**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

On April 28, 2022, Humana Inc. (the "Registrant") filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-264543) (the "2022 Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register 5,000,000 additional shares of the Registrant's common stock (the "Common Stock") for issuance under the Registrant's Humana Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"), with the 2022 Registration Statement incorporating the Registrant's registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on October 29, 2009 (Registration No. 333-162747). The Registrant paid a registration fee of $202,331.66 at that time to register the securities. An indeterminate amount of interests to be offered and sold was also registered.

Effective December 31, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), the Savings Plan spun-off the Humana Savings & Investment Plan (the "HSIP") (the "Spin"). Pursuant to the Spin, a portion of the Common Stock previously registered and authorized for issuance under the Savings Plan became eligible for issuance under the HSIP. As of the Effective Date, there were 120,000 shares of Common Stock previously registered and authorized for issuance under the Savings Plan that are now eligible for issuance under the HSIP (the "Spin-Off Shares").

Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking in Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K that the Registrant disclose a material change in the plan of distribution as it was originally disclosed in the 2022 Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 2022 Registration Statement to reflect that, as of the Effective Date, the Spin-Off Shares will be available for issuance under the HSIP.

**PART I** 

**INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS**

**Item 1.** **Plan Information.\***

**Item 2.** **Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information.\***

\* Information required by Part I to be contained in the Section 10(a) prospectus is omitted from this Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act and the Note to Part I of Form S-8.

**PART II** 

**INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT**

**Item 3.** **Incorporation of Documents by Reference.**

The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" information into this Registration Statement, which means that the Registrant can disclose important information to you by referring you to documents that we file with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Registration Statement, and later information that the Registrant files with the SEC will automatically update this Registration Statement. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than, in each case, documents or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules), on or after the date of this Registration Statement and before the filing of any post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold:

(a) The Registrant's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on February 20, 2025, which contains the Registrant's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; 

(b) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's Annual Report referred to in (a) above; 

(c) the description of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.16-2/3 per share, contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed with the SEC on March 1, 1999; and 

(d) Annual Report of the Humana Retirement Savings Plan on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such documents as set forth therein. Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K prior or subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document that also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

**Item 4.** **Description of Securities.**

Not applicable.

**Item 5.** **Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.**

The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock being offered by the Registration Statement will be passed upon for the Registrant by Joseph C. Ventura, Chief Legal Officer of the Registrant. As of December 18, 2025, Mr. Ventura owned 8,971 shares of Common Stock, has the equivalent of 290 shares of Common Stock in the Savings Plan, and also has exercisable stock options to purchase 18,150 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.

**Item 6.** **Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, as amended, include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "Delaware Law") and (ii) authorize the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary.

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Law, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of a corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The Registrant believes that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit or for any willful or negligent payment of any unlawful dividend or any unlawful stock purchase or redemption.

The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any of its affiliates, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

The Registrant has also purchased an insurance policy covering the officers and directors of the Registrant with respect to certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

**Item 7.** **Exemption from Registration Claimed.**

Not applicable.

In lieu of an opinion of counsel concerning compliance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") determination letter that the Savings Plan and the HSIP are each qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted each of the Savings Plan and the HSIP and any amendment thereto to the IRS in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify each of the Savings Plan and the HSIP.

**Item 9. Undertakings.**

1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of such registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

I am the Chief Legal Officer for Humana Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"). I am delivering this opinion in connection with the registration, pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (together with any amendments thereto, the "<u>Form S-8</u>") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), covering an aggregate of one-hundred twenty thousand (120,000) shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.16 2/3 per share (the "<u>Shares</u>") to be issued to be issued in connection with the Humana Savings & Investment Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>").

In connection with this opinion, I have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals or certified, conformed, facsimile, electronic or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company, such certificates of public officials and such other documents, and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In all such examinations, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, facsimile, electronic or reproduction copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, I have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, representations and warranties contained in the documents and certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials and officers and representatives of the Company and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the documents with their covenants and agreements contained therein. I also have assumed that any future changes to the terms and conditions of the Plan will be duly authorized by the Company and will comply with all applicable laws.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, it is my opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "<u>DGCL</u>") and applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution, in each case as currently in effect, and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL and the Delaware Constitution, and no opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinion expressed herein. The opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. In addition, the opinions expressed herein are given as of the date hereof, and I undertake no obligation to update or supplement this letter if any applicable laws change after the date hereof or if I become aware of any facts that might change the opinions expressed herein after the date hereof or for any other reason.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-8 relating to the registration of the Shares. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.<br>

**ARTICLE 1 — PURPOSES, NAME AND EFFECTIVE DATE**

1.1 <u>Purposes of Plan</u> <u>.</u> 

The purposes of the Plan are to provide a source of retirement income and to encourage and assist qualified Employees in maintaining a regular savings program on a before-tax and/or an after-tax basis. This Plan has been designed to help provide additional benefits to qualified Employees at the time of retirement, disability, or termination of service, or for their Beneficiaries in the event of their death. The Plan is a profit sharing plan intended to qualify under Code section 401(a), contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Code section 401(k), permits irrevocable contributions to designated Roth accounts intended to qualify under Code section 402A, and provides for employer contributions that are intended to qualify under Code section 401(m). This Plan shall be maintained for the exclusive benefit of Employees of the Sponsoring Employer and each Related Employer that adopts the Plan pursuant to due authorization of the Sponsoring Employer.

1.2 <u>Sponsoring Employer and Name of Plan.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** Humana Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Louisville, Kentucky is the Sponsoring Employer of this, the Humana Savings & Investment Plan (the "Plan"). Humana Inc. became the sponsor of this Plan when it was known as the MCCI Group Holdings, LLC 401(k) Plan (the "MCCI Plan") effective August 31, 2018. The Plan was originally effective January 1, 2005, and until August 31, 2018, was sponsored by MCCI Group Holdings, LLC, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Humana Inc. effective March 1, 2018. Effective January 1, 2026, the Plan was renamed the Humana Savings & Investment Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** Effective August 1, 2015, the Plan was restated in the form of the Transamerica Retirement Solutions, LLC Volume Submitter 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, Basic Plan Document No. 01 and its corresponding Adoption Agreement (the "Prior Restatement"), and has been amended and restated from time to time thereafter. The Plan was restated effective December 3, 2018, to conform to the standard format and administrative provisions for Humana-sponsored qualified retirement plans. The Plan has been amended and restated to comply with the requirements of, and adopt select provisions of, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement ("SECURE") Act of 2019, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act of 2020, and the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 ("SECURE 2.0").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** Effective February 28, 2018, the Plan was frozen to future eligibility to participate in the Plan and for all future contributions to the Plan, other than any loan repayments and any qualified nonelective contributions that may be required to keep the Plan in compliance with the applicable tax qualification rules. Effective July 15, 2024, the accounts of all remaining participants in the Plan on that date were spun off into various other retirement plans sponsored by Humana Inc. Following that spin off, the Plan remained frozen to all further benefit accruals, but otherwise remained as an ongoing frozen plan maintained by Humana Inc. Effective December 31, 2025, the Plan was unfrozen and the accounts of all Participants actively employed with CenterWell Pharmacy, Inc. and Humana Pharmacy Solutions, Inc. were spun off from the Humana Retirement Savings Plan (EIN 61-0647538; PN 002) and merged with and into the MCCI Plan. Effective January 1, 2026, the Plan was amended and restated to mirror substantially, but not identically, the provisions of the Humana Retirement Savings Plan from which the merged accounts were spun off.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d)*** The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2026, to add an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") component, which is intended to qualify as a stock bonus plan under Code section 401(a) and an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Code section 4975(e). The ESOP component of the plan is designed to invest exclusively in "qualifying employer securities" as defined in Code sections 4975(e)(8) and 409(l) and ERISA section 407(d)(5) and shall consist of such securities acquired and held in the Plan and any accounts or investment funds created to hold such securities, and any

earnings thereon. The ESOP component is designed to allow for pass-through to Participants and Beneficiaries of dividends on shares of Common Stock qualifying as "qualifying employer securities" pursuant to Code sections 4975(e)(8) and 409(l) and ERISA section 407(d)(5), with an option to reinvest such amounts.

1.3 <u>Effective Date of Restatement.</u> 

Unless a different date is specified in the Plan or in a Plan amendment, the provisions of this restated Plan document are generally effective as of January 1, 2026. However, any Plan provision necessary to comply with the requirements of federal legislation or regulations, which requirements have an earlier required effective date, including such requirements as applicable to any Plan that has merged with and into this Plan, shall be effective retroactively to the date required by the applicable law or regulation, even if the required effective date precedes the date on which such merged plans merged with and into this Plan. In any case where a provision of the Plan has an effective date later than January 1, 2026, the language of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to this restatement shall continue to apply until such later effective date.

1.4 <u>Defined Terms.</u> 

Capitalized terms set forth in this document have the meanings assigned to those terms in Article 20 and in the Appendices of the Plan, unless the context clearly provides otherwise.

1.5 <u>Rights of Former Participants.</u> 

The rights of any Participant whose employment terminated before any amendment of this Plan (or any such Participant's Beneficiary) shall be determined by the provisions of this Plan as in effect at the time of the termination of employment, unless specifically otherwise provided herein or otherwise necessary to maintain the qualified status of the Plan under Code section 401(a) or to comply with the requirements of ERISA.

1.6 <u>Plan Information.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer's federal employer identification number is 61-0647538. The Plan has been assigned Plan Number 007. The Prior Restatement of the Plan relied on the IRS favorable determination letter issued to Transamerica Retirement Solutions Corporation dated March 31, 2014. The Plan was established before December 29, 2022, and accordingly is not subject to the mandatory automatic enrollment provisions of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022.

Subject to the requirements of Section 2.2(c)(3), any deferral elections in effect at the time the Participant becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan will be cancelled on the date the Participant becomes ineligible and will have no further force or effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** During the period the Participant does not meet the definition of an Employee, but is still employed by an Employer or a Nonparticipating Employer, (i) no Deferral Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, or Employer Contributions may be made by or on behalf of the Participant, and (ii) the Participant's Account Balances will continue to be determined as provided in Article 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** If a person employed by an Employer does not meet the definition of an Employee, but later meets the definition of an Employee, such person shall immediately become a Participant to the extent the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1 have been satisfied. If a person employed by a Nonparticipating Employer transfers employment and becomes an Employee of an Employer, such person shall immediately become a Participant to the extent the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1 have been satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d)*** A person does not incur a Termination of Employment when he (i) continues to be employed by an Employer but fails to meet the definition of an Employee, or (ii) transfers employment from an Employer to a Nonparticipating Employer.

3.1 <u>Pretax Contributions.</u> 

Subject to the eligibility requirements of Article 2 and the restrictions and limitations of Article 10:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Pretax Contributions.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Elective Pretax Contributions.** Each Participant may elect in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator to make Pretax Contributions in integral percentages of the Participant's Plan Compensation or, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, a specified dollar amount, up to the limits specified in Article 10. The Employer will make Pretax Contributions to each Participant's Pretax Contribution Account under the Plan in an amount equal to the amount of Plan Compensation each Participant elects to defer as provided in this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement.** An automatic Pretax Contribution equal to 3% of the Participant's Plan Compensation for the Plan Year shall be made for any Participant who is automatically enrolled in the Eligible Contribution Arrangement until the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Participant makes an affirmative election to not participate in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement, (ii) the date the Participant makes elective Pretax Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(1) or an elective Roth Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2(a), or (iii) the Participant's Automatic Enrollment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A) Return of Automatic Pretax Contributions*.*** Any Participant automatically enrolled in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement may elect within 90 days of being enrolled, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to not participate in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement and make a withdrawal of the Participant's automatic Pretax Contributions that were contributed on the Participant's behalf, as adjusted for allocable gains or losses to the date of distribution. Upon properly making such an election, the Participant will cease to participate in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement and may elect to make Pretax Contributions as provided in Section 3.1(a)(1) or Roth Contributions pursuant to Section 3.2(a). To the extent any Matching Contributions have been made with respect to Pretax Contributions that are returned to a Participant pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(2), such Matching Contributions and any earnings thereon shall be forfeited as of the date of distribution of the Participant's Pretax Contributions and shall constitute a Forfeiture as provided in Section 5.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B) Notice.** The Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code section 414(w). In compliance therewith, the Employer shall provide each eligible Employee with notice of the Employee's rights and obligations under the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement within a reasonable period of time before the beginning of each Plan Year (or, in the Plan Year an Employee first becomes eligible, before or coincident with being automatically enrolled in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement), in accordance with the requirements of Code section 414(w)(4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C) Affirmative Election.** A Participant shall cease participating in the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement, but shall remain a Participant, on the date an affirmative election is made (i) to not participate in the Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement, or (ii) to make an elective Pretax Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(1) or an elective Roth Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2(a). An affirmative election by a Participant with a future effective date is an affirmative election

to make contributions at the contribution rate in effect on the date the election is made and to change that affirmative election on the specified future effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement.** An automatic Pretax Contribution in the Qualified Percentage shall be made to a Pretax Contribution Account by an Employer on behalf of each Automatic Enrollment Participant unless and until the Automatic Enrollment Participant affirmatively elects to cease being an Automatic Enrollment Participant by electing (1) not to participate in the Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement, or (2) to make an elective Pretax Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(1) or an elective Roth Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A)** The Qualified Percentage for Automatic Enrollment Participants shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 3% of Plan Compensation for the first Plan Year that includes the Automatic Enrollment Participant's
Automatic Enrollment Date and, solely with respect to Participants whose Automatic Enrollment Date occurred before January 1, 2023, the
immediately following Plan Year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) 4% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the latest Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(i);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) 5% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(ii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) 7% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(iv);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) 8% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(v);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) 9% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(vi);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) 10% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan
Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(vii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) 11% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(viii);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) 12% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(ix);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) 13% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(x);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) 14% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(xi);
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) 15% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in Section 3.1(a)(3)(A)(xii)
and each Plan Year thereafter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Qualified Percentage for any Automatic Enrollment Participant who was an Automatic Enrollment Participant on December 31, 2017, will not be less than the Qualified Percentage that was in effect for that Automatic Enrollment Participant as of December 31, 2017 (due to the change in beginning auto enrollment percentage at 3% instead of 4% effective January 1, 2018). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Qualified Percentage for any Automatic Enrollment Participant who was an Automatic Enrollment Participant on December 31, 2022, will not be less than the Qualified Percentage that was in effect for that Automatic Enrollment Participant as of December 31, 2022 (due to the change in eligibility for the Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement effective January 1, 2023).

