MARATHON PETROLEUM
THRIFT PLAN
ARTICLE I.   PURPOSE
The purpose of the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan (the “Plan”) is to assist employees in maintaining a steady program of savings, in supplementing their retirement income and in meeting their financial emergencies.
ARTICLE II.   ELIGIBILITY
		
	2.01
	Any employee of Marathon Petroleum Company LP (the “Company”) or a Participating Employer is eligible to become a member of the Plan, except:

		
	A.
	any employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement with a Participating Employer that does not expressly provide for the employee’s participation in the Plan, provided that retirement benefits were the subject of good faith negotiation between the applicable Participating Employer and the employee’s collective bargaining representatives;

		
	B.
	any employee compensated through a leasing entity, whether or not the leased employee falls within the definition of “leased employee” as defined in Section 414(n) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”); 

		
	C.
	any individual who has signed an agreement, or has otherwise agreed to provide services to a Participating Employer as an independent contractor, regardless of the tax or other legal consequences of such an arrangement; and

		
	D.
	any employee of Speedway LLC or Speedway Prepaid Card LLC regularly classified by such Participating Employer as salary grade 11 or below. 

Prior to January 1, 2014, an employee was also required to be at least age 21 and to have completed one year of vesting service in order to become a member.  That requirement was eliminated effective as of January 1, 2014. Beginning on January 1, 2014, student workers were not eligible to become a member of the Plan; that restriction was eliminated effective as of January 1, 2016. For purposes of this Plan, the term “member,” unless otherwise

1

described, shall mean Active Members, Members with Account(s) in Suspense, Retired Members, and Non-employee Members, all as defined in Article IV.
		
	2.02
	For purposes of the Plan, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

		
	A.
	“Controlled Group” means any entity or organization required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to Code Section 414(b), (c), (m), (n), or (o).  Within this Plan document, the term “Controlled Group” refers to the Controlled Group to which the Company belongs, as in effect from time to time.

		
	B.
	“Service Year” means a twelve month period beginning on the date an employee first performs an Hour of Service and ending on the anniversary of that date.  Following an employee’s first employment year, Service Year will be calculated based on the Plan Year.  The first Plan Year measured is the Plan Year that begins coincident with or next following the date the employee first performs an Hour of Service.

		
	C.
	“Participating Employer” means Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“Corporation”); Marathon Petroleum Company LP; Marathon Petroleum Service Company; Marathon Pipe Line LLC; Catlettsburg Refining LLC; Marathon Petroleum Logistics Services LLC; MW Logistics Services LLC; Blanchard Refining Company LLC; Speedway LLC, Speedway Prepaid Card LLC.  

		
	D.
	“Hours of Service” means the hours for which an employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, by an employer in the Controlled Group for performing duties during the applicable Service Year and for reasons other than performance of duties, including each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, has either been awarded or agreed to by the employer, such hours to be credited and calculated in accordance with Department of Labor Reg. Sec. 2530.200b-2.  Each Hour of Service shall be credited to the employee for the Service Year in which he or she performed the duties, regardless of when payment is made or due.   In the event a member performed services for an employer formerly in the Controlled 

2

Group, Appendix A provides additional provisions with respect to the Plan’s service crediting rules. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, service credit with respect to qualified military service (as defined in Article XVI) will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u).
ARTICLE III.    JOINING THE PLAN
Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary and any employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Article II is eligible to participate in the Plan. An eligible employee may commence participation by completing and properly submitting a valid pay reduction agreement by which the member elects to make Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, or Roth Deferral Contributions, or by electing to make a Rollover Contribution in accordance with Section 5.02D. The member’s initial deferral election and any subsequent elections shall be effective as of the first day of the first payroll period for which it is administratively practicable to implement that election after the date it is received by the Plan Administrator or its delegate.
ARTICLE IV.  CLASSES OF MEMBERSHIP
The manner in which a member is permitted to direct their account(s) depends on the class of membership to which the member belongs.  These classes of membership are:
		
	A.
	Active Member.  An eligible employee of a Participating Employer is an Active Member for any period during which the employee is receiving Compensation and has elected to make contributions to the Plan in accordance with Article III.

		
	B.
	Member with Account(s) in Suspense.  A member who (i) transfers at the request of his or her Participating Employer to a non-Participating Employer within the Controlled Group (including a member who is reclassified into a position with a Participating Employer that is excluded from participation in this Plan), or (ii) is an eligible employee of a Participating Employer and has voluntarily or involuntarily (for example, a member on approved leave who is not receiving Compensation) had member contributions suspended or had contributions suspended pursuant to Sections 13.01 or 13.05, will have their account(s) held in suspense.  A Deferred 

3

Member who is subsequently rehired by a non-Participating Employer in the Controlled Group will be considered a Member with Account(s) in Suspense.  A member who transferred at the request of his or her Participating Employer to a non-Participating Employer who is required to be aggregated with Marathon Oil Corporation pursuant to Code Section 414(b), (c), (m), (n), or (o) (the “MOC controlled group”) before July 1, 2011 and whose balance under the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan was transferred to the Plan in connection with the spin-off of the Corporation from Marathon Oil Corporation (“MOC”) is also a Member with Account(s) in Suspense.
The definition of Member with Account(s) in Suspense includes an employee who was an Active Member but whose status is changed from a common law employee to a leased employee (as defined in Code Section 414(n)(2)) of a Participating Employer and/or a member of the Controlled Group. 
The definition of Member with Account(s) in Suspense also includes all Scurlock Permian employees who on the closing date of the sale of Scurlock Permian (May 18, 1999) continue in employment with Scurlock Permian, the purchasing company or any affiliated company. 
		
	C.
	Retired Member.  On and after January 1, 2016, any member who terminates employment from a member of the Controlled Group either (i) on or after attaining age 50, with ten years of vesting service (as determined under Article XI), or (ii) on or after attaining age 65, is a Retired Member for purposes of this Plan until the entire balance of the member’s Account(s) is distributed. A member who retired (and was considered a retired member under the terms of the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan) prior to July 1, 2011 from a member of the MOC controlled group and whose balance under the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan was transferred to the Plan in connection with the spin-off of the Corporation from MOC is also a Retired Member.  A member who terminated employment from a member of the Controlled Group prior to January 1, 2016 and on or after attaining age 50, with three years of vesting service (as determined under Article XI), is a Retired Member for purposes of this Plan until the entire balance of the member’s Account(s) is distributed. A 

4

Retired Member with a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less may maintain an open Thrift account(s) until no later than 60 days after their retirement date. 
		
	D.
	Non-employee Member.  Non-employee Members include the following membership types:

		
	1.
	Deferred Member. A Deferred Member is any member who terminates employment with all members of the Controlled Group, does not qualify as a Retired Member, and continues to maintain an open account.  Deferred Members who have a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less may maintain open accounts until no later than 60 days after their date of termination of employment.  All other Deferred Members may maintain open accounts until no later than the April 1 immediately following the calendar year in which such members attain age 701⁄2.  

		
	2.
	Spouse Beneficiary Member. A Spouse Beneficiary Member is a beneficiary who was the spouse of an Active Member, Retired Member, or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense at the time of such member’s death.  A Spouse Beneficiary Member who has a Plan balance of $5,000 or less may defer final settlement of their Thrift Account(s) until no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during which they became a Spouse Beneficiary Member.  All other Spouse Beneficiary Members may maintain open accounts for their lifetime, subject to the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9).

		
	3.
	Beneficiary Member. Beneficiaries, including beneficiaries of Spouse Beneficiary Members (designated by the member or provided under the terms of this Plan), who have a Plan balance of $5,000 or less may defer final settlement of their account(s) until no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during which they become a Beneficiary Member.  All other Beneficiary Members may maintain open accounts until no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of the member’s death, subject to the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9).

5

		
	4.
	Alternate Payee Member. An Alternate Payee Member is an individual who becomes a member as the result of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  Effective January 9, 2012, if a withdrawal of the Alternate Payee Member’s account balance has not been made earlier, then Alternate Payee Members will receive an automatic distribution of the account balance from the Plan no later than 180 days after the account has been established. An Alternate Payee Member with a Plan balance of $5,000 or less may maintain an open account(s) until no later than 60 days after becoming such a member or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter when a distribution may be processed.

ARTICLE V.    MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS
		
	5.01
	General.  A member may elect to change the rate of their contributions or to voluntarily suspend or resume their contributions at any time with each change becoming effective as soon as administratively practicable after the member has validly filed a pay reduction agreement with the Plan Administrator.

		
	5.02
	Types of Contributions. Members may make the following types of contributions to the Plan:

		
	A.
	Pre-Tax Contributions. Each Active Member may elect to make Pre-Tax Contributions from 1% to 25% (in whole percentages only) of Compensation.  This election may be changed at any time, including automatically through a member’s election to participate in the Automatic Increase Program as specified in Section 5.04.

		
	B.
	After-Tax Contributions.  Active Members may elect to contribute from 1% to 18% (in whole percentages only) of Compensation as After-Tax Contributions, except that highly compensated employees (as defined in Section 5.03C.) will not be eligible to make After-Tax Contributions on or after January 1, 2016.  This election may be changed at any time, including automatically through a member’s election to participate in the Automatic Increase Program as specified in Section 5.04.  

6

		
	C.
	Roth Deferral Contributions.  Each Active Member may elect to make Roth Deferral Contribution from 1% to 25% (in whole percentages only) of Compensation.  This election may be changed at any time, including automatically through a member’s election to participate in the Automatic Increase Program as specified in Section 5.04.  The sum of Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions cannot exceed 25% of Compensation.  See Appendix E for more details regarding the terms and conditions that apply to Roth Deferral Contributions.

		
	D.
	Rollover Contributions or Direct Plan Transfer Contributions. Active Members, Members with Account(s) in Suspense, and Retired Members may make Rollover Contributions or Direct Plan Transfer Contributions of qualified distributions from any tax-qualified plan or any IRA holding amounts described in Code Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii).  However, Roth Rollover Contributions will only be accepted from another tax-qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a).  The Plan will not accept Rollover Contributions or Direct-Plan Transfer Contributions from a Code Section 403(a) plan or a Roth  IRA.  For purposes of this Section 5.02D., “tax-qualified plan” shall mean: 

- a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(b), including after-tax employee contributions.
- an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
Deferred Members, and prior Deferred Members, may also make Rollover Contributions (but not Direct Plan Transfer Contributions), from any of the above.
Individuals who are eligible to become Active Members, but have elected not to contribute to the Plan or have previously elected to withdraw their entire account balance are permitted to make Rollover Contributions to the Plan.  The Plan may also accept Rollover Contributions from prior Members with Account(s) in Suspense and Retired Members who previously closed their Plan Account(s).
Subject to Plan Administrator approval, Spouse Beneficiary Members have the right to roll over distributions from qualified retirement plans sponsored by any employer 

7

whereby the Plan has recognized vesting time for prior service of the deceased member.  This right is limited solely to Spouse Beneficiary Members as permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
All such Rollover Contributions or Direct Plan Transfer Contributions must consist of cash, unless the Plan Administrator agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept any property other than cash. The member must submit written certification that the Rollover Contribution qualifies as a Rollover Contribution.
Rollover Contributions must be made by the member within 60 days after the member has received their distribution from the applicable eligible retirement plan.
		
	5.03
	Limitations on Member Contributions

		
	A.
	In General. Subject to adjustments by the Plan Administrator to comply with the provisions of the Code, an Active Member may make Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Roth Deferral Contributions as specified in Sections 5.02A, 5.02B, and 5.02C above.

Contributions to the Plan will be elected in percentages of Compensation.  “Compensation” shall mean all wages, salaries and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered by an eligible employee in the course of employment with the Participating Employer to the extent that the amounts are includible in the eligible employee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, and, shall only include remuneration items that constitute compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(c)-2 including, but not limited to:
		
	(i)
	commissions and bonuses;

		
	(ii)
	Differential Pay (as defined below);

		
	(iii)
	the Marathon Petroleum Company LP Success Through People (STP) payouts; 

		
	(iv)
	sick pay (including short-term disability payments made by a Participating Employer), vacation pay, or holiday pay; and

8

		
	(v)
	except as otherwise provided herein, any other annual incentive compensation programs as may be established by the Company and other Participating Employers from time to time. 

The foregoing inclusions are to be interpreted to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(c)-2(b), as modified by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.415(c)-2(d)(2) and 1.414(s)-1(c)(3).  Compensation shall also include amounts that are not includible in the eligible employee’s gross income under a salary reduction agreement by reason of the application of Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), or 457(b).
Where an eligible employee terminates employment with the Controlled Group, Compensation shall include regular compensation for services actually performed during regular working hours (including, but not limited to, overtime, commissions, and bonus compensation) that is paid after employment termination solely because the applicable pay date occurs after the employee’s employment is terminated, but shall not include, in any circumstance, (i) amounts paid after the later of the end of the Plan Year that includes the employee’s employment termination date or 21⁄2 months after the employment termination date, (ii) remuneration for accrued vacation or other leave paid after the employment termination date; (iii) salary continuation paid after the employment termination date; or (iv) severance pay paid after the employment termination date. 
Differential Pay means any payment made by a Participating Employer to an eligible employee with respect to any period during which the eligible employee is performing service in the uniformed services (as defined in USERRA) while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days, the amount of which represents the difference, if any, between the wages the eligible employee would have received from the Participating Employer if the eligible employee were performing service for the Participating Employer and the military pay the eligible employee receives while on active duty performing service in the uniformed services.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Compensation for any eligible employee does not include the following remuneration items:

9

		
	(i)
	amounts includible in an eligible employee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes under the rules of Code Section 409A or Code Section 457(f)(1)(A) or because the amounts are constructively received by the employee;

		
	(ii)
	reimbursements and allowances for expenses, including (but not limited to) relocation expenses, company-paid parking and transportation expenses, certain tax allowances specified as not eligible compensation by the Participating Employer, moving expenses and automobile allowances, whether or not includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes;

		
	(iii)
	fringe benefits (cash and noncash), deferred compensation (including, but not limited to, performance share awards), certain employee prizes specified as not eligible compensation by the Participating Employer (including awards such as Marawards), company-paid premiums for group term life insurance (whether or not includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes), and welfare benefits (exclusive of short-term disability benefits paid by a Participating Employer);

		
	(iv)
	employer contributions to a deferred compensation plan (whether non-qualified and unfunded or tax-qualified) to the extent that the contributions are not includible in the eligible employee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year in which contributed;

		
	(v)
	distributions from a deferred compensation plan (whether non-qualified and unfunded or tax-qualified), whether or not includible in the eligible employee’s gross income for federal income tax purposes;

		
	(vi)
	amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or when restricted stock or other property held by the eligible employee either becomes freely transferrable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;

		
	(vii)
	amounts realized from the disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; 

		
	(viii)
	other amounts that receive special tax benefits; and

10

		
	(ix)
	severance payments made to the eligible employee after the employee’s employment termination date.

The foregoing exclusions are to be interpreted to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(c)-2(c), as modified by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.415(c)-2(d)(2) and 1.414(s)-1(c)(3).  The maximum annual Compensation recognized by the Plan for an eligible employee may not exceed the amount set forth under Code Section 401(a)(17), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the law.  Compensation means gross pay during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which gross pay is otherwise determined under the Plan (the “determination period”).  Any adjustment in accordance with the law in effect for a calendar year applies to Compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.
		
	B.
	Maximum Deferrals.  Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions, including any contributions to this Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by an employer in the Controlled Group, that exceed the limit under Code Section 402(g), will not be permitted and, subject to appropriate adjustment for any gains or losses through December 31 of the year of the excess, or the date of return, if earlier, will be returned to the affected member no later than April 15 of the year following the year in which the excess occurred unless they are recharacterized, as described in the following paragraph.  Any references in this Plan to the amount of excess Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions that are to be reallocated and/or distributed pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be interpreted to include the appropriate adjustment for gains and losses described above.

Any excess Pre-Tax Contributions and excess Roth Deferral Contributions will not be permitted and will first be transferred to the After-Tax Account, up to the limit, and subject to the eligibility conditions, specified in Section 5.02B. with any remaining balance to be included in the member’s paycheck.  Pre-Tax Contributions will be decreased first, followed by Roth Deferral Contributions, which will be decreased to comply with the limits specified in Sections 5.02A. and 5.02C.  If it is not possible to transfer such excess to the member’s After-Tax Account or to include 

11

such excess in the member’s paycheck, a separate check in the amount of the excess, subject to appropriate adjustment for any gains or losses as described above, will be issued to the affected member as permitted by law.    
		
	C.
	Limitations on After-Tax Contributions.  After-Tax Contributions must satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage (“ACP”) test of Code Section 401(m), which is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan elects to use the current year testing method for the ACP test.

In the event that the ACP test is not satisfied, any excess After-Tax Contributions (referred to as “ACP test contributions”), and adjustment for any gains or losses attributable to the ACP test contributions for the year in which the excess occurred, shall be distributed no later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the failure occurred.  Excess ACP test contribution amounts shall be determined by ranking all highly compensated employees in descending order based on the dollar amount of their ACP test contributions.  ACP test contributions of the highly compensated employee with the highest dollar amount of ACP test contributions shall be reduced until the amount is equal to the ACP test contributions of the highly compensated employee with the next highest dollar amount.  This procedure is repeated until all excess ACP test contributions are identified and distributed from the Plan.  
The term “highly compensated employee” means an employee who (i) was a 5% owner, as that term is defined in Code Section 416(i), either during the current Plan Year or the prior Plan Year, or (ii) had Gross Pay (as defined in Section 7.02 of the Plan) in excess of $120,000 (as increased by cost-of-living adjustment sunder Code Section 414(q)) for the prior Plan Year.  
		
	5.04
	Automatic Increase Program

Active Members may elect to enroll in a program that will automatically increase their rate of contributions on an annual basis.  A member choosing to participate in the program must elect an increase amount, in whole percentages of Compensation only, and a date on which the increase is to be applied each year (for example, increase member contributions by 2% 

12

of Compensation each April 1).  Subject to the Plan and statutory limits, the increase will be applied to the member’s election for Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions to the extent possible and then to the member’s After-Tax election.  A member may elect to voluntarily terminate his or her participation in this program at any time.  Any election to voluntarily terminate participation in the program shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable after the election has been properly made with the Plan Administrator.
		
	5.05
	Catch-Up Contributions

All members who are eligible to make Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v).  Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415.  
Eligible members may elect to make Catch-Up Contributions from 1% to 50% (in whole percentages only) of Compensation.  Catch-Up Contributions shall be permitted only by eligible members with respect to whom no Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Deferral Contributions may be made to the Plan for that taxable year by reason of the application of the Section 402(g) limit or any other limitations on Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Deferral Contributions for that taxable year in accordance with, and subject to the limits of, Code Section 414(v).  Members must specify whether their Catch-Up Contributions will be Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions or Roth Deferral Catch-Up Contributions.  Catch-Up Contributions may not exceed a maximum annual dollar limit pursuant to Code Section 414(v), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the law.
		
	5.06
	Roth In Plan Conversion

A member may elect to convert all or a portion of their vested accounts within the Plan that are eligible for distribution, and qualifies as an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Code Section 402(c)(4)), to a Roth Conversion Account within the Plan.  Amounts converted 

13

will be included in gross income to the extent they would be included in gross income as if distributed in the year of conversion.
ARTICLE VI.    MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS
The Participating Employers will make Matching Contributions for its members for each Plan Year as provided in this Article VI. Each Participating Employer will, for any given pay period, match the Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Roth Deferral Contributions, of its Active Members up to a maximum of 6% of Compensation, at the rate of $1.17 per dollar contributed; provided, however, that a Participating Employer will not contribute Matching Contributions on behalf of a member who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement with his or her Participating Employer unless the Participating Employer has entered into a definitive agreement with a member’s union expressly requiring the Participating Employer to contribute matching contributions. The intent is that the Matching Contributions are to be administered on a pay-period-by-pay-period basis such that the Participating Employer will contribute Matching Contributions each pay period based on the member’s Compensation and Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Roth Deferral Contributions for that pay period.  The Participating Employer will true-up Matching Contributions at the end of the Plan Year so that the member’s  aggregate Matching Contributions for the Plan Year shall equal the amount determined under the Matching Contribution formula (that is, up to 6% of Compensation, at the rate of $1.17 per dollar contributed)  using the member’s Compensation and eligible contributions, which would include for this purpose Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Roth Deferral Contributions, and Catch-Up Contributions, for the Plan Year. Participating Employers will not match Rollover Contributions or Direct Plan Transfer Contributions.
ARTICLE VII.    MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS LIMITATION
		
	7.01
	General.  The annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to a participant’s Thrift account(s) for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:

		
	(a)
	$53,000, as automatically increased as of January 1 of any calendar year to reflect any cost-of-living adjustment or other increase authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, or

14

		
	(b)
	100% of the participant’s Gross Pay, as defined in this Article VII of the Plan.

The limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or Code Section 419A(f)(2)), which is otherwise treated as an annual addition.
		
	7.02
	For purposes of the limitation in Section 7.01, a member’s Gross Pay shall include the member’s wages, salaries, fees for professional service, and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Participating Employer or any of the members of the Controlled Group (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, and bonuses) and elective deferrals under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), and 457(b).  A member’s Gross Pay shall also include amounts described in Code Sections 104(a)(3), 105(a), or 105(h), but only to the extent includable in the member’s gross income; nondeductible reimbursed moving expenses; amounts includible in the member’s gross income upon grant of a nonstatutory stock option, or an election under Code Section 83(b); and amounts includible in the member’s gross income as constructively received under the rules of Code Section 409A or 457(f)(1)(A).  However, a member’s Gross Pay shall exclude such items as employer contributions to a qualified plan of deferred compensation, income realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, income realized from the disposition of stock acquired under an incentive stock option, and reimbursed deductible moving expenses.  Gross Pay, for the purposes of the foregoing limitation, shall also include: amounts paid or made available after a member’s severance from service, required to be included under Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(e)(3)(i) and 1.415(c)-2(e)(3)(ii); gross pay to a member who does not currently perform services for the Participating Employer by reason of qualified military service (as defined in Article XVI) made in accordance with the Participating Employer’s current policy with regard to such qualified military service, to the extent these payments do not exceed the amount the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Participating Employer rather than entering qualified military service, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(e)(4); and payments of 

15

back pay within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8).  This definition of Gross Pay is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2.
For purposes of compliance with Code Section 414(u), a member’s Gross Pay shall include differential wage payments (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2)) from the Employer.
		
