			In 2006, Liberty Media Corporation, which would, in 2011, become known as Liberty Interactive LLC (“Old Liberty”), adopted this Plan for the benefit of certain of its employees.  The Plan was amended and restated by Old Liberty in 2008.
		

		
			Prior to August 30, 2011, Liberty Media Corporation, formerly known as Liberty CapStarz, Inc. (“Old LMC”) was an indirect 100%-owned subsidiary of Old Liberty.  On August 30, 2011, Old LMC and the sole member of Old Liberty (“Old Liberty Parent”) entered into a reorganization agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) providing for the separation of Old Liberty Parent and Old LMC into two publicly traded corporations (the “Split-Off”).  Upon consummation of the Split-Off, employees of Old Liberty became employees of Old LMC.  In connection therewith, and in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement, Old LMC assumed the Plan (as amended and restated herein) and all liabilities relating thereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			On January 11, 2013, Old LMC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Spinco, Inc., entered into a reorganization agreement (the “2013 Reorganization Agreement”) providing for the separation of Old LMC and Liberty Spinco, Inc. into two publicly traded corporations (the “2013 Spin-Off”).  In connection therewith, and in accordance with the 2013 Reorganization Agreement, Liberty Spinco, Inc., which will be known as Liberty Media Corporation after the 2013 Spin-Off, assumed the Plan (as amended and restated herein) and all liabilities relating thereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Liberty Media Corporation amended and restated the Plan in its entirety effective January 1, 2015 and further amends and restates the Plan in its entirety effective January 1, 2016.

				 3.1.
			Elections.

			
	
			
				 3.1.1.
			Initial Elections.  Each Eligible Employee, by filing an Initial Election at the time and in the form described in this Article 3, shall have the right to defer all or any portion of the Eligible Compensation that he or she otherwise would be entitled to receive for services performed during the Plan Year following the year in which the election is made (or, with respect to a New Eligible Employee, during the Plan Year in which the election is made but only as to Eligible Compensation paid for services performed after the filing of such election), in each case net of applicable withholdings.  An Initial Election with respect to Performance-Based Compensation shall be effective only with respect to Performance-Based Compensation that is not substantially certain to be paid as of the date such election is filed.  The Compensation of such Eligible Employee for a Plan Year shall be reduced in an amount equal to the portion of the Eligible Compensation deferred by such Eligible Employee for such Plan Year pursuant to the Eligible Employee’s Initial Election.  Such reduction shall be effected (a) as to any portion of the Eligible Employee’s base salary so deferred, on a pro-rata basis from each periodic installment payment of the Eligible Employee’s base salary during the Plan Year (in accordance with the general pay practices of the Companies), and (b) as to any Cash Bonus so deferred, from such Cash Bonus as and when otherwise payable.  The amount of any such reduction shall be credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account(s) in accordance with Section 5.1.

			
	
			
				 3.1.2.
			Subsequent Elections.  Each Participant or Beneficiary shall have the right to elect to defer the time of payment or change the form of payment of amounts previously deferred in accordance with the terms of a previously made Initial Election pursuant to the terms of the Plan by filing a Subsequent Election at the time, subject to the requirements and in the form described in this Article 3.

			
	
			
				 3.2.
			Filing of Initial Election: General.  An Initial Election shall be made on such form as may be approved by the Committee for this purpose.  Except as provided in Section 3.3, no such Initial Election shall be effective with respect to Compensation other than Performance-Based Compensation unless it is filed with the Company on or before December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year to which the Initial Election applies.  An Initial Election described in the preceding sentence shall become irrevocable on December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year to which the Initial Election applies.  No such Initial Election shall be effective with respect to Performance-Based Compensation unless it is filed with the Company not less than six months before the end of the Performance Period during which such Performance-Based Compensation 

		 

		

			6

		

 

	may be earned.  An Initial Election described in the preceding sentence shall become irrevocable on the last day prior to the start of the six-month period referred to in such sentence.

			
	
			
				 3.3.
			Filing of Initial Election by New Eligible Employees.  Notwithstanding Section 3.2, a New Eligible Employee may elect to defer all or any portion of his or her Eligible Compensation earned for the performance of services in the Plan Year in which the New Eligible Employee becomes a New Eligible Employee, beginning with the payroll period next following the filing of an Initial Election with the Company and before the close of such Plan Year by making and filing the Initial Election with the Company within 30 days of the date on which such New Initial Employee becomes a New Eligible Employee.  Any Initial Election by such New Eligible Employee for succeeding Plan Years shall be made in accordance with Section 3.2.