EXAMPLE: By way of clarification example and for the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who is hired in 2026, whose Automatic Enrollment Date occurs in the 2026 Plan Year after completing a year of Service, who is automatically enrolled at a Qualified Percentage rate of 3%, and who does not make an affirmative election to no longer participate or to participate at a different contribution rate, shall have his Qualified Percentage increased to the following percentages as soon as administratively practicable following the corresponding adjustment dates:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Qualified Percentage** | **Adjustment Date** | **Qualified Percentage** | **Adjustment Date** |
| 4% | January 1, 2028 | 10% | January 1, 2034 |
| 5% | January 1, 2029 | 11% | January 1, 2035 |
| 6% | January 1, 2030 | 12% | January 1, 2036 |
| 7% | January 1, 2031 | 13% | January 1, 2037 |
| 8% | January 1, 2032 | 14% | January 1, 2038 |
| 9% | January 1, 2033 | 15% | January 1, 2039 |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B) Notice.** The Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement is intended to satisfy the safe harbor nondiscrimination requirements of Code sections 401(k)(13) and 401(m)(12). In compliance therewith, the Employer shall provide each eligible Employee with notice of the Employee's rights and obligations under the Qualified Automatic Enrollment Arrangement within a reasonable period of time before the beginning of each Plan Year (or, in the Plan Year an Employee first becomes eligible, on or before his Automatic Enrollment Date), in accordance with the requirements of Code sections 401(k)(12) and (13).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C) Affirmative Election.** An Automatic Enrollment Participant shall cease being an Automatic Enrollment Participant, but shall remain a Participant, on the date an affirmative election is made to (1) not to participate in the Qualified Automatic

Contribution Arrangement, or (2) to make an elective Pretax Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(1) or an elective Roth Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2(a). An affirmative election by an Automatic Enrollment Participant with a future effective date is an affirmative election to make contributions at the contribution rate in effect on the date the election is made and to change that affirmative election on the specified future effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(D) Rehired Participant.** Upon rehire of an Employee who was an Automatic Enrollment Participant and who had automatic Pretax Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf in the Plan Year preceding or including the Participants rehire date, the Participant shall be reinstated as an Automatic Enrollment Participant and resume automatic Pretax Contributions in the Qualified Percentage determined as though the Automatic Enrollment Participant had remained continuously employed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Catch-Up Pretax Contributions.*** Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Participant whose total combined Pretax Contributions and Roth Contributions reaches the Annual Deferral Limit and who has attained age 50 before the close of a Plan Year shall be eligible to make catch-up Pretax Contributions, in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and limitations of Article 10 and Code section 414(v), including the adjusted dollar amount described in Code sections 414(v)(2)(B)(i) and 414(v)(2)(E) for Participants who would attain age 60 but would not attain age 64 before the last day of the Plan Year, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph (b), any Participant who is eligible to make catch-up Pretax Contributions and who has elected to make Pretax Contributions in an amount in excess of the Annual Deferral Limit shall be deemed to have elected to make catch-up Pretax Contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** A Wage Threshold Participant whose Pretax Contributions for the Plan Year do not exceed the Annual Deferral Limit may elect to make catch-up Pretax Contributions provided the Participant's total combined amount of Pretax Contributions for the Plan Year does not exceed the Annual Deferral Limit. A Wage Threshold Participant whose Pretax Contributions for the Plan Year have reached the Annual Deferral Limit may not make catch-up Pretax Contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** A Wage Threshold Participant who elects to make, or who has been deemed to have elected to make, catch-up Pretax Contributions and whose Pretax Contributions have reached the Annual Deferral Limit may be deemed to have irrevocably designated any additional catch-up Pretax Contributions as catch-up Roth Contributions pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(f)(5)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Wage Threshold Participant may make a new election that is different than this deemed election and a deemed election will cease to apply to any Participant who ceases to be a Wage Threshold Participant, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(f)(5)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Plan Administrator may apply an administrative rule that stops a Wage Threshold Participant's Pretax Contributions when the Wage Threshold Participant's Pretax Contributions in any Plan Year reaches the Annual Deferral Limit and require that the Participant affirmatively elect to make catch-up Roth Contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** Any "section 414(v)(7) failure" (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.414(v)-2(c)(2)(i)) may be corrected (A) under the Form W-2 correction method specified in Treasury Regulations section 1.414(v)-2(c)(2)(ii) for any Participant for whom a Form W-2 for the Plan Year in which the failure occurred has not been filed or furnished to the Wage Threshold Participant, or (B) under the in-plan Roth rollover correction method specified in Treasury Regulations section 1.414(v)-2(c)(2)(iii) for all other Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, catch-up Pretax Contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code sections 402(g) and 415 (that is, the Annual Deferral Limit and the dollar limitation on annual additions contained in Section 10.3). Furthermore, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up Pretax Contributions (that is, the Top Heavy Plan provisions in Section 10.4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Payroll Deduction.*** Pretax Contributions shall be made by payroll deduction and shall be paid directly by an Employer to the Trust as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following the date the deferrals are deducted from the Participant's Plan Compensation pursuant to the Participant's authorization or automatic enrollment, as applicable. If a Participant does not receive Plan Compensation for a pay period, no Pretax Contribution shall be made for such pay period, nor shall an additional Pretax Contribution be made in a later pay period to compensate for the deficiency except as provided in Section 3.1(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Changes to Pretax Contributions.*** A Participant may elect to change the amount of his Pretax Contribution for future payroll periods as provided in this Section 3.1.

Subject to the eligibility requirements of Article 2 and the restrictions and limitations of Article 10:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Elective Roth Contributions.*** Each Participant may elect in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator to make Roth Contributions in integral percentages of the Participant's Plan Compensation or, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, a specified dollar amount, up to the limits specified in Article 10. The Employer will make Roth Contributions to each Participant's Roth Account under the Plan in an amount equal to the amount of Plan Compensation each Participant elects to defer as provided in this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Catch-Up Roth Contributions.*** Each Participant whose total combined Pretax Contributions and Roth Contributions amount has reached the Annual Deferral Limit and who has attained age 50 before the close of a Plan Year shall be eligible to make catch-up Roth Contributions, in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and limitations of Article 10 and Code section 414(v), including the adjusted dollar amount described in Code sections 414(v)(2)(B)(i) and 414(v)(2)(E) for Participants who would attain age 60 but would not attain age 64 before the last day of the Plan Year, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Any Participant who is eligible to make catch-up Roth Contributions and who has elected to make Roth Contributions in amount in excess of the Annual Deferral Limit shall be deemed to have elected to make catch-up Roth Contributions.

Furthermore, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up Roth Contributions (that is, the Top Heavy Plan provisions in Section 10.4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Payroll Deduction.*** Roth Contributions shall be made by payroll deduction and shall be paid directly by an Employer to the Trust as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following the date the deferrals are deducted from the Participant's after tax Plan Compensation pursuant to the Participant's authorization. If a Participant does not receive after tax Plan Compensation for a pay period, no Roth Contribution shall be made for such pay period, nor shall an additional Roth Contribution be made in a later pay period to compensate for the deficiency except as provided in Section 3.2(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Changes to Roth Contributions.*** A Participant may elect to change the amount of his Roth Contribution for future payroll periods as provided in this Section 3.2.

Roth Contributions will not be reclassified at any time as Pretax Contributions, and Pretax Contributions will not be reclassified as Roth Contributions except to the extent provided in Sections 3.1(b), 3.11, and 6.4(e).

3.3 <u>After-Tax Contributions.</u> 

Subject to the eligibility requirements of Article 2 and the restrictions and limitations of Article 10:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Amount of After-Tax Contributions.*** Each Participant may elect in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator to make After-Tax Contributions in integral percentages of the Participant's Plan Compensation or, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, a specified dollar amount, up to the limits specified in Article 10. The Employer will make an After-Tax Contribution to each Participants After-Tax Account under the Plan in an amount equal to the amount of Plan Compensation each Participant elects to defer as provided in this Section. No Employee or Participant shall be required to make After-Tax Contributions as a condition for participation or continued participation in the Plan.

The amount of Profit Sharing Contributions determined above shall be reduced by the amount of any Forfeitures under Section 5.4(b)(ii) not previously used to reduce such Profit Sharing Contribution (and not required to restore previously forfeited amounts under Section 5.4(b)(i)). Any such Forfeitures shall be treated, allocated, and considered as part of the Profit Sharing Contribution made by the Employer for the applicable Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Allocation Requirements*.** Except as otherwise provided in Section C.2 of Appendix C, Profit Sharing Contributions will be allocated to each Participant who completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year and who is employed on the last day of the Plan Year in the ratio that such Participant's Plan Compensation bears to the Plan Compensation of all Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Timing of Contribution*.** Profit Sharing Contributions will be made for each Plan on the Valuation Date selected by the Plan Administrator, which may be after the last day of the Plan Year, and must be paid to the Trust as provided in Section 3.9.

3.6 <u>Rollover Contributions.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Rollover Contributions Generally.*** A Participant who has met the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1(a)(1) may make a written request to the Plan Administrator that the Participant be allowed to transfer to the Trust a Rollover Contribution received by such Participant, or to which such Participant is entitled, from an Eligible Retirement Plan. Rollover Contributions may be made in cash or any other property that can be held under the Plan, including under a Self-Directed Brokerage Account if elected by the Participant under Section 4.4. All such requests shall contain information concerning the type of property constituting the Rollover Contribution and a statement, satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, that the property constitutes a Rollover Contribution. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not the Participant shall be entitled to make a Rollover Contribution and the type of property that can be held under the Plan. In the event the Plan Administrator permits a Participant to make a Rollover Contribution, such property shall be transferred by (or on behalf of) the Participant to the Trust and credited to that Participant's Prior Plan/Rollover Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Roth Rollover Contributions.*** Notwithstanding Section 3.6(a), at the direction of the Plan Administrator, and in accordance with such rules as the Plan Administrator may establish from time to time, the Trustee may accept a Roth Rollover Contribution to the Trust from an Eligible Retirement Plan of any cash or other property that can be held under the Plan, including under a Self-Directed Brokerage Account if elected by the Participant under Section 4.4, and that has been designated and separately accounted for as a Roth contribution. The Trustee will allocate the property of any Roth Rollover Contribution to the Participant's Roth Rollover Account to the extent permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not the Participant shall be entitled to make a Roth Rollover Contribution. In the event the Plan Administrator permits a Participant to make a Roth Rollover Contribution, such property shall be transferred by (or on behalf of) the Participant to the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Rollovers of Outstanding Loans in Connection With Transactions.*** If an Employer acquires a group of Employees in connection with a merger, stock acquisition, asset purchase, or similar transaction that makes their employer a Related Employer, an acquired Employee who becomes a Participant may make a Rollover Contribution that includes outstanding loans subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** No Rollover Contribution that includes more than two loans will be accepted for rollover into the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Repayment of all rollover loans will be by payroll deduction or such other regular periodic payment method in the form, manner, and timing prescribed by the Plan Administrator until the loan is repaid and loans will be reamortized, if necessary, to reflect repayment by payroll according to the Participant's Employer's payroll periods or such other regular periodic payment method in the form, manner, and timing prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** General purpose loans will be reamortized, if necessary, to require full repayment of the loan no later than five years after the original date of the loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** Loans used to acquire a dwelling unit to be used as the Participant's principal residence will be accepted subject to the permissible original terms of the loan and will be reamortized, if necessary, to require full repayment of the loan by the original maturity date of the loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** In no event may the repayment period for any rollover loan be reamortized to extend beyond its original repayment term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6)** Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine whether or not a Participant may make a Rollover Contribution that includes an outstanding loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(7)** Loans included in Rollover Contributions will be administered in accordance with Article 7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Deferral Contributions and After-Tax Contributions.*** Allow the Participant to make up Deferral Contributions pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and After-Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 3.3 for the period during which the Participant was absent for Qualified Military Service to the extent those Contributions could have been made had the Participant remained continuously employed by the Employer; provided, however, that these make-up Contributions must be made within the lesser of five years or three times the length of absence for Qualified Military Service from the date of reemployment. The limitations specified in Article 10 will be applied to the make-up Contributions as if the Contributions had been made during the period the Participant was absent for Qualified Military Service to which the deferral relates, taking into account all other contributions actually made during that period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Matching Contributions.*** Make a Matching Contribution for each Participant who has met the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1(a)(2) and who makes up Eligible Deferral Contributions pursuant to subsection (b) above to the extent the Matching Contribution would have been made pursuant to Section 3.4 had the Eligible Deferral Contribution been made during the period for which the Participant was absent for Qualified Military Service; provided, however, that the Matching Contribution shall be made within the lesser of five years or three times the length of absence for Qualified Military Service, from the date of reemployment.

For the purpose of calculating the amount of any make-up Contributions to be made under this Section or the limitations applicable under Articles 3 and 10, the Participant's Plan Compensation for the period during which the Participant is absent for Qualified Military Service shall be the amount of Plan Compensation the Participant would have received had the Participant remained continuously employed, unless this amount cannot be determined with reasonable certainty, in which case the Participant's Plan Compensation shall

be the average Plan Compensation received by the Participant during (i) the 12-month period immediately preceding the period of absence for Qualified Military Service, or (ii) the Participant's employment, if less than 12 months. No Forfeitures or earnings will be allocated with respect to make-up Contributions made pursuant to this Section to the extent such Forfeitures or earnings relate to the period of absence for Qualified Military Service.

3.8 <u>Limitations and Restrictions on Contributions.</u> 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 3 to the contrary, all Pretax Contributions, Roth Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Matching Contributions, Profit Sharing Contribution, and Retirement Contributions shall be subject to the eligibility requirements of Article 2 and the limits and restrictions set forth in Sections 3.7(d) and 8.2(c)(3) and Article 10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Deductibility of Employer Contributions.*** All Employer Contributions shall be deemed made conditioned upon the deductibility of the Contribution under Code section 404. To the extent such deduction is disallowed, the Sponsoring Employer may direct the Trustee to return the disallowed portion (or all if the entire Contribution is disallowed), provided, the disallowed amount must be returned within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Special Rules.*** Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no earnings on an Employer Contribution shall be returned to an Employer and losses on the Contribution shall reduce the amount to be returned and (ii) no return of an Employer Contribution allocated to a Participant's Retirement Account or Matching Contribution Account shall be made to the extent that the Account would be reduced to less than the balance in the Account had the Retirement Contribution or Matching Contribution to be returned not been made.