	7.03
	Prevention of Excess Annual Additions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the otherwise permissible annual addition for any member under this Plan may be reduced to the extent necessary, as determined by the Plan Administrator, to prevent disqualification of the Plan under Code Section 415, which imposes limitations on the benefits payable to members who also may be participating in another tax-qualified pension, thrift savings, or employee stock ownership plan maintained by the Company or any of the members of the Controlled Group.
For purposes of this article the term “annual addition” means the sum of:
		
	A.
	Employer contributions (including Pre-Tax Contributions),

		
	B.
	All employee contributions (but excluding Catch-Up and Rollover Contributions), and

		
	C.
	Forfeitures.

ARTICLE VIII.    ACCOUNTING AND INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
		
	8.01
	Accounts

Contributions to the Plan shall be accounted for with a separate account maintained for each member to which contributions and earnings thereon will be credited so as to provide separate accounting and allocations of gains and losses for each member relative to the following accounts:
		
	A.
	Pre-Tax Account.  This account contains all Pre-Tax Contributions (which may include Direct Plan Transfer Contributions from a Code Section 401(k) account) and the related earnings.

		
	B.
	Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contribution Account.  This account contains all Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions made by eligible members and the related earnings.

16

		
	C.
	After-Tax Account. This account contains (1) all post-1986 After-Tax Contributions (including the tax-paid employee contribution portion of the 1987 ESOP Direct Plan Transfer Contributions and Retroactive After-Tax Contributions made after 1986), and (2) all pre-1987 tax-paid contributions plus the related earnings.  A separate subaccount of this account contains the pre-1987 tax-paid contributions and the related earnings.

		
	D.
	Roth Deferral Contribution Account. This account contains Roth Deferral Contributions, which are described in Appendix E, and the related earnings.

		
	E.
	Rollover Account.  This account contains monies contributed to the Plan as the result of a rollover from another tax-qualified plan or an IRA holding amounts described in Code Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) and the related earnings, except for Roth deferral amounts that have been rolled over from another tax-qualified plan.

		
	F.
	Company Matching Account.  This account contains all Matching Contributions and the related earnings made to the Plan with respect to periods prior to January 1, 2016. Amounts held in the Company Matching Account are not intended to satisfy the “safe harbor” requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11). 

		
	G.
	Roth Catch-Up Account. This account contains all Roth Catch-Up Contributions made by eligible members and the related earnings.

		
	H.
	Roth Rollover Account.  This account contains Roth deferral amounts that have been rolled over from another tax-qualified plan and the related earnings.

		
	I.
	Roth In-Plan Conversion Account.  This account contains amounts that have been converted pursuant to Section 5.06 and the related earnings.

		
	J.
	Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account.  This account contains all Matching Contributions and the related earnings made to the Plan with respect to periods on or after January 1, 2016. Amounts held in this account are intended to satisfy the “safe harbor” requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11).

		
	K.
	Other Accounts.  The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain other accounts as necessary to depict accurately a member’s interest under the Plan.

17

For purposes of this Plan, the terms “account” or account(s), unless otherwise defined, shall mean each of the accounts listed above.
		
	8.02
	Investment of Accounts

Members may direct the investment of their contributions and their existing account balance amounts in active investment options in whole increments of 1%.  For this purpose, active investment options include:
		
	A.
	Marathon Petroleum Corporation Common Stock Fund. Invests in Marathon Petroleum Corporation Common Stock, and a small portion may also be invested in cash for liquidity purposes.

		
	B.
	Designated Investment Options. A Designated Investment Option is any investment fund or product designated by the Investment Committee.  “Designated Investment Options” may include (without limitation) a mutual fund, interest in a collective fund or another commingled vehicle, separately managed account, or managed account option.

The Investment Committee may select, add, substitute, or remove from time to time, in its sole discretion, the investment funds that constitute the Designated Investment Options in which contributions may be invested pursuant to the member’s investment directions.  Members who have not provided an investment direction to the Plan Administrator for any reason, shall have their Accounts invested as determined by the Plan Administrator in a “Default Investment Fund.” The Default investment Fund is intended to be a Qualified Default Investment Alternative as that term is defined in regulations issued pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  The Plan Administrator may prescribe procedures (including any rules, restrictions, or requirements) for investment directions and changes to investment directions by members from time to time in its sole discretion.  To the extent the Plan Administrator procedures provide, members shall provide investment directions to the administrative delegate and the administrative delegate shall carry out such direction without obtaining prior confirmation or authorization from the Plan Administrator.

18

Subject to such procedures as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion from time to time, an investment direction will be given effect as soon as is administratively practicable after receipt of the member’s investment direction.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Plan Administrator may, at its own discretion, impose any rules, restrictions, and requirements regarding the members’ investment directions and changes in their investment directions.  The Plan Administrator may decline to implement a member’s investment direction, or may override an existing investment direction, where it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including without limitation in circumstances where following (or continuing to follow) an investment direction (i) would result in a prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Code Section 4975, (ii) would generate taxable income to the Plan, or (iii) result in violations of market timing or frequent trading rules imposed by any manager or other provider of an active investment option.
All investment elections made by a member will apply to all accounts (except Rollover Contributions and Roth In-Plan conversions) a member contributes to and will also apply to Matching Contributions.
All dividends and interest will be directed to the option that generated such dividend and interest even if the member is no longer contributing to that option except that frozen MOC stock dividends will be reinvested according to the investment election applicable to new contributions in force at the time such dividend becomes payable.
The Plan Administrator intends for the active investment options to qualify as participant-controlled accounts under Section 404(c) of ERISA. 
ARTICLE IX.    TRANSFERS
Subject to such procedures as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion from time to time, a member may at any time direct the Trustee to sell any or all of the assets in the member’s account(s) in whole percentages, units, or dollar increments and at the same time inform the Trustee how to distribute the proceeds of such sale into investment options.

19

The member may direct the Trustee to execute investment transfers at a frequency no greater than the periodicity of transfers limit formally approved by the Plan Administrator.  When the member directs the Trustee to buy or sell investments, the member will receive or pay the unit or share price when executed.
ARTICLE X.    STOCK OPTIONS, RIGHTS OR WARRANTS
If any options, rights, or warrants are granted or issued with respect to shares of stock, the Trustee shall give the members for whom the stock is held a reasonable opportunity after notice to direct the Trustee to exercise the options, rights, or warrants.  If no instructions are received from the member, the Trustee may sell the option, right, or warrant, or take such other action as the Trustee may deem necessary.
For an Active Member, any proceeds shall be credited to the member’s account(s) in the same manner as current contributions unless elected otherwise.
For all other members, any proceeds will be invested in the active investment option(s) to which their most recent contributions were directed, unless elected otherwise.
ARTICLE XI.    VESTING
		
	11.01
	General

A member is fully and immediately vested in their member contributions (including Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Roth Deferral Contributions).  A member is fully and immediately vested in all of the Matching Contributions made to the Plan, including earnings on such contributions, with respect to periods on or after January 1, 2016.
A member shall acquire a fully vested, nonforfeitable right to the Matching Contributions made to the Plan, including earnings on such contributions, with respect to periods prior to January 1, 2016 upon the earliest of the following:
		
	A.
	The member has performed an hour of service on or after January 1, 2002, and has completed three (3) years of service;

		
	B.
	The member has attained the Plan’s normal retirement age (age 65);

20

		
	C.
	The member has retired under the Marathon Petroleum Retirement Plan as then in effect;

		
	D.
	The death of an Active Member or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense; or

		
	E.
	The termination or partial termination of the Plan.

		
	F.
	The member is Disabled (as defined in Section 13.04) at any time on or after January 1, 2016.

		
	11.02
	Vesting Service

“Service,” for the purposes of this Article XI, means the length of time in months during which: (1) a member either receives or is entitled to receive pay from a Participating Employer or a member of the Controlled Group; (2) a member is laid off (if such lay off is for less than 12 consecutive months) or on approved leave status with a member of the Controlled Group; (3) a member was a “leased employee” as defined in Code Section 414(n) for a Participating Employer or a member of the Controlled Group.  A member shall be credited with a year of service if the member is compensated or entitled to pay by a Participating Employer or a member of the Controlled Group for 1,000 hours in a Service Year, as defined in Section 2.02B.
		
	11.03
	Equivalency Rules

For purposes of the 1,000-hour test, the Plan provides as follows, strictly for the purpose of processing work hours for Plan vesting, use of the equivalency rule:
The equivalency rule shall be: 45 hours for a weekly payroll, and 90 hours for a biweekly payroll.  All work hours shall be associated with the month of the pay period begin date.
For a non-exempt employee, when payroll wages and hours are received and the employee is not on a leave, actual hours shall be used.  If a non-exempt employee is on an accepted leave status covered under the terms of the Plan, their hours are determined by the equivalency rule.

21

For an exempt employee, if the employee receives any payroll wages, their hours are determined by the equivalency rule.  If the employee is on an accepted leave status covered under the terms of the Plan, their hours are determined by the equivalency rule.
		
	11.04
	Service With Other Employers

If a former employee of a Participating Employer is hired (for reasons other than a transfer) by a non-Participating Employer of the Controlled Group, or a former employee of a member of the Controlled Group is hired (for reasons other than a transfer) by a Participating Employer, service with members of the Controlled Group shall be recognized for purposes of computing vesting service under the Plan provided that such vesting service is attributable to time while the employer(s) was a member of the Controlled Group.
If a former member or Retired Member is subsequently reemployed by the Company or a Participating Employer, all prior service which has been credited for vesting purposes hereunder shall be reinstated.
Members who were employed by an employer at the time such employer was acquired by a member of the Controlled Group may, with the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (“Board”) or any committee to which the Board has specifically delegated sufficient authority, be entitled to additional vesting service based on employment with the acquired employer.  Appendix C outlines the additional vesting service that has been approved.
ARTICLE XII.    CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS
		
	12.01
	Vesting on Change of Control

Employees who are terminated within 24 months of a Change of Control (defined below) will become immediately vested in the accounts under the Plan.
		
	12.02
	Definition of Change of Control

For purposes of the Plan the following shall apply:
		
	A.
	For purposes of this Article XII, a “Change in Control” shall mean a change in control of the Corporation of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to 

22

Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
		
	(i)
	any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (a “Person”) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any such securities acquired directly from the Corporation or its affiliates) representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Plan the term “Person” shall not include (a) the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (b) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (c) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (d) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Corporation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Corporation; and provided, further, however, that for purposes of this paragraph (i), there shall be excluded any Person who becomes such a beneficial owner in connection with an Excluded Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii) below); or

		
	(ii)
	the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Corporation) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or 

23

whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or
		
	(iii)
	there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation (an “Excluded Transaction”) which would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving corporation or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the entity surviving the merger or consolidation (or the parent of such surviving entity) immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation or there is consummated the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

The provisions of this Article XII shall apply only to employees classified by a Participating Employer as non-officer regular employees. A regular employee is an employee who is employed to work on a full-time or part-time basis and not on a time, special job completion, or call-when-needed basis, and who has been classified by a Participating Employer as a regular employee.  Employees classified by a Participating Employer as “casual employees” are not subject to the provisions of this Article XII. A casual employee is an employee who is employed to work on a time, special job completion, call-when-needed basis, or is classified as a student worker, and who has been classified by a Participating Employer as a casual employee.  
ARTICLE XIII.    IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS

24

they retire.  Eligible Active Members presently over age 701⁄2 and receiving distributions under the Plan may elect to suspend such payments until they actually retire.
Active Members who are 5% owners of an employer within the Controlled Group, determined pursuant to Code Section 416(i), may elect to defer commencement of benefits until no later than the April 1 immediately following the calendar year in which such members attain age 701⁄2.

A participant who receives a distribution of elective deferrals from another 401(k) plan maintained by a member of the Controlled Group on account of financial hardship shall be prohibited from making elective deferrals and employee contributions under this and all other plans of members of the Controlled Group for six (6) months after receipt of the distribution.
		
	13.02
	In-Service Withdrawal of a Portion of Thrift Balance

Payments may be made from the Plan to an Active Member or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense as an “In-Service Withdrawal” under the terms of this Article XIII of the Plan.

	13.04
	In-Service Withdrawal of Entire Distributable Vested Thrift Balance

26

Subject to the conditions under this Section 13.04, an Active Member or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense may request an In-Service Withdrawal of their entire distributable vested Plan balance.  The amount available for withdrawal depends on the member’s age, disability status, vested status, and employment date as follows:
		
	A.
	Fully Vested Members.  A fully vested member who has not attained age 591⁄2 will receive the value of their After-Tax Account, Rollover Account, Roth Rollover Account, and Company Matching Account.  A fully vested member who has attained age 591⁄2 or who is disabled (as defined below) will receive the value of their above mentioned accounts plus the value of their Pre-Tax Account, Pre‐Tax Catch-Up Contribution Account, Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account, Roth Deferral Contribution Account, and Roth Catch-Up Contribution Account, as well as the value of their Roth In Plan Conversion Account.

		
	B.
	Non-fully Vested Members.  A non-fully vested member who has not attained age 591⁄2 and who is not disabled will receive the value of their After-Tax Account, Rollover Account, and any vested portion of their Company Matching Account, excluding their Roth Rollover Account. A non-fully vested member who has attained age 591⁄2 or who is disabled will also receive the value of their Pre-Tax Account, Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contribution Account, Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account, Roth Rollover Account, Roth Deferral Contribution Account, Roth In Plan Conversation Account, and Roth Catch-Up Account. 

For purposes of this Plan, members will be considered “Disabled” if either:
		
	1.
	they have been disabled for at least two (2) years, and are wholly and continuously disabled to the extent that they are unable to engage in any occupation or perform any work for gainful compensation or profit for which they are, or may become, reasonably qualified by education, training, or experience, all as determined by the Marathon Petroleum Long Term Disability Plan, or

		
	2.
	they provide proof of a Social Security determination of disability.

27

		
	13.05
	Distributions due to Military Service

A member shall be deemed as severed from employment for purposes of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) during any period when the member is performing service in the uniformed service while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days, as described in Code Section 3401(h)(2)(A).  However, a member who obtains a distribution by reason of service in the uniformed service for more than 30 days may not make any elective deferrals or employee contributions to the Plan during the six-month period beginning on the date of such distribution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a member who is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of title 37), and who was ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period may request, during the period beginning on the date of the order or call to duty and ending at the close of the active duty period, a distribution of all or part of his or her elective deferrals. The distribution shall be paid to the member as promptly as practicable after the Administrator (or its delegate) receives the member’s request.
ARTICLE XIV.    WITHDRAWALS AFTER SEPARATION FROM SERVICE
		
	14.01
	General

Any nonvested Matching Contributions held in the Company Matching Account are forfeited on the earlier of a complete distribution or five (5) years after the date when a member is no longer an Active Member or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense.  Vested members are entitled to receive their entire vested balance in all accounts when the member is no longer an Active Member or a Member with Account(s) in Suspense.
		
	14.02
	Deferral of Commencement of Benefits

The following members may elect to defer the commencement of benefits until no later than the April 1 immediately following the calendar year in which such members attain age 701⁄2:
		
	A.
	Retired Members with a vested Plan balance in excess of $5,000,

		
	B.
	Members with Account(s) in Suspense; 

28

		
	C.
	Non-employee Members (other than Non-employee Members with a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less, Beneficiary Members, and Spouse Beneficiary Members with a vested Plan balance in excess of $5,000).

Spouse Beneficiary Members with a Plan balance in excess of $5,000 may maintain an open Plan Account(s) for their lifetime, subject to the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9).  Spouse Beneficiary Members with a Plan balance of $5,000 or less must commence their final settlement no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during which they become a Spouse Beneficiary Member.  Beneficiary Members may maintain an open Account(s) until no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of the member’s death.
All other Non-employee Members (including Beneficiary Members) with a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less must commence their final settlement no later than 60 days from the date of becoming such members unless, in the case of an Alternate Payee Member, the distribution of any part of such Plan balance is then not permitted under Code Section 401(k).
However, the member or, if applicable, the beneficiary or beneficiaries may request earlier payment of benefits, in which case payment shall commence as soon as practicable after the member has filed a written notice of such election with the Plan Administrator.
Account balances attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto), are included in determining a member’s eligibility to receive a $5,000 de minimus distribution.  If the value of the member’s nonforfeitable account balance as so determined is $5,000 or less, the Plan shall immediately distribute the member’s entire nonforfeitable account balance, subject to the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(31)(B).
		
	14.03
	Withdrawal Rights After Separation from Service 

Withdrawal rights after separation from service are as follows:
		
	A.
	A Retired Member, Spouse Beneficiary Member, or Beneficiary Member may withdraw during any year all or any portion of the remaining balance in their account(s), provided that no withdrawal of less than $500 may be made unless it constitutes 

29

the entire remaining balance.  Such withdrawals, however, are limited to a maximum of four (4) in a Plan Year.  
		
	B.
	A Member with Account(s) in Suspense may take In-Service Withdrawals as provided under Article XIII of this Plan.

		
	C.
	Except as provided in Section 14.03A, a Non-employee Member may only make a withdrawal of his or her entire Plan balance; provided, however, that a Non-employee Member may also make a one-time withdrawal to pay off an outstanding Plan loan(s) without triggering the requirement to make a withdrawal of his or her entire Plan balance. 

		
	14.04
	Reinstatements

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, any nonvested amounts held in the Company Matching Account forfeited by a member’s termination of employment prior to vesting will be used to reduce the applicable Participating Employer’s subsequent Matching Contributions to the Plan; provided, however, that such amounts may not be used to fund amounts contributed to the Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account.  However, the amounts forfeited shall be reinstated if the member is rehired by a Participating Employer, and, within five (5) years after the date of rehire, repays an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the Matching Contributions and earnings thereon credited to their Company Matching Account for the last 24 months in which they contributed to the Plan, or (2) the amount of the Plan distribution received upon termination of employment.  The maximum an Active Member may repay is their After-Tax Contributions, and, if applicable, Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions, the total of which must not exceed the amount of their previous total distribution.  Reinstated contributions by an eligible rehired employee are deposited into the After-Tax Account (if attributable to pre-1987 tax-paid employee contributions in the After-Tax Account, such contributions are credited to the pre-1987 subaccount).  In any case, the rehired employee shall have reinstated towards vesting the total number of months for which contributions were matched prior to the member’s complete distribution.

30

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Deferred Member who is reemployed by a Participating Employer or any member of the Controlled Group will have nonvested forfeited Matching Contributions automatically reinstated into the Company Matching Account as of the date of reemployment provided that such reemployment date occurs within five (5) years of the date of such member’s last termination of employment from an employer within the Controlled Group.  All automatic reinstatements will be invested in accordance with the member’s direction.  A Deferred Member who is reemployed by a Participating Employer or any member of the Controlled Group will have reinstated towards vesting the total number of months recognized for vesting under Article XI immediately prior to such member’s last termination of employment from an employer within the Controlled Group.
Rollover Contributions or Direct Plan Transfer Contributions may be recognized as contributions for purposes of satisfying the reinstatement provisions, provided such contributions are made within five (5) years after the date of last termination from a member of the Controlled Group.
		
	14.05
	Re-Entry into Plan 

A former member who is rehired is eligible to become a member of the Plan immediately so long as they meet the eligibility provisions of the Plan.    
ARTICLE XV.    SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
		
	15.01
	General

Unless a member elects otherwise and except as provided below, distribution of his or her account(s) will be made in a single sum payment, in either cash or in securities.  
A member’s elective deferrals and earnings attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the member’s severance from employment, regardless of when the severance from employment occurred.  However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article XV, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the 

31

manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

Eligible rollover distribution:  An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).  A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.  However, such portion may be transferred only (1) to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b), or (2) to a qualified plan described in Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a) or (3) to a plan described in Code Section 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution.
An eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) and an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into 

32

such plan from this plan.  An eligible retirement plan shall also mean a Roth individual retirement account under Code Section 408A(b).  The applicable definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). In the case of a non-spouse beneficiary, a direct rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Sections 408(a) or 408(b) that is established on behalf of the designated beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 402(c)(11).  
Distributee:  A distributee includes an employee or former employee.  In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. A distributee also includes a non-spouse beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary under the Plan. 
Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
		
	15.03
	Installment Option

Retired Members of any age and Spouse Beneficiary Members may elect the Installment Option.  Under the Installment Option, members may elect annual, or semi-annual, installments to be paid in cash and/or securities. Monthly installments may also be elected, but they will be paid only in cash. After benefits commence under the Installment Option, the member may elect to discontinue receiving further installments at any time.  A Retired Member and a Spouse Beneficiary Member may be permitted to take a Retired Member withdrawal during the payout period of the Installment Option.  If a member dies during the payout period under the Installment Option, the installment payments will cease and any further benefits with respect to the member’s account(s) will be payable pursuant to the provisions of Article XVI.  
Any new installment elections or changes to current elections result in proceeds being redeemed in the order described in Section 13.03, with the type of account taking precedence 

33

over the type of investment. For minimum required distribution withdrawals for retirees, the required withdrawals will also be distributed in the order defined by the Plan default.  
		