			
	
			
				 3.4.
			Plan Years to which Initial Election May Apply.  A separate Initial Election may be made for each Plan Year as to which an Eligible Employee desires to defer all or any portion of such Eligible Employee’s Eligible Compensation.   The Initial Election shall specify the Account or Accounts described in Section 5.1 to which deferrals shall be allocated.  Any revocation of an Initial Election must be in writing and must be filed with the Company on or before December 31 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which such revocation applies.  The failure of an Eligible Employee to make an Initial Election for any Plan Year shall not affect such Eligible Employee’s right to make an Initial Election for any other Plan Year.

			
	
			
				 3.5.
			Initial Election of Distribution Events.  Each Eligible Employee shall, contemporaneously with an Initial Election, also elect the time of payment of the amount of the deferred Compensation to which such Initial Election relates.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Section 409A, the distribution event elected by each Eligible Employee may be (a) a specific month and year selected by the Eligible Employee, which does not occur earlier than in the calendar year two years after the calendar year during which the deferred Compensation is earned, and which does not occur later than the Outside Date, (b) the earlier to occur of the Outside Date,  a specific month and year selected by the Eligible Employee (if so selected under Section 3.5(a)), or the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service, or (c) such other distribution event permitted under Section 409A as the Committee may approve.

			
	
			
				 3.5.1.
			Failure to Elect Distribution Event.  If an Eligible Employee fails to elect a distribution event in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the earlier to occur of the Outside Date or the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service as the distribution event.

			
	
			
				 3.5.2.
			Installment Payments Treated as a Single Payment.  To the extent any portion of a Participant’s Account is to be distributed in installment payments, the right to such installment payments is treated as the entitlement to a single payment for purposes of making Subsequent Elections.

			
	
			
				 3.6.
			Subsequent Elections.  Any Subsequent Election with respect to deferred amounts in an Account may be made only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.6.  No Subsequent Election shall be effective until 12 months after the date on which such Subsequent Election is made (which shall be interpreted to require that any Subsequent Election with respect to a payment scheduled to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule be made at least 

		 

		

			7

		

 

	12 months in advance of the originally scheduled payment date or, in the case of a life annuity or installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).  Except with respect to a distribution upon Disability, death or Hardship, any Subsequent Election (including Subsequent Elections to change the form of payment) must defer the time of payment of such amount for a minimum of five additional years from the previously elected payment date.

			
	
			
				 3.6.1.
			Active Participants.  The number of Subsequent Elections that an Active Participant may make under this Section 3.6.1 shall not be limited.

			
	
			
				 3.6.2.
			Inactive Participants.  The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit an Inactive Participant to make one or more Subsequent Elections.  The number of Subsequent Elections that an Inactive Participant may make under this Section 3.6.2 shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion and need not be the same for all Inactive Participants.

			
	
			
				 3.6.3.
			Beneficiaries.  A Deceased Participant’s Beneficiary to whom the right to payment under the Plan shall have passed may make a Subsequent Election to defer the time of payment or change the form of payment of all or any portion of the Deceased Participant’s Account.  Such Beneficiary shall be entitled to one and only one Subsequent Election pursuant to this Section 3.6.3 with respect to a Participant’s Account but shall otherwise be treated as the Participant for all other purposes of the Plan.

			
	
			
				 3.6.4.
			Disabled Participant.  The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, permit a Disabled Participant to make a Subsequent Election to defer the time of payment or change the form of payment of all or any portion of such Participant’s Account.  The number of Subsequent Elections that a Disabled Participant may make under this Section 3.6.4 shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion and need not be the same for all Disabled Participants.

			
	
			
				 3.6.5.
			Most Recently Filed Initial Election or Subsequent Election Controlling.  Subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 3.8, Section 7.1, or Article 8 (each to the extent permitted under Section 409A), no distribution of the amounts deferred by a Participant for any Plan Year shall be made before the distribution event designated by the Participant or Beneficiary on the most recently filed and effective Initial Election or Subsequent Election with respect to such deferred amount.