3.11 <u>Correcting Administrative Errors.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** If, with respect to any Plan Year, an administrative error results in a Participant's Account not being properly credited with the amounts of Employer Contributions, Deferral Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, or earnings on any such amounts, corrective Employer contributions or account reallocations may be made in accordance with this Section. Solely for the purpose of placing any affected Participant's Account in the position that the Account would have been in had no error been made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** An Employer may make additional contributions to such Participant's Account, including qualified nonelective contributions or qualified matching contributions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** The Plan Administrator may reallocate existing contributions to the Accounts of affected Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** In addition, with respect to any Plan Year, if an administrative error results in an amount being credited to an Account for a Participant or any other individual who is not otherwise entitled to such amount, corrective action may be taken by the Employer, including a direction by the Employer to forfeit amounts erroneously credited (with such Forfeiture to be used first to reduce future Employer Contributions or other contributions to the Plan and then to pay reasonable Plan expenses), reallocate such erroneously credited amounts to other Participants' Accounts, or take such other corrective action as necessary under the circumstances. Any Plan administration error may be corrected using any appropriate correction method permitted under ERISA section 206(h), Code sections 414(aa) or 414(cc), section 305 of SECURE 2.0, the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (or any successor procedure), the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (or any successor procedure), or any other appropriate program, method, law, or guidance as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.

**ARTICLE 4 — ALLOCATIONS TO ACCOUNTS**

4.1 <u>Allocations of Contributions to Accounts.</u> 

Contributions made on behalf of each Participant shall be allocated to the Participant's Accounts as of the first Valuation Date reasonably and administratively practicable following the date such contributions are made to the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Plan Year during which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the allocation of Employer Contributions to Participants' Accounts will be subject to Section 10.4.

4.2 <u>Determination of Account Balances Invested in Funds.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Valuation of Daily Priced Funds.*** The Funds shall be valued at fair market value as of each Valuation Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, to the extent that Participants' Accounts are invested in mutual funds or other assets for which daily pricing is available ("Daily Pricing Media"), all amounts contributed to the Fund will be invested at the time of the actual receipt by the Daily Pricing Media, and the balance of each Account shall reflect the results of such daily pricing from the time of actual receipt until the time of distribution. In addition, each Participant's Accounts will be: (i) credited with all contributions made by him or on his behalf as well as amounts transferred to the Plan on his behalf; and (ii) debited with the amount of any withdrawal or distribution made to him or on his behalf, or any other deduction or adjustment made to his Account, pursuant to any provision of this Plan. The provisions of Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c) shall apply only to the extent, if any, that assets of the Fund are not invested in Daily Pricing Media.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Valuation of Other Funds.*** Each Participant's Accounts will be credited with all Contributions made by him or on his behalf as well as amounts transferred to the Plan on his behalf. Except as provided in Section 4.2(a), the Accounts of each Participant will also be credited, as of each Valuation Date, with the Participant's share of the net investment income and any realized and unrealized capital gains of the Funds that occurred since the last Valuation Date. Except to the extent otherwise reflected in the value of mutual fund shares, such Participant's share of such income will be that portion of the total net investment income and capital gains of each such Fund which bears the same ratio to such total as the balance of his Participant Accounts attributable to each such Fund on the preceding Valuation Date bears to the aggregate of the balances of all Participant Accounts attributable to each such Fund as of the preceding Valuation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Debits to Accounts.*** Each Participant's Accounts will be debited with the amount of any forfeiture made pursuant to Article 5, any distribution made to him or on his behalf pursuant to Article 6, any loan made to him pursuant to Article 7, any withdrawal made by him pursuant to Article 8, and any other reductions or adjustments to his Accounts made pursuant to any other provision of the Plan. Except as provided in Section 4.2(a), the Accounts of each such Participant will also be debited, as of each Valuation Date, with the Participant's share of any realized and unrealized losses, including capital losses, of the Funds that occurred since the last Valuation Date. Except to the extent otherwise reflected in the value of mutual fund shares, the Participant's share of any realized and unrealized losses, including capital losses, will be that portion of the total realized and unrealized losses of each such Fund which bear the same ratio to such total as the balance of his Participant Accounts attributable to each such Fund on the preceding Valuation Date bears to the aggregate of the balances of all Participant Accounts attributable to each such Fund as of the preceding Valuation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Applicable Valuation Date***. For purposes of investment elections and changes in investment elections, the applicable Valuation Date shall be the daily Valuation Date established in accordance with rules established by the Plan Administrator. Whenever an adjustment, deduction, distribution, or withdrawal is made from a Participant's Account, the amount of the adjustment, deduction, distribution, or withdrawal will be based on the value of the Account determined as of the date of the

adjustment, deduction, distribution, or withdrawal. Whenever a loan to a Participant is made, the amount of such loan shall be based on the value of his Accounts as of the Valuation Date determined in accordance with Article 7.

4.3 <u>Participant Election of Investment of Contributions and Accounts in Funds.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Direction to Invest Contributions in Funds.*** A Participant may direct, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, the portion of Contributions made on behalf of the Participant to be invested in each Fund in any increment prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall remain in effect until a subsequent election is made in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.3. The total of all such investment directions shall equal 100% of the Contributions amount. Each Participant may change the investment direction as of any Valuation Date, in increments as described above and in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Such changes in investment direction shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable and shall apply to any Contributions made to the Plan thereafter. The investment direction under this Section 4.3(a) also shall apply to amounts transferred to the Plan and placed in a Prior Plan/Rollover Account. Restructuring of the investment allocation with respect to Accounts in which Contributions and transfer amounts are held may be effective as provided in Section 4.3(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Restructuring Investment Allocation of Funds in Accounts.*** Notwithstanding the above to the contrary, a Participant may direct, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to restructure the investment allocation of Funds in the Participant's Accounts, including any amounts in his Account invested in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund, by electing to have the investment allocations in his Account transferred from one or more Funds to any another Fund or Funds pursuant to any asset allocation, as selected by the Participant (or Beneficiary, if the Participant is deceased), in any increment prescribed by the Plan Administrator, provided that the allocation totals 100%. The restructuring shall be effective as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following the Trustee's receipt of a properly completed election, and shall remain in effect until a subsequent election is made in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Qualified Default Investment Alternative.*** Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the Account of each Participant, including an Automatic Enrollment Participant, who does not otherwise properly provide investment directions for those Accounts as prescribed herein will be invested in the Qualified Default Investment Alternative unless and until the Participant properly provides investment direction otherwise as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Dividends on Common Stock.*** In accordance with Section 4.9, cash dividends on Common Stock in a Participant's Account shall be reinvested in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund unless the Participant elects to receive a distribution of such cash dividends pursuant to the election procedure described in Section 4.9.

4.4 <u>Power of Participants to Direct Investment of Accounts in Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Election To Invest Accounts***. Each Participant may elect to have all or any portion of the Participant's Accounts allocated to a Self-Directed Brokerage Account and invested in investment vehicles other than the Funds. The Participant's investment direction with respect to the Participant's Self-Directed Brokerage Account shall remain in effect until changed by the Participant pursuant to subsequent directions given in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Expenses of Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts***. All earnings (or losses) and expenses (which shall include but shall not be limited to brokerage fees, commissions, or Account administration fees) of each Self-Directed Brokerage Account shall be determined separately and credited or debited to each Self-Directed Brokerage Account, and all other adjustments provided herein shall be made to such

Self-Directed Brokerage Account. Prior to distribution of any Self-Directed Brokerage Account, the Plan Administrator shall liquidate the investments of a Self-Directed Brokerage Account to the extent necessary to pay any unpaid expenses of the Self-Directed Brokerage Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Investment Restrictions on Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts***. The Plan Administrator, at its discretion, may restrict the investments available under a Self-Directed Brokerage Account.

4.5 <u>Additional Provisions Concerning Accounts.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Responsibility for Accounts.*** All Accounts shall be established, and records concerning all Accounts shall be maintained, by the Plan Administrator or some other person or entity designated by the Plan Administrator. The Trustee shall invest the Trust without segregating assets among Employers or Accounts, subject to the requirements of Section 4.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Fund Transfers.*** Transfers, made pursuant to Participant elections under Sections 4.3 and 4.4, to (or from) a Fund shall be reflected in the Participant's Account at the value of the Fund units on the date the purchase or sale is consummated (regardless of the date the election was made and regardless of the value as of any Valuation Date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) ERISA Section 404(c).*** The Plan is intended to be an "ERISA section 404(c) plan" with respect to a Participant investment direction of the Participant's Accounts in the Funds or a Self-Directed Brokerage Account. The Plan Administrator shall be the fiduciary identified to furnish the information required by the regulations under section 404(c) of ERISA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** The Funds and the options under a Self-Directed Brokerage Account shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion in such a way as to provide Participants with a broad range of investment alternatives as described in the regulations under section 404(c) of ERISA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall specify the Funds and Self-Directed Brokerage Account options available to Participants such that Plan Participants may at all times choose from at least three investment alternatives (i) each of which is diversified, (ii) each of which has materially different risk and return characteristics, (iii) which in the aggregate enable the Participant by choosing among them to achieve a portfolio with aggregate risk and return characteristics at any point within the range normally appropriate for the Participant, and (iv) each of which when combined with investments in the three alternatives tends to minimize through diversification the overall risk of the investments of a Participant's Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** As it may deem necessary or desirable, the Plan Administrator also may modify a Fund offering or investment option as well as the frequency or manner of giving investment directions. Notwithstanding any other restriction as to the frequency of giving investment directions imposed by the Plan Administrator, Participants shall be able to give investment directions at least once in each calendar quarter with respect to the three investment alternatives described above. With respect to any other investment alternative, any restriction on the frequency of giving investment directions shall comply with the requirements of the regulations under section 404(c) of ERISA.

4.6 <u>Humana Unitized Stock Fund.</u> 

In addition to the investment options designated by the Plan Administrator, Accounts may be invested in an investment option that shall be maintained under the Plan as provided in this Section 4.6 which Fund shall be known as the Humana Unitized Stock Fund. Effective December 1, 2011, the Humana Unitized Stock Fund shall be held in the ESOP component of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** Although unitized for Plan recordkeeping purposes effective April 1, 2002, the Humana Unitized Stock Fund shall be maintained in whole shares of Common Stock and such cash as deemed necessary and advisable by the Trustee (or the Humana Unitized Stock Fund Fiduciary) in order to provide the necessary monies for exchanges or redemptions, subject to any limitations specified in the Trust Agreement. A liquidity target range for the cash portion of the Humana Unitized Stock Fund shall be established by the Sponsoring Employer acting as Plan sponsor. Same day exchanges in Common Stock in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund may be suspended for a time if there is an imbalance in sales and purchases of Common Stock and net sales significantly exceed the targeted liquidity level. The Humana Unitized Stock Fund shall not be eliminated as a Fund under the Plan other than through an amendment of the Plan by the Sponsoring Employer acting as Plan sponsor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** The Sponsoring Employer intends that the Humana Unitized Stock Fund be a permanent feature of the Plan and continue to be invested exclusively in Common Stock as provided in this Section 4.6 without regard to (i) the diversification of assets, (ii) the risk profile of investments in Common Stock, (iii) the amount of income provided by Common Stock, or (iv) the fluctuation in the fair market value of Common Stock, unless the Humana Unitized Stock Fund Fiduciary, using an abuse of discretion standard, determines from reliable public information that there is a serious question concerning the Sponsoring Employer's short-term viability as a going concern. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a bankruptcy filing would raise a serious question concerning the Sponsoring Employer's short-term viability as a going concern only if the Humana Unitized Stock Fund Fiduciary were to determine that, in light of a proposed restructuring in bankruptcy and other factors, it was unlikely there would be any meaningful distribution to the Plan as a stockholder of the Sponsoring Employer.

4.7 <u>Voting or Tendering Common Stock</u> <u>.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Procedures.*** The following provisions shall apply to a Participant voting or tendering Common Stock:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Each Participant is, for purposes of this Section 4.7(a), hereby designated a "named fiduciary," within the meaning of section 403(a)(1) of ERISA with respect to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock attributable to his Accounts and (ii) for purposes of Section 4.7(a)(2), his proportionate share (as determined pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(2) or 4.7(a)(3), as applicable) of that portion of the shares of Common Stock attributable to all Participants' Accounts for which Participants do not give timely instructions as described in such Section (such proportionate share being determined at the respective times such fiduciary rights are exercisable as set forth below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Each Participant shall have the right to instruct the Trustee in writing as to the manner in which to vote (i) the shares of Common Stock attributable to his Accounts, and (ii) his proportionate share (as determined in the last sentence of this Section 4.7(a)(2)) of that portion of the shares of Common Stock (of whatever class) attributable to all Participants' Accounts for which Participants do not give timely instructions (as described in Section 4.7(b)), at any shareholders' meeting of the Sponsoring Employer. An individual's proportionate share of shares of Common Stock for purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock which are attributable to such individual's Accounts for which he provides instructions to the Trustee and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock attributable to all Participants' Accounts for which instructions are provided to the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** Each Participant shall have the right (as described in Section 4.7(c)) to instruct the Trustee in writing as to the manner in which to respond to a tender or exchange offer with respect to shares of Common Stock attributable to his Accounts. The Trustee shall follow the direction of those Participants who provide timely instructions to the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Shareholders Meetings.*** The Sponsoring Employer shall use its best efforts to timely distribute or cause to be distributed to each Participant the information distributed to shareholders of the Sponsoring Employer in connection with any shareholders' meeting, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on how such shares of Common Stock shall be voted on each such matter. Upon timely receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall, on each such matter, vote as directed the appropriate number of shares (including fractional shares) of Common Stock. The instructions received by the Trustee from individual Participants shall be held by the Trustee in strict confidence and shall not be divulged to any person, including employees, officers and directors of the Sponsoring Employer or any affiliate; provided, however, that, to the extent necessary for the operation of the Plan, such instructions may be relayed by or to the Trustee to or from a recordkeeper, auditor or other person providing services to the Plan if such person (i) is not the Sponsoring Employer, an affiliate or any employee, officer or director thereof, and (ii) agrees not to divulge such directions to any other person, including employees, officers and directors of the Sponsoring Employer and its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Tender or Exchange Offers.*** The Sponsoring Employer shall use its best efforts to timely distribute or cause to be distributed to each Participant the information distributed to shareholders of the Sponsoring Employer in connection with any tender or exchange offer. Upon timely receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall respond as instructed with respect to such shares of such Common Stock. If, and to the extent that, the Trustee shall not have received timely instructions from any individual given a right to instruct the Trustee with respect to certain shares by Section 4.7(a)(3), such individual shall be deemed to have timely instructed the Trustee not to tender or exchange such shares. The instructions received by the Trustee from individual Participants shall be held by the Trustee in strict confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including employees, officers and directors of the Sponsoring Employer or any affiliate; provided, however, that, to the extent necessary for the operation of the Plan, such instructions may be relayed to or by the Trustee to or from a recordkeeper, auditor or other person providing services to the Plan if such person (i) is not the Sponsoring Employer, an affiliate or any employee, officer or director thereof, and (ii) agrees not to divulge such instructions to any other person, including employees, officers and directors of the Sponsoring Employer and its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** Notwithstanding the diversification opportunities afforded Participants in Section 4.3(b) to comply with Code section 401(a)(35), for the avoidance of doubt and compliance with Code section 401(a)(28), a Participant who has attained age 55, has completed at least ten years of Participation in the Plan, and whose ESOP Common Stock Account contains Eligible Stock (as hereinafter defined) the Fair Market Value of which, determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the first day such Participant is eligible to make a diversification election, exceeds five hundred dollars ($500), may elect within 90 days after the close of each Plan Year during the Election Period (as hereinafter defined) to direct the Plan as to the diversification of up to 25% of the Eligible Stock in his ESOP Common Stock Account less the number of shares that have previously been diversified pursuant to this Section 4.8; provided that in the case of the last Plan Year during the Election Period, the Participant may elect to diversify up to 50% of the Eligible Stock in his ESOP Common Stock Account less the number of shares that have previously been diversified pursuant to this Section 4.8. If a Participant's employment terminated prior to attaining age 55 but such Participant had completed at least ten years of Participation as of such termination of employment, such Participant shall be permitted to make a diversification election in accordance with the