	15.04
	Small Cash-Outs

The Plan balance of members, other than Active Members and Members with Account(s) in Suspense, will be distributed to such members in the form of a lump sum in cash without their consent if their Plan balance is less than or equal to $5,000, determined immediately after the forfeiture of any nonvested Matching Contributions.  Account balances attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto), are included in determining a participant’s eligibility to receive the small cash-out under this Section 15.04.
In the event of a small cash-out under this Section 15.04 in which the Plan balance is greater than $1,000, if the member does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(31)(B), then the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Plan Administrator.
ARTICLE XVI.    BENEFICIARY
Each member shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries, subject to any requirements established by the Plan Administrator, and may change this designation at any time. Any change to a member’s beneficiary designation revokes all prior beneficiary designations made by the member.
If a married member has a beneficiary designation which results in the member’s spouse not being the member’s sole beneficiary, such designation must be consented to by the spouse in writing on forms approved by the Plan Administrator and witnessed by a notary public.
The Plan shall only recognize beneficiary designations submitted to the Plan on forms approved by the Plan Administrator.  Any beneficiary designation shall be effective only after it is received and accepted by the Plan Administrator, and the Plan’s procedure for determining a beneficiary shall be controlling over any disposition by will or otherwise.

34

In the event a beneficiary designation is not completed for a member who transferred to this Plan from the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan on July 1, 2011, the default is to apply the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan designation in effect on July 1, 2011.  For Delayed Transfer Employees (as defined in Appendix A), the beneficiary designation will default to the Marathon Oil Company Thrift Plan designation in effect on the date of transfer.
Subject to Section 15.04 of this Plan, a beneficiary, in the event of the member’s death, may receive funds from the Plan in cash and/or securities commencing pursuant to the terms of Article XIV.
If settlement of the member’s Account(s) pursuant to Article XV of the Plan has commenced before the member’s death, the remaining balance of the member’s benefit will be distributed to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries at least as rapidly as required under Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder.
If a member dies on or after January 1, 2007 while performing qualified military service, that Member will be deemed to have resumed employment with the Participating Employer in accordance with the individual’s reemployment rights under USERRA on the day preceding death and will be deemed to have terminated employment on the actual date of death.  The term “qualified military service” means military service as used in Code Section 414(u)(1).  
If a member dies without a valid beneficiary designation, the member’s account(s) will be paid to the person or persons comprising the first surviving class of the classes listed in order below and such person or persons will receive the funds in a single sum.  The eligible classes are set forth below:
		
	A.
	The member’s surviving spouse;

		
	B.
	The member’s surviving children (either natural born or adopted through a final adoption order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the member’s death) but specifically excluding step-children;

		
	C.
	The member’s surviving parents;

		
	D.
	The member’s surviving brothers and sisters;

35

		
	E.
	The executor or administrator of the member’s estate.

ARTICLE XVII    LOANS AND ASSIGNABILITY
Except as specifically provided herein, no right or interest of any member in the Plan or in their account(s) shall be assignable or transferable in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy unless otherwise required by the Code or the regulations thereunder, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy, or in any other manner, and no right or interest of any member in the Plan or in their account(s) shall be liable for, or subject to any obligation or liability of such member; and the Trustee shall not loan any funds or securities of this Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall: (1) authorize the assignment and distribution of all or a portion of a member’s account(s) in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as defined in Code Section 414(p), (2) establish procedures for the review of domestic relations orders and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders, and (3) establish a loan policy whereby, upon proper application by a member, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to make loans to members, provided that such loans:
		
	A.
	Are made available to all Plan members, other than Non-employee Members who are not parties in interest (to the extent permitted by ERISA or applicable Department of Labor regulations), on a uniform, nondiscriminatory basis,

		
	B.
	Bear a reasonable rate of interest; and

		
	C.
	Are adequately secured.

Each loan shall be evidenced by a member’s promissory note for the amount of the loan including interest, payable to the order of the Trustee, and secured by collateral consisting of the assignment of the member’s account(s) as provided in the loan rules.
All loans granted hereunder shall be subject to the application of the rules established by the Plan Administrator including, but not limited to, provisions relating to the application, repayment and renewal thereof.  The Plan Administrator is specifically authorized to amend such rules from time to time.  Further, to the extent that such rules conflict with any other portion of the Plan, such rules shall control.

36

Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4).
ARTICLE XVIII.    TRUSTEE
The Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) have entered into a Trust Agreement pursuant to which Fidelity is to act as Trustee under this Plan.  The Company may, from time to time, enter into further agreements with the Trustee or other parties, and make amendments to the Trust Agreement or further agreements as it may deem necessary or desirable to carry out the Plan.  The Company may also designate additional or successor trustees.  The Trustee shall have the voting rights with respect to all shares held pursuant to this Plan, and may vote the shares itself or by proxy to the extent permitted by law.  The Trustee, itself or by proxy, shall, however, vote shares of common stock of the Corporation and MOC in accordance with the directions, if any, of the members for whom the stock is held.
The Trustee may purchase common stock of the Corporation on the open market or directly from the Corporation, out of authorized and unissued shares or Treasury shares at the current market price thereof.  The Trustee may sell the common stock of the Corporation on the open market or directly to the Corporation, at the current market price thereof.
The Trustee shall be the named fiduciary with respect to the control or management of the assets of the Plan.  The Trustee may appoint an investment manager for purposes of the management of all or a portion of the trust assets.  An investment manager who is appointed by the Trustee must evidence to the Trustee that it satisfies the eligibility requirements to be an investment manager under ERISA, must accept the appointment in writing, and must acknowledge, in writing, that it is a fiduciary with respect to the Plan.  The Trustee may also remove an investment manager who was previously appointed.
ARTICLE XIX.    PLAN YEAR
For the purpose of this Plan, a Plan Year shall be defined as the period from January 1 of any calendar year through December 31 of the same year.
ARTICLE XX.    CLAIMS PROCEDURES

37

Any claim for benefits under the Plan shall be made in writing, identified as a claim for benefits, and filed with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may treat any writing or other communication received by the Plan Administrator as a claim for benefits under these procedures, even if the writing or communication is not identified as a claim for benefits.   Written notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 60 days after the claim is filed, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require such extension.  In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, the specific reasons for the denial shall be  set forth in writing, and:
		
	A.
	pertinent provisions of the Plan shall be cited;

		
	B.
	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, if possible, and an explanation of why that material or information is needed; and

		
	C.
	an explanation as to how the claimant can request a review of the claim will be given, along with an explanation of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

Upon denial of a claim in whole or in part, a claimant (or the claimant’s authorized representative) shall have the right to submit a written request to the Plan Administrator, for a full and fair review of the denied claim, and shall have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing.  The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.  A request for review of a claim must be submitted within 65 days of receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim.  If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 65 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed permanently waived and abandoned, and the claimant will be precluded from reasserting it.  If the claimant does file a request for review, the claimant’s request shall include a description of the issues and evidence the claimant 

38

deems relevant.  Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim. A decision shall be rendered no more than 60 days after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension.  If an extension of time is required, written notice of the expected decision date and the reasons for the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period. In the event the appeal is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall provide a prompt written decision setting forth:
		
	A.
	the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;

		
	B.
	a reference to specific Plan provisions on which the adverse determination was made;

		
	C.
	a statement that claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and

		
	D.
	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

To the extent of its responsibility to review the denial of benefit claims, the Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and apply in its sole discretion the provisions of the Plan. The decision of the Plan Administrator on appeal shall be final and binding upon any and all claimants, including, but not limited to, members and beneficiaries, and any other individuals making a claim through or under them.
Claimants must follow the claims procedures described by this Article XX before taking action in any other forum regarding a claim for benefits under the Plan. Any suit or legal action initiated by a claimant under the Plan must be brought by the claimant no later than one year following a final decision on the claim for benefits under these claim procedures. The one-year statute of limitations on suits for benefits shall apply in any forum where a claimant initiates such suite or legal action. If a civil action is not filed within this period, 

39

the claimant’s benefit claim will be deemed permanently waived and abandoned, and the claimant will be precluded from reasserting it. 
The Plan Administrator in its sole discretion may from time to time delegate such of its power and authority under the provisions of this Article XX to such person(s) as it deems appropriate for the orderly administration and determination of claims.  Such delegation may include, without limitation, the Plan Administrator’s power and authority to decide a claim or to review and decide an appealed claim.  Upon any such delegation, the delegee(s) shall have, to the extent of the delegation, the full power, authority and discretion of the Plan Administrator with respect to the affected claim(s).
ARTICLE XXI.    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
		
	21.01
	Plan Administrator

The Corporation’s Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services shall serve as Plan Administrator.  The Company shall appoint such assistant administrators as may be deemed necessary.  The Plan Administrator shall be the named fiduciary under the Plan for all purposes other than for purposes of the control or management of the assets of the Plan.
		
	21.02
	Duties of Plan Administrator 

The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the administration and interpretation of the Plan.  The Plan intends to meet the requirements of ERISA Section 404(c) and its regulations.  Under these rules, the Plan fiduciaries may be relieved of liability for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a member or beneficiary.  In determining the eligibility of members and other individuals for benefits and in construing the Plan’s terms, the Plan Administrator has the power to exercise its discretion in the construction of doubtful, disputed, or ambiguous terms or provisions of the Plan, in cases where the Plan terms are silent, or in the application of Plan terms or provisions to situations not clearly or specifically addressed in the Plan itself.  In situations in which the Plan Administrator deems it to be appropriate, the Plan Administrator may evidence (i) the exercise of such discretion, or (ii) any other type of decision, directive, or determination 

40

they may make with respect to the Plan, in the form of a written administrative ruling which, until revoked, or until superseded by plan amendment or by a different administrative ruling or a different administration of the ruling, shall thereafter be followed in the administration of the Plan.
		
	21.03
	Delegation of Duties

The Trustee and the Company may, by agreement in writing, arrange for a delegation by the Trustee to the Plan Administrator of any of the Trustee’s functions, except the custody of assets and discretion to manage and control the assets, the voting with respect to shares held by the Trustee, and the purchase, sale, or redemption of securities.
The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, delegate to any assistant plan administrator appointed pursuant to this Article XXI the authority to exercise any or all of the foregoing powers and such others as the Plan Administrator deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Plan.
		
	21.04
	Investment Committee

With respect to investment matters, an Investment Committee shall meet, from time to time, but in no event less frequently than annually, and shall be responsible (i) for reviewing and monitoring the performance of any investment managers that have been appointed and in developing appropriate guidelines and investment strategies for such investment managers, and (ii) for carrying out the Plan’s investment policy, in selecting and reviewing appropriate investment options, and in addressing any related investment matters.  The Committee shall consist of the Plan Administrator, the Treasurer of the Company, and any other officers of the Company or the Corporation whom the Plan Administrator may appoint, from time to time, to serve upon the Committee.  The Plan Administrator is also authorized to obtain the services of legal counsel, outside consultants, and other appropriate persons, as they deem necessary or appropriate, to assist the Committee in performing its responsibilities.  Any fees, charges, and/or costs associated with the retention of such services shall be paid by the Company.
		
	21.05
	Records; Statements of Accounts

41

In the administration of the Plan, the Trustee or the Plan Administrator shall maintain individual ledger records on each member’s account(s).  Such records shall reflect a member’s account(s) as between employer and employee contributions on a continuous basis.
The records of the Trustee, the Plan Administrator, and the Company shall be conclusive in respect to all matters involved in the administration of this Plan except as otherwise provided herein or by law.
Any application to make member contributions, any election, any withdrawal request, or any other direction under the Plan by a member must be accepted on behalf of the Plan Administrator, before it shall be effective.
		
	21.06
	Costs, Expenses and Fees

All costs, expenses, and fees incurred in administering this Plan, to the extent not paid by the Company, shall be incurred by members.  Fees or charges for investment management services shall not be paid by the Company but shall be borne by the members electing such services.  Any taxes applicable to the member’s account(s) shall be charged or credited to the member’s account(s) by the Trustee.
		
	21.07
	Uniformity; Governing Law

Any discretionary acts taken under this Plan by the Plan Administrator, the Company, or the Trustee shall be uniform in their nature, shall be applicable to all members similarly situated, and shall be administered in a nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with the provisions of the Code and ERISA.  It is intended that the standard of judicial review applied to any determination made by the Plan Administrator shall be the “arbitrary and capricious” standard of review.
The Plan shall be construed, whenever possible, to be in conformity with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.  To the extent not in conflict with the preceding sentence and to the extent not preempted by ERISA, the construction of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator made on all matters within the scope of their authority shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the 

42

Company; any trustee, all members and beneficiaries; their heirs and personal representatives, and all labor unions or other similar organizations representing members.
ARTICLE XXII.    PARTICIPATION BY OTHER EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES
Upon specific authorization by the Board and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may establish, the Company may permit other members of the Controlled Group to participate in this Plan.  The terms “employer,” “employee” and words of similar import as used in this Plan shall be deemed to include the Company and such members of its Controlled Group, unless otherwise provided.
ARTICLE XXIII.    TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS
If the Plan is or becomes “top-heavy” as such term is defined in Code Section 416(g) in any Plan Year, the provisions of Appendix B will supersede any conflicting provision of this Plan.
ARTICLE XXIV.    MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
		
	24.01
	General

The right is reserved by the Company to terminate this Plan at any time in its entirety or as to any Participating Employer, or to modify the Plan, either prospectively or retroactively, from time to time by action of the Board.
The Company may exercise its reserved rights of amendment, modification or termination (i) by written resolution by the Board, or a separate written document approved by action of the Board, (ii) by the General Partner of the Company, (iii) by written resolution by the Executive Committee of the Board, or a separate written document approved by action of the Executive Committee, (iv) by written actions exercised by any other committee or individual to which the Board or the Executive Committee of that Board has specifically delegated rights of amendment, modification or termination, or (v) by written actions exercised by any other entity or person to which or to whom the Board or the Executive Committee of that Board has specifically delegated rights of amendment, modification or termination.
		
	24.02
	Amendment by Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services

43

In addition to the other methods of amending the Plan which have been authorized, or may in the future be authorized, by the Board, the Corporation’s Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services may approve the following types of amendments to the Plan:
		
	(i)
	With the opinion of counsel, technical amendments required by applicable laws and regulations;

		
	(ii)
	With the opinion of counsel, amendments that are clarifications of plan provisions;

		
	(iii)
	Amendments in connection with a signed definitive agreement governing a merger, acquisition or divestiture such that, for the Plan, needed changes are specifically described in the definitive agreement, or if not specifically described in the definitive agreement, the needed changes are in keeping with the intent of the definitive agreement;

		
	(iv)
	Amendments in connection with changes that have a minimal cost impact (as defined below) to the Company; and

		
	(v)
	With the opinion of counsel, amendments in connection with changes resulting from state or federal legislative actions that have a minimal cost impact (as defined below) to the Company.

	24.03
	Amendment by Plan Administrator

	24.04
	Plan Termination

44

Upon termination of this Plan in its entirety or as to any Participating Employer, or upon the complete discontinuance of employer contributions hereto, each member affected shall have a fully vested, nonforfeitable right to receive their Plan balance hereunder, including all employer contributions made thereto at such time as permitted by law.
		
	24.05
	Retroactive Modification

The Company may modify this Plan in whole or in part, with effect retroactively, in order to preserve its qualification, either alone or in conjunction with other plans of the Company, under the Code or to comply with ERISA and applicable state or federal regulations.  The Company may also modify this Plan in whole or in part with effect retroactively for any other reason, to the extent permitted by the Code, ERISA, and other applicable laws.  
		
	24.06
	Merger

This Plan may not merge or consolidate with, or transfer its assets or liabilities to, any other plan unless each member in the Plan would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after such merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit they would have been entitled to receive immediately before such merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had been terminated).
		
	24.07
	Change in Plan Sponsorship

In accordance with the exclusive benefit rule of Code Section 401(a), the sponsorship of this Plan may not be transferred from the Company to an unrelated taxpayer unless the transfer is in connection with a transfer of business assets, operations or employees from the Company to the unrelated taxpayer.

APPENDIX A:  SERVICE CREDIT FOR FORMER AFFILIATED COMPANIES
1. The Plan will recognize a new hire’s previous Speedway LLC vesting service back to January 1, 1998, for purposes of eligibility and vesting.
2. For new hires with service with an employer of the Controlled Group, other than described above, vesting service will be recognized for eligibility and vesting as presently defined in the Plan.  Service with an employer in the MOC controlled group, through July 1, 2011 will count for vesting and eligibility under the Plan for hires to the Company from the MOC controlled group on July 1, 2011.  Except with respect to Delayed Transfer Employees, as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement, service with an employer in the MOC controlled group after July 1, 2011 will not count for vesting and eligibility under the Plan.  Service of Delayed Transfer Employees, as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement, with the MOC controlled group through their date of transfer will count for vesting and eligibility under the Plan.
3. For any new hires (non-transferees) to any Participating Employer with previous employment with USX Corporation (“USX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, their service between March 11, 1982 and the December 31, 2001 effective date of the United States Steel Corporation (“U.S. Steel”) spin-off from USX will count for vesting and eligibility purposes.  For these non-transferees, service with U.S. Steel on or after the December 31, 2001 effective date of the spin-off will not count for vesting and eligibility purposes under the Plan.

APPENDIX B:  TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS
		
	Section 1.
	  Application of Top-Heavy Provisions

This Appendix B sets forth the provisions of Code Section 416 and should be interpreted to apply only in accordance with Code Section 416.  The provisions in this Appendix B shall take precedence over any other provisions in the Plan with which they conflict.
		
	Section 2.
	  Definitions

For purposes of this Appendix B, the following words and terms shall have the meanings indicated:
		
	A.
	“Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of the Employer having annual Gross Pay greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having annual Gross Pay of more than $150,000.  The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the applicable Treasury Regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

		
	B.
	“Top-Heavy Plan” means a plan where any of the following conditions exist:

		
	1.
	The Top-Heavy Ratio for the plan exceeds 60% and the plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group;

		
	2.
	The plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of plans but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the group of plans exceeds 60%;

1

		
	3.
	The plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.

		
	C.
	“Top-Heavy Ratio” means

		
	1.
	If the Employer maintains one or more defined contributions plans (including any simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required or Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the value of all defined contribution plan account balances maintained on behalf of a Key Employee as of the Determination Date (including any part of the account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the Determination Date) (five-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability), and the denominator of which is the sum of all defined contribution plan account balances (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the Determination Date) (five-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability), both computed in accordance with Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  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 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

		
	2.
	If the 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 five-year period ending on the Determination Date 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 all defined contribution plan account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with the paragraph above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date, and the denominator of which is the sum of all defined contribution account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance with the above paragraph, and the present value of accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan or plans for all members as of the Determination Date, all determined in accordance with Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  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 (five-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability).  
		
	3.
	For purposes of the above paragraphs, the value of a member’s account balance and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code Section 416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder 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-

3

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 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  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 member other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (i) a method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (ii) 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).
		
	D.
	“Permissive Aggregation Group” means a Required Aggregation Group plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a group with the Required Aggregation Group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

		
	E.
	“Required Aggregation Group” means a group consisting of (1) each qualified plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participated at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether the plan has terminated), and (2) any other qualified plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in (1) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

		
	F.
	“Determination Date” means the last day of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year for which top-heaviness is to be determined or, in the case of the first Plan Year of a new plan; the last day of such Plan Year.

4

		
	Section 3.
	  Accelerated Vesting

In the event the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the vesting schedule of Section 11.01 shall continue to apply.
		
	Section 4.
	  Minimum Contribution

For any Plan Year in which this Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan, a minimum contribution shall be made to the account of each non-Key Employee who participates in the Plan.  For the purpose of this Section, the minimum employer contribution shall be equal to the lesser of (a) 3% of such non-Key Employee’s Gross Pay, or (b) the largest percentage of such Gross Pay provided for a Key Employee during the Plan Year.  For purposes of this Section, elective deferrals of Key Employees shall be treated as Employer contributions, and Gross Pay will be defined in the same way as to apply the limit in Section 7.01(b).  In determining the amount of Employer contributions which are needed to satisfy the requirements of this Section, employee deferrals for non-Key Employees shall not be taken into account.  Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section, a minimum contribution shall not be made to any employee to the extent the employee is covered under any other plan of the Employer and the Employer has provided that the minimum allocation or benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy Plans shall be met in the other plan or plans.
		
	Section 5.
	  Coordination With Other Plans

If a non-Key Employee participates in this Plan and a defined benefit plan which is part of the Required or Permissive Aggregation Group that is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the defined benefit and defined contribution minimums of Code Section 416(c) will be satisfied by providing each such employee with the defined benefit minimum established in Section 5.01 of Appendix A to the Marathon Petroleum Retirement Plan (RMT Sub-Plan).

APPENDIX D:  MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
Section 1.      General Rules
1.1    Effective Date.  The provisions of this Appendix will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.
1.2    Precedence.  The requirements of this Appendix will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the plan.
1.3    Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated.  All distributions required under this Appendix will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).
1.4    TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Appendix, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.
Section 2.      Time and Manner of Distribution
2.1    Required Beginning Date.  The participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the participant no later than the participant’s required beginning date.
2.2    Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin.  If the participant dies before distributions begin, the participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:
		
	(a)
	If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the participant would have attained age 701⁄2, if later.

1

		
	(b)
	If the participant’s surviving spouse is not the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the participant died.

		
	(c)
	If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the participant’s death, the participant’s entire interest will be distributed by the second anniversary of the participant’s death.

		
	(d)
	If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 2.2, other than Section 2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

For purposes of this Section 2.2 and Section 4, unless Section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the participant’s required beginning date.  If Section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a).  If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the participant before the participant’s required beginning date (or to the participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
2.3    Forms of Distribution.  Unless the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix.  If the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and Treasury Regulations.
Section 3.      Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime

2

3.1    Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year.  During the participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:
		
	(a)
	the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the participant’s age as of the participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

		
	(b)
	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 balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

3.2    Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death.  Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the participant’s date of death.
Section 4.      Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death
4.1    Death On or After Date Distributions Begin
		
	(a)
	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the participant or the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows:

3

		
	(1)
	The participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

		
	(2)
	If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year.  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 calendar year.

		
	(3)
	If the participant’s surviving spouse is not the participant’s sole designated beneficiary.  the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

		
	(b)
	No Designated Beneficiary.  If the participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

4.2    Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
		
	(a)
	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  Except as provided in the Plan, if the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by 

4

dividing the participant’s account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 4.1.
		
