 THE SAVINGS PLAN FOR LILLY AFFILIATE 

EMPLOYEES IN PUERTO RICO 
 Effective December 31, 2010 
 ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE 

Because of legal and administrative reasons, effective December 31, 2010, Lilly del Caribe, Inc. establishes The Savings Plan for Lilly Affiliate
Employees in Puerto Rico (the “Plan”) for the purposes of helping eligible employees, and those of its affiliated companies that adopt the Plan, including Eli Lilly Export S.A., Puerto Rican Branch, to provide additional security for their
retirement by affording such employees the means of making regular savings from their current income through payroll deductions and by providing employer contributions to be added to such savings. Pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Service Revenue
Ruling 2008-40, shortly after the establishment of the Plan, all of the accounts of the participants in the Savings Plan for Eli Lilly Affiliate Employees in Puerto Rico will be transferred to the Plan in the name of such participants. 

The Plan includes two portions: (i) a portion of the Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) intended to be a profit sharing plan containing a
cash or deferred arrangement; and (ii) a portion of the Plan intended to be an ESOP designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer securities. It is the intention of the Company that the Profit-Sharing Plan shall be a profit-sharing plan
that is qualified under Sections 1165(a) and (e) of the Code; that the ESOP shall be both a stock bonus plan and an employee stock ownership plan that is qualified under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(h) of the Code and described in
Section 407(d)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); that the Profit-Sharing Plan and the ESOP together shall constitute a single plan for Puerto Rico qualification purposes; that the Plan
shall satisfy the requirements of ERISA; and that the Trust Fund maintained under the Plan shall be tax-exempt from Puerto Rico and U.S. taxation under Code Section 1165(a) and, pursuant to ERISA Section 1022(i)(1), under
Section 501(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, respectively. It is also intended that the Plan meet all the requirements of ERISA and be a participant directed plan pursuant to the provisions of ERISA Section 404(c).

	3.02.	Election of Salary Reduction Contributions. 

 Each Participant electing to have his Employer contribute a Salary Reduction Contribution or Catch-up Contribution on his behalf with respect to a Plan Year shall file with the Employee Benefits Committee
on a prescribed form an election that shall designate the percentage of his Earnings (within the limits stated in subsection 3.01) to be contributed and shall authorize the Employer to reduce his Earnings by such amount. If any of the amounts
described in paragraph (d)(2) of subsection 3.03 have been contributed on a Participant’s behalf for the Participant’s taxable year to which his Salary Reduction Contribution or Catch-up Contribution election applies, the Participant shall

concerning the contributions as the Employee Benefits Committee shall require. 

  
 - 16 -









 Said election must be filed with the Employee Benefits Committee prior to the commencement
of the Plan Year for which it is made and by the date specified for such filing by the Employee Benefits Committee; provided, however, that when an Employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the election shall be filed by the
fifteenth (15th) day of the month preceding the month in which he becomes eligible to participate, and provided further that in the case of a reemployed former Participant described in subsection 2.06, the election shall be filed on the date of
reemployment. 
 A Participant who is eligible to make an election on a date described in the preceding paragraph, whether or not
he elected to have any Salary Reduction Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf on such date, may make or change his election semi-monthly by filing a form prescribed for such purpose with the Employee Benefits Committee. 

 

	3.03.	Limitations on Salary Reduction Contributions 

  

	(a)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) made on behalf of all
eligible Highly Compensated Employees with respect to any Plan Year result in an actual deferral percentage for such group of Employees that exceeds the greater of (1) or (2) below, where: 


 

	 	(1)	is an amount equal to 125 percent of the actual deferral percentage for all Employees eligible to participate in the Plan other than eligible Highly Compensated
Employees; and 

  

	 	(2)	is an amount equal to the sum of the actual deferral percentage for all Employees eligible to participate in the Plan other than eligible Highly Compensated Employees
and two percent (2%); provided that such amount does not exceed 200 percent of the actual deferral percentage for all Employees eligible to participate in the Plan other than eligible Highly Compensated Employees. 


 

	(b)	For purposes of this subsection 3.03, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 


 

	 	(1)	“Highly Compensated Employee” means any Employee who, determined on the basis of Plan Earnings for each Plan Year, has greater Plan Earnings than two-thirds
of all other eligible employees, or as otherwise defined under the Code. 

  

	 	(2)	“Actual deferral percentage” with respect to any specified group of Employees for a Plan Year shall mean the average of the ratios (calculated separately for
each Employee in such group) of 

  

	 	(A)	the amount of Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) paid to the Plan on behalf of each such Employee for such Plan Year, to



  
 - 17 -










	 	(B)	the Employee’s Earnings. 


If any Highly Compensated Employee is a Participant under two (2) or more qualified cash or deferred arrangements (as defined in
Section 1165(e) of the Code) of the Employer or an Affiliate, for purposes of determining the actual deferral percentage for any such Employee, all Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) made under such
qualified cash or deferred arrangements during the Plan Year shall be aggregated. 
  

	(c)	In the event that it is determined prior to the first day of any Plan Year or during the course of any Plan Year that the amount of Salary Reduction Contributions
elected by the Highly Compensated Employees to be contributed to the Plan would cause the actual deferral percentage limitations described in subsection 3.03(a) to be exceeded, then the Salary Reduction Contribution elected by each Highly
Compensated Employee shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet such limitations. 

  

	(d)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant’s Salary Reduction Contribution (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) to the Plan for any
calendar year may not exceed: 

  

	 	(1)	the limitation imposed by Section 1165(e)(7)(A) of the Code, or any other applicable section of the Code, reduced to the extent required by subsection
7.01(b)(2)(D) hereof, and further reduced by 

  

	 	(2)	any employer contribution under a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Section 1165(e) of the Code), to the extent not includable in the
Participant’s gross income for the taxable year under Section 1022(b) of the Code (determined without regard to Section 1165(e)(7)(A) of the Code),that were contributed on behalf of the Participant, for the Participant’s taxable
year commencing in the calendar year, under a plan other than this Plan, provided, however, that if the plan, contract, or arrangement described in this paragraph (d)(2) is not maintained by the Company or an affiliate, no contribution made
under such plan, contract, or arrangement shall reduce the dollar limit in paragraph (d)(1), above, unless the Participant has disclosed to the Employee Benefits Committee the information required under subsection 3.02, above, concerning such
contribution. 

  

	(e)	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual deferral percentage limitations described in subsection 3.03(a) may be satisfied by combining the Salary
Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) under the Plan with the salary reduction contributions under any other plan maintained by a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in




  
 - 18 -










	 	 
subsection 1.01(a)(24)(A)(ii)) of which an Employer is a member to the extent required or permitted under Section 1165(e) of the Code or the regulations thereunder.



  

	3.04.	Return of Excess Deferrals and Excess Salary Reduction Contributions. 


 

	(a)	If a Participant’s elective deferrals (as defined in Section 1165(e) of the Code) for the Participant’s taxable year under this Plan or under any other
plan in which the Participant has participated during the taxable year exceed the limit imposed by Section 1165(e)(7)(A) of the Code, the following rules shall apply to such excess deferrals: 


 

	 	(1)	Not later than April 1 following the close of the taxable year, the Participant may allocate to the Plan all or any portion of the Participant’s excess
deferrals for the taxable year (provided that the amount of the excess deferrals allocated to the Plan shall not exceed the amount of the Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) to the Plan for
the Plan Year ending in the taxable year that have not been withdrawn or distributed), and may notify the Employee Benefits Committee, in writing, of the amount allocated to the; and 


 

	 	(2)	As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the first April 15 following the close of the taxable year, the Plan shall distribute to the Participant the
amount allocated to the Plan under paragraph (a)(1), above, and any income for the Plan Year attributable to such amount, determined in accordance with applicable Code Regulations. The distribution described in this paragraph (a)(2) shall be made
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan. 

  

	(b)	After any excess deferrals (and income attributable thereto, determined in accordance with applicable Code Regulations) have been allocated to the Plan and distributed
in accordance with paragraph (a), above, if the actual deferral percentage for the Plan Year of those Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the applicable limit imposed by subsection 3.03(a), above, the amount of the Excess
Salary Reduction Contributions, and any income attributable to such contributions, may be, at the sole discretion of the Employer, distributed before the first March 15 following the close of the Plan Year to Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees, on the basis of the respective portions of the Excess Salary Reduction Contributions attributable to each such Participant. 

 The amount of the Excess Salary Reduction Contributions to be distributed under this paragraph (b) for a Plan Year with respect to a Participant shall be reduced by any excess deferrals previously
distributed from the Plan to such Participant for the Plan Year. 

  
 - 19 -









 The Excess Salary Reduction Contributions shall be distributed to Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contribution by, or on behalf of, each Highly Compensated Employee in accordance with applicable Code Regulations. 

 

	(c)	Amounts distributed under paragraphs (a) and (b), above, shall be deemed to have been made from that portion of the Participant’s Salary Reduction
Contributions not eligible for a Matching Contribution , to the extent that the Participant has unmatched Salary Reduction Contributions for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 3.06(a), below, in the event that a distribution
of matched Salary Reduction Contributions is required, the Matching Contribution amount related to the distributed Salary Reduction Contribution amount shall be forfeited. 


 

	3.04.A	Qualified Nonelective and Matching Contributions. 

  

	(a)	Allocation of Qualified Nonelective Contributions. On behalf of each Participant who is not a Highly Compensated Participant, an Employer may, in its sole
discretion, make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution equal to a percentage between 0% and 10% of each eligible Puerto Rico Participant’s Earnings, the exact percentage to be determined each year by the Employer. For purposes of this Section,
the term “Qualified Nonelective Contributions” shall mean any Employer contributions with respect to which (i) the Employee may not elect to have the contribution paid to the Employee in cash instead of being contributed to the Plan,
(ii) are fully vested, and (iii) are distributable at the same time as Salary Reduction Contributions. 


The Employer shall have the sole discretion to designate which Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees, if any, shall
receive a Qualified Nonelective Contribution, if any, for any Plan Year. 
  

	(b)	Allocation of Qualified Matching Contributions. The Employee Benefits Committee may elect in any Plan Year to treat all or a part of the Employer Matching
Contributions for such Plan Year as a Qualified Matching Contribution subject to the restrictions of this Section. For purposes of this Section, the term “Qualified Matching Contributions” shall mean the Employer Matching Contributions
(pursuant to Plan Section 3.06 and 18.04, respectively) with respect to which (i) are fully vested, and (ii) are distributable at the same time as Salary Reduction Contributions. 


 

	(c)	Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions shall be deemed Salary Reduction Contributions for purposes of satisfying the ADP Test set
forth in Section 3.03.A. 


  
 - 20 -










	3.05.	Nonforfeitability of Contributions 

 A Participant shall be fully vested at all times in his Salary Reduction Contributions and any accumulated earnings thereon. 

 

	3.06.	Employer Contributions 

  

	(a)	Matching Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 3.06, an Employer shall contribute to the Plan on behalf of its Employees for
each month a Matching Contribution in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of its Employees’ Salary Reduction Contributions for such month; provided, however, that in no event shall Matching Contributions be made with respect to
(1) Salary Reduction Contributions that exceed six percent (6%) of a Participant’s Earnings, (2) Salary Reduction Contributions that exceed the limit set forth in subsection 3.03(d), above, or (3) Excess Salary Reduction
Contributions; and provided further that in no event shall Matching Contributions be made to the extent that such contributions would cause the contribution percentage limit set forth in subsection 3.06(d) to be exceeded. An Employer shall make its
Matching Contributions on a monthly basis. A Matching Contribution shall be made by an Employer only out of its current or retained earnings and profits (except as provided in subsection 3.06(c)(2), below). The Matching Contributions shall be
allocated among the Participants’ Accounts in the proportion that each Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions bear to the aggregate Salary Reduction Contributions for the month. 


 

	(b)	Reserved. 

  

	(c)	Contributions Charged to Employers. 

  

	 	(1)	Charged Against Employer Earnings. Except as provided in subparagraph (2) of this subsection 3.06(c), the contributions made by Employers in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 3.06(a) for the months occurring within each Plan Year shall be charged among such Employers and paid by each such Employer from its own current or retained earnings on the basis that such contributions
are credited to the Accounts of Participants who are employed by it during the months of the taxable year for which the contributions are made. 