terms of this Section 4.8 on and after the date the Participant reaches age 55 with respect to any amounts then remaining in his ESOP Common Stock Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** For purposes of this Section, "Election Period" means the period of six consecutive Plan Years beginning with the later of the Plan Year in which the Participant attained age 55 or completed ten years of Participation in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** For purposes of this Section 4.8, "Eligible Stock" as of the end of any Plan Year means the total number of shares of Common Stock that have ever been allocated a Participant's ESOP accounts provided, however, that in no case may a Participant diversify more shares of Common Stock for any diversification election than the number of shares attributable to the Participant's ESOP accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d)*** The diversification election shall be satisfied by the Participant electing to: (i) transfer the portion of his ESOP Common Stock Account as to which diversification is elected (the "Diversified Amount") among the Funds in whole percentages of 1% or more; or (ii) to receive a distribution of the portion of the Diversified Amount, if eligible. Any such transfer of investment or distribution shall be implemented or made no later than the 180th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the Participant's election is made. Any such distribution shall be in the form of Common Stock or cash as elected by the Participant, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(a)(4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e)*** Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.8 to the contrary, a Participant may elect to diversify any investment amount in his ESOP Common Stock Account according to Section 4.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** The election described in this Section 4.9 shall be made in accordance with the written, electronic or telephonic method prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Such an election made by a Participant shall remain in effect for all subsequent cash dividends paid with respect to Common Stock attributable to the Participant's ESOP Common Stock Account, but the Participant may change his or her election at any time. Such an election must be made with respect to all future cash dividends paid with respect to Common Stock attributable to the Participant's ESOP Common Stock Account, and may not be made merely with respect to a portion of such dividends. The Plan Administrator may establish procedures governing the time when such elections, or modifications of such elections, will be effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** In the absence of such an election of a Participant to receive a distribution of cash dividends as provided in this Section, the Committee shall presume that the Participant has elected that such dividends shall remain in the ESOP Common Stock Account with respect to which such dividends are attributable and be reinvested in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B) <u>Years Before Five Consecutive Breaks in Service</u>*.*** In the case of a Participant (or Merged Participant) who, upon Termination of Employment, has no vested interest in any Accounts, Years of Vesting Service before a Participant's (or Merged Participant's) Break in Service shall not be taken into account in determining the Participant's (or Merged Participant's) vested percentage in such balances if the number of consecutive Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of five consecutive Breaks in Service, or the aggregate number of Years of Vesting Service prior to such Breaks in Service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Acquisitions*.*** In the event that an Employer acquires a group of Employees in connection with a merger, stock acquisition, asset purchase, or similar transaction, or the Plan Administrator permits the transfer of the Employees' accounts from another qualified plan, the prior service with the Employees' predecessor employer will be included in calculating Years of Vesting Service unless the Employer, at its sole discretion, determines otherwise.

5.4 <u>Forfeitures and Unclaimed Benefits.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Forfeiture of Nonvested Portion of Participant Accounts.*** If a Participant separates from service before becoming 100% vested in any Matching Contributions allocated to his Matching Contribution Account, Profit Sharing Contributions allocated to his Profit Sharing Account, or employer matching contributions of his prior employer allocated to his Prior Plan/Rollover Account, the nonvested portions of the Participant's Matching Contribution Account, Profit Sharing Account, and Prior Plan/Rollover Account shall be forfeited to the Plan as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following: (i) the date the Participant receives a distribution of the vested portion of his Accounts; or (ii) the date the Participant incurs five consecutive Breaks in Service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Subsequent Claim for Benefit.** If the Participant or a Beneficiary presents to the Plan Administrator a valid claim for any Benefit forfeited to the Plan under Section 5.4(d)(1), the

Plan Administrator shall cause the forfeited Benefit to be restored (along with earnings from the date of forfeiture to the date of restoration) first from Forfeitures and then from Employer Contributions. Expenses incurred in the attempt to locate such Participant or Beneficiary may be charged against the Benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary or shall be paid as otherwise provided in Section 14.8.

Subject to the cash-out provisions of Section 6.4, the employment transfer rules of Section 2.5 and Article 17, and the minimum distribution rules of Code section 401(a)(9) and Section 6.1(d), a Benefit distributable upon Termination of Employment (other than by reason of death, Disability, or retirement on or after the Participant's Normal Retirement Date) shall be distributed or distribution shall commence as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following such termination and receipt of the terminated Participant's distribution election in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Solely for purposes of this Section 6.1(a), a Participant on leave for Qualified Military Service for a period of at least 30 days shall be deemed to have Termination of Employment to the extent required under Code section 414(u)(12).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Distributions Upon Retirement or Disability***. Subject to the cash-out provisions of Section 6.4 and the minimum distribution rules of Code section 401(a)(9) and Section 6.1(d), a Benefit distributable to a Participant who retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date or who becomes Disabled shall be distributed, or distribution shall commence, as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following the date the Participant retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date or becomes Disabled and receipt of the retired or Disabled Participant's distribution election in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Distributions Upon Death.*** The Benefit of a Participant who dies shall be distributed, or shall commence to be distributed, to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon as reasonably and administratively practicable following the later of (i) the Participant's date of death; or (ii) the date elected by the Participant's Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distribution of a deceased Participant's Benefit shall commence no later than the Required Beginning Date for such Benefit. If a Participant dies after distribution of the Participant's Benefit has commenced, the remaining portion of such Benefit shall continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect immediately prior to the Participant's death. If there is no Eligible Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death eligible for distribution of the Participant's Benefit, the minimum amount that must be distributed to any Beneficiary 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 (using the Single Life Table set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-9) calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. In addition, the following provision shall apply with respect to any Participant who dies on or after January 1, 2020:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Definitions**. For purposes of this Section 6.1(c), the following definitions apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Distributions to a Non-designated Beneficiary**. Regardless of whether distribution of the Participant's Benefit has commenced, if a Participant dies with an Account Balance and his Beneficiary is a Non-designated Beneficiary (including if a Participant's Beneficiary is his estate pursuant to Section 9.3), the Participant's entire Benefit distributable to the Non-designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the Non-designated Beneficiary no later than December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Distributions to a Non-eligible Designated Beneficiary**. Regardless of whether distribution of the Participant's Benefit has commenced, if a Participant dies with an Account Balance and his Beneficiary is a Non-eligible Designated Beneficiary, the Participant's entire Benefit distributable to the Non-eligible Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the Non-eligible Designated Beneficiary no later than December 31 of the calendar year containing the tenth anniversary of the Participant's death.

For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving Spouse's death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving Spouse as of the Spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the Spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C)** If a Participant's Eligible Designated Beneficiary is not solely the Participant's Spouse, each Eligible Designated Beneficiary's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of that Eligible Designated Beneficiary in the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5) Distribution to an Eligible Designated Beneficiary If Participant Dies Before Benefits Commence.** If a Participant dies before distribution of the Participant's Benefit has commenced and his Beneficiary is an Eligible Designated Beneficiary, the Participant's entire Benefit shall be distributed to the Eligible Designated Beneficiary no later than December 31 of the calendar year containing the tenth anniversary of the Participant's death, except to the extent that an election is made by an Eligible Designated Beneficiary to receive distributions in accordance with Section 6.1(c)(5)(A) or 6.1(c)(5)(B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A)** If a Participant's Eligible Designated Beneficiary is not solely the Participant's Spouse, distributions may be made in substantially equal installments to each Eligible Designated Beneficiary over the remaining life expectancy of that Eligible Designated Beneficiary, commencing no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B)** If the Participant's sole Eligible Designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving Spouse, the date distributions are required to commence in accordance with Section 6.1(c)(5)(A) shall not be earlier than the later of: (i) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died; or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained his Applicable Age (in all cases, if later).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C)** If the Participant had not elected the method of distribution prior to the Participant's death, the Eligible Designated Beneficiary must elect the method of distribution no later than the earlier of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which distributions would have commenced under Section 6.1(c)(5), or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year which contains the tenth anniversary of the date of the Participant's death.

If the Participant has an Eligible Designated Beneficiary by September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, but the Eligible Designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of distribution, distribution of the Participant's entire interest in the Plan must be completed by the December 31 of the calendar year containing the tenth anniversary of the Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(D)** For purposes of this Section 6.1(c)(5), for purposes of calculating the life expectancy of a designated Beneficiary, the Single Life Table set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-9 shall be used.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6) Death of Surviving Spouse.** If the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant, but before payments to such Spouse begin, the provisions of Section 6.1(c)(5) shall apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant, except for the provisions of Section 6.1(c)(5)(A).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(7) Commencement.** For purposes of this Section 6.1(c), distribution of a Participant's Benefit is deemed to commence on the Participant's Required Beginning Date, or if Section 6.1(c)(6) applies, the date distribution is required to commence to the surviving Spouse pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(5)(B); provided, however, if distribution in the form of an annuity has irrevocably commenced prior to the Participant's Required Beginning Date, the Participant's Benefit is considered to commence on the date distribution actually commences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Minimum Distributions***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Amounts.** If the Participant's Benefit is to be distributed in required minimum amounts pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) or pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(5), then the amount to be distributed each distribution calendar year must be at least an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balances by the distribution period in the Uniform Life Table set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or (ii) if the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant's Spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balances by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's and Spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and Spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar year. If the Participant's Benefit is to be distributed in the form of an annuity, distributions thereunder shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-6. Notwithstanding

any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, required minimum distributions shall be made in accordance with Code section 401(a)(9).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Required Commencement.** Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, and except as provided in Section 6.1(e), the Account Balance of a Participant must be distributed, or commence to be distributed, no later than the first day of April of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant (i) attains his Applicable Age, or (ii) retires; provided, however, for a Participant who is a Five-Percent Owner, distribution must be made or commenced no later than the first day of April of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains his Applicable Age.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) Deferring Commencement***. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, unless the Participant elects otherwise, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, payments under the Plan to a Participant shall begin not later than the 60<sup>th</sup> day after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which (i) occurs the Participant's Normal Retirement Date; (ii) occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or (iii) the Participant terminates employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Participant to consent to a distribution while a benefit is immediately distributable shall be deemed to be an election to defer commencement of payment of any benefit sufficient to satisfy this paragraph.

6.2 <u>Forms of Distribution of Benefit.</u> 

A Participant or Beneficiary may elect distribution of his Benefit in any form provided in this Section 6.2. The election by the Participant or the Beneficiary shall be in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator. The choice of forms for distributions shall be as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Single Sum Distribution.*** A single sum distribution in cash, unless a Participant elects otherwise as provided in Section 6.2(d), equal to 100% of the Account Balance on the last Valuation Date preceding the distribution date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Partial Sum Distribution.*** A partial sum distribution in cash, unless a Participant elects otherwise as provided in Section 6.2(d), in an amount elected by the Participant that is equal to at least $1,000 but is less than 100% of the Participant's account balance on the last Valuation Date preceding distribution date, subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Partial sum distributions will be deducted pro rata from all Funds in which the Account is invested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** A Participant may direct that the partial sum distribution be made from any of his Accounts (including subaccounts) or any combination of Accounts, to the extent those Accounts are funded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** If any Participant does not specify the Account or Accounts from which he wishes to receive his distribution, the partial sum distribution will be made pro rata from all of his Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** A Participant who is receiving installment payments under Section 6.3(a)(3) will have his installment payments reduced based upon a reduction in his Account Balance equal to the amount of each partial sum distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** Any Account Balance remaining after a partial sum distribution is made will be subject to distribution according to Section 6.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Installments.*** Substantially equal monthly, quarterly, or annual installments for a period of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years not to exceed the life expectancy of the Participant, or the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary. Installment payments shall be deducted pro rata from all of a Participant's Accounts and all Funds in which such Accounts are invested, unless a Participant elects otherwise as provided in Section 6.2(d);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) In Kind.*** A Participant may elect, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to receive his distribution in (i) cash, (ii) Common Stock (if the Participant holds a position in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund, in which case the number of shares of Common Stock distributed will be limited to the approximate percentage of Common Stock customarily held within the Humana Unitized Stock Fund multiplied by the Participant's position and the balance of the position paid in cash), (iii) any position that can be distributed from the Participant's Self-Directed Brokerage Account, or (iv) any combination of cash, Common Stock, or distributable position. In kind distributions will be subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** Notwithstanding the foregoing, fractional shares of Common Stock will be paid in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Valuation Date as of which the distribution amount is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** If a Participant elects to receive installment payments and elects to receive part of his distribution in shares of Common Stock, the procedures specified in Section 6.3(a)(4) shall be applied as of each Valuation Date and the number of whole shares of Common Stock distributed to the Participant with each installment shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise held in the Participant's Accounts by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the number of unpaid annual installments.