	(b)
	No Designated Beneficiary.  If the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the participant’s death, distribution of the participant’s entire interest will be completed by the second anniversary of the participant’s death.

		
	(c)
	Death of Surviving spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin.  If the participant dies before the date distributions begin, the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a), this Section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

Section 5.      Definitions
5.1    Designated beneficiary.  The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Article XVI of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-1, of the Treasury Regulations.
5.2    Distribution calendar year.  A calendar year for which minimum distribution is required.  For distributions beginning before the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the participant’s required beginning date.  For distributions beginning after the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 2.2.  The required minimum distribution for the participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the participant’s required beginning date.  The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

5

5.3    Life expectancy.  Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.
5.4    Participant’s account balance.  The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date.  The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.
5.5    Required beginning date.  April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the participant attains age 701⁄2 or (ii) the calendar year in which the participant retires; provided, however, that if the participant is a 5% owner of the business, the required beginning date is April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the participant attains age 701⁄2.
Section 6.  Exceptions to Distribution Requirements Described Elsewhere in Appendix D
6.1    Election to Apply 5-Year Rule to Distributions to Designated Non-Spouse Beneficiaries.  If the participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated non-spouse beneficiary, distribution to the designated non-spouse beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in Section 2.2 of this Appendix D, but the participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated non-spouse beneficiary by the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death.  If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant but before distributions to either the participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.
6.2    Participant Election to Receive Required Minimum Distribution for 2009.  Participants, alternate payees and beneficiaries who would otherwise receive a required minimum distribution under this Appendix have the right to elect to receive for 2009: (a) no distribution, (b) the amount which would, but for this paragraph, have been the required minimum distribution under the Plan for 2009 or (c) any other amount otherwise available under the Plan.  If the participant, alternate 

6

payee or beneficiary fails to make an election, then the Plan will make no distribution for 2009 to the participant, alternate payee or beneficiary. 

7

APPENDIX E:  RULES GOVERNING ROTH DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 1.      General Application
1.1    This article will apply to Roth Deferral Contributions.
1.2    The Plan will accept Roth Deferral Contributions made on behalf of members.  A member’s Roth Deferral Contributions will be allocated into a separate account maintained for such deferrals as described in section 2 (referred to in the Plan as the “Roth Deferral Contribution Account”).
1.3    Unless specifically stated otherwise, Roth Deferral Contributions will be treated as elective deferrals for all purposes under the Plan.
Section 2.      Separate Accounting
2.1    Contributions and withdrawals for Roth Deferral Contributions will be credited and debited to the Roth Deferral Contribution Account maintained for each member.
2.2    The Plan will maintain a record of the amount of Roth Deferral Contributions in each member’s account.
2.3    No contributions other than Roth Deferral Contributions and properly attributable earnings will be credited to each member’s Roth Deferral Contribution Account.
Section 3.      Direct Rollovers
3.1    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a direct rollover of a distribution from a Roth Deferral Contribution Account under the Plan will only be made to another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) or to a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c).
3.2    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan will accept a rollover contribution to a Roth Rollover Account only if it is a direct rollover from another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c).

1

3.3    The Plan will not provide for a direct rollover (including an automatic rollover) for distributions from a member’s Roth Deferral Contribution Account if the amount of the distributions that are eligible rollover distributions are reasonably expected to total less that $200 during a year.  Eligible rollover distributions from a member’s Roth Deferral Contribution Account are taken into account in determining whether the total amount of the member’s account balances under the Plan exceeds $1,000 for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan.
Section 4.      Definition
4.1    Roth Deferral Contributions.  A Roth Deferral Contribution is an elective deferral that is:
		
	(a)
	Designated irrevocably by the member at the time of the cash or deferred election as a Roth Deferral Contribution that is being made in lieu of all or a portion of the Pre-Tax Contributions the member is otherwise eligible to make under the Plan; and

		
	(b)
	Treated by the employer as includible in the member’s income at the time the member would have received that amount in cash if the member had not made a cash or deferred election.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE 
MARATHON PETROLEUM THRIFT PLAN

Pursuant to the powers of amendment reserved under Section 24.01 of the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan, restated effective January 1, 2016 (“Plan”), the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective as of January 1, 2016: 

FIRST AND ONLY CHANGE

The following paragraph is hereby inserted immediately before Article I:  
“The Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan (the “Marathon Plan”) was originally adopted by Marathon Petroleum Company LP effective July 1, 2011.  It has been amended and restated several times since then, most recently effective as of January 1, 2016.  Effective January 1, 2016, pursuant to an Instrument of Merger and Amendment between the Company and Speedway LLC (an affiliate of the Company), the Speedway Retirement Savings Plan (the “Speedway Plan”) was merged with and into the Marathon Plan to form a single plan (the “Merged Plan”).  The Merged Plan is hereby named the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan, and until otherwise amended, the provisions of the Merged Plan shall be maintained in two separate documents known as (a) the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan, the provisions of which are set forth in the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan, restated effective as of January 1, 2016 (the “Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan Document”), and (b) the Speedway Retirement Savings Plan, the provisions of which are set forth in the Speedway Retirement Savings Plan, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2016 (the “Speedway Retirement Savings Sub-Plan Document”).  The rights and benefits of the participants and beneficiaries under the Speedway Plan as in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on January 1, 2016 shall continue to be governed on and after January 1, 2016 by the provisions of the Speedway Retirement Savings Sub-Plan Document, as such document may be amended from time to time, and the rights and benefits of the participants and beneficiaries under the Marathon Plan, as in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on January 1, 2016, shall be governed by the provisions of  the Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan Document set forth herein and as may be amended from time to time.  Whenever the term “Plan” is used herein, it shall refer only to the Marathon  Petroleum Thrift Plan Document.”

The Marathon Petroleum Thrift Plan, as amended by the foregoing change, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer has caused this Amendment to be executed effective as of the date specified above.

 (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2016)

Speedway LLC (the “Company”) hereby amends and restates the Speedway Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) effective, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, January 1, 2016.  The Plan, originally effective January 1, 1993, has been amended and restated several times, most recently effective December 7, 2012, and has been further amended several times after the December 7, 2012 restatement.  The Company desires to amend the Plan to incorporate a safe harbor matching contribution, to change the eligibility for nonelective employer contributions, to make other nonsubstantive revisions, and to restate the Plan, as so amended, as an individually designed plan, all effective January 1, 2016.  

1

Such a designation may be made, revoked or changed only by an instrument (in form acceptable to the Administrator) which is signed by the Participant, which includes the Participant’s Spouse’s written consent to the action to be taken pursuant to such instrument (unless such action results in the Spouse being named as the Participant’s sole Beneficiary), and which is filed with the Administrator before the Participant’s death.  A Spouse’s consent required by this paragraph shall be signed by the Spouse, shall designate a Beneficiary (or a form of benefits) which may not be changed without spousal consent (unless the consent of the Spouse expressly permits designation by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Spouse), shall acknowledge the effect of such consent, shall be witnessed by a notary public and shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse.

4

(b)    The following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new directors (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Corporation) whose appointment or election by the board of the Corporation or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date

5

 hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or
(c)    There is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation (an “Excluded Transaction”) which would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving corporation or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the entity surviving the merger or consolidation (or the parent of such surviving entity) immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation, or there is consummated the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

Regardless of any provision in the Plan to the contrary, effective June 26, 2013 through September 15, 2013, the term “Spouse” will include the same-sex spouse of a married Participant only if the Participant was domiciled, at that time, in a state that recognized same-sex marriages.  Effective September 16, 2013, for Plan purposes, the term “Spouse” will include the same-sex spouse of a Participant whose marriage is validly entered into in a state whose laws authorize the marriage of two individuals of the same sex at that time, even if the individuals are domiciled in a state that does not recognize the validity of same-sex marriages.  Individuals, whether part of an opposite-sex or same-sex couple, who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship that is not denominated as marriage under the laws of that state, will not be treated as married under the Plan.  For this purpose, the term “state” means any domestic or foreign jurisdiction having the legal authority to sanction marriages.

(66)    Year of Vesting Service.  A 12-consecutive month vesting computation period during which the Employee completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service.

A Participant who has ceased to be an Eligible Employee but who subsequently is an Eligible Employee shall be considered to be eligible to participate in the Plan commencing on the date such Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee.
2.4    Veterans Reemployment.

23

ARTICLE III - PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS 
3.1    Pre-Tax Contributions; Roth Contributions.  Each Active Participant may elect to make Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan from 1% to 25% of the Participant’s Considered Compensation (in whole percentages only) to the Plan as Pre-Tax Basic Contributions and/or Roth Basic Contributions in lieu of an equal amount being paid to him as current Considered Compensation.  Pre-Tax Basic and/or Roth Basic Contributions are made through payroll deductions. 
3.2    After-Tax Contributions.  An Active Participant, other than a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee, may elect to make Contributions to the Plan on an after-tax basis, either in lieu of or in combination with Pre-Tax Basic Contributions and/or Roth Basic Contributions by authorizing After-Tax Contributions of from 1% to 18% (in whole percentages only) of the Participant’s Considered Compensation.  After-Tax Contributions are made through payroll deductions.  
3.3    Catch-Up Contributions. Active Participants who have elected to make Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Roth Contributions under this Plan who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions for such Plan Year in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v).  Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415.  
Active Participants may elect to make Catch-Up Contributions from 1% to 50% (in whole percentages only) of Considered Compensation.  Catch-Up Contributions shall be permitted only by Participants with respect to whom no Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Basic Contributions may be made to the Plan for that taxable year by reason of the application of the Code Section 402(g) limit, the limit in Section 3.1 or any other limitations on Pre-Tax

24

 Contributions or Roth Basic Contributions for that taxable year in accordance with, and subject to the limits of Code Section 414(v).  Participants must specify whether their Catch-Up Contributions will be Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions or Roth Catch-Up Contributions, and if the Participant does not designate whether the Catch-Up Contributions to be made are to be Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions or Roth Catch-Up Contributions, such contributions shall be deemed to be Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions.  Catch-Up Contributions may not exceed a maximum annual dollar limit pursuant to Code Section 414(v), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the law.  
3.4    Rollover Contributions and Plan to Plan Transfers.  
(1)    Active Participants, Participants with Account(s) in Suspense, and Retired Participants may make Rollover Contributions or Plan to Plan Transfers of qualified distributions from any tax-qualified plan or any individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii).  However, Roth Rollover Contributions will only be accepted from another tax-qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a).  The Plan will not accept Rollover Contributions or Plan to Plan Transfers from a Code Section 403(a) plan or a Roth  IRA.  For purposes of this Section 3.4, “tax-qualified plan” means:
(a)    A qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(b), including after-tax employee contributions held thereunder; and 
(b)    An eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
(2)    Deferred Participants and prior Deferred Participants may also make Rollover Contributions (but not Plan to Plan Transfers) from any of the above.  Individuals who

25

 are eligible to become Active Participants, but have elected not to contribute to the Plan or have previously elected to withdraw their entire account balance, are permitted to make Rollover Contributions to the Plan.  The Plan may also accept Rollover Contributions from prior Participants with Account(s) in Suspense and Retired Participants who previously received a distribution of their entire Account balance.  Subject to Administrator approval, Spouse Beneficiary Participants have the right to roll over distributions from qualified retirement plans sponsored by any employer whereby the Plan has recognized vesting time for prior service of the deceased Participant.  This right is limited solely to Spouse Beneficiary Participants to the extent such is permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
(3)    All such Rollover Contributions or Plan to Plan Transfers must consist of cash, unless the Administrator agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept any property other than cash.  The individual must submit written certification that the Rollover Contribution or Plan to Plan Transfer qualifies as a Rollover Contribution or Plan to Plan Transfer.  Rollover Contributions must be made within 60 days after the eligible individual has received the distribution from the applicable eligible retirement plan or IRA.
3.5    Roth In-Plan Conversion.  A Participant (including Spouse Beneficiary Participants and Alternate Payee Participants) may elect to convert all or a portion of his or her vested Accounts within the Plan that are eligible for distribution, and which  qualify as an Eligible Rollover Distribution, as defined in Section 8.5(3), to a Roth In-Plan Conversion within the Plan.  Amounts converted will be included in the Participant’s gross income to the extent they would be included in gross income if distributed in the year of conversion.  
3.6    Contribution Elections.  An Eligible Employee who becomes (or will become) a Participant under Section 2.2 may make an election in a manner prescribed by the

26

 Administrator in which he or she (i) designates the percentage of Considered Compensation to be contributed as Pre-Tax and/or Roth Basic Contributions, including whether any Catch-Up Contributions will be made, (ii) authorizes applicable payroll deductions and (iii) chooses one or more Investment Fund(s).  In the event that a Participant does not designate on his or her application whether the contributions elected to be made are Pre-Tax or Roth Basic Contributions, all contributions elected on such application shall be deemed to be Pre-Tax Basic Contributions. 
3.7    Change in Participant Contributions.  Subject to the provisions of this Article III, Active Participants may elect to change the percentages of their authorized payroll deductions and/or elect to automatically increase the percentage of their authorized payroll deductions by giving notice to the Administrator in such manner as the Administrator may prescribe.  Such changed percentage and/or automatic increase election shall become effective beginning with the first payroll period commencing after processing such notice or, if later, on a future date specified by the Participant and acceptable to the Administrator.  
3.8    Automatic Increase Program.  Active Participants may elect to enroll in a program that will automatically increase their rate of contributions on an annual basis.  A Participant choosing to participate in the program must elect an increase amount, in whole percentages of Considered Compensation only, and a date on which the increase is to be applied each Plan Year.  Subject to the Plan and statutory limits, the increase will be applied to the Participant’s election for Pre-Tax Basic Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions to the extent possible and then to the Participant’s election for After-Tax Contributions.  A Participant may elect to voluntarily terminate his or her participation in this program at any time.  Any election to

27

 voluntarily terminate participation in the program shall become effective as soon as administratively possible after the election has been properly made with the Administrator.
3.9    Restrictions on Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions.
(1)    In no event may the sum of Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Roth Contributions (but excluding any Catch-Up Contributions) exceed the applicable dollar limit as provided in Code Section 402(g) in a calendar year.  In the event the annual dollar limit provided in Code Section 402(g) is reached with respect to a Participant during a calendar year, no additional Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions, other than Catch-Up Contributions, shall be permitted to be made to the Plan on behalf of the Participant for the remainder of that calendar year.
(2)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Allocable Excess Contributions, and income allocable thereto to the end of the calendar year for which such Allocable Excess Contributions were made, shall be distributed no later than April 15 to Participants who claim Allocable Excess Contributions for the preceding calendar year.  “Allocable Excess Contributions” shall mean the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions (but excluding any Catch-Up Contributions) for a calendar year that the Participant allocates to this Plan that exceed the limits of Code Section 402(g).  In the event that a Participant’s Allocable Excess Contributions include both Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions, the Plan shall distribute Pre-Tax Contributions first.
(3)    Any Allocable Excess Contributions will first be transferred to the After-Tax Contribution Account, up to the limit, and subject to the eligibility conditions of Section 3.2, with any remaining balance distributed in accordance with this Section 3.9. The Allocable Excess Contributions distributed to a Participant with respect to a calendar year shall be adjusted for

28

 income allocable thereto to the end of the calendar year for which such Allocable Excess Contributions were made and, if there is a loss allocable to the Allocable Excess Contributions, shall in no event be less than the lesser of the Participant’s Accounts attributable to Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions under the Plan or the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions for the calendar year.
(4)    Employer Matching Contributions, if any, made with respect to such Allocable Excess Contributions distributed to a Participant pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be forfeited.

29

ARTICLE IV - EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1    Employer Matching Contributions.  The Employer shall contribute, for each pay period, an Employer Matching Contribution in the amount of one hundred seventeen percent (117%) of the amount of Pre-Tax Basic Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and/or Roth Basic Contributions made for each Active Participant that do not exceed six percent (6%) of such Participant’s Considered Compensation.  The Employer will true-up Employer Matching Contributions following the end of the Plan Year so that the amount of the Participant’s Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year equals the amount determined under the Matching Contribution formula provided in this Section 4.1 using the Participant’s Considered Compensation and eligible Contributions (including for this purpose Pre-Tax Catch Up Contributions and Roth Catch Up Contributions) for the Plan Year.  In no event will the Employer match Rollover Contributions, Plan to Plan Transfers or Roth In-Plan Conversions.
4.2    Non-Elective Employer Contributions.  
(1)    Initial Eligibility Requirements. To be initially eligible for the Non-Elective Employer Contribution, a Participant must satisfy the following conditions: 
(a)    The Participant has attained age 21; 
(b)    The Participant has completed 1,000 Hours of Service during an Eligibility Computation Period. For this  purpose, the initial Eligibility Computation Period will be the twelve (12) consecutive month period commencing on the date the Employee first performs an Hour of Service and ends on the first anniversary of that date.  Subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods for Employees shall mean the Plan Year, commencing with the Plan Year that includes such first anniversary. The determination of whether a Participant has completed 1,000 Hours of Service shall be made as of the last date of the Eligibility Computation Period, and a Participant will not be considered to

30

 have satisfied the Initial Eligibility Requirements until such last date of the Eligibility Computation Period.
(2)    Continuing Eligibility Requirements. Participants who have satisfied the Initial Eligibility Requirements in Section 4.2(1) shall receive a Non-Elective Employer Contribution for a Plan Year only if the Participant satisfies the Continuing Eligibility Requirements set forth in this Section 4.2(2) for such Plan Year: 
(a)    The Participant is classified by the Company as employed in an Eligible Position. An Eligible Position is a Speedway store employee other than a General Manager, Co-Manager, or Co-Manager Trainee during the Plan Year;
(b)    The Participant was credited with at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year; 
(c)    The Participant was employed by a Controlled Group Member on the last day of the Plan Year.
(3)    Exception to Continuing Eligibility Requirement. The requirements of paragraphs 4.2(2)(b) or (c) shall not apply for a Plan Year to Participants who become Disabled, terminate employment after attaining age 65 or after attaining age 50 with 10 Years of Vesting Service, or die during such Plan Year.
(4)    Non-Elective Employer Contribution.  On behalf of each Participant who satisfies the Initial Eligibility Requirements (as determined under Section 4.2(1)) and the Continuing Eligibility Requirements for the Plan Year (as determined under Section 4.2(2), as modified by Section 4.2(3)), the Employer shall contribute an amount equal to three and one-half percent (3.5%) of a Participant’s Considered Compensation received during the Plan Year; provided, however, that the Non-Elective Employer Contribution shall be based only on

31

 Considered Compensation paid to the Participant (i) after the date on which the Participant satisfies the Initial Eligibility Requirements, and (ii) with respect to the time period during which the Participant was classified by the Company as employed in an Eligible Position.
4.3    Employer Contributions.  Contributions of the Employer under this Article IV shall in no event exceed the limitations on deductions from gross income under the provisions of the Code and such amounts to be contributed shall be conditioned upon such deductibility.  All Employer Matching and Non-Elective Employer Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing the income tax returns of the Employers for the taxable year coinciding with such Plan Year.
4.4    Return of Contributions to Employers.
(1)    Except as provided in Subsection (2) of this Section 4.4, the Trust Fund shall never inure to the benefit of any Employer and shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.
(2)    If the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that an Employer has contributed an amount for any Plan Year which is in excess of the amount which is deductible by it under Section 404 of the Code for such Year, such contribution (to the extent the deduction is disallowed) shall, upon written request of the Employer filed with the Trustee, be returned to the Employer within one year after the deduction was disallowed.  If any contribution is made by an Employer due to a mistake of fact, such contribution shall, upon written request of the Employer filed with the Trustee, be returned to the Employer within one year after it is made.  Earnings attributable to contributions returned to an Employer pursuant to this Subsection may not be returned, but losses attributable thereto shall reduce the amount to be returned; provided,

32

 however, that if the withdrawal of the amount attributable to the mistaken or non-deductible contribution would cause the balance of the individual Account of any Participant to be reduced to less than the balance that would have been in such Account had the mistaken or non-deductible amount not have been contributed, the amount to be returned to the Employer pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be limited so as to avoid such reduction.
4.5    Safe Harbor Provisions.  The nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code will be met by this Plan pursuant to the ADP safe harbor provisions of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3; the safe harbor contribution will be the Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contribution.

The provisions of this Section shall apply for the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2016 and each subsequent Plan Year until this Plan is otherwise amended.

33

ARTICLE V - INVESTMENTS; LOANS
5.1    Investment of Funds.
(1)    The Trust Fund (other than the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Loan Accounts) shall be divided into Investment Funds, as the Investment Committee may in its discretion select or establish.  Each such Investment Fund shall comply with applicable law, including ERISA.  The Investment Funds shall include a Marathon Petroleum Corporation Common Stock Fund, which will invest in Marathon Petroleum Corporation common stock, with a small portion invested in cash for liquidity purposes.  The Trustee shall hold, manage, administer, invest, reinvest, account for and otherwise deal with the Trust Fund and each separate Investment Fund as provided in the Trust Agreement.