  

	 	(2)	 Employers Without Earnings. In the event that any Employer is prevented from making all or any part of the contribution that it would
otherwise have made under the Profit-Sharing Plan, as above provided, by reason of having no current or retained earnings for such taxable year, or because its current and retained earnings for such taxable year are insufficient to make the required
contribution, then such contribution that such Employer was so prevented from making, 



  
 - 21 -










	 	 
or so much of such contribution that is in excess of said Employer’s current and retained earnings for such taxable year, shall be made for said Employer by the other Employers who are
members of the same “affiliated group” who have current or retained earnings for such taxable year. If there is more than one other such Employer who has current or retained earnings for such taxable year, then said prevented contributions
shall be charged and paid by such Employer(s) as may be determined pursuant to agreement between such Employers, consistent with requirements for deduction of such contribution under applicable provisions of the Code. 



 

	 	(3)	Forfeitures. Forfeitures that arise under the Plan shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts on the basis of their Salary Reduction Contributions for any
Plan Year in which the Employers have elected to make Matching Contributions to the Plan. Forfeitures allocated in this manner shall be treated as Matching Contributions, whichever is applicable, and shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts
in the manner described in paragraph (a), above. The forfeiture allocations described in this paragraph (c)(3) shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount of the Matching Contributions that otherwise would be allocated to the Participant pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this subsection 3.06. 

  

	(d)	Reserved. 

  

	(e)	Form of Contributions. The Employers may, at their election, make all or any part of any Matching Contributions in cash or Shares. The Shares so contributed
shall have a fair market value equal to the amount of such Matching Contributions (or portion thereof). The fair market value of a Share shall be the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price per share for a 100 share lot of Eli Lilly
and Company Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues on the date of payment to the Trustee. 

  

	(f)	Contributions to the ESOP. The Employers may, at their election, make a Matching Contribution to the ESOP pursuant to subsection 18.04 in lieu of all or a
portion of the Matching Contribution otherwise required under this subsection 3.06. The amount of the Matching Contribution otherwise required to be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 3.06 with respect to a Participant shall be
reduced, dollar for dollar, by the value of any Shares (or the amount of any cash) allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account by reason of a Matching Contribution to the ESOP for the Plan Year. The value of the Shares that are allocated to a
Member’s ESOP Account for any Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with subsection 18.04 and subsection 18.13, below. 


  
 - 22 -










	(g)	Deductibility. All Matching Contributions to the Profit-Sharing Plan are conditioned on the deductibility of the contributions under Section 1023(n) of the
Code for the taxable year with respect to which the contributions were made. 

  

	3.07.	Reserved. 

  

	3.08.	Contributions Not Recoverable by Employer 

 The Trustee shall hold the contributions received by it under subsection 3.06 for the respective Participants subject to the provisions of the Plan. No such contribution shall be recoverable by the
Employers, except as provided in subsection 3.09. 
  

	3.09.	Return of Employer Contributions 

 In the event that an Employer Contribution made pursuant to subsection 3.06 
  

	(a)	is made under a mistake of fact, or 

  

	(b)	is disallowed as a deduction under Section 1023(n) of the Code for the taxable year with respect to which it was made, the contribution shall, at the option of
such Employer, and to the extent permitted by ERISA, be returned to such Employer within one (1) year after the payment of the contribution or the disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed), whichever is applicable. The amount
returned shall not be increased to reflect any investment earnings, but shall be decreased to reflect any losses. If the amount returned to such Employer would cause the balance of any Participant’s Account to be less than the balance would
have been had the returned contribution never been made, the amount to be returned shall be limited to prevent such loss. 

  

	3.10.	Rollover Contributions  

  

	(a)	A Participant who has received or may receive a distribution of his interest in a tax-qualified plan (within the meaning of Code Section 1165(a)) of a former
employer under circumstances meeting the requirements for tax-free rollover or direct rollover under the Code, may elect to deposit all of the amount of such distribution as a “rollover contribution” to the Plan, or may elect to have a
“direct rollover contribution” made to the Plan. A Participant shall at all times be fully vested in any amounts rolled over into the Plan pursuant to this paragraph. All amounts rolled over into the Plan by a Participant will be placed in
his Rollover Account. 

  

	(b)	For purposes of Section V, a Participant’s Rollover contributions will be considered Salary Reduction Contributions. 


  
 - 23 -










	(c)	For purposes of Plan subsection 10.01(a)(2), a Participant may elect a payment options described in subsection 10.01(a)(3) with respect to his Rollover Account.

under Section 404(c) of ERISA, (ii) that is a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, (iii) that would generate income that would be taxable to the Plan; or (iv) where the Participant may be engaging in
disruptive, frequent, or excessive trading that violates the policies and procedures of a registered mutual fund or other investment option available as a Fund under the Plan. 
 The Employee Benefits Committee may establish rules and procedures that impose or implement restrictions or limitations on Participant investment directions under this Section V, including, without
limitation, restrictions or limitations that apply to specific Funds, and may refuse to implement any direction that violates its rules and procedures.

 In addition to the separate accounting required by subsection 6.01, the Employee Benefits Committee shall maintain a separate account for each Participant that shows his interest in the Funds. Such
Participant’s proportionate interest in each Fund (other than the Investment Window) shall be represented by “Units of Participation,” hereinafter called “Units.” The Employee Benefits Committee shall assign Units of
Participation in the Company Stock Fund to any Suspense Account maintained pursuant to subsection 18.13 hereof, based on the Suspense Account’s proportionate interest in the Company Stock Fund at the time of the determination. 

 

	6.03.	Value of Units 


When each Fund is first established, each Unit shall be valued at one dollar ($1.00). Thereafter, the Employee Benefits Committee shall
determine the value of a Unit in each Fund on a daily basis. Such value will be determined by dividing the sum of uninvested cash and the fair market value of securities (redemption value in the case of United States Savings Bonds and principal plus
accrued interest in the case of investment contracts) as determined by the Employee Benefits Committee, by the total number of Units of the Fund. This subsection does not apply to the Investment Window described in subsection 5.09.

taxable year of the withdrawal. 

  

	 	(3)	The amount of the withdrawal shall be deducted from the Participant’s Account and the remaining portion of such account shall then become the total value of the
Participant’s Account. 

  

	 	(4)	Withdrawals shall be made in cash only. Withdrawals shall be made on a pro rata basis from all the Funds in which the Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions
and Catch-Up Contributions are then invested. 

  

	 	(5)	In no event shall the amount of the withdrawal exceed 100 percent of (i) the Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions and
(ii) any earnings on Salary Reduction Contributions credited to the Participant’s Account (less any amount described in paragraphs (i) or (ii) herein previously withdrawn from the Participant’s Account).

Contributions. 

  

	8.04.	General Provisions Applicable to Withdrawals

withdrawals of Employer Contributions or Prior Employer Contributions, before April 1, 2011 (or such later date in 2011 as determined in writing by the senior-most Vice President of Human Resources of Eli Lilly and Company in his sole
discretion), a Participant may indicate the investment Fund or Funds from which he wishes such withdrawal to be made. If the Participant fails to indicate a preference, or if the Participant’s wishes cannot be complied with, the withdrawal

 SECTION X. PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OF 

EMPLOYMENT 
  

	10.01.	Terms of Payment 

  

	(a)	General. Upon termination of employment, a Participant, or, in a proper case, his designated beneficiary or legal representative, shall be entitled to payment
from his Participant’s Account in accordance with the following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	(1)	Resignation or Dismissal. Upon resignation or dismissal, a Participant shall be entitled to payment from his Participant’s Account as follows:


  

	 	(A)	Amount of Payment. A Participant who resigns or is dismissed from employment shall be entitled to receive his vested interest in his Participant’s
Account. His vested interest shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: 

  

	 	(i)	General Rule. A Participant who is credited with an Hour of Service for the Employer on or after January 1, 2009 shall have a 100% vested interest in his
Participant’s Account upon completing 2 Years of Service. Until that time, he shall have no vested interest in his Participant’s Account. 

  

	 	(ii)	General Rule. A Participant who first performs an Hour of Service for the Employer on or after June 1, 2005 shall have a one hundred percent (100%) vested
interest in his Participant’s Account upon completing three (3) Years of Service. Until that time, he shall have no vested interest in his Participant’s Account. 


  
 - 39 -










	 	(iii)	Special Rule. A Participant who performed an Hour of Service for the Employer prior to June 1, 2005 shall have a vested interest in his Participant’s Account
in accordance with the following schedule: 

  

			
	 Years of Service
	  	 Vested Interest

	 Less than 1
	  	0%
	 1
	  	20%
	 2
	  	40%
	 3 or more
	  	100%

  

	 	(iv)	Change in Vesting Schedule. If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the vested
percentage of a Participant’s Account, each Participant credited with at least 3 Years of Service may elect to have his vesting percentage determined under the pre-amendment vesting program. Such an election must be made within 60 days after
the latest of (1) the amendment adoption date, (2) the amendment effective date, or (3) the date the Participant is given written notice of the amendment by the Employer. No amendment to the Plan may have the effect of decreasing a
Participant’s vesting percentage determined without regard to such amendment as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted or the date such amendment becomes effective. In the event that a Participant who is eligible to make an election
under this Section fails to make such an election, the Participant shall be deemed to have made such an election to have his vesting percentage determined under the pre-amendment vesting schedule if his vested interest under the pre-amendment
vesting schedule would be greater than under the post-amendment vesting schedule immediately after the effective date of such amendment. 

 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in no event shall a change in the vesting schedule result in a cutback in violation of Section 1.411(d)-3(a)(3) of the Treasury regulations. 


  
 - 40 -










	 	(B)	Time and Method of Payment. Subject to subparagraph (4) and paragraph (b)(1), below, payment shall be made in a lump sum as soon as
practicable following the Participant’s resignation or dismissal. Notwithstanding subsection 8.03(b), any amount in which the Participant is not vested shall be forfeited immediately. Forfeitures arising under the preceding sentence shall be
used to reduce Employer Contributions as provided in subsection 3.06 or 18.04, or shall be used to reduce administrative expenses as provided in subsection 12.02(n). If a Participant who is less than 100 percent vested is reemployed and repays to
the Plan the full amount of the distribution before the earlier of (i) the date on which he incurs five (5) consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, or (ii) five years after the date of his reemployment, the balance of his
Participant’s Account as of the date of distribution, unadjusted for any subsequent gains and losses, shall be restored to him. If the present value of any Participant’s vested accrued benefit exceeds $1,000, and the Participant does not
consent to the distribution, then forfeiture of the Participant’s non-vested interest in the value of the Employer Contributions credited to his Participant’s Account shall be postponed until the Participant incurs five
(5) consecutive One Year Periods of Severance. If a former Employee of Elizabeth Arden Interamerica, Inc. is reemployed by Elizabeth Arden Interamerica, Inc. and becomes entitled to have the non-vested portion of his account reinstated under a
successor to the Plan, the Trustee shall transfer the non-vested portion of such employee’s account to the successor plan. 

  

	 	(C)	Valuation of the Participant’s Account. If the value of the Participant’s vested accrued benefit, determined as of the date on
which the recordkeeper is given notice that the Participant’s employment has terminated, does not exceed $1,000, then the value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the
initial determination; provided that, if the value of the Participant’s vested accrued benefit on the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the initial determination exceeds $1,000, then the value of the Participant’s Account
shall be determined as of the date on which the Employee Benefits Committee receives the Participant’s request for payment. If the value of the Participant’s vested accrued benefit, determined as of the date on which the recordkeeper is
given notice that the Participant’s employment has terminated, exceeds $1,000, then the value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which the Employee Benefits Committee receives the Participant’s request
for payment. 


  
 - 41 -










	 	(D)	Payment Not Treated as Withdrawal. Payment upon termination of employment shall not be treated as a withdrawal for purposes of Sections VII
and VIII. 

  

	 	(2)	Retirement and Disability. Upon retirement of the Participant under the Retirement Plan in which he participates, or upon the Participant’s
becoming a Disabled Employee, he, or his legal representative, may elect payment under option (A) or (B) of subsection 10.01(a)(3), below. The Participant’s election of a payment option shall be made on a form prescribed by the
Employee Benefits Committee. Upon attainment of age sixty-five (65), becoming a Disabled Employee, retirement, or death while employed by an Employer, a Participant shall be fully vested in the value of his entire Participant’s Account
regardless of the number of Years of Service he has completed. A Participant who has retired as described in the first sentence of this paragraph (2) shall be deemed to have retired under the Plan. 