6.3 <u>Direct Rollover Option.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Eligible Rollover Distribution*.** A Participant who is entitled to a distribution of the Participant's vested Account Balance shall be entitled to elect to make a "direct rollover" of that Benefit which constitutes an "eligible rollover distribution" to another Eligible Retirement Plan pursuant to the requirements of Code section 401(a)(31). A Participant who has not separated from service and is entitled to a distribution of his vested Account Balance shall be entitled to elect to make a direct rollover of that Benefit which constitutes an "eligible rollover distribution" to another Eligible Retirement Plan pursuant to the requirements of Code section 401(a)(31). The terms "eligible rollover distribution" and "direct rollover" shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(31) and 402(c); provided, however, that those terms shall exclude a distribution which is a hardship distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Non-Spouse Beneficiary Rollover.*** Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3(a), solely to the extent permitted under Code section 402(c)(11), with respect to any portion of a distribution from the Plan on behalf of a deceased Participant, if a direct trust-to-trust transfer is made to an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), which is established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of an individual who is a designated beneficiary (as defined by Code section 401(a)(9)(E)) of the Participant and who is not the surviving Spouse of the Participant, the transfer shall be treated as an eligible rollover distribution for purposes of this Plan and Code section 402(c). For purposes of this paragraph, to the extent provided in regulations or other guidance prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service under Code section 402(c)(11), a trust maintained for the benefit of one or more designated beneficiaries shall be treated in the same manner as a trust designated beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Direct Rollover.*** A direct rollover shall be accomplished by direct transfer by the Trustee of all or a portion of the Benefit to the trust of the transferee plan by any reasonable method permitted by regulations and may be paid in cash or Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Outstanding Loans*.** Subject to the timing restrictions set forth in Section 7.4(b), to the extent a Participant has a loan outstanding at the time of distribution, such loan may be rolled over pursuant to this Section 6.4 to another qualified plan that will accept such loan rollover.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) In-plan Roth Conversion Contribution*.** A Participant who is fully vested in his entire Account Balance, regardless of whether he is entitled to a distribution of his Benefit or has had a Termination of Employment, may irrevocably elect to make a Roth Conversion Contribution of all or any portion of his vested Account Balance not already designated as a Roth Contribution to the Participant's Roth Conversion Account in the Plan to the extent consistent with Code section 402A. The amount of any Roth Conversion Contribution elected by a Participant shall be reported as includable in that Participant's gross income to the extent the amount would have been includable in gross income had the conversion been rolled over to a Roth IRA in the taxable year in which the Roth Conversion Contribution occurs.

6.4 <u>Automatic Cash-out of Benefit.</u> 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** If a Participant separates from service for any reason and the value of his nonforfeitable Account Balance does not exceed $1,000 at the time of this distribution, the Plan Administrator shall cause such Account Balance to be distributed, as soon as reasonably and administratively feasible following the Participant's Termination of Employment or, if later, the date the Participant's Account Balance does not exceed $1,000, in the form of a single sum distribution under Section 6.2(a) directly to the Participant unless the Participant elects, within the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, a direct rollover under Section 6.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** If a Participant separates from service for any reason and the value of his nonforfeitable Account Balance exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed $7,000 at the time of the distribution, the Plan Administrator shall cause such Account Balance to be distributed, as soon as reasonably and administratively feasible following the Participant's Termination of Employment or, if later, the date the Participant's Account Balance exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed $7,000 in the form of an automatic direct rollover to an individual retirement account maintained by a provider selected by the Committee unless the Participant elects, within the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, a single sum distribution under Section 6.2(a) or a direct rollover under Section 6.3 to an individual retirement account or another plan designated by the Participant. Any distribution under this Section shall be effected without the Participant's consent (or that of the Participant's Spouse).

6.5 <u>Processing Charges.</u> 

A reasonable non-refundable processing charge in an amount as determined by the Plan Administrator may be assessed to the Participant's Accounts for each distribution made under this Article 6.

**ARTICLE 7 — LOANS**

7.1 <u>Loans to Participants.</u> 

Subject to the provisions of this Article 7, a Participant who is actively employed by an Employer may apply, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, for a loan from the Participant's eligible loan Accounts, to the extent vested. A Participant's eligible loan Accounts do not include the Participant's Dividend Account. Loans associated with Rollover Contributions will be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6(c). The Plan Administrator shall establish rules and procedures for all loans under the Plan, which rules and procedures are incorporated by reference herein. Loans made to Participants who subsequently transfer employment to a Nonparticipating Employer will be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article 17.

7.2 <u>Loan Limits.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Maximum Loan Amount.*** The aggregate of the loans to a Participant shall not exceed at any time the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the highest balance of loans from the Plan during the one year period ending on the day before the date on which such loan is made, or (ii) 50% of the vested portion of the Participant's eligible loan Accounts. No Participant loan shall exceed the present value of the vested Account Balances and no loan shall be in an amount which is less than $1,000. Loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Aggregated Loan Limit.*** For purposes of the limitations contained in Section 7.2(a), all loans from all plans of the Sponsoring Employer and other members of a group of related employers described in Code sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) shall be aggregated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Maximum Loans.*** A Participant may not have more than two loans from the Plan outstanding at any time.

7.3 <u>Rate of Interest.</u> 

All loans are considered investments of a Participant's Accounts and as such, shall be adequately secured and shall bear a reasonable rate of interest in accordance with Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations, as determined by the Plan Administrator.

7.4 <u>Repayment of Loans.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) General Requirements for Loan Repayment.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Enforceable Agreement.** Each Participant to whom a loan is made shall execute a legally enforceable agreement for the loan, the terms of which comply with Code section 72(p), and shall secure the payment of principal and interest on the loan by an assignment of the Participant's interest in the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Minimum and Maximum Loan Repayment Periods*.*** All loans shall be repaid by the Participant when determined by the Plan Administrator, provided, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(d), under no circumstances shall the repayment be later than four years from the date made, unless such loan is used to acquire a dwelling unit which, within a reasonable time (determined at the time the loan is made), will be used as the principal residence of the Participant, in which case the repayment shall be made no later than ten years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Loan Repayment Methods**. Equal installments of principal and interest shall be made on the loan each payroll period by automatic payroll deduction, or such other regular periodic payment method in the form, manner, and timing prescribed by the Plan Administrator, until the loan is repaid; provided, however, that the Participant may prepay the remaining loan balance at any time before the date the final loan payment is due in the form, manner, and timing prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Default.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Default Event.** A Participant's loan shall be in default upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a "default event"): (i) upon the failure of a Participant to make loan payments when due in the form, manner, and timing determined by the Plan Administrator and if such failure is not cured by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the payment was due, or the occurrence of some other default event set forth in the enforceable agreement, (ii) upon the Participant's request for a distribution of any portion of his Account Balance that includes any amount securing the loan, or (iii) upon distribution of a Participant's Account Balance due to termination of the Plan. For these purposes, payment on the loan will be deemed made, and a default event will not occur, if the Participant has elected to roll over the loan pursuant to Section 6.4(d) to another qualified plan and such plan has agreed to accept such loan rollover.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Loan Acceleration and Account Balance Offset**. Any outstanding loan balance shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any default event, whether or not the Participant has requested distribution of the Participant's Benefit at that time. The Plan Administrator shall deem distributed, or offset, as appropriate, any unpaid principal and interest due on the loan from the Participant's Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable following the first incurred default event, whether or not the Participant has requested a distribution of the Participant's Benefit at that time. If at the time of offset the Participant's Account Balance is less than the unpaid principal and interest due under the terms of the Participant's enforceable agreement, the difference shall be deemed in default and immediately due and payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Suspension During Leave of Absence.*** If a Participant takes an approved leave of absence in accordance with the Sponsoring Employer's written leave of absence policy, payments on any outstanding loan will be suspended for up to 1 year; provided, however, that interest shall continue to accrue on any unpaid loan balance. The suspension period under this Section 7.4(c) shall end on the earliest to occur of (i) the date the Participant ceases to be in an active status on the Employer's personnel records, (ii) the date the Participant returns to work, or (iii) the date that is 1 year after the date the Participant's leave of absence began. Upon the termination of any suspension period, all outstanding loans shall be repaid as provided in Section 7.4(a) or 7.4(b); provided, however, that suspension under this Section 7.4(c) shall not extend the latest permissible term of the loan specified in Section 7.4(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Qualified Military Service.*** At the Employer's election, loan repayments may be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code section 414(u)(4) with respect to absence from work during Qualified Military Service and as permitted under Code section 72(p) with respect to service in the uniformed services.

7.5 <u>Processing Charges.</u> 

A reasonable non-refundable processing charge in an amount as determined by the Plan Administrator may be assessed to the Participant's Accounts for each loan made.

7.6 <u>Pro Rata Application.</u> 

Any loan made pursuant to this Article 7 will be deducted pro rata from the Funds in which the Account is invested and will be deducted pro rata from the Participant's vested Accounts. Loan repayments pursuant to this Article 7 will be credited pro rata to the Funds for which the Participant has directed to invest new contributions to the Plan (or, if the Participant has not directed the investments for his Account, the Qualified Default Investment Alternative) and will be credited pro rata to the Participant's Accounts from which the loan was deducted.

7.7 <u>Exceptions to Loan Rules for Qualified Disasters.</u> 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 7 to the contrary other than the maximum loans limit specified in Section 7.2(c), a loan may be made to any Participant who certifies that he is a Qualified Individual with respect to a Qualified Disaster in accordance with this Article 7 modified as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Loan Amounts***. For any loan made to a Qualified Individual on or after January 26, 2021, during the Applicable Period for a Qualified Disaster, the loan limit provisions under Section 7.2(a) are modified by replacing "$50,000" with "$100,000" and "50%" with "100%."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Suspension of Payments and Loan Term***. Any Qualified Individual who had a loan from the Plan outstanding during the Applicable Period may elect in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator to have the due date for any loan payment due during the Applicable Period (whether under existing or newly-obtained loans) to be suspended for up to 1 year. Interest will continue to accrue during the suspension period on the unpaid principal of any loan that is suspended under this provision, and will be added to the remaining principal at the end of the suspension period. All suspended loan payments will resume no later than the end of the 1-year suspension period, the loan will be reamortized to account for interest accrued during the suspension period, and the term of the loan may be extended by up to 1 year from the date the loan was originally due to be repaid, even if this extends the loan term beyond five years from the original loan date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** "Applicable Period" means the "applicable period" within the meaning of Code section 72(p)(6)(C) and 72(t)(8), which generally extends 180 days from the first day of the Incident Period for the applicable Qualified Disaster.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** "Incident Period" with respect to a Qualified Disaster means an "incident period" within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** "Qualified Disaster" means a "qualified disaster" within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** "Qualified Individual" means a "qualified individual" within the meaning of Code section 72(p)(6)(c), and generally includes a Participant whose principal place of abode is in the area of the Qualified Disaster and who has suffered an economic loss because of such Qualified Disaster.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d)*** For the avoidance of doubt, a Qualified Individual may not have more than two loans of any type outstanding at any time.

**ARTICLE 8 — ACTIVE PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS**

8.1 <u>After-Tax Withdrawals.</u> 

Subject to approval by the Plan Administrator, Participants may effect an in-service withdrawal in cash from their After-Tax Accounts (in an amount of no less than $1,000 per withdrawal or, if less, the vested portion of the Participant's After-Tax Account), at any time, by submitting a request in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the Participant's After-Tax Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** Withdrawals pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be available only to Participants who have not incurred a Distributable Event (with respect to the After-Tax Account) at the time of such withdrawal.

8.2 <u>Hardship Withdrawals.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Hardship Withdrawals by Active Participants***. The Plan Administrator shall permit a Participant who is an Employee to make a withdrawal on account of a hardship specified in Section 8.2(b) of his eligible Account Balances pro rata as specified in Section 8.2(d), as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following the date the withdrawal request is approved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** A Participant's withdrawal request shall not be approved in an amount less than $1,000 for any withdrawal unless the Participant's vested interest in the applicable Accounts eligible for hardship withdrawal under this Section is less than $1,000, in which case the Participant's request may be approved in the amount of his vested eligible Account Balances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** The eligible Account Balances for a hardship withdrawal include a Participant's Account Balance attributable to Deferral Contributions, any earnings attributable to those Deferral Contributions, Matching Contributions allocated before January 1, 2008, and any earnings attributable to those Matching Contributions allocated before January 1, 2008. A Participant's eligible Account Balances for hardship withdrawal do not include his Matching Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions allocated on or after January 1, 2008, any earnings attributable to Matching Contributions allocated on or after January 1, 2008, or his Dividend Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay federal, state or local income taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal; provided, however, in no event shall any permitted withdrawal exceed the Participant's vested eligible Account Balances described this Section 8.2(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** The hardship distribution may not be made unless the Participant has obtained all currently available distributions, other than hardship distributions and loans from the Plan, but including Rollover Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and any currently available distributions of cash dividends on Common Stock as described in Section 4.9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** All applications for withdrawals because of hardship shall be in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall include such information regarding the request as the Plan Administrator may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** A Participant's election to take a hardship withdrawal will not change his Deferral Contribution or After-Tax Contribution percentage in effect. A Participant will continue making Deferral Contributions and After-Tax Contributions following the hardship withdrawal in the same percentage that was effective before the withdrawal, unless and until the Participant makes an affirmative election to suspend contributions pursuant to Section 2.3 or to change his Deferral Contributions amount pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(2)(C), 3.1(a)(3)(C), 3.1(d), or 3.2(d) or change his After-Tax Contribution amount pursuant to Section 3.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Pro Rata Application.*** Any hardship withdrawal made pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be deducted pro rata from the Funds in which such amounts are invested and, unless directed otherwise by the Participant, applied pro rata against the Participant's eligible hardship Accounts, to the extent vested. A Participant may direct that the hardship withdrawal be made from any of his Accounts (including subaccounts) or any combination of Accounts, to the extent those Accounts are vested. If any Participant does not specify the Account or Accounts from which he wishes to receive his hardship withdrawal, the hardship withdrawal will be made pro rata from all of his Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) Plan Administrator Decisions Final.*** All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to whether or not a hardship withdrawal is justified or the amount necessary to alleviate the hardship shall be final and conclusive on all persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(f) No Distributable Event.*** Withdrawals pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be available only to Participants who have not incurred a Distributable Event (with respect to the Accounts upon which such withdrawal is available under Section 8.2(a)) at the time of such withdrawal. No Beneficiary may take a hardship withdrawal from the Plan.

