EXHIBIT 10-c 
 
AMSOUTH BANCORPORATION 
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN 
amended and restated as of December
18, 2002 
 
AmSouth Bancorporation, with its principal offices
located at Birmingham, Alabama (“Sponsor”) is currently the sponsor of the AmSouth Bancorporation Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) in order to provide retirement benefits to its employees and the employees of its participating
subsidiaries. 
 
Effective January 1, 1983 and pursuant to Section
3(36) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), AmSouth Bank N.A., an Employer under the Retirement Plan, adopted a supplemental retirement benefit program solely for the purpose of providing benefits in excess of
the limitations on benefits under the Retirement Plan imposed by Section 415 (“Section 415”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended at the date hereof and known as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (amended from time to time, the
“Code”), to certain individuals under the Retirement Plan whose benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited by Section 415. 
 
Effective January 1, 1989, Section 401(a)(17) (“Section 401(a)(17)”) of the Code limited the amount of compensation which may be taken into
account in determining benefits from the Retirement Plan. Therefore, AmSouth Bank N.A. amended and restated this supplemental retirement plan effective January 1, 1989 so that it provided benefits in excess of the limitations on benefits under the
Retirement Plan imposed not only by Section 415, but also by Section 401(a)(17), to a select group of management or highly compensated employees whose benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited by Section 415 and/or Section 401(a)(17).

 
Effective January 1, 1991, additional persons were added to this
select group of management or highly compensated employees, some of whom were employees of subsidiaries of the Sponsor other than AmSouth Bank N.A. AmSouth Bank N.A. amended and restated its supplemental plan, AmSouth Bancorporation adopted the
supplemental plan for itself and its subsidiaries who choose to have their eligible employees covered by the supplemental plan (“Electing Employers”), and AmSouth Bank N.A. became an Electing Employer under the supplemental plan.

 
Effective January 1, 1994, additional persons were added to the
select group of management or highly compensated employees. 
 
Effective January 1, 1995, the eligibility provisions of the plan were changed and a revised definition of compensation was added to the plan for certain participants. 
 
Effective January 1, 2001, the First American Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “FAC
Program”) was merged with and into this supplemental plan to coincide with the merger of the First American Corporation Master Retirement Plan with and into the AmSouth Bancorporation Retirement Plan effective January 1, 2001. 
 
Effective January 1, 2002, section 7.07 of the Plan was re-numbered as section
7.08 and a new section 7.07 concerning the form of notification of denial of benefits and claimants’ right to appeal a decision to deny a claim was added. 
 
AmSouth Bancorporation hereby amends and restates this supplemental plan as set forth below.

BENEFITS UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN 
 
Section 3.01.    Benefits payable under this Supplemental Plan to or on behalf of a Participant who retires
after January 1, 1995, shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (A) less (B) (the “Excess Benefits”) where (A) is such Participant’s benefits as a Member of the Retirement Plan calculated without reference to any provision of the
Retirement Plan limiting the amount of benefits as provided by Section 415 of the Code or limiting the amount of compensation taken into account as provided by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and further calculated by substituting the definition of
“Monthly Earnings” set forth in this Section 3.01 in place of the definition of such term in the Retirement Plan, and (B) is the amount of benefits actually payable under the Retirement Plan. For purposes of this Section 3.01 only,
“Monthly Earnings” shall mean the sum of (i) the Participant’s regular basic monthly earnings prior to the effect of elections under any plan or plans maintained by the Sponsor or an 

 

Electing Employer which are within the scope of Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code, and (ii) one-twelfth of the bonus earned by a Participant
under the Executive Incentive Plan, or other incentive plans maintained by Sponsor, for the particular Plan Year, including Plan Years prior to January 1, 1995 (regardless of whether the bonus is in fact paid in a subsequent year). If a Participant
retires, dies or becomes permanently disabled prior to the time when the amount of the bonus for that Plan Year has been determined, Monthly Earnings for the months in such Plan Year shall be calculated using an estimate of such bonus determined by
the AmSouth Bancorporation Compensation Committee based on information regarding the Sponsor’s and Participant’s performance as of the date of determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AmSouth Bancorporation Compensation Committee
shall have the authority in its sole discretion to adjust the amount of the bonus taken into consideration in the definition of Monthly Earnings in this Section 3.01 for any and all Plan Years regardless of the fact that the adjusted bonus is higher
or lower than the bonus actually paid a Participant under the Executive Incentive Plan or other incentive plans maintained by Sponsor. 
 