 

	 	(3)	Payment Options. Payment upon retirement or Disability shall be made under one of the following options: 


 

	 	(A)	Lump Sum. Payment of the entire Participant’s Account with the value thereof to be calculated as of the date on which the Employee Benefits Committee
receives a Participant’s request for payment. Payment under this option may be made at any time not later than the last date of payment permitted by paragraph (b)(1), below. 


 

	 	(B)	Substantially Equal Periodic Payments. Substantially equal annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly payments of a specified proportion of the value of the
Units held at the date of retirement or Disability, the proportion to be determined on the basis of the life expectancy of the Participant or the joint life expectancies of the Participant and his surviving spouse, if any. The specified proportion
of the Participant’s Account to be paid to the Participant shall be calculated in accordance with guidance issued pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Code, and the value of the specified proportion of the Participant’s Account to
be paid to the Participant shall be calculated as of the date of each payment. In addition, a Participant who has elected payment under this paragraph (E) may elect at any time to accelerate the payment of all remaining payments into a single
lump-sum payment. For purposes of making the accelerated payment, the value of the Participant’s Account shall be calculated as of the date on which the Employee Benefits Committee receives the Participant’s request for payment.



  
 - 42 -










	 	(4)	Information Relevant To Payment Options. 

  

	 	(A)	Notice. No less than thirty (30) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date benefits are to commence, the Employee
Benefits Committee shall furnish to each Participant who is eligible to receive a distribution, information as applicable regarding: the Participant’s right to defer receipt of the distribution, the material features of the optional forms of
benefits under the Plan, and the Participant’s right to make (and the effect of) an election to receive benefits in a particular form. 

  

	 	(B)	Waiver of Notice. If the distribution is one to which Sections 201 and 205 of ERISA do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the
notice required under applicable regulations is given, provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Employee Benefits Committee clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the
notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 


 

	 	(5)	Living Trust. A Participant who retires or who becomes a Disabled Employee as described in paragraph (2) of this subsection 10.01(a), may elect that
distributions to be made to the Participant shall instead be made directly to a revocable grantor trust (a “living trust”), provided that such election is revocable and is in accordance with such other rules as may be prescribed by the
Employee Benefits Committee, and provided that the trustee of the living trust files a written acknowledgment with the Employee Benefits Committee that the living trust has no enforceable right in, or to, any benefit payment that has not yet been
made. 

  

	(b)	Time and Form of Payment. 

  

	 	(1)	Time of Payment. 

  

	 	(A)	 General. Upon termination of a Participant’s Service, payment shall be made, or in the case of a payment option requiring periodic
payments, payment shall commence, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the end of the calendar year in which such 



  
 - 43 -










	 	 
termination occurs unless the Participant elects to defer distributions. The failure to elect to commence distributions shall be deemed to be an election to defer distributions. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary, if the present value of any Participant’s vested accrued benefit exceeds $1,000, no immediate distribution shall be made without the consent of the Participant. 



 

	 	(B)	Retirement and Disability. If a Participant’s Service terminates as a result of his retirement or permanent Disability, the Participant may defer payment or
the commencement of payments until the first day of any month thereafter; provided that if the Participant wishes to defer payment or commencement of payment beyond his required beginning date as specified in paragraph (A), above, the Participant
shall withdraw, pursuant to subsection 10.01(b)(3) hereof, at least an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable required distribution rules with respect to each year for which such a distribution is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
present value of the vested potion of the Participant’s Account is $1,000 or less, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account will be distributed in a lump sum as soon as practicable. 


 

	 	(2)	Reserved. 

  

	(c)	Transfer to Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.01, a Participant whose employment with an Employer is terminated
but who is transferred from employment with an Employer to employment with Eli Lilly and Company, IVAC Corporation, or any other affiliate designated by the Employee Benefits Committee may elect, in accordance with uniform rules prescribed by the
Committee, that his Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be transferred by the Trustee to the trust under the savings plan maintained by such affiliate, provided that such plan is a plan intended to meet the requirements for qualification
under Section 1165(a) of the Code and that such trust is a trust intended to be exempt from tax under Section 1165(a) of the Code. 

  

	10.02.	Beneficiary and Payment Upon Death 

  

	(a)	 Beneficiary. Upon the death of a Participant while actively employed or upon his death after his retirement, his becoming a Disabled Employee,
his resignation, or his discharge, but prior to the receipt of any benefits hereunder, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account, determined as of the date of his death, shall be distributed to his beneficiary. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, (i) if the beneficiary of a deceased Participant , upon 



  
 - 44 -










	 	 
filing a written election with the Employee Benefits Committee, may have payment made on a date not later than December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date
of the Participant’s death. The sole beneficiary of a Participant who is married on the date of his death shall be the spouse to whom he is then married unless the Participant and such spouse have given their written notarized consent, in
accordance with rules prescribed by the Employee Benefits Committee, to the designation of another beneficiary or beneficiaries. The beneficiary or beneficiaries of any other Participant shall be the person or persons designated by the Participant
in a written notice filed with the Employee Benefits Committee, in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, designating such beneficiary or beneficiaries. A beneficiary may designate his own beneficiary by filing with the Employee Benefits
Committee a written notice designating, in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, such beneficiary. A Participant, but not a beneficiary, may designate a trust as his beneficiary by filing with the Employee Benefits Committee a written
notice designating, in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, such trust beneficiary; provided that a married Participant may designate a trust as his beneficiary only if the Participant and his spouse have given their written notarized
consent to the designation as specified above. 


  

	(b)	Change of Beneficiary; Receipt. A Participant may from time to time change or cancel any beneficiary designation; provided, however, that any
change or cancellation that diminishes the rights of the person who is the Participant’s spouse as of the date that the change or cancellation is purported to be effective shall not be effective without the written consent of such spouse. No
designation or change or cancellation of a designation of beneficiaries shall be effective unless received by the Employee Benefits Committee, in a form satisfactory to it, and in no event shall it be effective before the day of such receipt.


  

	(c)	Effect of Designation Hereunder. The designation of a beneficiary under the Plan, including the deemed designation of a Participant’s spouse
as his sole beneficiary pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof, shall be controlling over any testamentary or other disposition. In case of doubt as to the right of any person claiming to be a beneficiary, distribution shall be made to the
Participant’s surviving spouse; provided, however, that if it is established to the satisfaction of the Employee Benefits Committee that there is no surviving spouse, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Any distribution
pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall discharge the Employee Benefits Committee, the Trustees, the Company and the Employers from any further liability with respect to distribution of the Participant’s Account. 


  
 - 45 -










	(d)	Form of Payment. Distribution to a beneficiary pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof shall be made either in a lump sum or over the life expectancy of
the Participant’s spouse, as applicable; provided, however, that in the event that the beneficiary is the spouse married to the Participant on the date of his death, the spouse may elect to have the value of the Participant’s pre-1987
account applied toward the purchase of an annuity contract providing payments for the life of such spouse. The spouse may make the election described in the preceding sentence only if the following conditions are met: 


 

	 	(1)	The Participant was a participant in the applicable plan on December 21, 1984; 


 

	 	(2)	The Participant and such spouse (or, after the death of the Participant, such spouse) made a written election to receive benefits in such form; and


  

	 	(3)	The Participant died: 

  

	 	(A)	on or after the attainment of age sixty-five (65) while in the active employment of the Employer; or 


 

	 	(B)	on or after his retirement date but prior to the receipt of any benefits hereunder. 


 

	(e)	Installment Payments. If a Participant has elected to receive installment payments under subsection 10.01(a)(3)(B) hereof, and if such Participant dies after
payments have commenced but before his entire Participant’s Account has been distributed, the remainder of the Participant’s Account shall be valued as of the date of the Participant’s death and distributed to his beneficiary in a
lump sum; provided, however, that if the beneficiary is the Participant’s spouse, the spouse may elect to continue receiving installment payments; and provided, however, that all distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the
Code and the regulations thereunder. A beneficiary may not request that distributions to be made to the beneficiary instead be made directly to a revocable grantor trust (a “living trust”). 


 

	(f)	[Reserved]. 

  

	(g)	Pre-Retirement Death Benefit for Participant Who Dies During Military Service. A Participant on a leave of absence to perform military service with reemployment
rights described in USERRA and who cannot return to employment on account of his death shall be treated as if he died while actively employed for purposes of eligibility for the death benefit described in this subsection 10.02.


  

	10.03.	Inability To Locate Payee 

 If reasonable efforts have been made during a twelve (12) month period to locate a Participant or beneficiary to whom a distribution is due, and if such Participant or beneficiary cannot be located
in spite of these efforts, the Employee Benefits Committee, after the expiration of the twelve (12) month period, may direct that the balance remaining in the Participant’s Account be


  
 - 46 -









 
forfeited and allocated to all of the other Participants’ Accounts in the Plan. If the Participant or beneficiary whose Participant’s Account is forfeited in accordance with the
preceding sentence subsequently makes a valid claim for the Participant’s Account, the Participant’s Employer shall restore the Participant’s Account. 
  

	10.04.	Qualified Domestic Relations Orders 

 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, in the event that a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA, is received by the Employee Benefits Committee,
benefits shall be payable in accordance with such order and with Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA. The amount payable to the Participant and to any other person, other than the payee entitled to benefits under the order, shall be adjusted
accordingly. An alternate payee shall have sixty (60) days from the date that a domestic relations order is determined by the Employee Benefits Committee to be a qualified order to complete and file with the Committee the forms necessary to
enroll in the Plan or, alternatively, to file an election to receive the entire amount (but not less than the entire amount) that he is entitled to receive under such qualified domestic relations order. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section VII
of the Plan, a distribution made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall include any amount attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions and Catch-up Contributions, even if neither the Participant nor the alternate payee has incurred a
hardship (as defined in subsection 7.01(b)(1) of the Plan) or attained age 59 1/2. In the event that, after sixty (60) days, an alternate payee has not filed an election to receive the entire amount to which he is entitled under a qualified domestic relations order, he shall be
deemed to have enrolled in the Plan. An alternate payee who has enrolled or who is deemed to have enrolled in the Plan shall be subject to all of the rules governing withdrawals to which a Participant would be subject under the Plan, including the
provisions of Sections VII, VIII, and IX of the Plan, until the Participant reaches the “earliest retirement age” (as defined in Section Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA) under the Plan, or until such later date as shall be specified in the
qualified domestic relations order. 
 After the receipt by the Employee Benefits Committee of a domestic relations order
relating to a Participant, the Employee Benefits Committee shall, in accordance with Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA and rules established by the Employee Benefits Committee, separately account for the amounts payable to an alternate payee under the
order, and defer payment of any portion of such amounts that is otherwise payable to the Participant, until a determination is made whether the order is a qualified domestic relations order. No payment to a Participant may be deferred under this
paragraph (b) beyond eighteen (18) months after the date on which payments would, but for the deferral, be required to commence under the order. In no event shall payment of benefits to a Participant be deferred prior to the receipt by the
Employee Benefits 

  
 - 47 -









 
Committee of a domestic relations order, unless the Employee Benefits Committee receives a court order prohibiting the disposition of a Participant’s benefits pending resolution of a
domestic relations dispute. 
  

	10.05.	Minimum Required Distribution Provisions.  

  

	(a)	General Rules. 

  

	 	(1)	Precedence. These requirements take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the plan.

regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the U.S. Code of 1986, as amended. 

  

	(b)	Time and Manner of Distribution. 

  

	 	(1)	Required Beginning Date. A Participant’s entire interest must be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the
Participant’s required beginning date. 

  

	 	(2)	Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest must be distributed
no later than as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	 If the Participant’s spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2, if later. 



 

	 	(ii)	If the Participant’s spouse is not the sole designated beneficiary, the Participant’s entire interest must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar
year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(iii)	If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest
must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(iv)	If the Participant’s spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and the spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the spouse begin, this
Section 10.05(b)(2), other than Section 10.05(b)(2)(i), applies as if the spouse were the Participant. 


  
 - 48 -









 For purposes of this Section 10.05(b)(2) and Section 10.05(d), unless
Section 10.05(b)(2)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s required beginning date. If Section 10.05(b)(2)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to
begin to the surviving spouse under Section 10.05(b)(2)(i). 
  

	 	(3)	Form of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first
distribution calendar year distributions must be made in accordance with Sections 10.05(c) and (d). 

  

	(c)	Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 

  


	 	(1)	Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that is distributed for
each distribution calendar year is the lesser of: 

  

	 	(i)	the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in
Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U.S. Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of his birthday in the distribution calendar year; or 

  

	 	(ii)	if the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is his spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account
balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U.S. Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s
birthdays in the distribution calendar year. 