Each Eligible Employee may elect, pursuant to rules and procedures adopted by the Administrator, and effective at such time as prescribed by the Administrator, upon making a Rollover Contribution or having a Plan to Plan Transfer made on the Participant’s behalf that the assets contributed to the Plan on his or her behalf in such Rollover Contribution or Plan to Plan Transfer shall be invested in any proportion in any one or more Investment Funds.  In the absence of a Participant’s effective direction pursuant to this Section 5.1(2) as to the investment of all or a portion of the amounts in a Participant’s Account, the amounts for which there is no such direction shall be invested in the Investment Fund or Funds designated by the Investment Committee for such purpose (each of which shall be a

34

 “qualified default investment alternative” within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations).
(3)    Subject to rules established by the Administrator, a Participant may direct that any portion of his or her Account (other than the Loan Account) be reallocated in any proportion among the Investment Funds.
5.2    Account.  Each Participant shall have established for him by the Administrator an Account which reflects, to the extent applicable, the Participant’s Pre-Tax Basic Contributions Account, Pre-Tax Catch Up Contributions Account, After-Tax Contributions Account, Roth Basic Contributions Account, Roth Catch Up Contributions Account, Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions Account, Pre-2016 Employer Matching Contributions Account, Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account, Non-Roth Rollover Contributions Account, Roth Rollover Contributions Account, Non-Roth After Tax Contributions Account, Roth In-Plan Conversion Account, Prior Plan After-Tax Contributions Account and Prior Plan Employer Contributions Account.  The Roth Contributions Account shall be comprised of Roth Contributions, Roth In-Plan Conversions and properly attributable income, gains, losses, withdrawals and other credits and debits thereto.  The After-Tax Contributions Account and the Prior Plan After-Tax Contributions Account shall separately reflect the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions and the earnings thereon.  In the case of any individual with respect to whom a Plan to Plan Transfer has been made, the Rollover Contributions Account shall be further subdivided and separate records maintained to reflect the Participant’s after-tax employee contributions to the plan from which the Plan to Plan Transfer originated, the earnings thereon, the employer contributions made on behalf of the Participant to the plan from which the Plan to Plan Transfer originated and the earnings thereon.  An Alternate Payee’s Account shall be created

35

 by allocation from the Account of the Participant to whom the QDRO relates to a new account established for the Alternate Payee such portion of the Participant’s Account as is specified in the applicable QDRO.  The Administrator shall also maintain for each such Account separate records showing the amount of contributions thereto, payments, withdrawals and, in the case of the Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account and the Pre-2016 Employer Matching Contributions Account, forfeitures therefrom, and the amount of income, expenses, gains and losses attributable thereto.  The interest of each Participant hereunder at any time shall consist of the amount standing to the Participant’s Account (as determined in Section 5.4 below) as of the last preceding Valuation Date plus credits and minus debits to such Account since that Valuation Date.
5.3    Reports.  The Administrator shall cause reports to be made at least annually to each Participant as to the value of the Participant’s Account.  In addition, the Administrator shall cause such a report to be made to each Participant who terminates his or her employment with the Controlled Group.

(1)    As of the close of business on each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the value of each Participant’s Account as provided in the Plan and the Trust Agreement.  Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator, all Contributions shall be credited to each Participant’s Account as of the close of business on the Valuation Date on which the Trustee has received such Contributions.  
(2)    The Trustee shall make each valuation described in Subsection (1) on the basis of the market value (as determined by the Trustee) of the assets of each Investment Fund, except that property which the Trustee determines does not have a readily determinable market

36

value shall be valued at fair market value as determined by the Trustee in such manner as it deems appropriate.  
(3)    The Trustee shall determine, from the change in value of each Investment Fund between the current Valuation Date and the then last preceding Valuation Date, the net gain or loss of each such Investment Fund during such period resulting from expenses paid and realized and unrealized earnings, profits and losses of such Investment Fund during such period.  Contributions allocated to an Investment Fund described in this Subsection and payments, distributions and withdrawals from any such Investment Fund to provide benefits under the Plan for Participants or Beneficiaries shall not be deemed to be earnings, profits, expenses or losses of such Investment Fund.  The net gain or loss of each Investment Fund determined pursuant to this Subsection (3) shall be allocated as of each Valuation Date by the Trustee to the Accounts of Participants in such Investment Fund in proportion to the amounts of such Accounts invested in such Investment Fund on such Valuation Date, exclusive of amounts to be credited or debited to such Accounts as of such Valuation Date.
(4)    The total value of a Participant’s Account on each Valuation Date shall be the value determined under the preceding provisions of this Section for the portions of the Account invested in the respective Investment Funds described in such provisions, plus the value of a Participant’s Loan Account on the last preceding Valuation Date on which the Administrator valued such Loan Account pursuant to Section 5.5(3), reduced by any fees or expenses charged against the Account on any Valuation Date in accordance with the terms of this Plan or Trust.
(5)    The reasonable and equitable decision of the Trustee as to the value of each Investment Fund, and as to the value of each Participant Account, as of each Valuation Date

37

 shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest, direct or indirect, in such Investment Fund or Account.
5.5    Loans to Participants.
(1)    A Participant, other than Non-Employee Participants, whose Account Balance is at least $1,000 and who is a “party in interest” within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA may apply for a loan from his or her Account (not including any portion of the Participant’s Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account) in the manner prescribed by the Administrator.  Each loan shall be charged against the Participant’s Accounts in the order established by the Administrator.  
(2)    Each loan shall be in an amount which is not less than $500.  A Participant, other than Non-Employee Participants, may have no more than five (5) loans outstanding at any one time.  The maximum loan to any Participant (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans to the Participant from all qualified employer plans (as defined in Section 72(p)(4) of the Code) of the Controlled Group) shall be an amount which does not exceed the lesser of
(a)    $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of (i) the highest outstanding balance of such other loans during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which such loan is made, over (ii) the outstanding balance of such other loans on the date on which such loan is made, or
(b)    50% of the value of such Participant’s vested Accounts (not including any portion of the Participant’s Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account) on the date on which such loan is made.

38

(3)    For each Participant for whom a loan is authorized pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall (a) liquidate the Participant’s interest in the Investment Funds as determined by the Administrator, to the extent necessary to provide funds for the loan, (b) disburse such funds to the Participant upon the Participant’s execution of the promissory note and security agreement referred to in Subsection 4(d) of this Section, and (c) maintain copies of the Participant’s executed promissory note and security agreement referred to in Subsection 4(d) of this Section.  The Administrator shall establish and maintain a separate recordkeeping account within the Participant’s Account (the “Loan Account”) (d) which initially shall be in the amount of the loan, (e) to which the funds for the loan shall be deemed to have been allocated and then disbursed to the Participant, (f) to which the promissory note shall be allocated and (g) which shall show the unpaid principal of and interest on the promissory note from time to time.  All payments of principal and interest by a Participant shall be credited initially to the Loan Account and applied against the Participant’s promissory note, and then invested in the Investment Funds pursuant to Section 5.1(2).  The Administrator shall value each Participant’s Loan Account for purposes of Section 5.4 at such times as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, but not less frequently than monthly.
(4)    Loans made pursuant to this Section 5.5, (a) shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis, (b) shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in a percentage amount greater than the percentage amount made available to other Participants, (c) shall be secured by the Participant’s Loan Account; and (d) shall be evidenced by a promissory note and security agreement executed by the Participant.  Such promissory note and security agreement shall provide for (e) the security referred to in clause (c) of this Subsection, (f) a rate of interest for the loan, consistent with the rate being

39

 charged by other lending institutions for a similar loan to an unrelated borrower on the same date, (g) repayment within a specified period of time, which shall not extend beyond five years, (h) repayment in equal payments over the term of the loan, with payments not less frequently than quarterly, and (i) for such other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.  
(5)    Each loan made pursuant to this Section 5.5 to a Participant who is an Employee will be repaid pursuant to authorization by the Participant of equal payroll deductions over the repayment period sufficient to amortize fully the loan within the repayment period; provided, however, the Administrator may waive the requirement of equal payroll deductions if the payroll through which the Participant is paid cannot accommodate such deductions.  The loan shall be repayable in whole or in part at any time without penalty by payment in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.
(6)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, loan repayments will be suspended under the Plan as permitted under Section 414(u)(4) of the Code (for Participants on a leave of absence for “qualified military service” (as defined in Section 2.4)).

6.1    Participants’ Accounts Vested.   
(1)    Participants will have an immediate fully vested right to the portion of their Account attributable to Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Rollover Contributions, Roth Contributions, Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions and Prior Plan After-Tax Contributions.
(2)    The vested percentage of a Participant’s Account attributable to Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Pre-2016 Employer Matching Contributions shall be determined as follows: 
	
		
	Years of Vesting Service:
	Vested Percentage is:

	Less than 3

	Years of Vesting Service:
	Vested Percentage is:

	Less than 1
	0%

	1 or More
	100%

(4)    Notwithstanding the vesting schedules specified above, a Participant’s right to the portion of his or her Account attributable to Pre-2016 Employer Matching Contributions, Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Prior Plan Employer Contributions shall be fully vested (a) upon death or Disability, provided such Participant is an Employee on the date of death or Disability, (b) upon attainment of age 65, and (c) upon a Change in Control, provided the Participant is a non-officer, active, exempt, full-time, non-store employee in grade 7 or higher who is separated from service from the Company and its direct subsidiaries, or their

41

 successors, within the twenty-four (24) month period following the effective date of such Change in Control.  
(5)    If a Participant forfeits all or a portion of the balance in his or her unvested Account on account of a distribution or deemed distribution of the vested portion of his or her Account pursuant to Section 6.2, and is subsequently rehired by a Controlled Group Member, the amount forfeited shall be restored to the Participant’s Account by means of a special Employer contribution if, not later than the earlier of the end of the five-year period beginning with (i) the first date on which the Participant is subsequently rehired by a Controlled Group Member; or (ii) the date of the distribution of the vested portion of the Participant’s Account, the Participant repays to the Plan an amount equal to such distribution.  Such restoration shall be made as of the date of the Participant’s repayment (or deemed repayment) described in this Subsection.  Any amounts restored to a Participant’s Account pursuant to this Subsection shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable upon such restoration.
(6)    Service with Controlled Group Members shall be recognized for purposes of computing Years of Vesting Service under the Plan provided that such service is attributable to time while the employer(s) was a Controlled Group Member. If a former Employee is subsequently reemployed by an Employer, all prior service which has been credited for vesting purposes hereunder shall be reinstated.
Participants who were employed by a company at the time such company was acquired by the Company may, with the approval of the Company or any committee to which the Company has specifically delegated sufficient authority, be entitled to additional vesting service based on employment with the acquired company. 

42

 
        
6.2    Forfeiture on Termination of Employment.  If a Participant’s employment is terminated with all Controlled Group Members, Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Prior Plan Employer Contributions in which he or she is not vested shall be forfeited upon the earlier of (i) the distribution of the Participant’s vested Account or (ii) five (5) years after the date when a Participant is no longer an Active Participant or a Participant with Account(s) in Suspense.  All forfeitures shall be used to reduce Employer Contribution otherwise payable under the Plan; provided, however, that forfeitures shall not be used to fund Contributions to the Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions Account.

43

45

Elective Employer Contributions Account, and the Rollover Contributions Account may be withdrawn.
7.3    In-Service Withdrawal of Entire Distributable Vested Plan Balance.  Subject to the conditions of this Section 7.3, Active Participants or Participants with Account(s) in Suspense may request an In-Service Withdrawal of their entire distributable vested Plan balance.  The amount available for withdrawal depends on the Participant’s age, disability status, vested status, and employment date as follows:
(1)    Fully Vested Participants.  Fully vested Participants who have not attained age 59-1/2 may receive the value of their After-Tax Contributions Account, Rollover Contributions Account, Roth Rollover Contributions Account, Prior Plan After-Tax Contributions Account and Pre-2016 Employer Matching Contributions Account.

46

 Contributions Account, Roth Basic Contributions Account, Roth In-Plan Conversation Account, and Roth Catch-Up Contributions Account.  
7.4    Distributions due to Military Service.

However, a Participant who obtains a distribution by reason of service in the uniformed service for more than 30 days may not make any elective deferrals or employee contributions to the Plan during the six-month period beginning on the date of such distribution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant who is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of title 37), and who was ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period may request, during the period beginning on the date of the order or call to duty and ending at the close of the active duty period, a distribution of all or part of his or her elective deferrals. The distribution shall be paid to the Participant as promptly as practicable after the Administrator (or its delegate) receives the Participant’s request.

47

ARTICLE VIII - WITHDRAWALS AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
8.1    General.  Any nonvested Employer Matching Contributions held in the Employer Matching Contributions Account, any Non-Elective Employer Contributions held in the Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account, and any Prior Plan Employer Contributions held in the Prior Plan Employer Contributions Account are forfeited on the earlier of a complete withdrawal or five (5) years after the date when a Participant is no longer an Active Participant or a Participant with Account(s) in Suspense.  Vested Participants are entitled to receive their entire vested balance in all accounts when the Participant is no longer an Active Participant or a Participant with Account(s) in Suspense.
8.2    Timing of Commencement of Benefits.  
(1)    The following Participants may elect to defer the commencement of benefits until no later than the April 1 immediately following the calendar year in which such Participants attain age 701⁄2:
(a)    Retired Participants with vested Plan Accounts in excess of $5,000;
(b)    Participants with Account(s) in Suspense; and 
(c)    Non-employee Participants (other than Non-employee Participants with a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less, Beneficiary Participants, and Spouse Beneficiary Participants with a vested Plan balance in excess of $5,000).
(2)    Spouse Beneficiary Participants with a Plan balance in excess of $5,000 may maintain an open Plan Account(s) for their lifetime, subject to the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9).  Spouse Beneficiary Participants with a Plan balance of $5,000 or less must commence their final settlement no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year during which they become Spouse Beneficiary Participants.  Beneficiary Participants

48

 may maintain an open Account(s) until no later than the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant’s death.  All other Non-employee Participants (including Beneficiary Participants) with a vested Plan balance of $5,000 or less must commence their final settlement no later than 60 days from the date of becoming such Participants unless, in the case of an Alternate Payee Participants, the distribution of any part of such Plan balance is then not permitted under Code Section 401(k).  The Participant or, if applicable, the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, however, may request earlier payment of benefits, in which case payment shall commence as soon as practicable after the Participant or, if applicable, the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries has filed a written notice of such election with the Administrator.
8.3    Withdrawal Rights after Termination of Employment.  The following are the distribution rights after termination of employment with all Controlled Group Members:
(1)    Retired Participants, Spouse Beneficiary Participants, or Beneficiary Participants may withdraw during any year all or any portion of the remaining balance in their Account(s), provided that no withdrawal of less than $500 may be made unless it constitutes the entire remaining balance.  Such withdrawals, however, are limited to a maximum of four (4) in a Plan Year.
(2)    Except as provided in Section 8.3(1), Non-employee Participants may only withdraw their entire Plan Account(s); provided, however, that Non-employee Participants may also make a one-time withdrawal to pay off any outstanding Plan loan(s) without triggering the requirement to make a withdrawal of their entire Plan balance.
8.4    Reinstatements.  
(1)    Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, any amounts held in the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account and

49

 Prior Plan Employer Contributions Account forfeited by a Participant’s termination of employment prior to vesting will be used to reduce the applicable Employer’s subsequent Contributions to the Plan; provided, however, that such forfeited Contributions shall not be used to fund Contributions to the Safe Harbor Employer Matching Contributions Account.  The amounts forfeited held in the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account and Prior Plan Employer Contributions Account, however, shall be reinstated if the Participant is rehired by an Employer, and, within five (5) years after the date of rehire, repays an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the Employer Matching Contributions, Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Prior Plan Employer Contributions, and earnings thereon as of the date of forfeiture, for the last 24 months in which they contributed to the Plan, or (2) the amount of the Plan distribution received upon termination of employment.  The maximum an Active Participant may repay is the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions, and, if applicable, Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions, the total of which must not exceed the amount of the previous total distribution.  Reinstated contributions by an eligible rehired employee are deposited into the After-Tax Contributions Account (if attributable to pre-1987 after-tax employee contributions in the After-Tax Contributions Account, such contributions are credited to the pre-1987 subaccount).  In any case, the rehired Participant shall have reinstated toward vesting the total number of months for which contributions were matched prior to the Participant’s complete distribution. The reinstatement contribution shall not be adjusted for earnings or losses during the forfeiture period. 
(2)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Deferred Participant who is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member will have nonvested forfeited Employer Matching Contributions, Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Prior Plan Employer Contributions automatically

50

 reinstated into the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Non-Elective Employer Contributions Account or Prior Plan Employer Contributions Account, as the case may be, as of the date of reemployment provided that such reemployment date occurs within five (5) years of the date of such Participant’s last termination of employment from a Controlled Group Member.  All automatic reinstatements will be invested in accordance with the Participant’s direction.  A Deferred Participant who is reemployed by an Employer or any Controlled Group Member will have reinstated toward vesting the total number of months recognized for vesting under Article VI immediately prior to such Participant’s last termination of employment from a Controlled Group Member.
8.5    Settlement Options.  
(1)    Unless a Participant elects otherwise and except as provided below, distribution of his or her Account(s) will be made in a single sum payment, in either cash or in securities.
(2)    A Participant’s elective deferrals and earnings attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the Participant’s severance from employment, regardless of when the severance from employment occurred.  However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed.
(3)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.  For purposes of this Section 8.5(3), the following definitions shall apply:

51

(a)    Eligible rollover distribution.  Any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee from the Plan, except (a) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more, (b) any distribution to the extent the distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, (c) the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (other than a distribution from a designated Roth account, as defined in Section 402A of the Code), and (d) any distribution which is made upon the hardship of the distributee.  For purposes of this Section, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax contributions which are not includible in gross income, including any amounts distributed from a designated Roth account (as defined in Section 402A of the Code).  However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified trust (within the meaning of Section 402(c) of the Code) or an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
(b)    Eligible retirement plan.  An eligible retirement plan shall means an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408 of the Code, a defined contribution plan that meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and

52

 accepts rollovers, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, a Roth IRA described in Section 408A(b) of the Code, or any other type of plan that is included within the definition of “eligible retirement plan” under Section 401(a)(31)(E) of the Code.  The preceding definition of “eligible retirement plan” shall apply in the case of a distribution to a spouse after a Participant’s death, or to a spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee.  However, in the case of a distributee other than the Participant, spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee, the term “eligible retirement plan” shall mean only an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408 of the Code.
(c)    Distributee.  A distributee includes an Employee or former Employee.  In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving Spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a QDRO, are distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or former Spouse.  A distributee also includes a non-Spouse Beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary under the Plan. 
(d)    Direct rollover.  A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
(4)    Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsections of this Section, a direct rollover of a distribution from the Roth Contributions Account will only be made to another designated Roth account (as defined in Section 402A of the Code) under an applicable retirement

53

 plan described in Section 402A(e)(1) of the Code or to a Roth IRA described in Section 408A of the Code, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Section 402(c) of the Code.  The provisions of Subsection (3) of this Section that allow a Participant to elect a direct rollover of only a portion of an eligible rollover distribution shall be applied by treating any amount distributed from the Participant’s Roth Contributions Account as a separate distribution from any amount distributed from the rest of the Participant’s Account, even if the amounts are distributed at the same time.
8.6    Installment Options.  
(1)    Retired Participants of any age and Spouse Beneficiary Participants may elect the Installment Option.  Under the Installment Option, Participants may elect annual, or semi-annual, installments to be paid in cash and/or securities. Monthly installments may also be elected, but they will be paid only in cash. After benefits commence under the Installment Option, the Participant may elect to discontinue receiving further installments at any time. A Retired Participant and a Spouse Beneficiary Participant may be permitted to take a Retired Participant withdrawal during the payout period of the Installment Option.  If a Participant dies during the payout period under the Installment Option, the installment payments will cease and any further benefits with respect to the Participant’s Account(s) will be payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.7.  
(2)    Any new installment elections or changes to current elections result in proceeds being redeemed in the order described in Section 7.2, with the type of Account taking precedence over the type of Investment.  For minimum required distribution withdrawals for Retired Participants, these required withdrawals will also be distributed in the order defined by the Plan default. 

54

 
8.7    Distributions on Account of Death.  Subject to Section 8.9, a Beneficiary, in the event of the Participant’s death, may receive funds from the Plan in cash and/or securities commencing pursuant to the terms of Article VIII.  If payment of the Participant’s Account(s) pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan has commenced before the Participant’s death, the remaining balance of the Participant’s benefit will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries at least as rapidly as required under Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder
8.8    Distributions Pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  Alternate Payees shall be eligible to receive distribution of their Accounts at any time after the “earliest retirement age” (as defined in Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code) of the Participant from whose Account the Alternate Payee’s Account was created or, if the QDRO applicable to the Alternate Payee so provides, at any time after the date the Alternate Payee’s Account is established pursuant to Section 5.2.  If a QDRO orders the Administrator to distribute all or any portion of the Account of the Alternate Payee to such Alternate Payee, the Administrator as soon as practicable shall make such distribution of such interest in the Account to such Alternate Payee.  If a withdrawal of the Alternate Payee Participant’s account balance has not been made earlier, then Alternate Payee Participants will receive an automatic distribution of the account balance from the Plan no later than 180 days after the account has been established.  An Alternate Payee Participant with a Plan balance of $5,000 or less may maintain an open Account until no later than 60 days after becoming an Alternate Payee Participant or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter when a distribution may be processed.

55

8.9    Provision Pursuant to Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.  The Plan will apply the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9), as described in Appendix A.
8.10    Automatic Rollovers.  The Plan balance of Participants, other than Active Participants and Participants with Account(s) in Suspense, will be distributed to such Participants in the form of a lump sum in cash without their consent if their Plan balance is less than or equal to $5,000, determined immediately after the forfeiture of any nonvested Employer Matching Contributions, Non-Elective Employer Contributions and Prior Plan Employer Contributions.  Account balances attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto), are included in determining a participant’s eligibility to receive the small cash-out under this Section 8.10.  In the event of a small cash-out under this Section 8.10 in which the Plan balance is greater than $1,000, if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(31)(B), then the Administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Administrator.