			
	
			
				 3.7.
			Payment Following Occurrence of Distribution Event.  This Section 3.7 shall apply to deferrals of amounts occurring on and after January 1, 2015.  For deferrals of amounts prior to January 1, 2015, the terms of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2014 shall apply.  Following the occurrence of a distribution event designated by a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to an Initial Election or Subsequent Election made in accordance with this Plan, or a distribution event designated under the provisions of Section 3.5.1, and subject to any suspension or delay required under Section 3.9 or Section 3.10.2 or elected by the Company under Section 3.10.1, the Company shall make a lump-sum or percentage payment or commence making installment payments, as applicable, of any amount to which such election applies no later than the 60th day following the 

		 

		

			8

		

 

	date of such distribution event (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day).

			
	
			
				 3.7.1.
			Pursuant to Section 409A, a payment will be treated as made upon the date specified in Section 3.7 if such payment is made at such date, or a date that is no earlier than 30 days before the date specified in Section 3.7, or a later date in the same calendar year (or, if later, upon the 15th day of the third month following the year in which such payment date occurs), provided that the Participant or Beneficiary shall not be permitted to designate the Plan Year of the payment under this sentence.

			
	
			
				 3.8.
			Discretion to Accelerate Distributions in Full Upon or Following a Change of Control.  To the extent permitted under Section 409A, in connection with a Change of Control, during the 30 days preceding or the 12-month period following a Change of Control, the Committee may exercise its discretion to terminate the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A) and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the terms of any Initial Election or Subsequent Election, distribute the balances in the Accounts of each Participant and Beneficiary in full within 12 months after the date of such termination and thereby effect the revocation of any outstanding Initial Elections or Subsequent Elections.

			
	
			
				 3.9.
			Required Suspension of Payment of Benefits.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Participant’s election as to the date or time of payment of any amount payable under the Plan, to the extent required under Section 409A, any amount that otherwise would be payable to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of the Company, as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A, during the six-month period following such Participant’s Separation from Service, shall be suspended until the lapse of such six-month period (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant).  The amount that otherwise would be payable to such Participant during such period of suspension, together with interest on such suspended amount credited pursuant to the rules of the Plan, shall be paid in a single payment within 45 days following the end of such six-month period (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) or within 30 days following the death of the Participant during such six-month period, provided that the death of the Participant during such six-month period shall not cause the acceleration of any amount that otherwise would be payable on any date during such six-month period following the date of the Participant’s death.

			
	
			
				 3.10.
			Delay of Payment Under Certain Circumstances.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Initial Election or Subsequent Election as to the date or time of payment of any benefit payable under the Plan:

			
	
			
				 3.10.1.
			if the Company reasonably anticipates that, with respect to any payment scheduled to be made to a Participant from the Plan during a taxable year, the Company’s deduction for such payment would be limited or eliminated by the application of section 162(m) of the Code, such payment may, in the discretion of the Company be delayed; provided that such delay in payment will continue only until either (a) the first taxable year in which the Company reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that the deduction will not be so limited or eliminated or (b) the period beginning with the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service 

		 

		

			9

		

 

	occurs or the 15th day of the third month following such Separation from Service; provided, that (i) such delay in payment shall be treated as a Subsequent Election (thereby requiring a delay in future payments for at least five years to the extent required under Section 409A) unless all scheduled payments to that Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Section 3.10.1 also are delayed, and (ii) any distribution under this Section 3.10.1 made upon a Participant’s Separation from Service, including a Separation from Service that results in section 162(m) of the Code becoming inapplicable to a Participant, must comply with the provisions of Section 3.9 if the Participant is a “specified employee” of the Company; or

			
	
			
				 3.10.2.
			if the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of any payment scheduled to be made from the Plan would violate federal securities law or any other law applicable to the Company, such payment shall be delayed until the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation, provided that the making of a payment that would cause the inclusion of an amount in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code shall not be treated as a violation of applicable law under this Section 3.10.2.

			distributions shall be made in the form of a lump-sum payment unless the balances in the Participant’s Accounts, as of the benefit commencement date, 

		 

		

			10

		

 

	are more than the applicable dollar amount under section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code (which is $18,000 for 2015); and

			
	
			
				 4.1.3.2.
			if the balances in the Participant’s Accounts, plus the Participant’s vested interest in any other plan or plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under Section 409A, is equal to or less than the applicable dollar amount under section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code (which is $18,000 for 2015), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct that such amount (and such other interest(s)) be distributed to the Participant (or Beneficiary, as applicable) in one lump-sum payment, provided that such exercise of discretion is evidenced in writing no later than the date of such payment.