  

	 	(2)	Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions are determined under this
Section 10.05(c) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death. 


 

	(d)	Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death. 

  

	 	(1)	Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. 

  

	 	(A)	 Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Unless the death benefit is required to be paid in the form of a lump sum under

 - 49 -










	 	 
calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the
Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows: 


  

	 	(i)	The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.


  

	 	(ii)	If the Participant’s spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after
the year of the Participant’s death using the spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the spouse is calculated
using the age of the spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year. 


 

	 	(iii)	If the Participant’s spouse is not the sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the
beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	 	(B)	No Designated Beneficiary. Unless the death benefit is required to be paid in the form of a lump sum under Section 10.02(e), if the Participant dies on or
after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that is distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year
of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year. 

  

	 	(2)	Death Before Date Distributions Begin. 

  

	 	(A)	 Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Unless the death benefit is required to be paid in the form of a lump sum under
Section 10.02(d), if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that must be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death
is the 



  
 - 50 -










	 	 
quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in
Section 10.05(d)(1). 


  

	 	(B)	No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest must be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.


  

	 	(C)	Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Spouse Are Required to Begin. Unless the death benefit is required to be paid in the form of a lump sum under
Section 10.02(d), if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the spouse
under Section 10.05(b)(2)(i), this Section 10.05(d)(2) applies as if the spouse were the Participant. 

  

	(e)	Definitions. 

  

	 	(1)	Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Section 10.02(a) of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under

	 	(2)	Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the
first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution
calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 10.02(d). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the
Participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s required beginning
date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year. 

  

	 	(3)	Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U.S. Treasury regulations.



  
 - 51 -

(valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the
valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if

 SECTION XI. METHODS OF PAYING WITHDRAWALS

AND PAYMENTS 
  

	11.01.	Payment from Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock Fund 


Upon written request made at any time prior to payment, a Participant or former Participant, or, in a proper case, a designated
beneficiary or legal representative, may receive payment in cash, or in Shares, or in a combination of any of these, provided that he shall not be entitled to receive in Shares any amount greater in value than the value represented by the Units that
are being withdrawn by such Participant from the Company Stock Fund. The value of the Participant’s Units in the Company Stock Fund shall be calculated as of the date on which the Employee Benefits Committee receives the Participant’s
request for payment from the Fund. The Employee Benefits Committee shall direct the Trustee to fulfill any such request, but the Committee may not direct the issuance of partial Shares upon any request. 

This subsection 11.01 shall apply to withdrawals under Section VIII and subsection 18.16 of the Plan, and to distributions under Section X
and subsection 18.15 of the Plan. 
  

	11.02.	Optional Direct Rollover 

  

	(a)	A distributee may elect to have a payment that is an eligible rollover distribution paid to an eligible retirement plan in a direct rollover. Such an election shall be
made in the form and at the time prescribed by the Employee Benefits Committee, shall specify the eligible retirement plan to which the withdrawal amount is to be paid, and shall be subject to such rules as the Employee Benefits Committee from time
to time may establish. This subsection 11.02 shall apply to withdrawals under Section VII, Section VIII, and subsection 18.16 of the Plan, and to distributions under Section X and subsection 18.15 of the Plan. 


 

	(b)	Definitions. The following definitions apply for purposes of subsection 11.02: 


 

	 	(1)	“Eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all of the balance to the credit of the distributee on account of separation from service,
except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income. 

 A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However,
such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 1169(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified plan described in Section 1165(a) of the Code, and such plan


  
 - 53 -









 
or contract must agree to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross
income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
  

	 	(2)	“Eligible retirement plan” means an individual retirement account described in Section 1169(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity
described in Section 1169(b) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 1165(a) of the Code; provided that such plan accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. 


 

	 	(3)	“Distributee” means a Participant. In addition, the Participant’s surviving spouse and the Participant’s spouse or former spouse who is the
alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

responsibilities herein assigned to it, the Fund Advisory Committee shall advise the respective Trustees of the investment objectives of the Trusts and of any changes or modifications therein. The foregoing shall not relieve a Trustee from the sole
responsibility for the investment of the Trust Fund under its control. The Fund Advisory Committee shall be responsible for providing investment-related information to Participants and beneficiaries. The Fund Advisory Committee shall be subject to
the procedures and rules set forth in subsection 12.02 of the Plan. 
  

	13.02.	Trustees 

  

	(a)	Appointment of Trustees. The Fund Advisory Committee shall appoint one or more individuals, banks, or trust companies as Trustees to invest, pursuant
to one or more Trusts, all contributions made pursuant to the Plan and all other assets of the Plan. Each Trustee shall serve at the pleasure of the Fund Advisory Committee and shall have such rights, powers, and duties as are contained in the Trust
Agreement by which it or he is appointed, and as the same may be amended. 

 Execution of the Trust Agreement by
the Trustee shall be evidence of the Trustee’s acceptance of its fiduciary capacity with respect to the fund created by such Agreement and agreement to the allocation of fiduciary responsibilities, obligations, and duties contained in the Plan
and the applicable Trust Agreement. 
  

	(b)	Management of Assets. All assets of the Plan shall be held in trust by the Trustees for use in providing the benefits of the Plan. Each Trustee shall
have the sole responsibility, subject to subsection 13.02(d) below, for the investment of the funds held pursuant to the applicable Trust. In the event that a contribution by an Employer is made under circumstances described in subsection 3.09
hereof, such Employer shall be entitled to have such contribution returned on the conditions stated in such subsection. In addition, the proceeds of an Exempt Loan (or Financed Shares purchased with such proceeds) as such terms are defined in

diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants, retired Participants, and spouses and other beneficiaries of the Participants under the Plan. 


  
 - 59 -










	(c)	Investment Standards. All contributions made under this Plan shall be delivered to the Trustees and shall be held, invested, and reinvested as hereinafter
set forth and in accordance with the provisions of any Trust Agreement. Investments shall consist only of those in which a prudent man familiar with the objectives of the Plan and using care, skill, prudence, and diligence would invest in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, diversifying the investments so as to minimize the risk of market losses; provided, however, that investment in the Company Stock Fund as provided by the Plan may be made without any
limitation on the percentage of the total fair market value of the trust fund or any Participant’s Account that is so invested. 

  

	(d)	Investment Responsibility. Each Trustee shall have sole responsibility for investment of the applicable Trust unless the Fund Advisory Committee appoints an
Investment Manager and allocates control and management of all or any portion of the assets held in such Trust to such Investment Manager. Such Investment Manager shall be an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a
bank as defined in such Act, or an insurance company that is qualified to manage the assets of employee benefit plans under the laws of more than one state. An Investment Manager shall acknowledge in writing its appointment as a fiduciary of the
Plan, and shall serve until a proper resignation is received by the Fund Advisory Committee, or until it is removed or replaced by the Fund Advisory Committee. 


 

	(e)	Responsibility of Investment Manager. An Investment Manager shall have sole investment responsibility for that portion of the assets of the Plan
that it has been appointed to manage, and no other Plan Fiduciary or any Trustee shall have any responsibility for the investment of any of the assets, the management of which has been delegated to an Investment Manager, or liability for any loss
to, or diminution in value of, the assets of the Plan resulting from any action directed, taken, or omitted by an Investment Manager. The Board of Directors, the committees, and the Trustees shall be under no duty to question the direction or lack
of direction of any Investment Manager, but shall act, and shall be fully protected in acting, in accordance with each such direction. The investment responsibility of an Investment Manager shall not include responsibility for lending securities
held in one or more of the Funds. 

  

	(f)	Securities Lending. The right to lend securities, if any, in each of the Funds is expressly reserved to the Trustee that is the custodian of the Fund or portion
thereof. The Trustee may, with the consent of the Fund Advisory Committee, lend securities held in one or more of the Funds.

pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shall be indemnified by the Employer, the Company or the Parent Company against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by either of them in connection with, or resulting from, any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding (whether actual 



  
 - 61 -










	 	 
or threatened civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative or in connection with any appeal relating thereto) in which any of such persons may become involved as a party or otherwise by
reason of acting in a fiduciary capacity or by reason of any action taken or not taken in such capacity whether or not such person continued to be a fiduciary at the time such liability or expense is incurred provided such person acted in good
faith, in what he reasonably believed to have been in the best interest of the Plan or the Employers, as the case may be, and in addition in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.



  

	(b)	Definition. As used in this subsection 14.05, the terms “liability” and “expense” shall include, but shall not be limited to, attorneys’
fees and disbursements and amounts of judgments, fines, or penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement by, such persons. 

  

	(c)	Effect of Termination of Proceeding. The termination of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, by judgment, settlement
(whether with or without court approval), or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that such person did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in paragraph
(a) above. 

  

	(d)	Persons Successful on the Merits. Any person described in paragraph (a) above, who has been wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, with respect to any claim, action, suit, or proceeding of the character described therein shall be entitled to indemnification as of right. 

  

	(e)	Persons Not Successful on the Merits. Except as provided in paragraph (d) above, any indemnification hereunder shall be made at the
discretion of the Employer, the Company or the Parent Company, but only if (i) the board of directors of the Employer, the Company or the Parent Company acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to, or who have been wholly
successful with respect to, such claim, action, suit, or proceeding, shall find that the director, officer, or employee has met the standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a) above, or (ii) independent legal counsel (who may be
regular counsel of the Employer, the Company or the Parent Company) shall deliver to it their written opinion that such person has met such standards. 

  

	(f)	Indemnification on Less Than All Claims or Issues. If several claims, issues, or matters of action are involved, any such
person may be entitled to indemnification as to some matters even though he is not so entitled as to others. 

  

	(g)	Advance of Costs. The Employer, the Company or the Parent Company may advance expenses to, or where appropriate may, at its expense, undertake the
defense of, any such person upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such expenses if it should ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this subsection 14.05.

	14.06.	Payments from the Fund 

 All payments of benefits as provided in this Plan shall be made solely out of, and to the extent of, the assets held in Trust, and no Employer shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for the payment of
any benefits provided in this Plan, nor shall any Employer be liable for any deficiency existing at any time in any Trust. 
  

	14.07.	Employment Rights 


The establishment or continuance of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any Employee or any person for a
continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any Employee or deal with him without regard to the existence of the Plan. 

 

	14.08.	Voting Rights 

  

	(a)	Company Stock All voting rights with respect to Shares of Company Stock held by the Plan shall be exercised by the Trustee in accordance with the directions of
Participants, or the beneficiaries of deceased Participants (collectively, the Participants and such beneficiaries are “Eligible Voters”), as provided herein, as “named fiduciaries” within the meaning of Sections 402(a) and
403(a)(1) of ERISA. Each Eligible Voter shall have the right to vote the number of Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund credited to his or her Account (whether or not fully vested) and, unless the Eligible Voter objects as
permitted in subsection 14.08(a)(2), a proportionate number of “Undirected Shares.” For this purpose, Undirected Shares are Shares for which the Trustee does not receive voting instructions, including (a) Shares held unallocated in
the Suspense Account under the ESOP and (b) Shares represented by Units in the Company Stock Fund allocated to the Accounts of Eligible Voters for which such Eligible Voters have not provided timely voting instructions to the Trustee.



  
 - 63 -










	 	(1)	Application of Voting Instructions; General Except as provided under subsection 14.08(a)(2), voting instructions provided by each Eligible Voter to the Trustee
shall apply to the number of Shares represented by Company Stock Fund Units allocated to the Eligible Voter’s Account and to a proportionate number of Undirected Shares; and, for this purpose, each Eligible Voter who provides instructions to
the Trustee shall be a named fiduciary (within the meaning of Sections 402 and 403(a)(1) of ERISA) to the Plan with respect to the voting, but shall have no other fiduciary authority or responsibility under this Plan unless otherwise designated as a
named fiduciary under another section of the Plan. 

  

	 	(2)	Right to Object Any Eligible Voter who exercises his or her right to vote the Shares represented by Company Stock Fund Units credited to his or her account may
object to the application of his or her voting instructions to any Undirected Shares by providing notice to the Trustee or its designee. An Eligible Voter who objects to the application of his or her voting instructions to Undirected Shares shall
not be a named fiduciary of the Plan with respect to voting Undirected Shares. The Employee Benefits Committee shall establish reasonable procedures that allow Eligible Voters to notify the Trustee or its designee of the Eligible Voter’s
objection hereunder. 

