of claim denial shall include a statement of the claimant’s rights to review and submit information pursuant to this paragraph. 

The review by the Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the
claim without regard to whether such material was submitted or considered as part of the initial determination. The decision of the Committee upon review shall be made promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Committee’s receipt of the
request for review. However, if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time, this period may be extended up to an additional 60 days. Written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to
termination of the initial 60-day period, and it shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the decision on review is expected. 
 If the claim is denied, wholly or in part, the claimant shall be given a copy of the decision promptly. The decision shall be in writing and shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant. The decision shall include specific reasons for the denial; specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a statement that the claimant may request, free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of
all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim; and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a). 
 11.8 Notice of Address and Missing Persons 
 Each person entitled to benefits under the Plan
must file with the Committee, in writing, his or her post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to such a person at his or her latest reported post office


  
 72 









 
address will be binding upon him or her for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee, the Company, Affiliates, or Trustee shall not be obliged to search for or ascertain such person’s
whereabouts. If a person cannot be located, the Committee may direct that his or her benefit and all further benefits with respect to such person shall be discontinued and all liability for the payment thereof shall terminate. However, in the event
of the subsequent reappearance of the Member or Beneficiary prior to termination of the Plan, the benefits that were due and payable shall be paid in a single sum, and the future benefits due such person shall be reinstated in full. 

11.9 Data and Information for Benefits 

All persons claiming benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Committee such documents, evidence, or information as the Committee considers necessary
or desirable to administer the Plan. Any such person must furnish this information promptly and sign any documents the Committee may require before any benefits become payable under the Plan. 
 11.10 Effect of a Mistake 
 In the event of a mistake or misstatement as to the eligibility,
participation, or service of any Member, or the amount of payments made or to be made to a Member or Beneficiary, the Committee shall, if possible, cause such payment amounts to be withheld, accelerated, or otherwise adjusted as will in its sole
judgment result in the Member or Beneficiary receiving the proper amount of payments under this Plan. Any such adjustments shall be made in accordance with the correction principles established by the Internal Revenue Service under the Employee
Plans Compliance Resolution System or other applicable guidance. 
 11.11 Indemnity for Liability 

To the extent permitted by law, the agents, representatives, directors, officers, and Employees of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company against
any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses (including counsel fees), and any other liability (including any amounts paid in settlement with the Company’s approval) arising from such individuals’ action or conduct relating to Plan
administration. The Company is not liable to indemnify these persons against such claims, losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities when the same is judicially determined to be attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company
shall pay the premiums on any bond secured under this section and shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other Employers for their proportionate share. 

  
 73 









 Article 12. Trust Arrangements 
 12.1 Appointment of Trustee 
 A Trustee for the Plan shall be named in the Trust Agreement,

 12.2 Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Other Trustee 
 The Company reserves the right to remove the Trustee and to appoint a successor Trustee upon giving 60 days prior written notice to the Trustee, or upon any other date mutually agreed to by the
Company and the Trustee.

 12.4

in its sole discretion, and shall not revert to or inure to the benefit of an Employer, except as provided in section 12.5. 
 12.5

 Article 13. Top-Heavy Plan Provisions 
 13.1Top-Heavy Determination 
 The top-heavy provisions of this Article shall be applied as
follows. 
  

	(a)	Single Plan Determination. Except as provided in section 13.1(b)(2) below, if as of the Applicable Determination Date the aggregate amount of the Account
balances of Key Employees under the Plan exceeds 60 percent of the aggregate amount of the Account balances of all Employees (other than former Key Employees) under the Plan, the Plan will be top-heavy, and the provisions of this Article shall
become applicable. For the purposes of this Article— 

  

	 	(1)	Account balances shall include the aggregate amount of any distributions made with respect to the Employee during the five-year period (or one-year period for
distributions made on account of severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on the Applicable Determination Date and any contribution due but unpaid as of said Applicable Determination Date; and 


 

	 	(2)	the Account balance of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer or the Affiliates at any time during the one-year period ending on the Applicable
Determination Date shall not be taken into account. 

 The determination of the foregoing ratio, including the
extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers shall be taken into account, shall be made in accordance with Code section 416. 
  

	(b)	Aggregation Group Determination. 

  

	 	(1)	If as of the Applicable Determination Date the Plan is a member of a Required Aggregation Group which is top-heavy, the provisions of this Article shall become
applicable. For purposes of this section 13.1(b), an Aggregation Group shall be top-heavy, as of the Applicable Determination Date, if the sum of— 

  

	 	(A)	the aggregate amount of account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in such group, and 


 

	 	(B)	the present value of accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in such group 


exceeds 60 percent of the same amounts determined for all Employees (other than former Key Employees) under all plans included within the
Aggregation Group. Account balances and accrued benefits shall be adjusted for any distribution made in the five-year period (or one-year period for distributions made on account of severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on


  
 75 









 
the Applicable Determination Date and any contribution due but unpaid as of the Applicable Determination Date. The account balance of any individual who has not performed services for the
Employer or the Affiliates at any time during the one-year period ending on the Applicable Determination Date shall not be taken into account. The determination of the foregoing ratio, including the extent to which distributions (including
distributions from terminated plans), rollovers, and transfers are taken into account, shall be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. 
  