8.3 <u>Withdrawals After Age 59½.</u> 

After attaining age 59½, a Participant may elect to receive an in-service withdrawal of his Accounts, to the extent vested, at any time in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** Subject to Section 6.2, all withdrawals shall be made in the form of (i) cash (ii) Common Stock (if any such stock is allocated to the Participant's Accounts), (iii) any position that can be distributed from the Participant's Self-Directed Brokerage Account, or (iv) any combination of cash, Common Stock, or distributable position in an amount of no less than $1,000 per withdrawal or, if less, the vested portion of the Participant's Accounts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** Any in-service withdrawal made pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be deducted pro rata from the Funds in which such amounts are invested and, unless a different priority is elected by the Participant in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, shall be applied pro rata against the Participant's Accounts.

8.4 <u>Withdrawal of Rollover Contributions.</u> 

A Participant may elect at any time to withdraw any remaining balance of his Prior Plan/Rollover Account attributable to Rollover Contributions and any remaining balance of his Roth Rollover Account attributable to Roth Rollover Contributions. Withdrawals from the Prior Plan/Rollover Account and the Roth Rollover Account shall be (i) requested in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator; (ii) in an amount of at least $1,000 (or the remaining balance, if less); (iii) deducted pro rata from the Funds in which the Participant's Accounts are invested; (iv) distributed in cash, in any distributable position from the Participant's Self-Directed Brokerage Account, or any combination of cash and distributable position; and (v) distributed as soon as administratively practicable following the Plan Administrator's receipt of a properly completed withdrawal request.

8.5 <u>Qualified Disaster Recovery Distributions and Repayments</u>.

Effective with respect to any "qualified disaster" within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11)(E) occurring on or after January 26, 2021 (a "Qualified Disaster"), the following rules shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** A Participant eligible for a "qualified disaster recovery distribution" within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11)(A))—which generally means a distribution to a Participant whose principal place of abode is in a qualified disaster area and who has sustained an economic loss due to a Qualified Disaster—may take a withdrawal from his Account attributable to eligible contributions under this Section within 180 days of the first day of the incident period of the Qualified Disaster. Any qualified disaster recovery distribution:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** may not exceed the aggregate dollar limitation specified in Code section 72(t)(11)(B) ($22,000 with respect to each Qualified Disaster in all taxable years),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** may be includable in the Participant's income ratably over a period of three years, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** may be repaid by the Participant to the Plan within three years of the date of distribution, which repayment the Plan shall treat as an eligible rollover distribution within meaning of Code section 402(c)(4).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** If a Participant took a "qualified distribution" (within the meaning of Code section 402(c)(13)(B)) (a "Qualified Distribution") during the period that beings 180 days before the first day of the "incident period" (within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11)(F)) of a Qualified Disaster and ends on the date which is 30 days after the last day of the incident period for that Qualified Disaster in order to buy or construct a home as a first-time homebuyer, but was unable to do so because the home was in a "qualified disaster area" (within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(11)(F)), the Participant may repay that Qualified Distribution to the Plan within the "applicable period" specified in Code section 72(t)(8)(F)(iii) (generally 180 days after the first day of the incident period for the Qualified Disaster).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** This Section shall be applied and interpreted consistent with the requirements of Code sections 72(t)(11) and 402(c)(13).

8.6 <u>Processing Charges.</u> 

A reasonable non-refundable processing charge in an amount as determined by the Plan Administrator may be assessed to the Participant's Accounts for each withdrawal made under this Article 8.

**ARTICLE 9 — DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY**

9.1 <u>Spouse as Beneficiary.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** If a Participant is married on his date of death, that Participant's Beneficiary is the Spouse to whom he is married on his date of death, unless that Spouse had given Spousal Consent to a designation pursuant to Section 9.2 of someone other than his Spouse to be the primary Beneficiary of all or any portion of the Participant's Benefit which may be distributable by reason of such Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** If a Participant without a Spouse designates a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2 when not married to a Spouse and subsequently becomes married to a Spouse, the prior Beneficiary designation will be superseded by this Section 9.1 to be the Participant's Spouse as long as the Participant remains married to a Spouse or unless and until the Participant makes a designation pursuant to Section 9.2 of someone other than his Spouse with Spousal Consent. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant designates a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2 when not married to a Spouse, subsequently becomes married to a Spouse, and later is divorced from that Spouse or the Spouse predeceases the Participant, the prior Beneficiary designation will again become effective unless and until the Participant makes (or has made) another Beneficiary designation pursuant to Section 9.2. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant designated a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2 while married to a Spouse without Spousal Consent and subsequently is divorced from that Spouse or the Spouse predeceases the Participant, the prior Beneficiary designation made while the Participant was married to that Spouse without Spousal Consent will become effective on the date the Participant is divorced from the Spouse or the Spouse predeceases him.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** If a Participant designates a person who is or becomes his Spouse to be his Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2 and later is separated or legally divorced from that Spouse, the designation of the person as the Participant's Beneficiary will remain effective, notwithstanding the separation or the legal divorce resulting in the person no longer being the Participant's Spouse, unless and until the Participant designates another person or persons to be the Participant's Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is married to a Spouse on his date of death, that Participant's Spouse on his date of death will be that Participant's Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and (b), unless that Spouse had given Spousal Consent to a designation pursuant to Section 9.2 of someone other than that Spouse to be the primary Beneficiary of all or any portion of the Participant's Benefit which may be distributable by reason of such Participant's death, regardless of who the Participant may have designated to be his Beneficiary under Section 9.2 before his marriage to that Spouse.

9.2 <u>Manner of Designation of Beneficiary.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** Subject to the Spousal Consent requirements of Section 9.1 and the other requirements of this Section 9.2, a Participant may designate in writing, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, one or more primary Beneficiaries and one or more contingent Beneficiaries of the Benefit which may be distributable by reason of such Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** To be valid, a Beneficiary designation must meet all of the following requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** name at least one primary Beneficiary,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** may but need not designate at least one contingent Beneficiary,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** must be properly completed in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** be accompanied by Spousal Consent if the Participant is married to a Spouse on the date the designation is made and the date of the Participant's death, and is designating someone other than his Spouse to be his Beneficiary, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** must be received by the Plan Administrator properly completed prior to the Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)*** Subject to such rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator may promulgate, a Participant may from time to time change the designation of his Beneficiary; provided, however, that no change shall be effective until receipt by the Plan Administrator of a properly completed new Beneficiary designation prior to the Participant's date of death and, if the Participant is married, consented to by that Participant's spouse. A properly completed Beneficiary designation timely received by the Plan Administrator shall supersede all prior Beneficiary designations.

9.3 <u>Distribution if No Beneficiary Designated.</u> 

If a Benefit becomes distributable upon the death of a Participant and the Participant was not married to a Spouse on his date of death and no valid Beneficiary designation has been properly completed pursuant to Section 9.2, the Participant's Beneficiary is the Participant's estate. If a benefit becomes payable to the Participant's estate pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Participant will be deemed to have designated the personal representative of the Participant, or such other person or entity as may be determined by applicable law to receive payment of amounts owed to the Participant's estate on behalf of the Participant's estate, to receive distribution of the Participant's Benefit.

9.4 <u>Disqualification of Designated Beneficiary.</u> 

If a Participant has affirmatively designated a Beneficiary under Section 9.2, or if a Participant's Beneficiary is established under Sections 9.1 or 9.3, and the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that the Beneficiary (i) was convicted for the Participant's death; (ii) was liable for the Participant's death in any civil wrongful death or similar legal action; or (iii) the Beneficiary is prevented or otherwise disqualified by any applicable "slayer statute" or any other law, statute, ordinance, or treaty from inheriting property of the Participant, then the Beneficiary shall be disqualified from receiving any benefit from the Plan, and the designation or establishment of the Beneficiary shall be void as if that Beneficiary predeceased the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may suspend the distribution of any benefit to a Beneficiary while the Committee determines if the Beneficiary is disqualified and the designation or establishment of the Beneficiary is void.

9.5 <u>Beneficiary Determinations.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)*** The Plan Administer shall have sole and absolute authority and discretion to determine whether a Beneficiary designation has been properly made and the Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) entitled to a Participant's Benefit under the terms of the Plan, and the Plan Administrator's Beneficiary determination shall be final and binding upon all persons and for all purposes. The Plan and the Plan Administrator may not recognize any disclaimers of interest or renunciations of any Benefit by any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person, that would change the Plan Administrator's Beneficiary determination. Any Benefit that is disclaimed, renounced, or otherwise not accepted by any Participant or Beneficiary shall be forfeited as provided in Section 5.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)*** If any Benefit provided under the Plan is the subject of a dispute between or among two or more persons or entities claiming entitlement to that Benefit as a Beneficiary or on behalf of a Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator has the sole and absolute authority and discretion to determine the proper Beneficiary of the Benefit, and the Plan Administrator's determination of the Beneficiary shall be final and binding upon all persons and entities and for all purposes. The Plan Administrator may take any action or

omit taking any action—including suspending distribution of the Benefit pending resolution of the dispute without any liability whatsoever therefore—to resolve the dispute that it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be appropriate or advisable to resolve the dispute, including depositing the Benefit with any court of competent jurisdiction to have the court determine the proper Beneficiary. The reasonable costs to resolve any Beneficiary dispute—including any costs of initiating, prosecuting, or defending any legal action in any court or other forum, and any reasonable attorney's fees or costs—may be assessed against and deducted from the Benefit prior to distribution of the remaining Benefit from the Plan.

**ARTICLE 10 — RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS**

10.1 <u>Deferral Contribution Limits Under the Code.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Safe Harbor Requirements***. The Plan is intended to satisfy the safe harbor requirements in accordance with Code sections 401(k)(13) and 401(m)(12), and Contributions, other than After-Tax Contributions as provided in Section 10.1(d), are not subject to nondiscrimination testing under Code sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Maximum Deferral Contributions***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1)** The total Pretax Contributions made under Section 3.1 (determined without regard to any catch-up Pretax Contributions) together with the total Roth Contributions made under Section 3.2 (determined without regard to any catch-up Roth Contributions) may not exceed the Annual Deferral Limit (for 2026, the limit is $24,500).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2)** Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Participant who has attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year, the total Pretax Contributions made under Section 3.1 (including any catch-up Pretax Contributions) together with the total Roth Contributions made under Section 3.2 (including any catch-up Roth Contributions) may not exceed the dollar limit specified in subparagraph (b)(1) above increased by the catch-up dollar amount specified in Code section 414(v) including the adjusted dollar amount described in Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) and 414(v)(2)(E) for Participants who would attain age 60 but would not attain age 64 before the last day of the Plan Year, as adjusted annually effective January 1 of each calendar year, as provided in Code section 415(d) ($8,000 for 2026 for eligible Participants other than for Participants who would attain age 60 but would not attain age 64 before the last day of the Plan Year, in which case, $11,250 for 2026 for those Participants). For the avoidance of doubt, the combined Annual Deferral Limit increased by the Code section 414(v) limit for 2026 is $32,500 for eligible Participants other than for Participants who would attain age 60 but would not attain age 64 before the last day of the Plan Year, in which case, the 2026 combined limit is $35,750 for those Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) Notification**. A Participant may assign to this Plan any Excess Elective Deferrals made during a taxable year of the Participant by notifying the Plan Administrator on or before March 1 of the amount of the Excess Elective Deferrals to be assigned to the Plan. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of any Excess Elective Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans of this Employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Time of Distribution**. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Excess Elective Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15 to any Participant to whose account Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for the preceding year and who claims Excess Elective Deferrals for such taxable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Determination of Income or Loss**. Excess Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss up to the last day of the Play Year immediately preceding the date of distribution. The income or loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals is equal to the income or loss allocable to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant's Excess Elective Deferrals for the year and the denominator is the Participant's Account Balance attributable to Elective Deferrals without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year. In all events, the income attributable to Excess Elective Deferrals will be determined in accordance with regulations issued under Code section 402(g) which are hereby incorporated by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4) Claims Filing Period**.

Distributions of Excess Elective Deferrals made pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) shall be deducted pro rata from the Funds in which such amounts are invested and shall be applied pro rata first against the Roth Contributions made to the Participant's Roth Account and then, to the extent necessary, to the Pretax Contributions made to the Participant's Pretax Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6) Definition**. "Excess Elective Deferrals" means the amount, if any, by which the Participant's Pretax Contributions together with his Roth Contributions exceed the limit specified in Section 10.1(b)(1) plus the amount, if any, by which the Participant's catch-up Pretax Contributions together with his catch-up Roth Contributions exceed the limit specified in Section 10.1(b)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) After-Tax Contributions***. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, After-Tax Contributions for the current Plan Year shall comply with the contribution percentage requirement specified in Code section 401(m)(2) and described in Treasury Regulation section 1.401(m)-2 or any successors thereto.

10.2 <u>Deferral Contribution Limits Under the Plan.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Payroll Period Limitations Applicable to Pretax Contributions, Roth Contributions, and After-Tax Contributions***. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any payroll period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3)** The total combined amount of a Participant's After-Tax Contributions plus Deferral Contributions may not exceed 77% of that Participant's Plan Compensation for that payroll period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4)** Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any payroll period, the total amount of a Participant's Deferral Contributions plus After-Tax Contributions may not exceed the amount of a Participant's total pay net of all tax withholdings, loan repayments, garnishments, reductions, and deductions of any kind whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Plan Administrator May Enforce Limitations***. The Plan Administrator may take whatever action it deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, to ensure that the limitations of this Section 10.2 are met including reducing or rejecting all or any part of a Participant's election that would cause the Participant's contributions to the Plan to exceed the limits of this Section 10.2 if that election were followed.