  

	 	(3)	Notice to Eligible Voters Before each annual or special meeting of the Parent Company, the Employee Benefits Committee shall cause to be sent to each Eligible
Voter the proxy materials and any other information provided to the Parent Company’s shareholders in connection with such annual or special meeting, together with a form requesting voting instructions and describing the procedure by which an
Eligible Voter may object to the application of his or her instructions to Undirected Shares. The materials sent to Eligible Voters shall include a notice explaining that: (a) each Eligible Voter’s voting instructions shall be effective
with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund credited to him or her, (b) unless the Eligible Voter objects to the application of his or her voting instructions to Undirected Shares in accordance with
the procedure explained in the notice, the Eligible Voter’s voting instructions shall apply to a pro rata portion of Undirected Shares, (c) each Eligible Voter who provides voting instructions to the Trustee shall be a named fiduciary of
the Plan with respect to the Shares voted in accordance with his or her voting instructions, and (d) if the Eligible Voter fails to timely provide voting instructions to the Trustee, the Trustee shall vote the Shares represented by the Units in
the Company Stock Fund credited to him or her in accordance with the directions of those Eligible Voters who submit timely instructions to the Trustee and who have not objected to the application of their voting instructions to Undirected Shares.

	 	(4)	Voting; Confidentiality Upon receipt of instructions from Eligible Voters, the Trustee shall vote the Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund
credited to the Eligible Voter (whether or not fully vested) as directed by him or her. The Trustee shall vote Undirected Shares in the same proportion on each issue as it votes Shares for which instructions are received from Eligible Voters who do
not object to the application of their voting instructions to a proportionate number of the Undirected Shares. Instructions received by the Trustee from Eligible Voters shall be held in confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person,
including officers or employees of the Employer or the Parent Company. The Fund Advisory Committee shall review the sufficiency of procedures established to safeguard the confidentiality of Participants and beneficiaries, and shall monitor
compliance with these procedures. 

  

	(b)	Other Funds. Voting rights, if any, with respect to securities in each of the Funds other than the Company Stock Fund are delegated to the Trustee or the
Investment Manager that has the investment responsibility with respect to each such Fund or portion thereof, unless the Fund Advisory Committee has expressly reserved such voting rights to the Trustee that is the custodian of the Fund or portion
thereof for which the Investment Manager has the investment responsibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, voting rights with respect to mutual funds held under an Investment Window as described by subsection 5.09 shall be exercised by the
Participant holding such mutual funds in his Participant Account, as a “named fiduciary” within the meaning of Sections 402(a) and 403(a)(1) of ERISA. 


 

	14.09.	Tender Offers 

  

	(a)	 General In the event of a tender offer by any party other than the Parent Company for Shares or in the event of any similar event to effect a
change in control (as hereinafter defined) of the Parent Company by a sale or exchange of Shares, each Eligible Voter shall have the right to instruct the Trustee with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock
Fund credited to his or her Account (whether or not fully vested) and a proportionate number of Shares held unallocated in the Suspense Account under the ESOP (“Unallocated Shares”), provided that any Eligible Voter may object to the
application of his or her tender instructions to Unallocated Shares by providing notice to the Trustee or its designee in accordance with procedures established by the Employee Benefits Committee. Each Eligible Voter shall be a named fiduciary
(within the meaning of Sections 402 and 403(a)(1) of ERISA) of the Plan with respect to the exercise of his or her rights in a tender offer but shall have no other fiduciary authority or




  
 - 65 -










	 	 
responsibility under this Plan unless otherwise designated as a named fiduciary under another section of this Plan; provided that no Eligible Voter who objects to the application of his or her
tender instructions to Unallocated Shares shall be a named fiduciary with respect to any Unallocated Shares. 


  

	(b)	Notice In the event of a tender offer by any party other than the Parent Company for Shares or in the event of any similar event to effect a change in control
(as hereinafter defined) of the Parent Company by a sale or exchange of Shares, the Trustee of the Company Stock Fund shall cause to be sent to each Eligible Voter a form requesting instructions as to whether the Shares should be tendered pursuant
to the offer or sold or exchanged pursuant to any similar attempt to effect a change in control and a description of procedures by which the Eligible Voter may object to the application of his or her instructions to Unallocated Shares, together with
a notice explaining that: (a) the Eligible Voter’s instructions shall be effective with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund credited to his or her Account, (b) unless the Eligible Voter
objects to the application of his or her tender instructions to any Unallocated Shares, his or her tender instructions shall also apply to a proportionate number of Unallocated Shares, (c) each Eligible Voter shall be a named fiduciary of the
Plan with respect to the number of Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund allocated to the Eligible Voter’s Account and also with respect to any Unallocated Shares to which his or her tender instructions apply, and
(d) if the Eligible Voter fails to timely provide instructions to the Trustee, and the Eligible Voter does not provide notice of an objection to the application of his or her tender instructions to any Unallocated Shares, the Trustee shall
treat the failure to provide instructions to tender or take other action as a direction to not tender or take any other action with respect to the Shares represented by the Company Stock Fund Units in the Eligible Voter’s Account and a
proportionate number of Unallocated Shares. At or prior to the time the Trustee causes such request for instructions to be sent to each Eligible Voter, it shall distribute or cause to be distributed to each Eligible Voter copies of any materials
required to be distributed to each shareholder of the Parent Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other appropriate regulatory body in connection with the tender offer or similar attempt to effect a change in control.


  

	(c)	 Response to Tender or Similar Offer; Confidentiality Upon receipt of instructions from the Eligible Voters, the Trustee shall tender or take
other action with respect to the Shares represented by the Units in the Company Stock Fund credited to each Eligible Voter as directed by him or her. To the extent the Trustee does not receive instructions with respect to the Shares represented by
the Units in the Company Stock Fund credited to an Eligible Voter, or receives instructions from the Eligible Voter not to tender, the Trustee shall not tender such Shares nor take any other action. The Trustee shall tender or take other action with
respect to any Unallocated Shares in the 



  
 - 66 -










	 	 
same proportion as it acts with respect to Shares allocated to Eligible Voters, except, however, that instructions by Eligible Voters who object to the application of their instructions to
Unallocated Shares shall not be taken into account in determining actions to be taken with respect to the Unallocated Shares. Instructions received by the Trustee from Eligible Voters shall be held in confidence and shall not be divulged or released
to any person, including officers or employees of the Employer or the Parent Company. The Board of Directors shall appoint an independent fiduciary to review the sufficiency of procedures established to safeguard the confidentiality of Participants
and beneficiaries, and to monitor compliance with these procedures. 


  

	(d)	Change in Control. For purposes of this subsection 14.09, a change in control of the Parent Company shall mean the accumulation by any individual,
firm, corporation or other entity (other than the Parent Company or any subsidiary thereof or by any employee benefit plan maintained by the Parent Company or such a subsidiary), singly or in combination with any associates or affiliates, of the
beneficial ownership of more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Parent Company authorized to be issued from time to time under the Parent Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.


  

	(e)	Tender Offer Proceeds Fund. Any proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof shall be held in a Tender Offer Proceeds
Fund. Pending instructions from the Fund Advisory Committee, such Fund shall be invested in such manner as the Trustee of the Company Stock Fund, in its sole discretion, determines. 


 

	14.10.	Governing Law 

 The
Plan shall be administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 
  

	14.11.	Merger or Consolidation 

 In case of any merger or consolidation of this Plan or the assets of the Plan with, or transfer of the assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other Plan, the terms of such merger, consolidation, or
transfer shall be such that each Participant would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).

	14.12.	Reserved 

  

	14.13.	Certain Reorganization 


The voting provisions of subsections 14.08 and 14.09 shall have no application with respect to any offer to exchange stock of Guidant
Corporation for Shares. Pursuant to section 18.12(a), the Trustee shall have no authority or discretion to consider or accept any such offer with respect to any Shares or to hold any stock of Guidant Corporation received in any reorganization or
other transaction. 
  

	14.14.	Payments to Incapacitated Persons 

 If the Employee Benefits Committee determines that a person entitled to receive any benefit payment is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial
affairs, the Committee may cause payments to be made to such person’s legal representative, or to a relative or other individual for such a person’s benefit, or to otherwise apply the payment for the benefit of such person, subject to such
conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Any payment of a benefit in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be a complete discharge of any liability by the Plan to make such payment. 

 

	14.15.	Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. 

 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (“USERRA”). 
  

	14.16.	Electronic Administration. 


In its rules and procedures for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, procedures covering any directions,
elections, or other action by Participants, and the delivery of statements and required or optional disclosure materials to such individuals), the Employee Benefits Committee may provide for the use of electronic communications and other media. Any
reference in this Plan to forms, including forms used for Salary Reduction Contributions and for making participant-directed investment elections, shall mean either written forms or electronic forms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 SECTION XV. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 

 

	15.01.	Puerto Rico Treasury Department Approval, ERISA Compliance 

 The Plan is designed to qualify under Section 1165(a) and other applicable provisions of the Code and to comply with ERISA. By action of the Board of Directors of Lilly del Caribe, Inc. modifications
or amendments may be made to the Plan that are necessary or appropriate to qualify or maintain the Plan as a plan meeting the requirements of Section 1165(a) or any other applicable provisions of the Code, ERISA, or other laws, regulations or
rulings. 
  

	15.02.	Modification and Termination 

  

	(a)	By Board of Directors. It is the expectation of the Company that the Plan will continue indefinitely, but since future conditions affecting the
Company cannot be anticipated or foreseen, the Company must necessarily and does hereby reserve the right to amend or modify the Plan in any respect or to terminate it in whole or in part by joint action of the Board of Directors of Lilly del
Caribe, Inc. Any such termination or modification shall be effective at such date as the Board of Directors of Lilly del Caribe, Inc. may determine. A modification that affects the rights or duties of any Trustee may be made only with the consent of
such Trustee. Upon such amendment, the Trustee(s) shall be furnished with a certified copy thereof. The Plan may be amended retroactively, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of Lilly del Caribe, Inc. No amendment shall eliminate or reduce a
Participant’s benefit in violation of Section 204(g) of ERISA or the regulations issued thereunder. 

  

	(b)	Delegation of Amending Authority. The Board of Directors of Lilly del Caribe, Inc. delegates to the Employee Benefits Committee the power to amend the Plan,
pursuant to a written instrument filed with the important papers of the Company, for the limited purposes specified in subsections 1.01(a)(26)(A), 1.01(a)(26)(B)(iv), and 3.01, with regard to any and all ministerial matters, or with regard to
provisions that are not likely to result in substantial additional cost to the Company or that are necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the plan under Section 1165(a) of the Code. When acting in accordance with the delegation
of authority provided in this paragraph (b), the Employee Benefits Committee shall be acting in a settlor capacity, and not as a fiduciary of the Plan. 

  

	(c)	Effect of Termination or Modification on Employers. Any joint action taken by the Board of Directors of Lilly del Caribe, Inc. pursuant to subsection 15.02(a),
above, to modify or terminate the Plan, or any decision by the Company or the Parent Company to discontinue further contributions that results in a termination of the Plan, shall be effective similarly to terminate or modify the Plan as to all
subsidiary and affiliated companies that, at the effective date of such action, are included within the definition of “Employer” as set out in subsection 1.01(a)(9) hereof. 


  
 - 69 -










	(d)	Termination of Participation by Subsidiaries and Affiliates. 


 

	 	(1)	Right To Terminate. There is hereby separately reserved to each subsidiary or affiliated company of the Parent Company, that has been designated by the
Company and that has adopted this Plan by resolution of its own board of directors (and which company by reason of such action is included within the definition of “Employer” under Section I of the Plan), the right to terminate its
participation in this Plan by action of its board of directors. 

  

	 	(2)	Effect on Participants in Event of Termination. Upon the effective date of any termination by any Employer, all Employees of such
Employer who are not, or do not thereupon become, Employees of another Employer shall cease thereafter to be Employees or Participants under the Plan, but all such employees who have been Participants in the Plan and who cease to be Employees or
Participants under the Plan as above provided shall be treated as though they had a minimum of five (5) Years of Service under the Plan and shall be entitled to such rights of payment of Participants’ Accounts as are available under
Section X of the Plan to Participants having at least five (5) Years of Service. 