	 	(2)	If the Plan is top-heavy under section 13.1(a) above, but the Aggregation Group is not top-heavy, this Article shall not be applicable. 


 

	(c)	The Committee. The Committee shall have responsibility to make all calculations to determine whether the Plan is top-heavy. 


13.2 Definitions 
 For purposes of this
Article, the following definitions apply. 
  

	(a)	Aggregation Group means a required aggregation group or a permissive aggregation group as follows. 


 

	 	(1)	Required Aggregation Group. All plans maintained by the Company and Affiliates in which a Key Employee participates shall be aggregated to determine whether the
plans, as a group, are top-heavy. Each other plan of the Company and Affiliates which enables this Plan to meet the requirements of Code section 401(a) or section 410 shall also be aggregated. 


 

	 	(2)	Permissive Aggregation Group. One or more plans maintained by the Company and Affiliates, which are not required to be aggregated, may be aggregated with each
other or with plans under section 13.2(a)(1) if such group would continue to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410 with such plan(s) being taken into account. 


 

	(b)	Applicable Determination Date shall mean, with respect to the Plan, the Determination Date for the Plan Year of reference and, with respect to any other plan,
the Determination Date for any plan year of such plan which falls within such calendar year as the Applicable Determination Date of the Plan. 

  

	(c)	Determination Date shall mean, with respect to the initial plan year of a plan, the last day of such plan year and, with respect to any other plan year of a
plan, the last day of the preceding plan year of such plan. 

  

	(d)	Key Employee means a Member or Beneficiary of such Member, if such Member for the Plan Year containing the Determination Date is— 


  
 76 










	 	(1)	an officer of the Company or an Affiliate who has annual Compensation greater than $165,000 (as indexed from time to time in accordance with Code section 416(i));


  

	 	(2)	a 5-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate; or 

  

	 	(3)	a 1-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate having annual Compensation of more than $150,000. 


Ownership shall be determined in accordance with Code section 416(i)(1)(B) and (C). Any Employee who is not a Key Employee shall
be a “non-key Employee” for purposes of applying this Article 13. 
  

	(e)	Compensation means, for all purposes under this Article 13, an Employee’s “Compensation” as determined under section 2.13(b). In no event
shall an Employee’s Compensation under this Article 13 exceed the limit described in section 2.13(f). 

 13.3
Vesting Requirements 
 If the Plan is determined to be top-heavy with respect to a Plan Year, then a Member’s interest in his or her
Account shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

					
	 Years of Vesting Service
	  	Vested Percentage	 
	 Fewer than 1
	  	 	0	% 
	 1 but fewer than 2
	  	 	20	% 
	 2 but fewer than 3
	  	 	40	% 
	 3 or more
	  	 	100	% 

 If in a subsequent Plan Year, the Plan is no longer top-heavy, the vesting provisions that were in effect prior to the
time the Plan became top-heavy shall be reinstated. However, the Member’s Vested Percentage following such reinstatement (with respect to the Member’s Account both before and after the reinstatement) shall not be reduced below the
Member’s Vested Percentage immediately before such reinstatement. 
 13.4 Minimum Contribution 

For each Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is top-heavy, the minimum amount contributed by the Employer under the Plan for the benefit of each
Participant who is not a Key Employee and who is otherwise eligible for such a contribution shall be the lesser of— 
  

	(a)	3 percent of the non-key Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year, or 


  
 77 










	(b)	the non-key Participant’s Compensation times a percentage equal to the largest percentage of such Compensation allocated under such plan with respect to any Key
Employee for the Plan Year. 

 Matching Contributions allocated to Key Employees shall be treated as an allocation of
contributions by an Employer under this section 13.4. However, if Matching Contributions to non-key Employees are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirement under this section 13.4, these Matching Contributions shall not be
tested under section 5.8, and they must otherwise satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code section 401(a)(4). 
 This
minimum contribution is determined without regard to any Social Security contribution. This minimum contribution shall be made on behalf of each non-key Employee who has not separated from service before the end of the Plan Year, without regard to
whether the non-key Employee declines to make any mandatory contributions that may be required by the Plan. Contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement shall be taken into account only with respect to contributions made
on behalf of Key Employees. The minimum contribution provisions stated above shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year. 