56

ARTICLE IX - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN AND TRUST
9.1    Plan Administrator.  The Company has appointed Philip E. Hall as Plan Administrator.  The Company may appoint such assistant administrators as may be deemed necessary.  The Administrator shall be a Named Fiduciary under the Plan for all purposes other than for purposes of the control or management of the assets of the Plan.
9.2    Duties of Plan Administrator.  The Administrator shall be responsible for the administration and interpretation of the Plan.  The Plan intends to meet the requirements of ERISA Section 404(c) and its regulations.  Under these rules, the Plan fiduciaries may be relieved of liability for any losses which are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a Participant or Beneficiary.  In determining the eligibility of Participants and other individuals for benefits and in construing the Plan’s terms, the Administrator has the power to exercise discretion in the construction of doubtful, disputed, or ambiguous terms or provisions of the Plan, in cases where the Plan document is silent, or in the application of Plan terms or provisions to situations not clearly or specifically addressed in the Plan itself.  In situations in which the Administrator deems it to be appropriate, the Administrator may evidence (i) the exercise of such discretion, or (ii) any other type of decision, directive, or determination it may make with respect to the Plan, in the form of a written administrative ruling which, until revoked, or until superseded by plan amendment or by a different administrative ruling or a different administration of the ruling, shall thereafter be followed in the administration of the Plan.
9.3    Delegation of Duties.  The Trustee and the Company may, by agreement in writing, arrange for a delegation by the Trustee to the Administrator of any of the Trustee’s functions, except the custody of assets and discretion to manage and control the assets, the voting with respect to shares held by the Trustee, and the purchase, sale, or redemption of securities. 

57

 The Administrator may, from time to time, delegate to any assistant plan administrator appointed pursuant to this Article the authority to exercise any or all of the foregoing powers and such others as the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Plan.
9.4    Investment Committee.  With respect to investment matters, an Investment Committee shall be responsible (i) for reviewing and monitoring the performance of any investment managers which have been appointed and in developing appropriate guidelines and investment strategies for such investment managers, and (ii) for carrying out the Plan’s funding policy, in selecting and reviewing appropriate Investment Funds, and in addressing any related investment matters.  The Committee shall consist of the Administrator and any other officers of the Company or the Corporation whom the Administrator (or the Company or Corporation) may appoint, from time to time, to serve upon the Committee.  The Administrator is also authorized to obtain the services of legal counsel, outside consultants, and other appropriate persons, as it deems necessary or appropriate, to assist the Committee in performing its responsibilities.  Any fees, charges, and/or costs associated with the retention of such services shall be paid by the Company. 
9.5    Records; Statements of Accounts.
(1)    In the administration of the Plan, the Trustee or the Administrator shall maintain individual ledger records on each Participant’s account(s).  Such records shall reflect a Participant’s Account(s) as between Employer and Employee Contributions and among different forms of Employee and Employer Contributions on a continuous basis.  The records of the Trustee, the Administrator, and the Company shall be conclusive in respect to all matters involved in the administration of this Plan except as otherwise provided herein or by law.

58

(2)    At least annually, a statement will be furnished to each Participant of the status of the Participant’s account(s) which shall specify whether the Participant has a vested right to all or any portion of his or her Account.  This statement shall be deemed to have been accepted as correct unless written notice to the contrary is received by the Administrator within 90 days after its mailing to the Participant.  
(3)    Any application to make Participant contributions, any election, any withdrawal request, or any other direction under the Plan by a Participant must be accepted on behalf of the Administrator before it shall be effective.
9.6    Costs, Expenses and Fees.  All costs, expenses, and fees incurred in administering this Plan, to the extent not paid by the Company, shall be incurred by Participants, Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees.  Fees or charges for investment management services shall not be paid by the Company but shall be borne by the Participants, Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees electing such services.  Any taxes applicable to the Participant’s account(s) shall be charged or credited to the Participant’s account(s) by the Trustee.
9.7    Uniformity.  Any discretionary acts taken under this Plan by the Administrator, the Company, or the Trustee shall be uniform in their nature, shall be applicable to all Participants similarly situated, and shall be administered in a nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with the provisions of the Code and ERISA.  It is intended that the standard of judicial review applied to any determination made by the Administrator shall be the “arbitrary and capricious” standard of review.  Decisions of the Administrator made on all matters within the scope of its authority shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, any Trustee, all Participants, Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees; their heirs and personal representatives, and all labor unions or other similar organizations representing Participants.

59

9.8    The Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund shall be held by the Trustee for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and the Trust Fund shall be invested by the Trustee upon such terms and in such property as is provided in the Plan and in the Trust Agreement.  The Trustee will, from time to time, make payments, distributions and deliveries from the Trust Fund as provided in the Plan.  The Trustee in its relation to the Plan shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and benefits conferred upon it and shall be subject to all of the duties imposed upon it under the Trust Agreement.  The Trust Agreement is hereby incorporated in the Plan by reference, and each Employer, by adopting the Plan, authorizes the Company to execute the Trust Agreement (including any amendment or Plan thereof) in its behalf with respect to the Plan.
9.9    Payment of Benefits.  All payments of benefits provided for by the Plan (less any deductions provided for by the Plan) shall be made solely out of the Trust Fund in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee by the Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and no Employer shall otherwise be liable for any benefits payable under the Plan.

60

ARTICLE X - CLAIMS PROCEDURES
10.1    Filing Claim.  Any claim for benefits under the Plan shall be made in writing, identified as a claim for benefits, and filed with the Administrator.  The Administrator may treat any writing or other communication received by the Administrator as a claim for benefits under these procedures, even if the writing or communication is not identified as a claim for benefits.   
10.2    Notification by Administrator.  Written notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 60 days after the claim is filed, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Administrator determines that special circumstances require such extension.  In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be notified in writing that the claim has been denied.  Such notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall (1) state the specific reasons for the denial of the claim, (2) make references to the specific provisions of this Plan and/or Trust Agreement on which the denial of the claim is based, (3) contain a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation of why it is necessary, and (4) contain a description of this Plan’s review procedures under Section 10.3, and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.
10.3    Review Procedure.  Upon denial of a claim in whole or in part, a claimant (or the claimant’s authorized representative) shall have the right to submit a written request to the Administrator, for a full and fair review of the denied claim, and shall have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. 

61

 The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.  A request for review of a claim must be submitted within 65 days of receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim.  If the claimant fails to file a request for review within 65 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed permanently waived and abandoned, and the claimant will be precluded from reasserting it.  If the claimant does file a request for review, the claimant’s request shall include a description of the issues and evidence the claimant deems relevant.  Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.  A decision shall be rendered no more than 60 days after the Administrator’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional 60 days if the Administrator determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension.  If an extension of time is required, written notice of the expected decision date and the reasons for the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.  In the event of an adverse benefit determination on review, the notice of the determination (1) shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (2) shall state the specific reasons for the decision, (3) shall make reference to the specific provisions of this Plan and/or Trust Agreement on which the determination was based, (4) shall contain a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request, and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits, and (5) shall contain a statement of  the claimant's right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.  To the extent of its responsibility to review the denial of benefit claims, the

62

 Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and apply in its sole discretion the provisions of the Plan.  The decision of the Administrator on appeal shall be final and binding upon any and all claimants, including, but not limited to, Participants and Beneficiaries, and any other individuals making a claim through or under them.
10.4    Timing of Legal Action.  Claimants must follow the claims procedures described by this Article X before taking action in any other forum regarding a claim for benefits under the Plan.  Any suit or legal action initiated by a claimant under the Plan must be brought by the claimant no later than one year following a final decision on the claim for benefits under these claim procedures.  The one-year statute of limitations on suits for benefits shall apply in any forum where a claimant initiates such suite or legal action.  If a civil action is not filed within this period, the claimant’s benefit claim will be deemed permanently waived and abandoned, and the claimant will be precluded from reasserting it.
10.5    Delegation by Administrator.  The Administrator in its sole discretion may from time to time delegate such of its power and authority under the provisions of this Article X to such person(s) as it deems appropriate for the orderly administration and determination of claims.  Such delegation may include, without limitation, the Administrator’s power and authority to decide a claim or to review and decide an appealed claim.  Upon any such delegation, the delegatee(s) shall have, to the extent of the delegation, the full power, authority and discretion of the Administrator with respect to the affected claim(s).

63

(3)    Any delegation pursuant to Subsection (2) of this Section 11.2, (a) shall be signed by the delegator, be delivered to and accepted in writing by the delegatee and be delivered to the Administrator, (b) shall contain such provisions and conditions relating to such delegation as the delegator deems appropriate, (c) shall specifically designate the powers, functions, duties and responsibilities therein delegated, (d) may be amended from time to time by written agreement signed by the delegator and the delegatee and delivered to the Administrator and (e) may be revoked (in whole or in part) at any time by written notice from the delegator delivered to the delegatee and the Administrator or from the delegatee delivered to the delegator and the Administrator.

65

ARTICLE XII - CODE SECTIONS 415 AND 416 PROVISIONS
12.1    Provision Pursuant to Code Section 415(c).
(1)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan (except to the extent permitted under Section 3.3 and Section 414(v) of the Code), the maximum annual addition (as defined in Subsection (2) of this Section) to a Participant’s Account (and to any account for the Participant under the Plan or any other defined contribution plan, whether or not terminated, maintained by any Controlled Group Member) shall in no event exceed the lesser of (a) 100% of the participant’s compensation (as defined in Subsection (4) of this Section), or (b) $40,000 (as such amount may be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Code Section 415(d)), except that this compensation limitation shall not apply to: (i) any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) after separation from service which is otherwise treated as an annual addition, or (ii) any amount otherwise treated as an annual addition under Section 415(l)(1) of the Code.
(2)    For the purpose of this Section 12.1, the term “annual addition” means the sum for any Plan Year (which shall be the limitation year) of:
(a)    All contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions and Rollover Contributions) made by the Controlled Group which are allocated to the Participant’s account pursuant to a defined contribution plan maintained by a Controlled Group Member;
(b)    The amount of employee contributions made by the Participant (excluding Catch-Up Contributions and Rollover Contributions);
(c)    All forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s account pursuant to a defined contribution plan maintained by a Controlled Group Member; and

66

(d)    Amounts described in Sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2) of the Code.
(3)    For purposes of this Section 12.1, the definition of “Controlled Group” set forth in Subsection 1.1(15) shall be modified as provided by Section 415(h) of the Code.
(4)    For purposes of the limitation in Section 12.1(1), a Participant’s compensation shall include the Participant’s wages, salaries, fees for professional service, and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with any Controlled Group Member (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, and bonuses) and elective deferrals under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), and 457(b).  A Participant’s compensation shall also include amounts described in Code Section 104(a)(3), 105(a), or 105(h), but only to the extent includable in the Participant’s gross income; nondeductible reimbursed moving expenses; amounts includible in the Participant’s gross income upon grant of a nonstatutory stock option, or an election under Code Section 83(b); and amounts includible in the Participant’s gross income as constructively received under the rules of Code Section 409A or 457(f)(1)(A).  However, a Participant’s compensation shall exclude such items as Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation, income realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, income realized from the disposition of stock acquired under an incentive stock option, and reimbursed deductible moving expenses.  Compensation, for the purposes of the foregoing limitation, shall also include: amounts paid or made available after a Participant’s severance from service, required to be included under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.415(c)-2(e)(3)(i) and 1.415(c)-2(e)(3)(ii); and payments of back pay within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 

67

Section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8).  This definition of compensation is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2.  The term “compensation” shall also include any differential wage payments (within the meaning of Section 3401(h)(2) of the Code) made to a participant by the Controlled Group.
12.2    Provision Pursuant to Code Section 416.
(1)    Definitions.  For the purposes of this Section, the following terms, when used with initial capital letters shall have the following respective meanings:
(a)    Aggregation Group:  Permissive Aggregation Group or Required Aggregation Group, as the context shall require.

(c)    Defined Benefit Plan:  A qualified plan which is not a defined contribution plan.
(d)    Defined Contribution Plan:  A qualified plan which provides for an individual account for each participant, and for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account, and any income, expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants which may be allocated to the participant’s account.
(e)    Determination Date:  For any Plan Year, the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year, except that in the case of the first Plan Year of a Plan, the Determination Date shall be the last day of such first Plan Year.
(f)    Former Key Employee:  A Non-Key Employee with respect to a Plan Year who was a Key Employee in a prior Plan Year.  Such term shall also include the Participant’s Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death.

68

(g)    Key Employee:  An Employee or former Employee who at any time during the Plan Year is (i) an officer of an Employer (as the term “officer” is limited in Section 416(i)(1)(A) of the Code) having an annual Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), (ii) a 5% owner (as such term is defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(i) of the Code) of an Employer, or (iii) a 1% owner (as such term is defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code) of an Employer having an annual Compensation of more than $150,000.  For purposes of this paragraph (g), the term “Compensation” has the meaning given such term by Section 415(c)(3) of the Code.  The term “Key Employee” shall also include such Employee's Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death.  The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the applicable Treasury Regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
(h)    Non-Key Employee:  An Employee or former Employee who is not a Key Employee.  Such term shall also include the Participant’s Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death.

(i)    The plans in the Required Aggregation Group; plus
(ii)    One (1) or more plans designated from time to time by the Administrator that are not part of the Required Aggregation Group but that satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code when considered with the Required Aggregation Group.

69

(j)    Required Aggregation Group:  The group of  qualified plans of the Employer consisting of,
(i)    Each plan in which a Key Employee participates; plus
(ii)    Each plan which enables a plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.
(k)    Top-Heavy Account Balance:  A Participant’s (including a Participant who has received a total distribution from this Plan) or a Beneficiary’s aggregate balance standing to his or her Account as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the Determination Date; provided, however, that such balance shall include the aggregate distributions made to such Participant or Beneficiary during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been included in a Required Aggregation Group) unless such aggregate distributions were made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability in which case the preceding provisions of this paragraph (k) shall be applied by substituting a 5-year period for the 1-year period and; provided, further, that if an Employee or former Employee has not performed services for any Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date, such Account (and/or the Account of the Participant’s Beneficiary) shall not be taken into account.
(l)    Top-Heavy Group:  An Aggregation Group if, as of a Determination Date, the aggregate present value of accrued benefits for Key Employees in all plans in the Aggregation Group (whether Defined Benefit Plans or Defined

70

 Contribution Plans) is more than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate present value of accrued benefits for all employees in such plans.
(m)    Top-Heavy Plan:  See Section 12.2(2).
(2)    Determination of Top-Heavy Status.
(a)    Except as provided by paragraph (b) of this Subsection, the Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan if, as of a Determination Date:
(i)    The aggregate of Top-Heavy Account Balances for Key Employees is more than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of all Top-Heavy Account Balances, excluding for this purpose the aggregate Top-Heavy Account Balances of Former Key Employees; or
(ii)    If the Plan is included in a Required Aggregation Group which is a Top-Heavy Group.
(b)    If the Plan is included in a Permissive Aggregation Group which is not a Top-Heavy Group, the Plan shall not be a Top-Heavy Plan notwithstanding the fact that the Plan would otherwise be a Top-Heavy Plan under paragraph (a) of this Subsection.
(3)    Top-Heavy Plan Requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, if the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year, the Plan shall then satisfy the following requirements for such Plan Year:
(a)    The minimum contribution requirement as set forth in Subsection (4).
(b)    The adjustment to maximum benefits and allocations as set forth in Subsection (5).

71

(4)    Minimum Contribution Requirement.
(a)    Each Non-Key Employee who is eligible to share in any Employer Matching Contribution for such Plan Year shall be entitled to receive an allocation of such Contribution which is at least equal to three percent (3%) of the Participant’s Compensation for such Plan Year.
(b)    The three percent (3%) minimum contribution requirement under paragraph (a) above shall be increased to four percent (4%) in the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a) of Subsection (5) of this Section.
(c)    The percentage minimum contribution requirement set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above with respect to a Plan Year shall not exceed the percentage at which Employer Matching Contributions are made (or required to be made) under the Plan for such Plan Year for the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest for such Year.  The determination referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined for each Key Employee by dividing the Employer Matching Contribution allocated to such Key Employee in that Plan Year by such Key Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year.  For purposes of the percentage minimum contribution requirement set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Employer Matching Contributions shall include all Employer Matching Contributions and those Deferred Salary Contributions and/or Roth Contributions made for Key Employees; provided, however, that Employer Matching Contributions that are taken into account in satisfying the percentage minimum contribution requirement set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

72

(d)    The percentage minimum contribution requirement set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Subsection may also be reduced in accordance with paragraph (b) of Subsection (6) of this Section.
(e)    For the purpose of paragraph (c) of this Subsection, contributions taken into account shall include like contributions under all other Defined Contribution Plans in the Required Aggregation Group, excluding any such plan in the Required Aggregation Group if that plan enables a Defined Benefit Plan in such Required Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410 of the Code.
(5)    Adjustment to Maximum Benefits and Allocations.  If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year, and if the Employer maintains a Defined Benefit Plan which could or does provide benefits to Participants in this Plan, then Subsection (4)(b) shall apply so that the percentage minimum contribution requirement in Subsection(4)(b) is four percent (4%).
(6)    Coordination With Other Plans.
(a)    In applying this Section, an Employer and all Controlled Group Members shall be treated as a single employer, and the qualified plans maintained by such single employer shall be taken into account.
(b)    In the event that another Defined Contribution Plan or Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer provides contributions or benefits on behalf of Participants in this Plan, such other Plan(s) shall be taken into account in determining whether this Plan satisfied Subsection (3); and the minimum contribution required for a Non-Key Employee in this Plan under Subsection (4) will be eliminated if the Employer

73

 maintains another qualified plan under which such minimums are required to be provided.
(c)    In the event a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer provides benefits on behalf of Participants in this Plan, the provisions contained in paragraph (d) of this Subsection shall be applied in order to preclude either required duplication or inappropriate omission of minimum benefits or contributions.
(d)    Each Non-Key Employee for whom a minimum contribution is required under Subsection (4) of this Section and for whom a minimum benefit is required under a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer shall be provided with the minimum benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan(s), provided that such benefit shall be reduced by an amount (but such reduction shall not result in a minimum benefit of less than zero) of benefits which (if the benefits provided under this Plan were converted to a benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan(s)) is the actuarial equivalent of the benefits provided by the vested portion of the Non-Key Employee’s account balance (including any prior distributions or withdrawals therefrom) in this Plan determined as of the Determination Date of the Plan Year for which the minimum benefit is to be provided and shall not be provided with such minimum contribution under this Plan.
(7)    Construction:  The term “present value of accrued benefits” as used in this Section shall in all appropriate cases include account balances of affected Employees.
(8)    Accrued Benefit:  Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any other plan included in a required aggregation group of which this Plan is a part, is top-heavy (within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code) the accrued benefit of an Employee other than a key employee (within the meaning of Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) shall be determined

74

 under (a) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Controlled Group, or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rate of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

75

ARTICLE XIII - MISCELLANEOUS 
13.1    Prohibition on Assignment of Interest.  Except as provided in a QDRO, and to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, no interest, right or claim of any kind of a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant or Beneficiary, nor shall any such right or interest be subject to sale, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, commutation, alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, voluntary or involuntary.  The Administrator shall establish procedures to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders in accordance with Section 414(p) of the Code.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall honor a judgment, order, decree or settlement providing for the offset of all or a part of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan, to the extent permitted under Section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code; provided that the requirements of Section 401(a)(13)(C)(iii) of the Code relating to the protection of the Participant’s spouse (if any) are satisfied.
13.2    Facility of Payment.  In the event the Administrator finds that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is (at the time such benefit is payable) unable to care for his or her affairs because of physical, mental or legal incompetence, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may cause any payment due to him hereunder, for which prior claim has not been made by a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative, to be paid to the person or institution deemed by the Administrator to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such Participant or Beneficiary; and any such payment shall be deemed a payment for the account of such Participant or Beneficiary and shall constitute a complete discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan.

76

13.3    No Enlargement of Employment Rights.  A Participant by accepting benefits under the Plan does not thereby agree to continue for any period in the employ of his or her Employer, and the Employers by adopting the Plan, making contributions or taking any action with respect to the Plan do not obligate themselves to continue the employment of any Participant for any period.
13.4    Merger or Transfer of Assets.  The Company reserves the right to merge or consolidate the Plan with, and to transfer assets and liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, without the consent of any other Employer or other person, if such transfer is effectuated in accordance with applicable law and if such other plan meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, permits the receipt of such transfer and, with respect to the liabilities to be transferred, satisfies the requirements of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall not be any merger or consolidation of this Plan with, or transfer of assets or liabilities of this Plan to, any other plan, unless each Participant in the transferee plan would (if such other plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit the Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).
13.5    Severability Provision.  If any provision of this Plan or the application thereof to any circumstance or person is invalid, the remainder of this Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be affected thereby.
13.6    Military Service.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service, as defined in Section 2.4, will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.  

77

13.7    Electronic Media.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, including any provision which requires the use of a written instrument, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator may establish procedures for the use of electronic media in communications and transactions between this Plan or the Administrator and Participants and Beneficiaries.  Electronic media may include, but are not limited to, e-mail, the Internet, intranet systems and telephonic response systems.
13.8    Limitations on Investments and Transactions/Conversions.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary:
(1)    The Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may temporarily suspend, in whole or in part, certain Plan transactions, including, without limitation, the right to change or suspend contributions, and/or the right to receive a distribution, loan or withdrawal from an Account in the event of any conversion, change in recordkeeper and/or Plan merger or spinoff.
(2)    The Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may suspend, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, Plan transactions dealing with investments, including without limitation, the right of a Participant to change investment elections or reallocate Account balances in the event of any conversion, change in recordkeeper, change in investment funds and/or Plan merger or spinoff.
(3)    In the event of a change in investment funds and/or a Plan merger or spinoff, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may decide to map investments from a Participant’s prior investment fund elections to the then available investment funds under the Plan.  In the event that investments are mapped in this manner, the Participant shall be permitted to reallocate funds among the investment funds (in accordance with the terms of the

78

 Plan and any relevant rules and procedures adopted for this purpose) after the suspension period described in Subsection (2) of this Section (if any) is lifted.
(4)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the investment funds shall be subject to, and governed by, all applicable legal rules and restrictions and the rules specified by the Investment Fund providers in the fund prospectus(es) or other governing documents thereof (to the extent such rules and procedures are imposed and enforced by the investment fund provider against the Plan or a particular Participant).  Such rules, procedures and restrictions may limit the ability of a Participant to make transfers into or out of a particular Investment Fund and/or may result in additional transaction fees or other costs relating to such transfers.  In furtherance of, but without limiting the foregoing, Trustee, recordkeeper, Administrator, Investment Committee or Investment Fund provider (or their delegate, as applicable) may decline to implement any investment election or instruction where it deems appropriate.
13.9    Subrogation and Reimbursement.  Errors, omissions or mistakes in the administration and operation of the Plan do not entitle a Participant to receive more than the Participant’s correct benefit, and a Participant who receives an overpayment must repay the overpayment, if requested do so by the Administrator.  The Employer and Administrator reserve the right to correct any mistake in any reasonable manner, including but not limited to, adjusting the amount of future benefit payments, repaying to the Plan any overpayment or making catch-up payments to a Participant of an underpayment.