  

	 	(3)	Effect on Participants Where Plan Continued After Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a subsidiary or affiliated company
shall terminate its participation as an Employer in the Plan but shall continue the Plan, with appropriate amendments, or adopt a substantially similar plan, the withdrawal from the Plan by such Employer shall not be regarded as a termination of the
Plan so far as such Employer and its Employees are concerned. In such event the rights of such Employees and their beneficiaries shall be governed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, as appropriately amended, and continued, or of the
substantially similar plan so adopted by such company as if no withdrawal from the Plan had taken place, provided, however, that if an employee of such subsidiary or affiliated company is not eligible to continue participation in the Plan as so
continued by such company but continues to meet the definition of “Employee” contained in subsections 1.01(a)(6)(A)(ii), (B), (C), and (D), his participation hereunder shall not be interrupted by the withdrawal of such company and his
rights and the rights of his beneficiaries shall continue to be governed in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

	15.03.	Distribution on Termination 

 In the event of the complete or partial termination of the Plan or the complete discontinuance of contributions thereto, the assets then held in the Trust on behalf of affected Participants, after
provision for payment of expenses of liquidation, shall be fully vested and distributable in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.01 of the Plan; provided, however, that the Salary Reduction Contributions (and the earnings thereon) in a
Participant’s Account shall not be distributed unless the Participant has met the withdrawal requirements in subsection 7.01 or 7.02.

 SECTION XVIII. ESOP PROVISIONS 

 

	18.01.	Introduction 

 This
Section XVIII of The Savings Plan for Lilly Affiliate Employees in Puerto Rico shall be known as “The Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock Fund” (the “ESOP”). The ESOP permits the Trustee to borrow amounts to finance the purchase
of Shares, and provides for the investment of Employer Contributions, and the earnings thereon, in Shares, so that Participants will have an opportunity to become shareholders of Eli Lilly and Company. Effective April 1, 2011 (or such later
date in 2011 as determined in writing by the senior-most Vice President of Human Resources of Eli Lilly and Company in his sole discretion), the ESOP shall apply to all amounts invested in the Company Stock Fund, including pursuant to Participant
investment elections made in accordance with Section V. 
 The Company intends that the Profit-Sharing Plan and the ESOP together
shall constitute a single plan. Accordingly, the provisions set forth in the other sections of the Plan shall apply to the ESOP in the same manner as those provisions apply to the Profit-Sharing Plan, except to the extent that those provisions are
by their terms inapplicable to the ESOP, or to the extent that they are inconsistent with the specific provisions set forth below in this Section XVIII. The amendment of the Plan to include the ESOP shall not affect any beneficiary designations or
any other applicable agreements, elections, or consents that Participants, spouses, or beneficiaries validly executed under the terms of the Plan before the effective date of the ESOP; and such designations, agreements, elections, and consents shall
apply under the ESOP in the same manner as they apply under the Profit-Sharing Plan. 
  

	18.02.	Definitions. 

 The
following words and phrases, as used in this Section XVIII, shall have the following meanings unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context: 
  

	(a)	“ESOP Account” shall mean the portion of a Participant’s Account that reflects a Participant’s or beneficiary’s interest in the ESOP.


  

	(b)	“ESOP Shares Fund” shall mean the portion of the Company Stock Fund that is maintained for the investment of the ESOP assets. The ESOP Shares Fund shall
include both ESOP assets that are allocated to Participants’ and beneficiaries’ ESOP Accounts and ESOP assets that are held unallocated in a Suspense Account. 


 

	(c)	“Exempt Loan” shall mean a loan, loan guarantee, or other extension of credit to the ESOP from an individual or entity that is a “party in interest”
within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA, provided that the proceeds of such extension of credit are used by the Trustee to finance the purchase of Shares or to repay an Exempt Loan in accordance with subsection 18.13 of the ESOP.



  
 - 74 -










	(d)	“Financed Shares” shall mean Shares purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan and held in a Suspense Account. The term shall not include Shares that have
been released from a Suspense Account and allocated to the ESOP Accounts of Participants or beneficiaries in accordance with subsection 18.13 of the ESOP. 

  


	(e)	“Suspense Account” shall mean an account to which Shares purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan (and earnings attributable to such Shares) shall be
allocated until such Shares and earnings are released from suspense and allocated to the ESOP Accounts of Participants or beneficiaries in accordance with subsection 18.13 of the ESOP. 


 

	18.03.	Eligibility 

 An Employee
shall become a Participant in the ESOP on the effective date of the ESOP, provided that such Employee was a Participant in the Plan on that date. Any other Employee shall become a Participant in the ESOP as of the date on which such Employee becomes
a Participant in the Plan. 
  

	18.04.	Employer Contributions 

  

	(a)	Matching Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 18.04, an Employer shall contribute to the ESOP on behalf of its Employees for each
month an amount sufficient to provide each Employee with an allocation of Shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Employee’s Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) for such month; provided,
however, that in no event shall Matching Contributions be made with respect to (1) Salary Reduction Contributions that exceed six percent (6%) of a Participant’s Base Earnings, (2) Salary Reduction Contributions that exceed the
limit set forth in subsection 3.03(d), above, or (3) Excess Salary Reduction Contributions; and provided further that in no event shall Matching Contributions be made to the extent that such contributions would cause the contribution percentage
limit set forth in subsection 18.07 or the aggregate limit set forth in subsection 18.08 herein to be exceeded. Matching Contributions shall be made by an Employer only out of its current or retained earnings and profits (except as provided in
subsection 18.04(c)(2) or subsection 18.04(d)(1), below). Matching Contributions shall be allocated among the Participants’ ESOP Accounts in the proportion that each Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up
Contributions) bear to the aggregate Salary Reduction Contributions (without regard to Catch-Up Contributions) for the month. 


  
 - 75 -










	(b)	Reserved. 

  

	(c)	Contributions Charged to Employers. 

  

	 	(1)	Charged Against Employer Earnings. Except as provided in subparagraph (2) of this subsection 18.04(c) or in subsection 18.04(d)(1), below,
the contributions made by Employers in accordance with the provisions of subsection 18.04(a) for the months occurring within each Plan Year shall be charged among such Employers and paid by each such Employer from its own current or retained
earnings on the basis that such contributions are credited to the accounts of Participants who are employed by it during the months of the taxable year for which the contributions are made. 


 

	 	(2)	Employers Without Earnings. In the event that any Employer is prevented from making all or any part of the contribution that it would otherwise have
made under the ESOP, as above provided, by reason of having no current or retained earnings for such taxable year, or because its current and retained earnings for such taxable year are insufficient to make the required contribution, then such
contribution that such Employer was so prevented from making, or so much of such contribution that is in excess of said Employer’s current and retained earnings for such taxable year, shall be made for said Employer by the other Employers who
are members of the same “affiliated group,” who have current or retained earnings for such taxable year. If there is more than one other such Employer who has current or retained earnings for such taxable year, then said prevented
contributions shall be charged and paid by such Employer(s) as may be determined pursuant to agreement between such Employers, consistent with requirements for deduction of such contribution under applicable provisions of the Code.


  

	 	(3)	Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 18.04(d)(3), below, forfeitures that arise under the Plan shall be allocated to Participants’ ESOP
Accounts on the basis of their Salary Reduction Contributions for any Plan Year in which the Employers have elected to make Matching Contributions to the ESOP rather than to the Profit-Sharing Plan. Forfeitures allocated in this manner shall be
treated as Matching Contributions and shall be allocated to Participants’ ESOP Accounts in the manner described in paragraph (a), above. The forfeiture allocations described in this paragraph (c)(3) shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount
of the Matching Contributions that otherwise would be allocated to the Participant pursuant to paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this subsection 18.04. 


  
 - 76 -










	(d)	Exempt Loan Contributions. 

  

	 	(1)	Contribution Requirements. For each Plan Year (or portion thereof) during which there are Financed Shares in a Suspense Account, the Employer Contributions to
the ESOP shall not be less than an amount that is sufficient, when aggregated with dividend payments described in subsection 18.11(a), to pay any currently maturing obligations under any Exempt Loan. The Employer Contributions under this paragraph
(d) shall be paid in cash to the extent necessary to provide the ESOP with cash sufficient to pay any currently maturing obligations under any Exempt Loan, and shall be paid in two or more installments during the Plan Year to the extent
necessary to permit the Trustee to meet the payment schedule for any Exempt Loan. The Employer Contributions described in this paragraph (d) shall be made without regard to whether the Employer Contributions exceed the current or accumulated
earnings and profits of the Employers. 

  

	 	(2)	Allocations. The value of the Shares released from a Suspense Account and allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account by reason of an Exempt Loan payment made
pursuant to this subsection 18.04(d) for any Plan Year (including the portion of such Exempt Loan payment that is attributable to dividends as described in subsection 18.11(a)) shall determine whether the Matching Contributions for the Plan Year are
sufficient to provide eligible Participants with allocations whose value is at least as great as the amounts determined under paragraph (a) of this subsection 18.04. 


 

	 	(3)	Forfeitures. Forfeitures shall not be used to repay an Exempt Loan. For each Plan Year (or portion thereof) during which there are Financed Shares in a Suspense
Account, forfeitures shall be applied in the manner described in subsection 18.13 to replace dividends that are used to repay an Exempt Loan or to provide additional allocations to Participants. To the extent that forfeitures are not required to be
used for either of the foregoing purposes under the provisions of subsection 18.13, they shall be used to pay administrative expenses in accordance with subsection 12.02(n) hereof. 


 

	(e)	Contributions of Shares. Except as provided in subsection 18.04(d)(1), the Employers may, at their election, make all or any part of any Matching Contribution to
the ESOP in Shares rather than in cash. The Shares so contributed shall have a fair market value equal to the amount of such Matching Contribution (or portion thereof). The fair market value of a Share shall be the mean between the highest and
lowest quoted selling price per share for a 100 share lot of Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues on the date of payment to the Trustee. 


  
 - 77 -










	(f)	Contributions to the Profit-Sharing Plan. The Employers may, at their election, make a Matching Contribution to the Profit-Sharing Plan pursuant to subsection
3.06 in lieu of all or a portion of the Matching Contribution or otherwise required under this subsection 18.04; provided that the Employers may not make a Matching Contribution to the Profit-Sharing Plan in lieu of any Matching Contribution that is
required to repay an Exempt Loan as described in subsection 18.04(d), above. The amount of the Matching otherwise required to be made pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 18.04 with respect to a Participant shall be reduced,
dollar for dollar, by the amount of any Matching Contribution that is allocated to the Participant’s Profit-Sharing Account for the Plan Year. 

  

	(g)	Deductibility. All Matching Contributions to the ESOP are conditioned on the deductibility of the contributions under Section 1023(n) of the Code for the
taxable year with respect to which the contributions were made. 

  

	(h)	Transfer of Shares from Profit-Sharing Accounts. 

  

	 	(1)	Transfers at Election of Committee. The Fund Advisory Committee may, at its election, direct the Trustee to transfer from the Profit-Sharing Plan to the ESOP any
portion of the Company Stock Fund that is attributable to Prior Employer Contributions or Employer Contributions, and earnings thereon, credited to Participants’ Profit-Sharing Accounts prior to the date of the transfer. Any Shares transferred
in accordance with this subsection (h) shall be held in the ESOP Shares Fund and shall be credited to the ESOP Accounts of those Participants and beneficiaries from whose Profit-Sharing Accounts the Shares were transferred.


  

	 	(2)	Effect of Transfers. Any Shares transferred in accordance with this paragraph (h) shall not be considered “annual additions” under subsection
18.06 hereof, and shall not be taken into account in determining the contribution percentage of any Participant under subsection 18.07 hereof. 

  

	 	(3)	Contributions Not Recoverable by Employer. The Trustee shall hold the contributions received by it under subsection 18.04 for the respective
Participants subject to the provisions of the Plan. No such contribution shall be recoverable by the Employers, except as provided in subsection 18.04(j), below. 


 

	 	(4)	Return of Employer Contributions. In the event that an Employer Contribution made pursuant to subsection 18.04 


 

	 	(A)	is made under a mistake of fact, or 


  
 - 78 -










	 	(B)	is disallowed as a deduction under Section 1023(n) of the Code for the taxable year with respect to which it was made, 


the contribution shall, at the option of such Employer, be returned to such Employer within one (1) year after the payment of the
contribution or the disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed), whichever is applicable; provided, however, that an Employer may not recover from the Plan any contribution that has been used to repay an Exempt Loan. The amount returned
shall not be increased to reflect any investment earnings, but shall be decreased to reflect any losses. If the amount returned to such Employer would cause the balance of any Participant’s Account to be less than the balance would have been
had the returned contribution never been made, the amount to be returned shall be limited to prevent such loss. 
  