10.3 <u>Limitations on Annual Additions.</u> 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the annual addition with respect to any Participant's Account in any Plan Year (which shall be the "limitation year") exceed the lesser of (i) 100% of the Participant's 415 Compensation; or (ii) the dollar limit in effect for such calendar year in accordance with Code section 415(c)(1)(A), as adjusted in accordance with Code section 415(d) ($72,000 for 2026).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Annual Additions.*** For the purposes of this Section 10.3, "annual additions" shall include all amounts that are required to be treated as annual additions under Treasury Regulations section 1.415(c)-1(b), including amounts described in Code sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2). Annual additions attributable to contributions described in Section 3.11 shall be treated as annual additions for the appropriate Plan Year as required by Code section 415; provided, however, that amounts attributable to lost earnings with respect to any such corrective contributions shall not be treated as annual additions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Other Defined Contribution Plans.*** If a Participant is also participating in another tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by any member of a controlled group of corporations (as modified by application of Code section 415(h)), the otherwise applicable limitation on annual additions under this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of annual additions (within the meaning of Code section 415(c)(2)) under any such other defined contribution plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Corrections to Annual Additions.*** Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the annual additions are exceeded for any Participant, then the Plan may only correct such excess in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2021-30 or any superseding guidance, including the preamble of the final Code section 415 regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B) <u>Required Aggregation Group</u>**: (i) Each qualified plan of an Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates or has participated at any time during the determination period (regardless of whether the plan has terminated), and (ii) any other qualified plan of an Employer which enables a plan described in subparagraph (i) to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Contribution Rate.** The Contribution Rate for each Key Employee is determined by dividing the allocation of Employer Contributions to the Account of such Key Employee by the Employee's 415 Compensation for the Plan Year not in excess of the compensation limit specified in Code section 401(a)(17)(A), as adjusted in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B) ($360,000 for 2026).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Five-Percent Owners.** Any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code section 318) more than 5% of the outstanding stock of an Employer or stock possessing more than 5% of the combined voting power of all stock of the Employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(4) One-Percent Owners.** Any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code section 318) more than 1% of the outstanding stock of an Employer or stock possessing more than 1% of the combined voting power of all stock of the Employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5) Top Heavy Group.** Any Aggregation Group if the sum as of any determination date of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in such group and the aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in such group, exceeds 60% of a similar sum determined for all Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6) Top Heavy Plan.** A qualified plan in which, as of any determination date, the aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under the plan exceeds sixty percent of the aggregate of the accounts of all Employees under the plan; provided, however, that the total value of all such accounts shall be determined in accordance with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A)** The aggregate distributions made with respect to any employee under the plan during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall be included, except in the case of distributions made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or Disability, in which case, the aggregate distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan during a five-year period ending on the determination date shall be included;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B)** Except to the extent provided by regulations, any rollover contribution (or similar transfer) initiated by an employee and made after December 31, 1983, to a plan shall not be taken into account with respect to the transferee plan for purposes of determining whether such plan is top heavy under this Section 10.4;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C)** If an individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any plan for any plan year (or such other period permitted by regulations), but such individual was a Key Employee with respect to such plan for any prior plan year (or such other period permitted by regulations), any accrued benefit for such Employee (and the account of such Employee) shall not be taken into account hereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(D)** The account balances of a participant who has not performed services for an Employer at any time during the one-year period ending on the determination date will be disregarded.

Furthermore, each plan required to be included in an Aggregation Group shall be treated as a Top Heavy Plan if such group is a Top Heavy Group.

The top heavy ratio computed above and any special rules surrounding the computation of such ratio are set out in Code section 416(g). The provisions of this Section 10.4 are intended to comply with that Code section. Further provided, the Plan shall not be deemed Top Heavy solely by reason of Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.7. For purposes of making any top heavy determinations under the Plan, the term "determination date" shall mean, for a Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(7) Top Heavy Ratio**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A) <u>Defined Contribution Plans</u>*.*** If an Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan) and an Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the one-year period ending on the determination date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the determination date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date[s]), and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances (including any part of any

account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date[s]), both computed in accordance with Code section 416. Both the numerator and denominator of the Top Heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the determination date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code section 416.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(B) <u>Defined Benefit Plans</u>*.*** If an Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the one-year period ending on the determination date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top Heavy Ratio for any Required or Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with Section 10.4(a)(7)(A), and the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the determination date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance with Section 10.4(a)(7)(A), and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all participants as of the determination date(s), all determined in accordance with Code section 416. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top Heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the one-year period ending on the determination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(C) <u>Valuation</u>*.*** For purposes of Sections 10.4(a)(7)(A) and 10.4(a)(7)(B), the value of account balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent final valuation date of the plan year that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the determination date, except as provided in Code section 416 for the first and second Plan years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and accrued benefits of a participant (i) who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (ii) who has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service with any Employer maintaining the plan at any time during the one-year period ending on the determination date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code section 416. Deductible Employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year. The accrued benefit of a participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by an Employer, or if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code section 411(b)(1)(C). For purposes of this Section 10.4(a)(7)(C), the final valuation date of this Plan for any Plan Year shall be the last business day of the immediately preceding Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Employer Contributions in Top Heavy Plan Years***. In any Plan Year during which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(1) 3% or More of 415 Compensation*.*** If the allocation of the Employer Contribution to the Account of any Key Employee for any Plan Year equals or exceeds 3% of the Employee's 415 Compensation, the allocation of the Employer Contribution to the Accounts of all Non-Key Employees must be at least 3% of 415 Compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(2) Less Than 3% of 415 Compensation.** If the allocation of the Employer Contribution for the Plan Year on behalf of all Participants who are Key Employees is less than 3%, the minimum Contribution Rate for each Non-Key Employee shall be at least equal to the highest Contribution Rate for any Key Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(3) Participants Eligible for Allocations.** For purposes of Sections 10.4(b)(1) and 10.4(b)(2) hereof, the term Participant shall include only those Participants who have completed an Hour of Service and have not separated from service as of the Employer's last business day of the Plan Year.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code section 416(c)(2), for which this Section 10.4 provides. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Matching Contributions used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as "matching contributions" for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and any other requirements of Code section 401(m).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Top Heavy Vesting Rules.*** Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 to the contrary, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy Plan, if a Participant has completed one Year of Vesting Service, the Participant shall (in addition to the provisions of Section 5.1) be entitled to the Participant's Matching Contribution Account, Profit Sharing Account, and After-Tax Account attributable to Prior Matching Contributions, including a proportionate share of the net gains or losses on such contributions, as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately following the date of Termination of Employment, increased by any Contributions made on behalf of the Participant since such Valuation Date and decreased by any withdrawals of Matching Contributions, Prior Matching Contributions, or Profit Sharing Contributions, including a proportionate share of the net gains or losses on such contributions since such Valuation Date, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 4.6; provided, however, if the Participant is receiving a deferred distribution, the Participant's Benefit shall be determined as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the distribution date. In the event that the Plan later reverts to non-top heavy status, the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 shall again take effect provided that the nonforfeitable percentage of Participants who have been credited with one or more Years of Vesting Service shall not be less than the greater of the vesting percentage determined under this Section 10.4 or the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3. Additionally, regardless of Years of Vesting Service, a Participant who has been credited with a nonforfeitable interest under this Section 10.4 shall continue to have a nonforfeitable interest in the applicable Accounts described above at such percentage until such time as the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 shall increase the Participant's nonforfeitable interest in such Accounts.

**ARTICLE 11 — PLAN ADMINISTRATION**

11.1 <u>Plan Administrator.</u> 

The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for administering the Plan, keeping records of Accounts, and making all policy decisions which arise under the Plan.

In accordance with applicable regulations, the Plan Administrator may authorize quiet periods from time to time to accommodate the transfers of assets and liabilities from other plans to this Plan, changes in Plan recordkeeping, changes in the Trustee, or changes in investment options offered under the Plan. During such quiet periods, certain rights, such as a Participant's (or Beneficiary's) right to request a distribution, a withdrawal or a loan, and a Participant's (or Beneficiary's) right to change investment direction of Contributions and Accounts, may be suspended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i) Section 16 Compliance; Bifurcation of Plan***. It is the intention of the Employer that the Plan and the administration of the Plan comply in all respects with section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. If any Plan provision, or any aspect of the administration of the Plan, is found not to be in compliance with section 16 of the Exchange Act, the provision or administration shall be deemed null and void, and in all events the Plan shall be construed in favor of its meeting the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Sponsoring Employer or the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(j) Other Specified Duties.*** The Plan Administrator shall perform such other duties as specified in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(5)** to designate an alternative investment fund available under the Plan for the temporary investment of any proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Common Stock pending participant directions to the Trustee of the Plan with respect to the investment of such proceeds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(6)** to vote the Common Stock in the Humana Unitized Stock Fund in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(7)** to instruct the Trustee of the Plan with respect to the foregoing matters.

In exercising the foregoing powers, the Humana Unitized Stock Fund Fiduciary shall take into account the statement of intent set forth in Section ‎4.6(b) to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA. In addition, the Humana Unitized Stock Fund Fiduciary will evaluate the prudence of maintaining the Humana Unitized Stock Fund not on the basis the risk associated with the Humana Unitized Stock Fund standing alone but in light of the availability of other investment options under the Plan and the ability of Plan Participants to construct a diversified portfolio of investments consistent with their individual desired level of risk and return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) Specific Duties.*** Each fiduciary shall be responsible only for the specific duties assigned herein and shall not be directly or indirectly responsible for the duties assigned to another fiduciary.

13.3 <u>Rights to Indemnification.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer shall indemnify each director, Plan Administrator, officer, employee, or Committee member, who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened or pending action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including actions by or in the right of the Sponsoring Employer, by reason of the fact that such director, Plan Administrator, officer, employee, or Committee member is or was serving at the request of the Sponsoring Employer as a "fiduciary" (as defined by section 3(21)(A) of ERISA) with regard to the Plan, (an "indemnitee") against expenses

(including attorneys' fees), claims, fines, judgments, taxes, causes of action or liability and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or proceeding, unless such expense, claim, fine, judgment, taxes, cause of action, liability or amount arose from that person's gross negligence, fraud or willful breach of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, except, that with respect to an action by or in the right of an Employer, indemnification shall be made only against expenses (including attorneys' fees).

13.4 <u>Advancement of Expenses.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer may advance all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any indemnitee in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding pending the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding unless the circumstances of the individual case demonstrate the indemnitee's conduct is not entitled to indemnification under Section 13.3 because of the indemnitee's gross negligence, fraud or willful breach of fiduciary responsibilities; provided, however, that the indemnitee shall provide security by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay such amounts if the Sponsoring Employer determines that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Employer as authorized by this Article 13.

13.5 <u>Determination of Right to Indemnity.</u> 

To the extent that any indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of the action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, referred to in Section 13.3, the indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith and, if expenses were advanced as provided in Section 13.4, the Sponsoring Employer shall not seek repayment of such expenses. If any action, suit, or proceeding shall terminate by judgment or order adverse to the indemnitee, or settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, the Sponsoring Employer, in the same manner provided in Section 13.4 with reference to advancement of expenses, shall (unless ordered by a court to make indemnification) determine whether indemnification of the indemnitee is not proper in the circumstances because that person has been guilty of gross negligence, fraud or willful breach of fiduciary responsibilities. If the Sponsoring Employer determines that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, then such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) claims, fines, judgments, taxes, causes of actions or liability and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action or proceeding and, if expenses were advanced as provided in Section 13.4 the Sponsoring Employer shall not seek repayment of such expenses. The termination of any action or proceeding by adverse judgment or order, conviction settlement or plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the indemnitee was guilty of gross negligence, fraud or willful breach of fiduciary responsibilities.

13.6 <u>Other Rights.</u> 

The indemnification provided by this Article 13 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any director, Plan Administrator, officer, employee, or Committee member may be entitled, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, Plan Administrator, officer, employee, or Committee member and shall inure to the benefit of the personal representative, heirs and legatees of such a person.

**ARTICLE 14 — THE TRUST AND TRUSTEE**

14.1 <u>Establishment of Trust.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer has entered into the Trust Agreement with the Trustee for the purpose of establishing the Trust to invest and hold the Contributions and any assets transferred pursuant to Section 19.2, and the income and gains thereon in order to provide the funds which will be used to provide a Benefit under the Plan. The Trust shall be received, held in trust, and disbursed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Plan.

14.2 <u>No Diversion of Trust.</u> 

No part of the Trust shall be used for, or diverted to purposes other than for, the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries, or for the payment of the expenses of the Plan and Trust. No person shall have any interest in, or right to, the Trust or any part thereof except as specifically provided for in this Plan or the Trust Agreement.

14.3 <u>Removal or Resignation of Trustee.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer may remove the Trustee, and the Trustee may resign, at any time upon the notice required by the terms of the Trust Agreement and, upon such removal or resignation, the Sponsoring Employer shall designate and appoint a successor Trustee.

14.4 <u>Trust Agreement Part of Plan.</u> 

The Trust Agreement shall be deemed to form a part of the Plan and all rights of Participants or others under this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement.

14.5 <u>Trustee Powers.</u> 

The Trustee shall have the power to hold, invest and reinvest Trust, purchase annuities on the lives of Participants, and to control and disburse the Trust assets, all as set forth in the Trust Agreement.

14.6 <u>No Guarantee of Losses in Trust.</u> 

Neither the Sponsoring Employer, the Plan Administrator, the Committee nor the Trustee guarantee the assets of the Trust from loss or depreciation.

14.7 <u>Settlement of Trust Accounts.</u> 

The Trust Agreement may contain provisions granting authority to the Sponsoring Employer to settle the Accounts of the Trust held by the Trustee on behalf of all persons having or claiming an interest in the Trust.

14.8 <u>Payment of Expenses of Plan and Trust.</u> 

Except as set forth in Section 11.2(g) with respect to expenses of Advisors, all necessary expenses that may arise in connection with the administration of the Plan and Trust, including recordkeeping fees and expenses, Trustee and brokerage fees, and other expenses associated with fund investments, shall be paid by the Trustee from the income of the Trust to the extent that the income thereof is sufficient, or from the corpus of the Trust if the income is insufficient, except to the extent, if any, that such expenses may be paid by the Sponsoring Employer or assessed to Participants' Accounts in connection with certain transactions, which may include, but shall not be limited to, withdrawals, distributions, domestic relations

orders, and Participant loans. Where the Trustee is a person who receives full-time pay from an Employer, such Trustee shall not receive any remuneration from the Trust, except for reimbursement of expenses properly and actually incurred.

**ARTICLE 15 — AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN AND TRUST Agreement**

15.1 <u>Rights Generally to Make Amendments.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer shall have the right at any time by instrument of writing, duly executed and delivered to the Trustee, to modify, alter or amend the Plan and the Trust Agreement, in whole or in part, provided that the duties, powers and liabilities of the Trustee shall not thereby be substantially modified without the written consent of the Trustee. Any Benefit which has actually accrued and become distributable hereunder shall not be affected thereby, except as provided in Section 15.2. No amendment shall be made which shall cause or authorize any part of the Trust to revert or be refunded to the Employer, or decrease any Participant's Account Balance. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Committee appointed pursuant to Article 12 shall also have the authority to amend the Plan in any manner which is necessary to maintain the qualification and tax exempt status of the Plan under the Code and ERISA, and the authority to adopt any other amendment to the Plan which does not have the effect of increasing the liability of the Employer.

15.2 <u>Right to Make Amendments Relating to Qualification of Plan.</u> 

The Sponsoring Employer shall have the unlimited right to amend the Plan at any time, retroactively or otherwise, in such respects and to such extent as may be necessary to qualify it under existing laws and regulations so as to permit the full deduction for tax purposes of Employer Contributions made hereunder and to meet the requirements of the Code or ERISA, and, to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose, may by such amendment decrease or otherwise affect the rights of Participants or Beneficiaries to a Benefit which has actually accrued and become distributable hereunder; provided, however, no amendment to the Plan shall reduce or eliminate a Participant's Account Balance in a manner that would violate Code section 411(d)(6).