This section 13.4 shall not apply to a Participant covered under a qualified defined benefit plan or a qualified defined contribution plan maintained by
the Company or an Affiliate if the Participant’s vested benefit thereunder satisfies the requirements of Code section 416(c). Amounts contributed under this section shall be credited to a Member’s Retirement Contributions Account.

 13.5 Union Employees 
 The
requirements of this Article 13 shall not apply with respect to any Employee included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement between Employee representatives and an Employer if retirement benefits were the subject of
good faith bargaining between such Employee representatives and the Employer. 

  
 78 









 Article 14. Participation in and Withdrawal from Plan by an Affiliate 

14.1 Participation in Plan 
 Any Affiliate
that desires to become an Employer hereunder may elect, with the consent of the Company, to become a party to the Plan by— 
  

	(a)	having its board of directors adopt the Plan for the benefit of its eligible Employees effective as of the date specified in the adoption resolution; and


  

	(b)	by filing with the Company a certified copy of such resolution, together with any other instruments that the Company may require. 


The Company shall then file with the Trustee a copy of the Affiliate’s adoption resolution, together with the Company’s written approval of the
adoption. 
 The adoption resolution may contain any specific changes and variations in Plan or Trust Agreement terms and provisions applicable
to the adopting Employer and its Employees that are acceptable to the Company and the Trustee. However, the sole, exclusive right of any other amendment to the Plan or Trust Agreement is reserved by the Company. The Company may not amend specific
changes and variations in the Plan or Trust Agreement terms and provisions as adopted by the Employer in its adoption resolution without the consent of the Employer. The adoption resolution shall become, as to the adopting organization and its
Employees, a part of this Plan and the related Trust Agreement. It shall not be necessary for the adopting organization to sign or execute the original or amended Plan and Trust Agreement documents. 

The effective date of the Plan for any adopting Affiliate shall be that stated in the resolution of adoption. From and after this effective date, the
adopting Affiliate shall assume all the rights, obligations, and liabilities of an individual Employer entity under the Plan and Trust Agreement. 
 The administrative powers and control of the Company, as provided in the Plan and Trust Agreement, including the sole right of amendment, and of appointment and removal of the Trustee, and its successors,
shall not be diminished by reason of the participation of any adopting Affiliate in the Plan. 
 14.2 Withdrawal from Plan 

Any Employer, by action of its board of directors or other governing authority, may withdraw from the Plan and Trust Agreement after giving 90 days’
notice to the Company, provided the Company consents to the withdrawal. Distribution may be implemented through continuation of the Trust Fund, or transfer to another trust fund exempt from tax under Code section 501, or to a group annuity
contract qualified under Code section 401, or distribution may be made as an immediate cash payment in accordance with the directions of the Committee. However, no action shall divert any part of the fund to any purpose other than the exclusive
benefit of the Employees of the Employer. Additionally, no such action shall be inconsistent with the requirements of Code sections 401(a).

 Article 15. Miscellaneous 
 15.1 Incompetency 
 Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be
conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the Committee receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to it, that the person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian, conservator, or other person legally vested
with the care of his or her estate has been appointed. If the Committee finds that any person to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care properly for his or her affairs, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother, or a sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to
payment. 
 If a guardian or conservator of the estate of any person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan is appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction, payments shall be made to such guardian or conservator if proper proof of the appointment is furnished in a form and manner suitable to the Committee. 
 To the extent permitted by law, any payment made under the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of liability under the Plan. 

15.2 Nonalienation of Benefits 
 Except
as provided in Code section 401(a)(13), no benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or encumbrance of any kind. Any attempt to
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber any such benefit, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. The Trust Fund under the Plan shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of
any Member or Beneficiary entitled to any benefit. 
 The preceding paragraph shall also apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a
right to any interest or benefit payable with respect to a Member pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless the order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)). The Committee shall
establish reasonable written procedures to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders. 
 15.3 No Guarantee of Employment 
 Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any
Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Company or an Affiliate or to interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge or retire any Employee at any time. 

  
 80 









 15.4 Applicable Law 
 To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the Plan shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of South Carolina. 
 15.5 Severability 
 If a provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included in this Plan. 

15.6 Rights to Trust Assets 
 No Employee
or Beneficiary shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Trust Fund upon termination of employment or otherwise, except as specifically provided under the Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits payable under the Plan to
the Employee or Beneficiary out of the assets of the Trust Fund. All payments of benefits under this Plan shall be made solely out of assets of the Trust Fund, and the Employers, the Affiliates, or any fiduciary shall not be liable therefor in any
manner. 
 15.7 Military Service 

Effective December 12, 1994, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with
respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with the mandatory provisions of Code section 414(u). 
 15.8
Titles 
 The titles of sections are included only for convenience and shall not be construed as part of this Plan or in any respect
affecting or modifying its provisions.