	18.05.	Payment to Trustee 

  

	(a)	Matching Contributions. Except as provided in paragraph (c), below, an Employer’s Matching Contributions shall become due for payment to the Trustee of the
Company Stock Fund at the end of each month during the Plan Year. 

  

	(b)	Reserved. 

  

	(c)	Exempt Loan Payments. Any Matching Contribution made pursuant to subsection 18.04(d), above, shall be paid to the Trustee of the Company Stock Fund in time to
permit the Trustee to satisfy any currently maturing obligation under any Exempt Loan. The Employers may, at their election, make all or any portion of such Matching Contribution (or direct the Trustee to use all or any portion of the dividends
described in subsection 18.11(a), below) in time to permit the Trustee to pre-pay all or a portion of any obligation under an Exempt Loan, to the extent that such pre-payment may be made without penalty to the ESOP. 


 

	18.06.	Limits on Annual Additions 

  

	(a)	Limits on Additions to ESOP Accounts. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this subsection 18.06, the provisions of Section IV apply to ESOP Accounts.


  

	(b)	Annual Additions. 

  

	 	(1)	 The term “annual addition” as used in paragraph (a) of this subsection 18.06 means Employer Contributions allocated to the
Participant’s ESOP Account during a limitation year. Except as provided in 



  
 - 79 -










	 	 
paragraph (c) of this subsection 18.06, the term “annual addition” also includes any Employer Contributions of principal and interest used to repay an Exempt Loan for the
limitation year. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of the annual addition shall be determined by reference to the amount of the Employer Contribution used to repay an Exempt Loan rather than by reference to the value of
the Shares released from a Suspense Account and allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account for the limitation year. 


  

	 	(2)	The term “annual addition” shall not include any dividend paid with respect to Shares that are held in a Suspense Account or allocated to a Participant’s
ESOP Account. The term “annual addition” also shall not include the value of any Shares that are allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account in accordance with subsection 18.13, below, in order to replace any dividends that are used to
make payments on an Exempt Loan. 

  

	(c)	Special Rules for Exempt Loan Payments. If no more than one third of the Employer Contributions for a limitation year that are deductible under
Section 1023(n) of the Code are allocated to Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees, the limitation imposed by this subsection 18.06 shall not apply to: 


 

	 	(1)	forfeitures of Shares that were acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan, or 


 

	 	(2)	Employer Contributions that are deductible under Section 1023(n) of the Code and that are charged against a Participant’s Account. 


If allocations for a limitation year would cause more than one third of the Employer Contributions that are deductible under
Section 1023(n) of the Code to be allocated to Highly Compensated Employees, such allocations shall be reduced or eliminated, in a manner prescribed by the Employee Benefits Committee that is consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to
the extent necessary to prevent the limit on allocations to Highly Compensated Employees from being exceeded. 
  

	18.07.	Reserved 

  

	18.08.	Reserved. 

  

	18.09.	Vesting and Forfeitures 

  

	(a)	Vested Percentage. A Participant’s vested interest in the Employer Contributions and earnings thereon allocated to his ESOP Account shall be determined in
accordance with subsection 10.01(a) of the Plan.

	(b)	Forfeitures. A Participant who is not 100% vested in all amounts allocated to his ESOP Account shall forfeit the nonvested portion of his ESOP Account in
accordance with the rules prescribed by subsection 10.01(a) of the Plan. Shares that were allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account from a Suspense Account as provided in subsection 18.13 hereof shall be forfeited only after all other assets
allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account have been forfeited. If the Participant subsequently returns to employment with the Company or an affiliate before he incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, his ESOP Account shall be
restored if he satisfies the requirements of subsection 10.01(a) of the Plan. 

  

	18.10.	ESOP Accounts 

 A separate
account shall be established for each Participant, known individually as the ESOP Account and collectively as the ESOP Accounts. A Participant’s ESOP Account shall be maintained in accordance with the rules set forth in Section VI of the Plan.

  

	18.11.	Payment of Dividends 

  

	(a)	Exempt Loan Payments. The Fund Advisory Committee may direct the Trustee to use any cash dividend to make payments on an Exempt Loan, provided that the cash
dividend is paid with respect to Shares that are held by the ESOP on the record date for such dividend. This paragraph (a) shall apply both to dividends paid with respect to Shares that are allocated to a Participant’s or
beneficiary’s ESOP Account and to dividends paid with respect to Shares that are held in a Suspense Account. In addition, to the extent directed by the Fund Advisory Committee, this subsection (a) shall apply to dividends paid with respect
to Shares that were transferred to the ESOP from a Participant’s or beneficiary’s Profit-Sharing Account, or from any other tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Company or an affiliate. 


 

	(b)	Replacement of Dividends on Allocated Shares. To the extent that any dividend is paid with respect to Shares that are allocated to an ESOP Account, and such
dividend is used to make a payment on an Exempt Loan in accordance with paragraph (a), above, Shares with a fair market value not less than the amount of the dividend shall be allocated to the ESOP Account for the Plan Year for which the dividend
would have been allocated to the ESOP Account. 

  

	(c)	Other Dividends. To the extent that any cash dividend is paid with respect to Shares that are allocated to a Participant’s or beneficiary’s ESOP
Account on the record date for such dividend, and such dividend is not used to make a payment on an Exempt Loan in accordance with paragraph (a), above, the dividend shall be taken into account in determining the value of a Unit of Participation in
the Company Stock Fund as described in Section VI hereof. 


  
 - 81 -










	(d)	Distributions of Dividends. To the extent that any cash dividend is paid with respect to Shares that are allocated to a Participant’s or beneficiary’s ESOP
Account on the record date for such dividend, and such dividend is not used to make a payment on an Exempt Loan in accordance with paragraph (a), a Participant or Beneficiary may affirmatively elect to receive a cash dividend in cash, in accordance
with procedures established by the Employee Benefits Committee. If no such election is made, such dividend will be reinvested in Shares. 

  

	18.12.	ESOP Shares Fund 

  

	(a)	Investment in Shares. The ESOP is designed to invest exclusively in qualifying employer securities, as defined in Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA. Accordingly,
the ESOP Shares Fund shall consist solely of Shares except as provided in paragraph (c) below. The Trustee shall purchase such Shares required as a result of dividends and other distributions received with respect to Shares (other than
dividends used to repay an Exempt Loan in accordance with subsection 18.11, above) in the open market or by private purchase, including purchase from Eli Lilly and Company. 


 

	(b)	Purchase from Eli Lilly and Company. Any purchase of Shares from Eli Lilly and Company shall be at a price per share not in excess of the mean between the
highest and lowest quoted selling price per share for a 100 share lot of Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues on the date of purchase by the Trustee. Dividends and other distributions
received with respect to Shares (other than dividends used to repay an Exempt Loan in accordance with subsection 18.11, above) and Employer Contributions made in cash shall be invested in Shares as soon as practicable, except as otherwise provided
in this Section XVIII. 

  

	(c)	Short-Term Investments. Nothing in this subsection 18.12 or in subsection 18.13, below, shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from retaining in cash or cash
equivalents or other short-term investments (i) the proceeds of any Exempt Loan, until such proceeds are used to acquire Shares, or to repay all or any portion of an Exempt Loan; (ii) cash dividends received on Shares held in the ESOP
Shares Fund, until such dividends are applied to repay an Exempt Loan or are invested in Shares; and (iii) such other amounts as may be required for the proper administration of the Trust. 


 

	18.13.	Exempt Loan Provisions 

  

	(a)	 Authority To Obtain or Modify an Exempt Loan. The Trustee, acting in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors, at the direction of
the 



  
 - 82 -










	 	 
Fund Advisory Committee, or at the direction of corporate officers authorized by the Board of Directors of Eli Lilly and Company, may obtain an Exempt Loan from time to time in order to finance
the acquisition of Shares or to refinance a prior Exempt Loan. An Exempt Loan shall be primarily for the benefit of Participants of the ESOP and their beneficiaries and shall satisfy the conditions set forth in this subsection 18.13. The Trustee,
acting in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors, at the direction of the Fund Advisory Committee, or at the direction of corporate officers authorized by the Board of Directors of Eli Lilly and Company, may extend or renew an Exempt
Loan, or may otherwise modify the terms of the Exempt Loan, provided that the Exempt Loan, as extended, renewed, or otherwise modified, continues to satisfy the conditions set forth in this subsection 18.13. 



 

	(b)	Terms of the Exempt Loan. An Exempt Loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest, shall be for a specific term, and shall not be payable on demand except in the
event of default. Any collateral pledged to the lender by the Trustee shall consist only of the Financed Shares purchased with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan, or Financed Shares purchased with the proceeds of a prior Exempt Loan that is being
refinanced; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to prevent Eli Lilly and Company from guaranteeing repayment of the Exempt Loan. Any pledge of Financed Shares shall provide for the release of the Shares so pledged no later than the
date the Trustee makes payments on the Exempt Loan and shall provide for the allocation of the Shares to Participants’ ESOP Accounts in accordance with Section 18.13(d). Under the terms of the Exempt Loan, the lender shall have no recourse
against assets of the ESOP except with respect to (i) the Financed Shares pledged to secure the Exempt Loan, (ii) Employer Contributions (other than contributions of Shares) that are made to the ESOP to meet its obligations under the
Exempt Loan, and (iii) earnings attributable to the Financed Shares or to the investment of the Employer Contributions. 

  

	(c)	Use of Loan Proceeds. The Trustee shall use the proceeds of an Exempt Loan, within a reasonable time after their receipt by the ESOP, only for one or more of the
following purposes: (i) to acquire Shares; (ii) to repay the Exempt Loan; or (iii) to repay a prior Exempt Loan. Until the proceeds of an Exempt Loan are used as described in the preceding sentence, the Trustee may invest such
proceeds in cash or cash equivalents or other short-term investments in accordance with subsection 18.12(c), above. The Trustee shall pay no more than “adequate consideration” (within the meaning of Section 3(18) of ERISA) for any
Shares acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan. 

  

	(d)	 Suspense Account. Financed Shares acquired by the ESOP with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall be allocated to a Suspense Account. Such
Financed Shares shall be released from the Suspense Account as the Trustee makes payments on the Exempt Loan, and shall be allocated to the ESOP Accounts 



  
 - 83 -










	 	 
of Participants and beneficiaries who are eligible under subsection 18.04 to receive an allocation of Employer Contributions, or who are eligible under subsection 18.11 to receive an allocation
to replace dividends that are used to repay the Exempt Loan. The Fund Advisory Committee may, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Exempt Loan, direct the Trustee to release Shares from the Suspense Account and allocate such Shares
during a year on a monthly, bimonthly or quarterly basis in advance of a scheduled payment of principal or interest on an Exempt Loan for such year, provided that the number of all Financed Shares released and allocated to the ESOP Accounts of
Participants for such year equals the number of Financed Shares necessary to satisfy Section 54.4975-7(b) (8) of the Treasury regulations and this section 18.13. The number of Financed Shares to be released from the Suspense Account in
each Plan Year for allocation to ESOP Accounts shall be determined according to the method set forth in paragraph (1), below, unless the Fund Advisory Committee expressly provides that the method set forth in paragraph (2), below, shall apply with
respect to a particular Exempt Loan. 


  

	 	(1)	General Rule. For each Plan Year during the duration of an Exempt Loan, the number of Financed Shares released must equal the number of Financed Shares held
immediately before any release for the current Plan Year multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the amount of principal and interest paid for the Plan Year. The denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the
principal and interest to be paid for all future years. The number of future years under the loan must be definitely ascertainable and must be determined without taking into account any possible extensions or renewal periods. If the interest rate
under an Exempt Loan is variable, the interest to be paid in the future years must be computed by using the interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year. 


 

	 	(2)	Special Rule. The Fund Advisory Committee, acting in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors, may direct at the time the Exempt Loan is obtained
(or the terms of the Exempt Loan may provide) that Financed Shares will be released from the Suspense Account based solely on the ratio that the payments of principal for each Plan Year bear to the total principal amount of the Exempt Loan. This
method may be used only to the extent that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Exempt Loan provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of
such amounts for ten years; (ii) interest included in any payment on the Exempt Loan is disregarded only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables; and (iii) the entire duration of the
Exempt Loan repayment period does not exceed ten years, even in the event of a renewal, extension, or refinancing of the Exempt Loan. 