**ARTICLE 16 — ADDITION AND WITHDRAWAL OF AN EMPLOYER**

16.1 <u>Adoption of Plan and Trust Agreement by Related Employers.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Procedure.*** Any Related Employer may adopt the Plan and Trust Agreement by (i) submitting the action of its Governing Authority adopting the Plan to the Plan Administrator, and (ii) having the Sponsoring Employer approve the adoption and submitting evidence of that approval to the Plan Administrator. Inclusion of a Related Employer in Appendix A of the Plan conclusively establishes Sponsoring Employer approval of that Related Employer's participation in the Plan. Upon approval of the Plan Administrator, a Related Employer may limit its adoption of the Plan to one or more of its groups of employees, divisions, locations, operations, or other appropriate business classification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Effect of Adoption.*** Any Related Employer adopting the Plan is subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement and any interpretations of the Plan and Trust Agreement made by the Plan Administrator. Each Related Employer adopting the Plan designates irrevocably the Sponsoring Employer as its agent for all of its relations with the Trustee and Plan Administrator for all purposes of this Plan.

16.2 <u>Withdrawal From Plan and Trust Agreement by Employer.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Withdrawal From Participation.*** An Employer (other than the Sponsoring Employer) shall automatically be withdrawn from participation in the Plan effective upon ceasing to be a Related Employer. A Related Employer who is an Employer may withdraw from the Plan and Trust Agreement by delivering to the Plan Administrator a resolution of its Governing Authority authorizing its withdrawal as an Employer. The Sponsoring Employer may at any time, in its discretion, determine that an Employer may no longer participate in the Plan and may direct that the Employer withdraw from the Plan. An Employer's withdrawal from participation is not considered a Termination of Employment of the Participants of that Employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Establishment of Succeeding Plan.*** If a withdrawing Employer establishes a new qualified plan for its employees, the Sponsoring Employer may authorize the Plan Administrator to transfer to the trustee of the new plan the value of the Accounts of the affected participants according to procedures established by the Plan Administrator. Such transfer of assets shall also include the transfer of any loans made pursuant to Article 7 to affected Participants that are outstanding at the time of transfer. No asset transfer will be made if the transfer eliminates or reduces any benefit protected by Code section 411(d)(6).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Right to Terminate.*** If no successor trustee is designated by a withdrawing Employer, in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, the Plan, with respect to the Accounts of the Participants of the withdrawing Employer, may be spun out of the Plan and terminated. Upon termination, the Accounts of the affected Participants shall be 100% vested and distributed to those Participants. No part of the corpus or income of the Trust as it relates to that withdrawing Employer may be used for or diverted for purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants of that withdrawing Employer.

**ARTICLE 17 — CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT**

17.1 <u>Participant Transfer From Employer to Employer.</u> 

A Participant who transfers employment from one Employer to another Employer will not incur a Termination of Employment with an Employer and shall continue to be a Participant in this Plan without interruption.

17.2 <u>Participant Transfer From Employer to Nonparticipating Employer.</u> 

A Participant who transfers employment from an Employer to a Nonparticipating Employer will not incur a Termination of Employment. A Participant who transfers employment from an Employer to a Nonparticipating Employer will no longer be eligible to participate in the Plan for purposes of making Deferral Contributions or After-Tax Contributions to the Plan or receiving Employer Contributions under Article 3.

17.3 <u>Treatment of Account Following Transfer to a Nonparticipating Employer.</u> 

Unless the Plan Administrator otherwise directs, a Participant's Account will not be transferred to any other plan sponsored by a Nonparticipating Employer upon transfer of employment by that Participant from an Employer to the Nonparticipating Employer and the Account Balances will continue to be determined as provided in Article 4. A Participant who transfers employment from an Employer to a Nonparticipating Employer while a loan from his Account is outstanding will continue to have loan payments made to his Account through payroll deduction from his Nonparticipating Employer or, if the Plan Administrator determines it is administratively practicable to do so, by direct payment from the Participant according to any rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator.

17.4 <u>Credit for Service With a Nonparticipating Employer.</u> 

An Employee who transfers employment from a Nonparticipating Employer to an Employer, or from an Employer to a Nonparticipating Employer, shall receive credit for service with that Nonparticipating Employer for the purposes of determining Years of Vesting Service and Years of Retirement Service.

17.5 <u>Participants Employed by More Than One Employer.</u> 

An Employee who is employed by more than one Employer of the Plan will have his same elections made under Articles 3 and 4 applied to all Compensation earned from and Contributions made by each such Employer, and may not make separate elections with respect to any Employer. A Participant's elections made for compensation earned from a Nonparticipating Employer or with respect to contributions made by a Nonparticipating Employer under any other plan will not be applied under this Plan, except to the extent the elections made under this Plan are identical to the elections made under another plan.

**ARTICLE 18 — TERMINATION OF PLAN AND TRUST**

18.1 <u>Events Causing Termination of Plan.</u> 

Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events the Plan, subject to the procedures contained in Section 18.2, shall be terminated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Dissolution.*** The dissolution of the Employers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Discontinuance of Employer Contributions.*** The complete discontinuance of Employer Contributions by the Employers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Resolution of the Sponsoring Employer***. The Sponsoring Employer may terminate the Plan with respect to all Participants by taking the appropriate corporate action and giving written notice of the termination to the Trustee, all other Employers, and the Participants.

18.2 <u>Terminating Participation by Participating Employer.</u> 

An Employer, other than the Sponsoring Employer, may terminate participation in the Plan with respect to Participants who are Employees of that Employer by appropriate action of its Governing Authority and by giving written notice of the termination to the Trustee, the Sponsoring Employer, and the Participants who are Employees of that Employer.

18.3 <u>Procedure Upon Termination.</u> 

Should any of the events listed in Sections 18.1 or 18.2 occur, the portion of each Participant's Accounts (or, in the case of a partial termination, the affected Participant's Accounts) attributable to Matching Contributions shall at that time become nonforfeitable for the Employees of any terminating Employer and, only to the extent required under ERISA, for the Employees of any other Employer. The Plan and the Trust Agreement shall be continued until such time as all Accounts have been fully distributed, at which time the Plan and the Trust Agreement shall terminate as to such Participants. Until such time as the Sponsoring Employer determines that the Trust Agreement shall be terminated, the Trustee shall distribute the Accounts as the Plan Administrator directs. Upon determination by the Sponsoring Employer that the Trust Agreement shall terminate, the Trustee shall distribute the assets of the Trust as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Expenses or Liabilities.*** First, to pay any due and accrued expenses and liabilities of the Trust and any expenses involved in the termination of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, to the extent not paid by the Sponsoring Employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Distribution of Benefit.*** Second, to distribute to the Participants the amount of their Benefit in the Trust in a form authorized under Section 6.2.

**ARTICLE 19 — MISCELLANEOUS**

19.1 <u>Merger or Consolidation of Plan.</u> 

In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Sponsoring Employer or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, partnership or association, provision may be made by such successor corporation, partnership or association at its election for the continuance of this Plan as to such successor entity. Such successor shall, upon its election to continue this Plan, be substituted in place of the Sponsoring Employer by an instrument duly authorizing such substitution and duly executed by the Sponsoring Employer and its successor. Upon notice of such substitution, the Trustee and all Participants hereunder shall be authorized to recognize such successor in the place of the Sponsoring Employer. In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other "plan" (as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA), provision shall be made so that each Participant in the Plan on the date of such merger, consolidation or transfer will receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer from the Plan if such plan would then be terminated which is equal to or greater than the Benefit the Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or transfer if the Plan had then been terminated.

19.2 <u>Transfer of Plan Assets.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Merged Assets or Liabilities.*** Another defined contribution "plan" (as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA), or any portion of a plan, may be merged, transferred, or consolidated with and into this Plan resulting in the transfer of assets or liabilities from such transferor plan to this Plan with the approval of the Sponsoring Employer and delivery of notice of the transfer to the Trustee. The Trustee may receive any amounts transferred to it in the name of an Employee from the trustee or custodian of another plan qualified under Code section 401(a), unless an Employee is employed by a Nonparticipating Employer. If the Plan Administrator determines that all or part of a merger, transfer, or consolidation with and into the Plan was ineligible to be transferred into the Plan, the Plan Administrator may direct that any ineligible amounts, plus earnings or losses attributable thereto as determined by the Plan Administrator, be distributed from the Plan to the Employee as soon as administratively feasible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, at its discretion, also return the amount transferred to the transferor plan or correct the ineligible transfer using any other method permitted by the IRS under regulation or other guidance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Protected Benefits.*** In connection with a merger pursuant to Section 19.2(a), the Plan shall be amended as provided in Section 15.1 to preserve any "protected benefit" (as provided in Code section 411(d)(6)) under the applicable Merged Plan with respect to the Prior Plan/Rollover Accounts established in accordance with the merger. The preserved provisions relating to Merged Plans applicable to Merged Participants are set forth in Appendix B.

19.3 <u>Construction.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) State Law.*** The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof, and all provisions hereunder shall be administered according to the laws thereof, except to the extent preempted by ERISA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) ERISA and Code.*** It is intended that the Plan and Trust meet the requirements of ERISA and the Code, and the Plan and Trust Agreement shall be interpreted and construed, wherever possible, to comply with the terms of ERISA, the Code, and the regulations and rulings of general applicability issued thereunder. Wherever a reference is made to an ERISA or Code section, that reference includes a reference to the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued that relates to that ERISA or Code section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c) Gender and Number.*** Any words herein used in the masculine or neuter shall read and be construed in the feminine, masculine or neuter where they would so apply. Words in the singular shall be read and construed as though used in the plural in all cases where they would so apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Section.*** Any reference to a "Section" in this Plan when capitalized shall mean the numbered section of this Plan, unless the context clearly indicates a section of an external document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) Including***. As used anywhere in this Plan, the term "including" when introducing examples or illustrations for clarity means, and will be construed for all purposes as, "including but not limited to" and "including without limitation" the examples or illustrations provided, and the interpretive canon of negative implication (*i.e*., *expressio unius est exclusio alterius*, or the expression of one thing implies the exclusion of all other things) does not apply.

19.4 <u>Distributions to Incompetents or Minors.</u> 

In making any distribution to or for the benefit of any minor or incompetent Beneficiary, or incompetent Participant, the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, may, but need not, direct the Trustee to make such distribution to a legal or natural guardian or other relative of such minor or court appointed committee of any incompetent, or to any adult with whom such person temporarily or permanently resides; and any such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall have full authority and discretion to expend such distribution for the use and benefit of such person; and the receipt by such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Trustee, without any responsibility on its part or on the part of the Plan Administrator to see to the application thereof.

19.5 <u>Titles and Headings.</u> 

Titles of Articles and headings to Sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles and headings, shall control.

19.6 <u>Plan Voluntary on Part of Employers.</u> 

While it is the intention of the Employers that the Plan shall be continued and Employer Contributions made in each year, the Plan and the Trust are entirely voluntary on the part of the Employers and the Sponsoring Employer may amend the Plan as provided in Article 15 and an Employer or the Sponsoring Employer may terminate the Plan as provided in Article 18. The Employers do not guarantee or promise to distribute or cause to be distributed any Benefit provided by the Plan and each Participant, Beneficiary or any other person who may claim the right to any distribution or Benefit under the Plan shall be entitled to look only to the Plan and the Trust for such distribution or Benefit and shall not have any right, claim or demand therefor against any Employer.

19.7 <u>Plan Not Contract of Employment.</u> 

This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and Participants or to be a consideration or inducement for the employment of any Participant or employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or employee the right to be retained in the service of an Employer nor to interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any Participant or employee at any time regardless of the effect which such discharge may have upon the employee as a Participant in the Plan.

19.8 <u>Participant Interests Limited to Benefit Actually Accrued.</u> 

No Participant shall have any legal right, title or interest in the Trust, or any of its assets, except in the event and to the extent that a Benefit may actually accrue hereunder, and the same limitations shall be applicable with respect to a Benefit upon death of a Participant which may be distributable to a Beneficiary.

19.9 <u>Spendthrift Clause.</u> 

Except as provided in Article 7, the interests of Participants and Beneficiaries in the Trust or any other trust assets held by the Trustee shall not be subject to assignment or alienation by operation of law or legal process, nor shall such interests be assignable, alienable or transferable in any way. The preceding sentence shall also apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to any Benefit distributable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless such order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code section 414(p), or any domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 19.9 to the contrary, a Participant's Benefit provided under this Plan shall be offset against an amount that the Participant is, on or after August 5, 1997, ordered or required to pay to the Plan to the extent such offset meets the requirements provided under Code section 401(a)(13)(C).

19.10 <u>Action by Sponsoring Employer.</u> 

Actions authorized or permitted under this Plan to be taken by the Sponsoring Employer may be taken by appropriate action of its board of directors or any officer, employee, or agent of the Sponsoring Employer to whom authority to act has been properly delegated.

19.11 <u>Overpayments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Obligation to Repay Overpayment.*** By accepting benefits under the Plan, Participants and Beneficiaries agree that if any payment from the Plan exceeds the amount of the Benefit to which that individual is entitled to receive under the Plan (including due to mistake of fact or law, reliance on false or fraudulent statements, information or proof submitted by a claimant, or continuation of payments after the death of a Participant or a Beneficiary) ("Overpayment"), a Participant, or if applicable, Beneficiary, will repay the Overpayment to the Plan upon receipt of a written notice by the Plan Administrator (or any other designee duly authorized by the Plan Administrator) requesting repayment, plus interest, attorneys' fees, and costs incurred by the Plan, Plan Administrator, or Sponsoring Employer to obtain repayment of the Overpayment ("Recovery Expenses") if the Overpayment is not repaid within 30 days from receipt of the written notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Recovery to Plan.*** The Plan Administrator has full authority, in its sole discretion, to recover the amount of any Overpayment paid by the Plan to or on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary and any Recovery Expenses. This authority includes the authority to: (i) obtain repayment of the Overpayment in a lump sum from any individual, (ii) reduce the Benefit payable from the Plan, including reducing future Benefit payments, (iii) reduce future benefits payable to a Beneficiary who is, or may become, entitled to receive payments under the Plan; and (iv) initiate legal action or take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to recover the Overpayment and Recovery Expenses.