			
	
			
				 4.2.
			Determination of Account Balances For Purposes of Distribution.  The amount of any distribution made pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be based on the balance in the portion of the Participant’s Account(s) to be distributed on the date of distribution and the applicable distribution period.  For this purpose, the value of a Participant’s Account(s) shall be calculated by crediting interest at the Applicable Interest Rate through the end of the day immediately preceding the date of distribution.

			
	
			
				 4.3.
			Plan-to-Plan Transfers.  The Committee may delegate its authority to arrange for plan-to-plan transfers as described in this Section 4.3 to an officer of the Company or committee of two or more officers of the Company.

			
	
			
				 4.3.1.
			The Committee may, with a Participant’s consent, make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to transfer the Company’s obligation to pay benefits with respect to such Participant which have not become payable under this Plan to another employer, whether through a deferred compensation plan, program or arrangement sponsored by such other employer or otherwise, or to another deferred compensation plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate.  Following the completion of such transfer, with respect to the benefit transferred, the Participant shall have no further right to payment under this Plan.

			
	
			
				 4.3.2.
			The Committee may, with a Participant’s consent, make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to assume another employer’s obligation to pay benefits with respect to such Participant which have not become payable under the deferred compensation plan, program or arrangement under which such future right to payment arose, under the Plan, or to assume a future payment obligation of the Company or an Affiliate under another plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate.  Upon the completion of the Plan’s assumption of such payment obligation, the Company shall establish an Account for such Participant, and the Account shall be subject to the rules of this Plan, as in effect from time to time.

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			SEPARATION ACCOUNTS AND SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNTS

			
	
			
				 5.1.
			Accounts.

			
	
			
				 5.1.1.
			Solely for recordkeeping purposes one or more Separation Accounts and, if elected by the Participant, one or more Scheduled Distribution Accounts, shall be maintained for each Participant and credited with the Participant’s deferrals as directed in the applicable Initial Election for such deferral.  Eligible Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan shall be credited to the selected Account(s) on the date such Compensation would otherwise have 

		 

		

			11

		

 

	been payable to the Participant.  Interest shall be credited to the Account(s) as provided in Section 5.2.

			
	
			
				 5.1.2.
			The Committee in its complete discretion may limit the number of such Separation Accounts and/or such Scheduled Distribution Accounts that may be created by a Participant.  Once created, however, any Separation Account or Scheduled Distribution Account may not be removed from the Plan until all balances credited therein have been paid.

			
	
			
				 5.1.3.
			Any Account balance segregated by deferral year that was created prior to January 1, 2016 shall be transferred to a Separation Account or a Scheduled Distribution Account as appropriate.  Any such transfer shall not change the rights of the Participant to the Participant’s Account balance, nor shall it change the Participant’s distribution election as to timing or form of the payment of such Account balance.  Such transfer is only for bookkeeping purposes and to enable reporting to the Participant that accords with the Plan’s intent to track deferrals by Account rather than by deferral year.

			
	
			
				 5.2.
			Crediting of Interest to Accounts.  Each Participant’s Account(s) shall be credited with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate.  Such interest shall be calculated with respect to Eligible Compensation deferred by such Participant in accordance with this Plan from the date such Compensation would otherwise have been payable to the Participant through the end of the day immediately preceding the date on which such deferred Compensation is payable to such Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) in accordance with this Plan.

			
	
			
				 5.3.
			Status of Deferred Amounts.  All Compensation deferred under this Plan shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Company.

			
	
			
				 5.4.
			Participants’ Status as General Creditors.  Account(s) shall at all times represent a  general obligation of the Company.  Each Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company with respect to this obligation and shall not have a secured or preferred position with respect to his or her Account(s).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create an escrow, trust, custodial account or fiduciary relationship of any kind.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to eliminate any priority or preferred position of a Participant in a bankruptcy matter with respect to claims for wages.