  
 - 84 -










	(e)	Repayment of Exempt Loan. The payments of principal and interest on an Exempt Loan (other than payments made pursuant to subsection 18.13(g), below, by reason of
a default) shall be made by the Trustee (as directed by the Fund Advisory Committee) only from Employer Contributions to the ESOP (other than contributions of Shares), from earnings attributable to such Employer Contributions, and from any dividends
received by the Trust on the Shares held by the ESOP (including earnings on such dividends). The Trustee shall account separately for such Employer Contributions, earnings, and dividends until the Exempt Loan is repaid. To the extent that dividends
on Shares are used to repay the Exempt Loan in accordance with subsection 18.11, above, such dividends shall be used first to repay the principal amount of the Exempt Loan; dividends shall be used to pay interest on the Exempt Loan only to the
extent that the aggregate amount of the dividends used to repay the Exempt Loan in any Plan Year exceeds the amount of the principal payment due on the Exempt Loan for that Plan Year. 


 

	(f)	Allocations to ESOP Accounts. The Shares that are released from a Suspense Account in any Plan Year shall be allocated to Participants’ and
beneficiaries’ ESOP Accounts as follows: 

  

	 	(1)	Each Participant’s or beneficiary’s ESOP Account shall be credited with 


 

	 	(A)	Shares whose fair market value (determined as of the date of allocation to the ESOP Account, based upon the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price per
share for a 100-share lot of Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues) equals the value of the cash dividends used to repay an Exempt Loan, to the extent that such dividends were paid with respect to
the Shares allocated to the Participant’s or beneficiary’s ESOP Account for the Plan Year; and 

  

	 	(B)	Shares whose fair market value (determined as of the date of allocation to the ESOP Account, based upon the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price per
share for a 100-share lot of Eli Lilly and Company Common Stock on the composite tape of New York Stock Exchange issues) equals the value of the Employer Contribution that such Participant is eligible to receive under the ESOP for the Plan Year
(reduced by the amount of any Employer Contribution that the Participant has received or is entitled to receive under the Profit-Sharing Plan for the Plan Year, and by the amount of any Employer Contribution that is allocated directly to the
Participant’s ESOP Account for the Plan Year). 


  
 - 85 -









 The order of allocation of Shares pursuant to this subparagraph (1) shall be
determined by the Board of Directors or the Fund Advisory Committee. 
  

	 	(2)	Any Shares remaining after the allocations described in subparagraph (1), above, shall be used to provide an additional Employer Contribution for the Plan Year.


 Except as provided in the following paragraph, the Shares released from a Suspense Account for any Plan Year
shall be allocated to Participants’ and beneficiaries’ ESOP Accounts on (or as soon as practicable after) the allocation date for the Matching Contribution or dividend to which the released Shares are attributable. In no event shall Shares
released from a Suspense Account be allocated as of a date later than the end of the Plan Year in which the Exempt Loan payment is made. 
 If the Trustee uses a Employer Contribution to make a payment on an Exempt Loan after the end of a Plan Year but on or before the time prescribed by applicable law, the Fund Advisory Committee may direct
that some or all of the Shares released from a Suspense Account by reason of the payment shall be applied to satisfy the Employer Contribution obligation for the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the payment is made, and that the Shares so
applied shall be allocated to Participants’ ESOP Accounts as of the end of such preceding Plan Year. 
 If the Shares
released from a Suspense Account in any Plan Year are not sufficient to provide the allocations described in paragraphs (1)(A) or (B), above, the Employers shall make an additional contribution to the ESOP in an amount sufficient to complete
such allocations. The total amount of any forfeitures arising pursuant to subsection 10.01(a) for a Plan Year, to the extent that such forfeitures have not previously been allocated to a Participant’s or beneficiary’s account or used to
repay an Exempt Loan, shall be treated as part of the additional contribution described in the preceding sentence. An additional contribution made in order to provide the allocation described in paragraph (1)(A), above, shall be treated as a
dividend; an additional contribution made in order to provide the allocation described in paragraph (1)(B), above, shall be treated as an Employer Contribution, in accordance with subsection 18.04(d) hereof. 

  
 - 86 -










	(g)	Requirements in the Event of Default. In the event of default on the Exempt Loan, the value of the ESOP assets transferred in satisfaction of the Exempt Loan
shall not exceed the amount of the default. If the lender is a party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a disqualified person (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the
Exempt Loan shall provide for a transfer of ESOP assets on default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the ESOP to meet the payment schedule of the Exempt Loan; provided that a party in interest or disqualified person shall not be
considered a “lender” for the purposes of this sentence solely because such party in interest or disqualified person guaranteed the Exempt Loan. 

  


	(h)	Put Options. Except as provided in this paragraph (h), no employer security acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall be subject to a put, call, or
other option, or to a buy-sell or similar arrangement, while it is held by and when it is distributed from the ESOP. If an employer security acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan is not publicly traded when distributed, or if it is subject to
a trading limitation when distributed, the security shall be subject to a put option that permits the Participant or beneficiary to resell the security to the Company during the 15-month period following the distribution of the security. The
provisions of this paragraph (h) shall apply whether or not the ESOP is an employee stock ownership plan at the time the security is held or distributed. 


 

	(i)	Multiple Exempt Loans. 

  

	 	(1)	Amortization and Share Release. If there is more than one Exempt Loan outstanding, the Fund Advisory Committee shall direct the Trustee either (i) to
amortize each Exempt Loan separately, or (ii) to aggregate the principal and interest payments calculated separately with respect to two or more outstanding Exempt Loans and to amortize the Exempt Loans so aggregated as if they were a single
Exempt Loan. If the Fund Advisory Committee elects to amortize two or more outstanding Exempt Loans as if they were a single Exempt Loan, the Fund Advisory Committee shall aggregate the Financed Shares purchased with the proceeds of each Exempt Loan
in order to determine the number of Shares released from the Suspense Account and allocated to Participants’ and beneficiaries’ ESOP Accounts for any year with respect to the aggregated Exempt Loans. 


 

	 	(2)	 Share Allocation. The Fund Advisory Committee may allocate the Shares purchased with each Exempt Loan in proportion to the payments of principal
and interest made with respect to that Exempt Loan, or the Fund Advisory Committee may direct the Trustee to allocate the Shares purchased with one Exempt Loan more rapidly that the Shares purchased with another Exempt Loan; or the Fund




  
 - 87 -










	 	 
Advisory Committee may direct the Trustee, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Exempt Loan, to release from the Suspense Account and allocate such Shares to Employee’s and
beneficiaries’ ESOP Accounts on a monthly, bimonthly or quarterly basis during a year in advance of a scheduled payment of principal or interest on an Exempt Loan for such year; provided, however, that the Fund Advisory Committee’s method
of attributing the Shares allocated for a given year to a particular Exempt Loan shall satisfy, and the number of all Shares released and allocated to accounts for such year equals the number of Shares necessary to satisfy Section 54.4975-
7(b)(8) of the Treasury regulations and Section 18.13(d) for such year. 


  

	 	(3)	Eligible Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund Advisory Committee may, from time to time, determine the number of Financed Shares
remaining in the Suspense Account that are pledged (or that are eligible to be pledged) as collateral for a particular Exempt Loan; provided, however, that the number of Financed Shares that are pledged (or eligible to be pledged) as collateral for
a particular Exempt Loan shall not exceed the number of Financed Shares that would be pledged (or eligible to be pledged) if the Fund Advisory Committee had allocated the Shares purchased with each Exempt Loan in proportion to the payments of
principal and interest made with respect to the Exempt Loan. When the Fund Advisory Committee makes a determination described in this subparagraph (3), the Fund Advisory Committee shall communicate the number of Financed Shares pledged (or eligible
to be pledged) as collateral for a particular Exempt Loan to the Trustee, and the Trustee may rely on such communications. 

  

	18.14.	Other Securities Acquisition Loans 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the ESOP, if the Company or an affiliate receives a loan that is designed to qualify as a “securities acquisition loan,” and if, within 30 days, Shares are
transferred to the ESOP in an amount equal to the proceeds of such loan, such Shares shall be allocable to the accounts of Participants within one year of the date of such loan. A securities acquisition loan described in this subsection 18.14 shall
not be an Exempt Loan, and shall not be subject to the requirements of subsection 18.13, above. 
  

	18.15.	Distribution of ESOP Accounts 

  

	(a)	Withdrawals. A Participant may withdraw amounts from his ESOP Account in accordance with Section VIII of the Plan. A Participant may elect to receive any
withdrawal described in this subsection (a) in the form of Shares rather than in cash. 


  
 - 88 -










	(b)	Cash-Outs. For purposes of determining, pursuant to Section X, whether a Participant’s vested accrued benefit exceeds $1,000, the Participant’s ESOP
Account shall not be considered separately, but shall be included with the other portions of his Participant’s Account. 

  

	(c)	Distributions in Shares. A Participant or beneficiary may elect, pursuant to Section XI hereof, to receive the distribution of the Participant’s ESOP
Account in Shares rather than in cash; provided that the Trustee shall distribute fractional Shares in cash rather than in Shares. 

  

	(d)	Post-Retirement Withdrawals. A retired Participant who has elected to defer commencement of the distribution of his Participant’s Account may make periodic
withdrawals from his ESOP Account pursuant to subsection 10.01(b)(3) of the Plan. 

  

	18.16.	Withdrawal Rights. 

 A Participant may
withdraw his Employer Contributions (and earnings thereon) from his ESOP Account subject to the same rules as apply to withdrawals of Employer Contributions (and earnings thereon) from the Participant’s Account under Section VIII of the Plan. A
Participant may elect to receive any withdrawal described in this subsection (a) in the form of Shares rather than in cash. 
  

	18.17.	Voting and Tendering of Company Securities 

 A Participant shall be entitled to vote or tender the Shares allocated to his ESOP Account in accordance with the rules set forth in subsections 14.08 and 14.09 of the Plan. 

  
 - 89 -









 SECTION XIX. LOANS 

 

	19.01.	Availability. 

 Loans
shall be available to Participants who are actively employed and to such other classes of Participants as the Employee Benefits Committee may designate in accordance with a written loan program established by the Employee Benefits Committee. A
Participant’s total amount of outstanding indebtedness to the Plan may not exceed the least of: 
  

	(a)	fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) reduced by the remainder (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the twelve (12) month period
ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made, less the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which the new loan is made; 


 

	(b)	fifty percent (50%) of his vested Participant’s Account; 

  

	(c)	the sum of the amounts available under subsection 19.02, below; or 

  

	(d)	ninety percent (90%) of the portion of his Participant’s Account that is attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions and the Rollover Account.


 All loans shall be made in accordance with the limitations of Section 408(b)(1) of ERISA and the
regulations thereunder, and shall be administered in accordance with the written loan program established by the Employee Benefits Committee. The written loan program shall include (but not be limited to) the procedures for applying for a loan, the
requirements for receiving a loan, including any required fees, the terms and conditions relating to loans, the procedure for determining a reasonable rate of interest, the types of collateral that may be used to secure a loan, and the events
constituting default of a loan. 
  

	19.02.	Source of Loan Amounts 

 A
loan to a Participant shall be effected through the transfer of the amount to be loaned from the Participant’s Account to the Loan Fund. The amount so transferred shall then be loaned to the Participant. The transfers from the
Participant’s Account to the Loan Fund shall be made in the following order: 
  

	(a)	amounts credited to the portion of the Participant’s Profit-Sharing Account attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions and earnings thereon;


  

	(b)	amounts credited to the Participant’s Rollover Account; 

  

	(c)	amounts credited to the portion of the Participant’s Profit-Sharing Account attributable to Employee Contributions and earnings thereon 


  
 - 90 -









 Loans shall not be available from amounts credited to a Participant’s ESOP Account,
Prior Employer Contributions account, or the portion of the Participant’s Profit-Sharing Account attributable to Employer Contributions and earnings thereon. If the portion of the Participant’s Account that is to be withdrawn is invested
in more than one Fund, then amounts will be withdrawn from each Fund in the order established by the Employee Benefits Committee. 
  

	(d)	Modification of Definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution to Include After-tax Employee Contributions. For purposes of clarifying the direct rollover
provisions in subsection 11.02 of the Plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However,
such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 1169(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 1165(a) of the Code 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 such distribution which is not so includible. 


 

	20.05.	Rollovers From Other Plans 


For purposes of clarifying Section 3.10, the Plan will not accept after-tax employee contributions from a qualified plan described in
Section 1165(a) of the Code. 
  

	20.08.	Payment of Certain ESOP Dividends 

 ESOP cash dividends will be reinvested in Shares.