79

ARTICLE XIV - OTHER EMPLOYERS
14.1    Adoption by Other Employers.  Any corporation or other entity other than the Company may, with the consent of the Company, adopt the Plan and thereby become an Employer hereunder by executing an instrument evidencing such adoption and filing a copy thereof with the Company.  Such adoption may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Company requires or approves.
14.2    Contribution of Employers.  The contribution of the Employers under the Plan may be paid by the Company on behalf of itself and other Employers.  Each Employer shall pay for that portion of the contribution of the Employers under the Plan for each year that is allocated to Employees or former Employees of such Employer, but if such costs as so allocated would (in the opinion of the Company) not be fully and currently deductible for any Plan Year, the allocation among the Employers of the costs of the Plan, including the contribution of the Employers, may be made in such manner as is agreed to by the Employers and as will permit to the extent possible the deduction (for purposes of federal taxes on income) by each such Employer of its payments toward such costs.
14.3    Withdrawal of Employer.  Any Employer (other than the Company) which adopts the Plan may elect separately to withdraw from the Plan.  Amendments to the Plan, however, may be made only by the Company.  Any such withdrawal shall be expressed in an instrument executed by the withdrawing Employer and filed with the Company and the Trustee.

80

ARTICLE XV - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
15.1    Right to Amend or Terminate.  The Company has reserved, and does hereby reserve, the right at any time, without the consent of any other Employer or of the Participants, Beneficiaries or any other person, (1) to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part or as to any or all of the Employers or as to any designated group of Employees, Participants and their Beneficiaries, or (2) to amend the Plan, in whole or in part.  No such termination or amendment shall decrease the amount to be contributed by the Employers on account of any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which such termination or amendment is approved by the Company. The Company reserves the right to delegate such authority granted pursuant to this Section 15.1 to an authorized committee or individual.
15.2    Procedure for Termination or Amendment.  Any termination or amendment of the Plan pursuant to Section 15.1 shall be expressed in an instrument executed by the Company (or its delegate) and shall become effective as of the date designated in such instrument or, if no date is so designated, on its execution.
15.3    Distribution Upon Termination.  In the event of termination of the Plan in whole or in part, or upon the complete discontinuance of contributions, subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, Accounts of affected Participants in the Trust Fund shall be settled and distributed under the provisions of Article VIII, or, at the direction of the Company, as if each Participant of the Plan had then terminated employment with the Controlled Group.
15.4    Provision Pursuant to Section 411(d)(3) of the Code.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, upon the termination or partial termination of the Plan or upon complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan, the rights of all Participants to benefits accrued to the date of such termination or partial termination or discontinuance, to the extent then funded, or the amounts credited to the Participants’ Accounts shall be nonforfeitable.

81

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan Document to be adopted and executed on its behalf effective January 1, 2016, by an authorized officer.

For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under paragraph (b) of Subsection (3) below.  The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

83

 allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Account balance as of dates in the Valuation Calendar Year after the Valuation Date and decreased by distributions made in the Valuation Calendar Year after the Valuation Date.  The Account balance for the Valuation Calendar Year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation Calendar Year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the Valuation Calendar Year.
(e)    Required Beginning Date:  The applicable date specified in Subsection (3) below.
(2)    General Rules.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, at the times provided in this Section, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of this Section and the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; provided, however, that distributions may be made more rapidly than required by this Section and such Treasury Regulations to the extent permitted under any other applicable provisions of the Plan.
(3)    Time of Distribution. (1) The Participant’s entire vested interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  Except as described in paragraph (b) below, the Required Beginning Date of a Participant who is a 5% owner (as defined in Section 416 of the Code) shall be the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year the Participant attains age 701⁄2 and the Required Beginning Date of any other Participant shall be the April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year the Participant terminates employment with the Controlled Group or (ii) the calendar year the Participant attains age 701⁄2.

84

(b)    If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire vested interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: 
(i)    If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, unless the election described in paragraph (d) below is made, distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 701⁄2, if later.
(ii)    If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, unless the election described in paragraph (d) below is made, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
(iii)    If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire vested interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.
(iv)    If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant, but before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this

85

 paragraph (b), other than subparagraph (i) above, will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.
(c)    For purposes of this Section, unless subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (b) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  If subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (b) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) above.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, distribution to the Designated Beneficiary is not required to begin by the Required Beginning Date specified above if the Participant or the Beneficiary elects, on an individual basis, that the Participant’s entire vested interest will be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death; provided, however, that if the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant, but before distributions to either the Participant of the surviving Spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.  The election provided in this paragraph (d) must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin, or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving Spouse’s) death.  
(4)    Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.

86

(a)    During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:
(i)    the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, 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 balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and Spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and Spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.
(b)    Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Subsection (4) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
(5)    Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.
(a)    Death on or after date distributions begin:
(i)    If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s

87

 Account balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:
(A)    The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
(B)    If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving Spouse’s age as of the Spouse’s birthday in that year.  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 calendar year.
(C)    If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
(ii)    If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the

88

 year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 
(b)    Death before date distributions begin:
(i)    If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, then, unless the election described in paragraph (d) of Subsection (3) above is made, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in paragraph (a) above.
(ii)    If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire vested interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.
If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving Spouse dies before distributions

89

 are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (i) of Subsection (3)(b) above, this paragraph (b) will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

Exhibit 10.1

WEC ENERGY GROUP 
SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The Plan was established effective January 1, 2005 and is known as the "WEC Energy Group Supplemental Pension Plan."  Prior to January 1, 2016, the Plan was known as the Wisconsin Energy Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan.
The Plan is maintained by WEC Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) to attract and retain key employees by providing such employees with supplemental pension benefits.  The Plan consolidates provisions applicable to supplemental pension benefits under the Legacy Plan and pension make-whole benefits under the Legacy EDCP, STPP and MEZ Plan.  As such, beginning January 1, 2005, all supplemental pension benefits accrued pursuant to the Legacy Plan formula and all pension make-whole benefits accrued pursuant to the Legacy EDCP, STPP and MEZ Plan formulas are provided under this Plan.  Pension make-whole benefits earned under the Legacy EDCP, STPP and MEZ Plans as of December 31, 2004 were immediately vested and are considered "grandfathered" within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  
The Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and any guidance and regulations issued thereunder.  The Plan shall be interpreted and administered consistent with this intent and shall apply to all amounts credited under the Plan on or after January 1, 2005.  Such amounts include any amounts previously earned but not vested as of December 31, 2004 under the Legacy Plan, which the Company froze effective December 31, 2004.  The terms and conditions of the Legacy Plan govern any Legacy Plan benefits derived from compensation paid and credited to the Legacy Plan before January 1, 2005, provided the benefits were otherwise vested as of December 31, 2004.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, payment elections made at the end of the Code Section 409A transition period apply to benefits derived from compensation paid in 2005 and later and supersede any payment election or election to defer made during such period, in accordance with Code Section 409A relief provided in Notice 2006‐79, Notice 2007‐86 and proposed regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A.
The Plan was amended and restated on January 1, 2015 to exclude from participation any nonrepresented (management) employee hired, rehired, or transferred from a union position on or after January 1, 2015 since these employees are not eligible to participate in the RAP.  Instead, these employee are allocated a qualified employer pension contribution under the WEC Energy Group Employee Retirement Savings Plan (previously, the Wisconsin Energy Corporation Employee Retirement Savings Plan) and eligible employees receive supplemental benefits under the WEC Energy Group Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan (previously, the Wisconsin Energy Corporation Non‐qualified Retirement Savings Plan).  Effective as of January 1, 2016, the Plan was again restated to reflect the change in the name of the Company and Plan and to clarify certain administrative provisions.

Exhibit 10.1

ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Whenever used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below, unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context:
		
	1.1
	"Annual Installment Method" shall mean equal annual installment payments over a specified number of years that is actuarially equivalent to the immediate life annuity that would have normally been payable to the Participant upon the Participant's benefit commencement date.  To determine the annual installment payments, the Plan will utilize the actuarial assumptions set forth under the RAP for determining lump sum distributions from the RAP.

		
	1.2
	“Base Annual Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during a Plan Year, whether or not paid in, or included on the Form W-2 for, such Plan Year, excluding severance payments, non-qualified supplemental pension payments, performance awards, bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, relocation expenses, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, directors’ fees and other fees, automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Participant’s gross income), stock options, restricted stock, performance shares or units, dividends, dividend equivalents and any other equity-based award provided under a plan or arrangement of an Employer.  Base Annual Salary shall be calculated before it is deferred or contributed by the Participant under a qualified or non-qualified plan of an Employer and shall include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by an Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be included in Base Annual Salary only to the extent that, had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Participant.

		
	1.3
	“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities designated by the Participant in accordance with Article 6 that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of a Participant. 

		
	1.4
	“Board” shall mean the board of directors of the Company.

		
	1.5
	“Change in Control” shall mean, with respect to the Company, the occurrence of any one of the following dates, interpreted consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).  

		
	(a)
	Change in Ownership.  The date any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this paragraph, if any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of 

2

Exhibit 10.1

additional stock by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control.
		
	(b)
	Change in Effective Control.

		
	(i)
	The date any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this subparagraph, if any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, is considered to effectively control the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change in Control; or

		
	(ii)
	The date a majority of the members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board before the date of the appointment or election.

		
	(c)
	Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets.  The date any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions.  For purposes of this paragraph (c), “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets is not treated as a Change in Control if the assets are transferred to:

		
	(i)
	An entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation;

		
	(ii)

SERP BENEFIT
		
	2.1
	Eligibility and Participation.  The Chief Executive Officer, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board may designate those key employees of the Employer as a Participant for a SERP Benefit, provided that participation in the Plan shall be limited to a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Employer (as defined in ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1)) whose most recent date of hire, rehire, or transfer from a union position is prior to January 1, 2015.  An employee may be designated as a Participant for purposes of SERP Benefit A and/or SERP Benefit B.

The Chief Executive Officer, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board shall have the discretion to exclude a Participant from continued participation in the SERP Benefit with such exclusion becoming effective as of the first day of the immediately following Plan Year.  In such event, the Participant shall be eligible to receive a Pension Make-Whole Benefit in lieu of any SERP Benefit that accrued before such exclusion to avoid any duplication of benefits under the Plan.
		
	2.2
	Vesting.  A Participant shall become Vested in the Participant's SERP Benefit upon the earlier of (i) attaining age 60 while employed with an Employer, (ii) death or (iii) a Change in Control.  The Chief Executive Officer, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board has the authority to Vest a Participant who experiences a Separation from Service before age 60 or incurs a disability.  “Disability” shall mean the Participant is eligible for a benefit under the Company’s long-term disability program, as may be in effect from time to time.  In the event a Participant forfeits the SERP benefit due to a Separation from Service before becoming Vested, the Participant shall be entitled to a Pension Make-Whole Benefit, if any, pursuant to Article 3.

		
	2.3
	SERP Benefit A.  SERP Benefit A provides a supplemental pension benefit, the amount of which shall be equal to the greater of (a) or (b), if applicable, subject to (c) below.  

		
	(a)
	The benefit formula described in this paragraph (a) is intended to calculate a supplemental cash balance benefit that will be calculated as if it were held in an account (the “Account Balance”) for the Participant’s credit under the RAP.  This Account Balance is a lump sum amount that increases each year as additional amounts are credited in two ways: a benefit credit and an interest credit.

		
	(i)
	Benefit Credit.  Beginning as early as 1995, for each Plan Year in which a Participant is eligible to accrue a SERP Benefit A, the Participant’s Account Balance will be credited with a benefit credit equal to (i) the “relevant percentage” of the Participant's Pension Eligible Earnings for the Plan Year less (ii) the amount credited to the Participant’s RAP cash 

7

Exhibit 10.1

balance account for such year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant experiences a Separation from Service during the Plan Year, the Participant’s benefit credit will equal the relevant percentage of the Participant’s Pension Eligible Earnings through the Participant’s Separation from Service less the amount credited to the Participant's RAP cash balance account for the same time period.
For purposes of the above, the relevant percentage will be the same percentage as is determined under the RAP for the Plan Year of determination except that to be eligible for a relevant percentage of more than the minimum guaranteed benefit credit as determined under the RAP, the Participant must be actively employed on December 31 of that year.
		
	(ii)
	Interest Credit.  For each Plan Year, the Participant’s Account Balance will receive an interest credit on the Account Balance at the beginning of the year.  This interest credit will be the same percentage that has been applied to the RAP for that year.  If the Participant did not have an Account Balance at the beginning of the year, the Account Balance will not receive an interest credit at the end of the year.  If the Participant has a distribution from the Account Balance, either in whole or in part (under an installment payment or annuity) before December 31, a prorata Interest Credit will be credited for the Plan Year that includes the distribution, determined in the same manner as under the RAP.  Interest credits cease with the commencement of payment.

		
	(b)
	The benefit formula described in this paragraph (b) will be calculated for Participants who were actively employed by an Employer on December 31, 1995 and who were covered under the RAP as of such date, thereby entitling them to a grandfathered pension benefit.  Such Participants will be eligible to have their SERP Benefit A determined under the grandfathered minimum benefit, as described in Appendix A. 

		
	(c)
	The SERP Benefit A provides a benefit for Participants who otherwise would lose benefits under the RAP due to certain limitations for included compensation under the RAP.  Effective January 1, 2008, eligible compensation for determining benefits under the RAP for both the cash balance and grandfathered minimum benefit formulas was expanded to include STPP awards.  As a result of this change, for certain participants, the total benefit payable as a final retirement benefit from both the RAP and this Plan may be fully payable from the RAP under the formula for the grandfathered minimum benefit.  In this case, no further benefit would be payable from this Plan.

		
	2.4
	SERP Benefit B.  SERP Benefit B provides Participants with a life annuity of 10% of the monthly average of the Participant’s Pension Eligible Earnings received from the Employer during whichever period of 36 consecutive months produces the highest monthly average.  The monthly average of Pension Eligible Earnings during such 36 month period includes the monthly average of:

8

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(a)
	any performance award determined under the STPP or any other plan as designated by the Board, calculated as of the date of determination as if then paid in full as base salary, and

		
	(b)
	any amounts of base salary that would have been paid to the Participant during such 36-month period but are not paid due to deferral elections made by the Participant under a savings or other deferred compensation plan.

Effective as of January 1, 2005, no new individuals are eligible to earn a SERP B Benefit.  The provisions relating to SERP Benefit B shall only apply to those Participants who were designated as eligible to earn a SERP Benefit B before January 1, 2005.
ARTICLE 3 
PENSION MAKE-WHOLE BENEFIT
		
	3.1
	Eligibility and Participation.  Participation in the Pension Make-Whole Benefit shall be limited to a select group of management and highly-compensated employees of the Employers whose most recent date of hire, rehire, or transfer from a union position is prior to January 1, 2015, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer, the Board or the Compensation Committee.  From that group, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board or the Compensation Committee shall select employees to participate in the Pension Make-Whole Benefit and shall have the discretionary authority to exclude a Participant from continued participation in the Pension Make-Whole Benefit.  Any such exclusion shall become effective as of the first day of the immediately following Plan Year.  Such Participant shall remain a Participant until the accrued Pension Make-Whole Benefit is paid in full, unless such Participant becomes designated as eligible to earn a SERP Benefit.  

		
	3.2
	Vesting.  Pension Make-Whole Benefits are immediately vested, unless a Participant becomes designated as eligible for a SERP Benefit and Vested in the SERP Benefit.  If a Participant becomes eligible to earn a SERP Benefit and becomes Vested in such benefit, no Pension Make-Whole Benefit shall be paid to such Participant in order to avoid any duplication of supplemental pension benefits provided under the Plan. 

		
	3.3
	Pension Make-Whole Benefit.  The Pension Make-Whole Benefit provided pursuant to this Article shall equal (a) less (b), subject to (c) below: 

		
	(a)
	The pension benefit which would have accrued to the Participant’s credit under the RAP, calculated without regard to IRS Limitations and taking into account:

		
	(i)
	all Base Annual Salary, whether paid and/or deferred to the EDCP, 

		
	(ii)
	STPP awards, whether paid and/or deferred to the EDCP;

		
	(iii)
	any other bonus award which has been approved by the Board, Committee or Chief Executive Officer; and

9

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(iv)
	any MEZ Plan award with respect to reaching the 2005 and/or 2008 MEZ Plan milestone, whether paid and/or deferred to the EDCP.

		
	(b)
	The pension benefit which has actually accrued to the credit of the Participant under the RAP.

		
	(c)
	The Pension Make-Whole Benefit provides a benefit for Participants who otherwise would lose benefits under the RAP due to certain limitations for included compensation under the RAP.  Effective January 1, 2008, eligible compensation for determining benefits under the RAP for both the cash balance and grandfathered minimum benefit formulas was expanded to include STPP awards.  As a result of this change, for certain participants, the total benefit payable as a final retirement benefit from both the RAP and this Plan may be fully payable from the RAP under the formula for the grandfathered minimum benefit.  In this case, no further Pension Make-Whole Benefit would be payable from this Plan.

ARTICLE 4 
TIME AND FORM OF PAYMENT
		
	4.1
	Application of Time and Form of Payment Provisions.  The provisions of this Article apply to all supplemental pension benefits provided pursuant to Article 2 and Article 3, unless otherwise specified pursuant to a separate written agreement. 

		
	4.2
	Time for Distribution.  Distribution of a Participant’s SERP Benefit or Pension Make-Whole Benefit shall be made following the earliest to occur of:  

		
	(a)
	The Participant’s Separation from Service; or

		
	(b)
	The Participant’s death.

Payment shall be paid or begin to be paid by the end of the Plan Year in which the distribution event occurs or, if later, by the 15th day of the third month following the event.  If an Annual Installment Method is in effect, the second installment payment shall be made within the first 90 days of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the first installment payment was made and subsequent installment payments shall be made thereafter during the first 90 days of the Plan Year in which the installment is due. 
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, distributions made to “specified employees” (determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‐(a)) upon a Separation from Service for any reason other than death shall be paid or begin to be paid as of the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  If a monthly annuity is payable, the monthly payments otherwise scheduled to be made pending such six-month delay will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum payment as of the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  No interest shall be payable on any amounts delayed due to the Participant’s status as a specified employee.

10

Exhibit 10.1

		
	4.3
	Payment Form.  The form in which a Participant’s benefit shall be paid is dependent upon the Participant’s accrued benefit value determined as of the first day of the month following the distribution event (the “determination date”), even if such payment is delayed for a specified employee pursuant to Section 4.2.

		
	(a)
	Separation from Service or Death. 

		
	(i)
	A Participant whose accrued benefit is $75,000 or less as of the determination date, payment shall be made in a lump sum.

		
	(ii)
	A Participant whose accrued benefit is greater than $75,000 may elect, pursuant to Section 4.4, to receive payment:

		
	(A)
	in any number of installments between five and ten, using the Annual Installment Method to determine the amount of each installment, or

		
	(B)
	in the form of a life annuity.

A Participant electing to receive payment in the form of a life annuity may select among actuarially equivalent life annuities, the forms of which shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Actuarial equivalence shall be determined using the factors then in effect under the RAP.  Such annuity selection may be made at the time distribution of the Participant's benefit is to begin without such selection being treated as a subsequent change in election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).  In the event a Participant elected a life annuity but does not make a selection as to the specific annuity form, payment shall be made in the form of a single life annuity for unmarried Participants or a joint and 50% survivor annuity for married Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no valid Election Form is in effect upon the distribution event, then payment shall be made in (1) a lump sum if the value of a Participant’s accrued benefit falls within the payment tier described in clause (i) and (2) five installments using the Annual Installment Method to determine the amount of each installment if the value of a Participant’s accrued benefit falls within the payment tier described in clause (ii).
		
	(b)
	Separation from Service After Change in Control.  A lump sum payment shall be made upon a Separation from Service that occurs within 18 months following a Change in Control.  Such lump sum payment shall be in an amount equal to the then present value of all benefits then accrued under this Plan, calculated using (i) an interest rate equal to a 36 consecutive month average, using the rates as of the last business day of each month (the "Month End Rate"), of the five-year United States Treasury Note yields (the "36 Month Average Rate") in effect ending with the Month End Rate immediately prior to the month in which the Separation from Service occurred as such yield is reported in the Wall Street

11

Exhibit 10.1

Journal or comparable publication, and (ii) the mortality table used for purposes of determining lump sum amounts then in use under the RAP.
		
	4.4
	Election Form Requirements.  

		
	(a)
	Election Timing Generally.  At the times indicated below, a Participant may file with the Committee an Election Form indicating the desired form of payment in the event the Participant’s benefit has a value greater than $75,000. 

		
	(i)
	Participants eligible for a SERP Benefit A or Pension Make-Whole Benefit may file an Election Form with the Committee no later than January 30th of the Plan Year immediately following the first Plan Year in which the Participant began to accrue either benefit.  An Election Form is irrevocable as of January 30 of such Plan Year.  

		
	(ii)
	SERP Benefit B Participants must file an Election Form with the Committee before the beginning of the first Plan Year in which a benefit is accrued.  An Election Form is irrevocable as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the benefit first accrues.  

		
	(b)
	Changes to Elected Form of Payment.  A Participant may elect to change the form of payment for amounts that are subject to an election that is irrevocable.

		
	(i)
	A Participant who has an installment form of payment in effect may change such election to an annuity payment, provided the annuity commencement date shall be deferred to a date that is at least five years after the date the initial installment payment would otherwise have commenced.