			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			NO ALIENATION OF BENEFITS

		
			Except as otherwise required by law, the right of any Participant or Beneficiary to any benefit or interest under any of the provisions of the Plan shall not be subject to encumbrance, attachment, execution, garnishment, assignment, pledge, alienation, sale, transfer or anticipation, either by the voluntary or involuntary act of any Participant or Beneficiary or by operation of law, nor shall such payment, right or interest be subject to any other legal or equitable process.
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			DEATH OF PARTICIPANT

			
	
			
				 7.1.
			Death of Participant.  A Deceased Participant’s Account(s) shall be distributed in accordance with the last effective Initial Election or Subsequent Election made by the Deceased Participant before the Deceased Participant’s death, unless the Deceased Participant’s Beneficiary 

		 

		

			12

		

 

	to whom the right to payment under the Plan shall have passed timely elects to defer the time of payment pursuant to Section 3.6.3.

			
	
			
				 7.2.
			Designation of Beneficiaries.  Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the right to designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive distributions in the event of the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s death by filing with the Company a Beneficiary designation on the form provided by the Company for such purpose.  The designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries may be changed by a Participant or Beneficiary at any time prior to such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s death by the delivery to the Company of a new Beneficiary designation form.

			
	
			
				 8.
			

			
	
			
			HARDSHIP AND OTHER ACCELERATION EVENTS

			
	
			
				 8.1.
			Hardship.  Notwithstanding the terms of an Initial Election or Subsequent Election, if, at the Participant’s request, the Committee determines that the Participant has incurred a Hardship, the Committee may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted under Section 409A, authorize the immediate distribution of that portion of the Participant’s Account(s) reasonably necessary to satisfy the Hardship need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).

			
	
			
				 8.2.
			Other Acceleration Events.  To the extent permitted under Section 409A, notwithstanding the terms of an Initial Election or Subsequent Election, distribution of all or part of a Participant’s Account(s) may be made:

			
	
			
				 8.2.1.
			To an individual other than the Participant to the extent necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code).

			
	
			
				 8.2.2.
			To the extent reasonably necessary to avoid a violation of an applicable federal, state, local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of interest law (including where such payment is reasonably necessary to permit the Participant to participate in activities in the normal course of his or her position with the Company in which the Participant otherwise would not be able to participate under an applicable rule).

			
	
			
				 8.2.3.
			To pay the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (“FICA”) tax imposed under sections 3101 and 3121(v)(2) of the Code on Compensation deferred under the Plan (the “FICA Amount”) plus the income tax at source on wages imposed under section 3401 of the Code with respect to the FICA Amount, and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding section 3401 wages and taxes, provided that the total amount distributable under this Section 8.2.3 shall not exceed the sum of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA Amount.

			
	
			
				 8.2.4.
			To pay the amounts includable in income under Section 409A, provided that the total amount distributable under this Section 8.2.4 shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure of this Plan to comply with Section 409A.

		 

		

			13

		

 

			
	
			
				 9.
			

			
	
			
			INTERPRETATION

			
	
			
				 9.1.
			Authority of Committee.  The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority to construe, interpret and administer this Plan and the Committee’s construction and interpretation thereof shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

			
	
			
				 9.2.
			Claims Procedure.  If an individual (hereinafter referred to as the “Applicant,” which reference shall include the legal representative, if any, of the individual) does not receive timely payment of benefits to which the Applicant believes he or she is entitled under the Plan, the Applicant may make a claim for benefits in the manner hereinafter provided.

		
			An Applicant may file a claim for benefits with the Committee on a form supplied by the Company.  If the Committee wholly or partially denies a claim, the Committee shall provide the Applicant with a written notice stating:
		

			
	
			
				 9.2.1.
			The specific reason or reasons for the denial;

			
	
			
				 9.2.2.
			Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

			
	
			
				 9.2.3.
			A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Applicant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

			
	
			
				 9.2.4.
			Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken in order to submit a claim for review.

		
			Written notice of a denial of a claim shall be provided within 60 days of the receipt of the claim, provided that if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Committee may notify the Applicant in writing that an additional period of up to 60 days will be required to process the claim.
		

		
			If the Applicant’s claim is denied, the Applicant shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of written notice of the denial of the claim to request a review of the denial of the claim by the Committee.  Request for review of the denial of a claim must be submitted in writing.  The Applicant shall have the right to review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments to the Committee in writing.  The Committee shall provide a written decision within 60 days of its receipt of the Applicant’s request for review, provided that if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review of the Applicant’s claim, the Committee may notify the Applicant in writing that an additional period of up to 60 days shall be required to process the Applicant’s request for review.
		

		
			It is intended that the claims procedures of this Plan be administered in accordance with the claims procedure regulations of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR § 2560.503-1.

			AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

			
	
			
				 10.1.
			Amendment or Termination.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.2, the Company, by action of the Committee, reserves the right at any time, or from time to time, to amend or modify this Plan, including amendments for the purpose of complying with Section 409A.  The Company, by action of the Board, reserves the right at any time to terminate this Plan.

			
	
			
				 10.2.
			Amendment of Rate of Credited Earnings.

			
	
			
				 10.2.1.
			Effective for amounts deferred on or before December 31, 2014 (including deferrals of bonuses earned in 2014 but paid in 2015), no amendment shall decrease the Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the portion of a Participant’s Account that is attributable to an Initial Election or Subsequent Election made with respect to Eligible Compensation earned in a Plan Year which election has become irrevocable before the date of adoption of such amendment by the Committee.  For purposes of this Section 10.2, a Subsequent Election to defer the payment of part or all of an Account or Accounts for an additional period after a previously-elected payment date (as described in Section 3.6) shall be treated as a Subsequent Election separate from any previous Initial Election or Subsequent Election with respect to such Account or Accounts.  As clarification, a Subsequent Election shall be treated as a new deferral subject to Section 10.2.2 as of the previously-elected payment date.

			
	
			
				 10.2.2.
			Effective for amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2015, the Committee may amend the Plan with respect to the Applicable Interest Rate at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control.  After the occurrence of a Change of Control, the method for determining the Applicable Interest Rate, whether a fixed rate or floating rate, may not be changed for amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2015, whether under elections in effect as of the date of the Change of Control or in effect for years prior to the Change of Control.

			
	
			
				 11.
			

			
	
			
			WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

		
			Whenever the Company is required to credit deferred Compensation to the Account of a Participant, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the date on which the deferred Compensation shall be deemed credited to the Account of the Participant, or take any action whatever that it deems necessary to protect its interests with respect to tax liabilities.  The Company’s obligation to credit deferred Compensation to an Account shall be conditioned on the Participant’s compliance, to the Company’s satisfaction, with any withholding requirement.  To the maximum extent possible, the Company shall satisfy all applicable withholding tax requirements by withholding tax from other Compensation payable by the Company to the Participant, or by the Participant’s remittance of cash to the Company in an amount equal to the applicable withholding tax.
		

		 

		

			15

		

 

			
	
			
				 12.
			

			
	
			
			MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

			
	
			
				 12.1.
			No Right to Continued Employment.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant the right to remain in the employment of the Company as an executive or in any other capacity.

			
	
			
				 12.2.
			Expenses of Plan.  All expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

			
	
			
				 12.3.
			Gender and Number.  Whenever any words are used herein in any specific gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in any other applicable gender.

				 12.4.
			Law Governing Construction.  The construction and administration of the Plan and all questions pertaining thereto, shall be governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and other applicable federal law and, to the extent not governed by federal law, by the internal laws of the State of Colorado.

			
	
			
				 12.5.
			Headings Not a Part Hereof.  Any headings preceding the text of the several Articles, Sections, subsections, or paragraphs hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of the Plan, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.

			
	
			
				 12.6.
			Severability of Provisions.  If any provision of this Plan is determined to be void by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Plan shall continue to operate and, for the purposes of the jurisdiction of that court only, shall be deemed not to include the provision determined to be void.

			
	
			
				 12.7.
			Compliance with Section 409A.  This Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Section 409A and at all times shall be interpreted and operated in compliance therewith.

			
	
			
				 13.
			

			
	
			
			EFFECTIVE DATE

 2. Borrower has requested the modification of certain terms and provisions of the Credit
Agreement. 
 3. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the parties hereto are willing to enter into this Amendment.

hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
  

	 	“(e)	Other Indebtedness. A (i) default shall occur in the payment of more than $150,000,000 when due (subject to any applicable grace period), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal amount of any
Indebtedness of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) default by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition pertaining to Indebtedness of Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $150,000,000 or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing, or pertaining thereto, and such default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness being declared due and payable
prior to its stated maturity and, after expiration of any applicable grace period, the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary shall not have fully paid the resulting amount thereof.” 

SECTION 3. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof duly executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Required Lenders.

and correct as of such earlier date). 
 (ii) The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite authority, permits and approvals, and is in good standing to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted where the failure to so qualify would have

 (iii) The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Amendment are within
Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on behalf of it. 
 (iv)

validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 2

parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