		
	(ii)
	A Participant who has an annuity payment election in effect may change such election to an installment form of payment, provided that the first installment payment shall be deferred to a date that is at least five years after the date the annuity payments would otherwise have commenced.

		
	(iii)
	A Participant who has an installment election in effect may change the number of installments, provided that the first installment payment shall be deferred to a date that is at least five years after the date the initial installment payment would otherwise have commenced.

Any such election changes pursuant to this paragraph shall be completed in accordance with Committee rules and must be made at least 12 months before the event triggering distribution occurs.  Therefore, if the event triggering distribution occurs before such 12 month period has elapsed, then the election to change the payment form shall not take effect.
		
	(c)
	Elections Pursuant to §409A Transition Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, on or before December 31, 2008, Participants may make or change payment form elections consistent with transition relief provided 

12

Exhibit 10.1

by the Department of the Treasury in Notice 2006-79, Notice 2007-86 and proposed regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A.  If a Participant makes such an election or change, then the last election validly in effect as of December 31, 2008 shall be treated as the “initial” election.  Participants whose SERP Benefit A vested and began to be paid on and after January 1, 2005 and before January 1, 2009, received either the default payment form of a joint and survivor annuity payment or an actuarial equivalent form of annuity payment, as provided under the Legacy Plan’s form of payment provisions.  In addition, a Participant who began to be paid any portion of the Participant's Pension Make-Whole Benefit that is subject to Code Section 409A on and after January 1, 2005 and before January 1, 2009, received payment of such benefit in the form selected pursuant to the Participant's timely filed election(s), or if none, in a lump sum, as provided under the Legacy Plan.
		
	4.5
	Discretion to Accelerate Distribution.

		
	(a)
	The Committee shall have the discretion to make a distribution, or accelerate the time or schedule of payment of a Participant’s vested accrued benefit if payment is required for:

		
	(i)
	FICA, FUTA and/or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state and local taxes with respect to compensation accrued under the Plan.  Any such distribution shall not exceed the aggregate of such tax withholding and shall reduce the Participant’s accrued vested benefit to the extent of such distributions; or

		
	(ii)
	payment of state, local or foreign tax obligations arising from participation in the Plan that apply to an amount accrued under the Plan and FUTA resulting from such payment.  Any such payment shall not exceed the amount of such taxes due as a result of Plan participation.   

		
	(b)
	The Committee or a Plan representative is authorized to accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan to an individual other than the Participant, or to make a payment under the Plan to an individual other than the Participant, to the extent necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)).  Payment to an alternate payee under a domestic relations order shall be made in a lump sum within 90 days after the Committee or Plan representative approves such order.

		
	(c)
	The Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan if the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations promulgated thereunder, provided that any such payment does not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure.

Exhibit 10.1

ARTICLE 5 
DEATH BENEFITS
		
	5.1
	Death While In Pay Status or After a Separation from Service.  

		
	(a)
	Death After Payment Commencement.

		
	(i)
	Lump Sum.  If the Participant dies after the lump sum payment is made by the Plan, no further payments shall be made from the Plan. 

		
	(ii)
	Installment Payments.  If the Participant dies after installment payments begin, but before the entire benefit is paid in full, the Participant’s unpaid benefit payments shall continue to be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary over the remaining number of years as that benefit would have been paid to the Participant had the Participant survived.  

		
	(iii)
	Joint and Survivor Annuity.  If payments to the Participant have begun under a joint and survivor annuity and the Participant then dies, the Participant’s spouse shall begin receiving the survivor annuity payments for the spouse's life.

		
	(iv)
	Single Annuity.  If payments to the Participant have begun under a single life annuity and the Participant then dies, all payments shall cease upon the Participant’s death.

		
	(b)
	Death After Separation from Service but Before Payment Commencement.

In the event a Participant dies after a Separation from Service and before payment of the Participant's benefit is scheduled to be made, whether a benefit is paid to a Beneficiary will depend on the form of payment the Participant was scheduled to receive, determined as follows:
		
	(i)
	Lump Sum or Installment Payments.  If payment to the Participant was scheduled to be made in a lump sum or installments, payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be made or begin to be made pursuant to the Participant’s election during the first 90 days of the Plan Year following the Plan Year of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

		
	(ii)
	Joint and Survivor Annuity.  If payment to the Participant was scheduled to be made in a joint and 50% survivor annuity, the Participant’s spouse shall begin receiving the survivor annuity payments at the time the Participant would have begun receiving payments had the Participant survived.

		
	(iii)
	Single Annuity.  If payment to the Participant was scheduled to be made in a single life annuity, no further payment shall be made following the Participant’s death.

14

Exhibit 10.1

		
	5.2
	Death Prior to a Separation from Service.  If a Participant dies prior to a Separation from Service, the Participant’s benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum by the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant dies or, if later, by the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s death, regardless of whether the Participant is a specified employee.

ARTICLE 6 
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
		
	6.1
	Beneficiary.  Each Participant may, at any time, designate one or more Beneficiaries (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the Participant's death.  The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.

		
	6.2
	Beneficiary Designation; Change.  A Participant shall designate a Beneficiary by completing a beneficiary designation form established by the Committee or its delegate, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. To the extent authorized by the Committee, such form may be electronic or set forth in some other media or format.  A Participant may change a Beneficiary designation by completing and otherwise complying with the terms of the beneficiary designation form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.  Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new beneficiary designation form, all Beneficiary designations previously submitted shall be canceled.  The Committee shall rely on the last completed beneficiary designation form submitted by the Participant before the Participant's death.  In the event of a Participant's divorce, any designation of the Participant's former spouse as a Beneficiary shall be deemed void unless after the divorce the Participant completes a new designation naming such former spouse as a Beneficiary.

		
	6.3
	Acknowledgment.  No Beneficiary designation or change in Beneficiary designation shall be effective until accepted by the Committee or a Plan representative.

		
	6.4
	No Beneficiary Designation.  If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in this Article 6 or, if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die before complete distribution of the Participant’s benefit (applicable only if an installment payment is in effect), then the Participant's remaining benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if none, to the Participant's descendants by right of representation or, if none, to the Participant's next of kin determined pursuant to the laws of the state in which the Company's principal place of business is located as if the Participant had died unmarried and intestate.  

		
	6.5
	Doubt as to Beneficiary.  If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments under this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant’s Employer to withhold such payments until the matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.

15

Exhibit 10.1

		
	6.6
	Discharge of Obligations.  The complete payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and the Participant’s Election Form shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits.

ARTICLE 7 
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION
		
	7.1
	Termination.

		
	(a)
	Although each Employer anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that an Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future.  Accordingly, each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its participation in the Plan and/or to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to all of its Participants, by action of its board of directors or compensation committee.  The termination of the Plan shall not reduce the amount of any benefit to which the Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to receive under the Plan as of the termination date.  Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, benefits shall be maintained under the Plan until such amounts would otherwise have been distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Participants’ validly filed payment elections.

		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, upon termination of the Plan, the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee reserves the discretion to accelerate distribution of Participants’ benefits (including those Participants in pay status) in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Department of the Treasury under Code Section 409A.

		
	7.2
	Amendment.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, amend or modify the Plan at any time, in whole or in part, by action of its Board, Compensation Committee or the Committee; provided, however, that (i) no amendment shall decrease the amount of a Participant’s accrued benefit in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, and (ii) no amendment shall adversely affect any benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary has become entitled as of the date of the amendment, in either case, without the Participant's consent.  Further, during the pendency of a Potential Change in Control (as defined below) and at all times following a Change in Control, no amendment or modification may be made which in any way adversely affects the interests of any Participant with respect to benefits accrued as of the date of the amendment.  A “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if one of the following events occurs:

		
	(a)
	The Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;

		
	(b)
	The Company or any Person publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control;

16

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(c)
	Any Person becomes the Beneficial Owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of Stock representing 15% or more of either the then outstanding shares of stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Stock (not including the Stock beneficially owned by such Person or any Stock acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates); or

		
	(d)
	The Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Plan, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

Except as otherwise noted, the capitalized terms in the above definition have the same meaning as set forth in Section 1.5.  The Company’s power to amend or modify the Plan includes the power to suspend or freeze participation in the Plan, provided such suspension or freeze does not cause a prohibited acceleration of compensation under Code Section 409A.  In such circumstance, the Company may, in its sole discretion, rescind such modification at any time, provided such action is taken consistent with Code Section 409A.  Such action may be taken by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee or the Committee.
		
	7.3
	Effect of Payment.  The full payment of the Participant’s benefit under any provision of the Plan shall completely discharge the Plan’s and Employer’s obligations to the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiaries under this Plan.

ARTICLE 8 
ADMINISTRATION
		
	8.1
	Plan Administration.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8 and as specifically referenced in the Plan, the Compensation Committee has delegated administration of the Plan to the Committee.  Members of the Committee may be Participants under this Plan.  Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to such individual.  The Chief Executive Officer may not act on any matter involving such officer’s own participation in the Plan.  All references to the Committee shall be deemed to include reference to the Chief Executive Officer.

		
	8.2
	Powers, Duties and Procedures.  The Committee (or the Chief Executive Officer if such individual chooses to so act) shall have full and complete discretionary authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of the Plan, as may arise in connection with the claims procedures set forth in Article 9 or otherwise with regard to the Plan.  The Committee shall have complete control and authority to determine the rights and benefits of all claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any Participant or Beneficiary or other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan.  When making a determination or calculation, the Committee may rely on information furnished by a Participant or the Employer.  Benefits under the Plan shall be paid only if the Committee decides in its sole discretion that the Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to them.  The 

17

Exhibit 10.1

Committee or the Chief Executive Officer may delegate such powers and duties as it determines for the efficient administration of the Plan.  
		
	8.3
	Administration Upon Change In Control.  For purposes of this Plan, the Company shall be the “Administrator” at all times before a Change in Control.  Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator shall be an independent third party selected by the individual who, at any time before such event, was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or, if there is no such officer or such officer does not act, by the Company’s then highest ranking officer (the “Appointing Officer”).  Upon a Change in Control, the Administrator shall have full and complete discretionary power to determine all questions arising in connection with the administration of the Plan and the interpretation of the Plan and Trust including, but not limited to, benefit entitlement determinations.  Upon and after a Change in Control, the Company shall (i) pay all reasonable administrative expenses and fees of the Administrator, (ii) indemnify the Administrator against any costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) of whatever kind and nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrator in connection with the performance of the duties hereunder, except with respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator or its employees or agents, and (iii) supply full and timely information to the Administrator on all matters relating to the Plan, the Trust, the Participants and their Beneficiaries, the benefits of the Participants, including the dates of disability, death or Separation from Service and such other pertinent information as the Administrator may reasonably require. Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator may be terminated (and a replacement appointed) only by an Appointing Officer.  Upon and after a Change in Control, the Administrator may not be terminated by the Company.

		
	8.4
	Agents.  In the administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to an Employer.

		
	8.5
	Binding Effect of Decisions.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee or its delegate shall have complete discretion to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan.  Any such interpretation shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants, Beneficiaries and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Committee acted arbitrarily and capriciously. 

		
	8.6
	Indemnity of Committee.  All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee, and any other employee to whom the duties of the Committee may be delegated, and the Administrator, as defined in Section 8.3, against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee, any of its members or any such employee or the Administrator.

		
	8.7
	Employer Information.  To enable the Committee and/or Administrator to perform its functions, each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on 

18

Exhibit 10.1

all matters relating to the compensation of its Participants, the dates of the disability, death or Separation from Service and such other pertinent information as the Committee may reasonably require.
		
	8.8
	Coordination with Other Benefits.  The benefits provided to a Participant and the Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of an Employer.  The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

ARTICLE 9 
CLAIMS PROCEDURES
		
	9.1
	Presentation of Claim.  Any Participant or Beneficiary (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for benefits.  If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within 90 days after such notice was received by the Claimant.  All other claims shall be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred.  The claim shall state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.  A claim shall be considered to have been made when a written communication made by the Claimant or the Claimant’s representative is received by the Committee.  

		
	9.2
	Decision on Initial Claim.  The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim and provide written notice to the Claimant of any denial within a reasonable time, but no later than 90 days after receipt of the claim.  If an extension of time beyond the initial 90-day period for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be provided to the Claimant before the initial 90-day period expires indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render a final decision.  In no event shall the period, as extended, exceed 180 days.  If the Committee denies, in whole or in part, the claim, the notice shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

		
	(i)
	The specific reasons for the denial of the claim, or any part thereof;

		
	(ii)
	Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which such denial was based;

		
	(iii)
	A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

		
	(iv)
	An explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 9.3 below, which explanation shall also include a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a denial of the claim upon review.

19

Exhibit 10.1

		
	9.3
	Right to Review.  A Claimant is entitled to appeal any claim that has been denied in whole or in part.  To do so, the Claimant must submit a written request for review with the Committee within 60 days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part.  Absent receipt by the Committee of a written request for review within such 60-day period, the claim shall be deemed to be conclusively denied.  The Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may:

		
	(a)
	Review and/or receive copies of, upon request and free of charge, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim;

		
	(b)
	Submit written comments, documents, records or other information relating to the Claimant's claim, which the Committee shall take into account in considering the claim on review, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial review of the claim; and/or

		
	(c)
	Request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

If a Claimant requests to review and/or receive copies of relevant information pursuant to paragraph (a) above before filing a written request for review, the 60-day period for submitting the written request for review will be tolled during the period beginning on the date the Claimant makes such request and ending on the date the Claimant reviews or receives such relevant information.
		
	9.4
	Decision on Review.  The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and not later than 60 days after it receives a written request for review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time.  In such case, the Committee will notify the Claimant, before the expiration of the initial 60-day period and in writing, of the need for additional time, the reason the additional time is necessary, and the date (no later than 60 days after expiration of the initial 60-day period) by which the Committee expects to render its decision on review.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee determines that an extension of the initial 60-day period is required due to the Claimant's failure to submit information necessary for the Committee to decide the claim, the time period by which the Committee must make its determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.  The decision on review shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and shall contain:

		
	(a)
	Specific reasons for the decision;

		
	(b)
	Specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; 

		
	(c)
	A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records or other information relevant (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560.503-1(m)(8)) to the Claimant’s claim;

20

Exhibit 10.1

		
	(d)
	A statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a wholly or partially denied claim for benefits; and

		
	(e)
	Such other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

		
	9.5
	Form of Notice and Decision.  Any notice or decision by the Committee under this Article 9 may be furnished electronically in accordance with Department of Labor Regulation Section 2520.104b-(1)(c)(i), (iii) and (iv).

		
	9.6
	Legal Action.  Any final decision by the Committee shall be binding on all parties.  A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan.  Any such legal action must be initiated no later than 180 days after the Committee renders its final decision.  If a final determination of the Committee is challenged in court, such determination shall not be subject to de novo review and shall not be overturned unless proven to be arbitrary and capricious based on the evidence considered by the Committee at the time of such determination.

ARTICLE 10 
TRUST
		
	10.1
	Establishment of the Trust.  The Company may establish a Trust and, if established, each Employer shall contribute such amounts to the Trust from time to time as it deems desirable.

		
	10.2
	Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust.  The provisions of the Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan.  The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust.  Each Employer shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan.

		
	10.3
	Distributions From the Trust.  Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

ARTICLE 11 
MISCELLANEOUS
		
	11.1
	Status of Plan.  The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that is unfunded for tax purposes and “is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” (within the meaning of ERISA).  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent.

		
	11.2
	Unsecured General Creditor.  Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of an Employer, Company or of any other person and nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any employee or any other person such rights.  The Plan constitutes a 

21

Exhibit 10.1

mere promise by the Company or Employer to make payments in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Participants and Beneficiaries shall have the status of general unsecured creditors solely of the Employer employing the Participant. 
		
	11.3
	Employer’s Liability.  The amount of an Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and any Election Forms, as entered into between the Employer and a Participant.  An Employer shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan.

		
	11.4
	Nonassignability.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable to the maximum extent allowed by law.  No part of the amounts payable shall, before actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor shall any part of the same, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or, except as provided in Section 4.5(b), be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

		
	11.5
	Not a Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant.  Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement between an Employer and a Participant.  Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer as an employee, or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time, with or without cause, or to modify the Base Annual Salary or annual or long-term performance award at any time.  

		
	11.6
	Furnishing Information.  A Participant or Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder.

		
	11.7
	Receipt and Release.  Any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Employer, the Committee and a trustee (if any) under the Plan, and the Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.  

		
	11.8
	Incompetent.  If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling disposition of that person's property, the Committee may direct payment of such 

22

Exhibit 10.1

benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person.  The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the Account of the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.  
		
	11.9
	Governing Law and Severability.  To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed, administered and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.  If any provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.  

		
	11.10
	Notices and Communications.  All notices, statements, reports and other communications from the Committee to any employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person required or permitted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered to, when transmitted via facsimile or other electronic media or when mailed overnight or by first-class mail, postage prepaid and addressed to, such employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person at last known address on the Employer’s or Company’s records.  All elections, designations, requests, notices, instructions and other communications from a Participant, Beneficiary or other person to the Committee required or permitted under the Plan shall be in such form as is prescribed from time to time by the Committee, and shall be mailed by first-class mail, transmitted via facsimile or other electronic media or delivered to such location as shall be specified by the Committee.  Such communication shall be deemed to have been given and delivered only upon actual receipt by the Committee at such location.

		
	11.11
	Successors.  The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

		
	11.12
	Insurance.  An Employer, on its own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in its sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Employer may choose.  The Employer or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance.  The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employer shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employer has applied for insurance.  The Participant may elect not to be insured.

		
	11.13
	Legal Fees To Enforce Rights After Change in Control.  The Employer is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board (which might then be composed of new members) or a shareholder of the Employer, or of any successor corporation, might then cause or attempt to cause the Employer or such successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to cause the Employer to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny Participants the benefits intended 

23

Exhibit 10.1

under the Plan.  In these circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could be frustrated.  Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control, it should appear to any Participant that the Employer or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if the Employer or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Employer irrevocably authorizes such Participant to retain counsel of the Participant's choice at the expense of the Employer (who shall be jointly and severally liable for all reasonable fees of such counsel) to represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Employer or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction.  If paid by the Participant, the Employer shall reimburse such legal fees no later than December 31st of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred.
		
	11.14
	Terms.  Whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

		
	11.15
	Headings.  Headings and subheadings in the Plan are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

Exhibit 10.1

APPENDIX A
GRANDFATHERED MINIMUM BENEFITS FOR PARTICIPANTS WHO ON DECEMBER 31, 1995 WERE BOTH ACTIVELY EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY AND COVERED UNDER THE WE RETIREMENT ACCOUNT PLAN
A Participant who was actively employed by the Company on December 31, 1995 and who was then covered by the WE Retirement Account Plan and who continued as an active employee of the Company until commencement of benefits under the WE Retirement Account Plan, shall be eligible for the Benefit A Grandfather Alternative.  The Benefit A Grandfather Alternative will be equal to the greater of (x) or (y), where:  
		
	(x)
	is the benefit that would have accrued for such Participant under the provisions of the special formula minimum retirement income grandfather sections (the “Grandfathered Benefit Provisions”) of the WE Retirement Account Plan, if the WE Retirement Account Plan were administered using all Pension Eligible Earnings as defined in this Plan, less the amount of the qualified pension benefit that such Participant would be actually entitled to receive were the Grandfathered Benefit Provisions of the WE Retirement Account Plan applied, and

		
	(y)
	is the benefit that would have accrued for such Participant under the provisions of the cash balance formula of the WE Retirement Account Plan, if the WE Retirement Account Plan was administered using all Pension Eligible Earnings as defined in this Plan, less the amount of the qualified benefit that such Participant would be actually entitled to receive under the cash balance formula of the WE Retirement Account Plan were such formula applied.

Credited service and Pension Eligible Earnings after December 31, 2010, will not be used to calculate this Benefit A Grandfather Alternative, but existing early retirement reductions based upon the Participant’s age and service applicable to the Grandfathered Benefit Provisions will continue in accordance with the terms of the WE Retirement Account Plan.
An example of the Benefit A Grandfather Alternative is as follows:
Assume the Participant actually receives a cash payment at retirement from the WE Retirement Account Plan of $380,000.  At the time the Participant receives that benefit, calculations are made to convert the formula (x) benefit above into a lump sum amount that is the actuarial equivalent of a life annuity for the life of the Participant commencing at the later of age 60 or the Participant’s age at benefit commencement.  This is accomplished in three steps.  First, the portion of the formula (x) benefit calculated using all Pension Eligible Earnings is multiplied by the early retirement reduction factor as determined under the WE Retirement Account Plan.  Secondly, the resulting benefit is converted into a lump sum actuarial equivalent ($1,450,000 in the illustration below) of the life annuity form described above, with actuarial equivalency determined for this purpose by using the interest rate and mortality table referenced in Article VII (with such interest rate to be that in effect on the last business day on the month prior to payment).  Thirdly, the value of the lump sum to which the Participant would actually be entitled 

A-1

Exhibit 10.1

under the WE Retirement Account were the Grandfathered Benefit Provisions applied is subtracted ($350,000 in the illustration below) to obtain the formula (x) net lump sum amount ($1,100,000 in the illustration below).  Calculations are also made under formula (y) which compare the lump sum account balance that would have been generated for the Participant using all Pension Eligible Earnings under the regular cash balance formula of the WE Retirement Account Plan ($520,000 in the illustration below) with the actual lump sum account balance that would be payable to the Participant were the regular cash balance formula applied ($380,000 in the illustration below).  The following comparisons result:
WE Retirement Account Plan:
Cash Balance Formula        $380,000
Grandfather Formula         350,000
SERP Benefit A Grandfather Alternative, calculated under:
Cash Balance Formula        $   520,000
Grandfather Formula                  1,450,000
Actual SERP Benefit A Grandfather is $1,100,000, which is the greater of
            2(a) - 1(a) [$140,000] or 2(b) - 1(b) [$1,100,000].