Section 3.02.    Except as provided in Section 3.01 above, a Participant’s Excess Benefits shall be
calculated in the same manner regularly applied by the Sponsor to all of the relevant terms and conditions of the Retirement Plan. 
 
Section 3.03.    A Participant’s Excess Benefits shall be paid at the time, in the manner and to the
person when, as and to whom or which the benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant as a Member of the Retirement Plan which give rise to Participant’s Excess Benefits are paid or in such manner otherwise approved by the Board of
Directors of the Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, accrued benefits of five thousand dollars ($5000) or less shall be paid in a lump sum, and payments made due to termination as a result of a Change of Control as defined in
Section 3.05 below, shall be paid in a lump sum. 
 
Section 3.04.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all benefits accrued to Participants in the FAC Program through December 31, 2000, shall be calculated using the FAC Program terms and
conditions as in effect December 31, 2000 and such benefits shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the FAC Program, including but not limited to the terms and conditions governing the distribution of such benefits; provided, however, that
accrued benefits of five thousand dollars ($5000) or less shall be paid in a lump sum, and payments made due to termination as a result of a Change of Control as defined in Section 3.05 below, shall be paid in a lump sum Effective December 31, 2000
benefit accruals under the terms of the FAC Program shall cease. The FAC Program benefits shall not be less than the accrued benefits under the terms of the FAC Program immediately preceding the merger of the FAC Program into the Plan. A copy of the
FAC Program as of December 31, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Effective January 1, 2001, all benefits will be calculated under the terms and conditions of the Supplemental Plan from January 1, 2001 forward. 
 
Section 3.05.    Notwithstanding
anything in the Supplemental Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant is employed by the Sponsor (or any entity that must be treated as a single employer with the Sponsor pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code) at the
time of a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Participant shall (regardless of whether he has become a Retiree or attained age fifty-five (55) on the date of his termination of employment) be entitled to a lump sum payment of a retirement
benefit under the Supplemental Plan (determined as if he were to become a Retiree upon termination of employment) if the Participant’s employment with the Sponsor (or any entity that must be treated as a single employer with the Sponsor
pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code) terminates within two (2) years after a Change in Control has occurred. 
 
For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean: 
 
(a)  The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a ”Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of

Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Sponsor entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the
Sponsor, (ii) any acquisition by the Sponsor, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored, maintained by the Sponsor or any corporation controlled by the Sponsor or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant
to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this section; or 
 
(b)  Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Sponsor’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or 
 
(c)  Consummation of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sponsor (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent
(60%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting
from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Sponsor or all or substantially all of the Sponsor’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation
resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan or related trust of the Sponsor or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, twenty (20%) or more of, respectively, the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that the such ownership existed prior
to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement,
or the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

benefits, costs, charges and expenses.

PARTICIPANT INTEREST 
 
Section
5.01.    The interest of the Participant and/or any person claiming by or through him under the Supplemental Plan shall be solely that of an unsecured general creditor of the Sponsor and the Electing Employers. The Excess
Benefits payable under the Supplemental Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Sponsor and the Electing Employers (including assets held in the Trust), and neither the Participant nor any person claiming by or through him shall have
any right to look to any specific property separate from such general assets in satisfaction of any claim for payment of Excess Benefits. 
 
Section 5.02.    In all respects any Excess Benefits shall be independent of, and in addition to, any other
benefits or compensation of any sort, payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any other arrangement sponsored by the Sponsor or Electing Employers or any other agreement between the Sponsor or Electing Employer and the Participant in any
capacity.

be subject to the provisions of Section 7.02 below. 
 
ARTICLE VII 
 
MISCELLANEOUS 
 
Section
7.01.    The Supplemental Plan may be amended or discontinued by the Sponsor, and may be amended by the Committee at any time except as provided in Section 7.02 below. The Sponsor may designate additional Participants under
the Supplemental Plan or remove persons as Participants under the Supplemental Plan at any time except as provided in Section 7.02 below. 
 
Section 7.02.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.02 or 7.01: 
 
(a)  Excess Benefits which are in pay status shall
not be discontinued under any circumstances prior to their natural termination pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Plan at the time of the relevant amendment or discontinuance of the Supplemental Plan, the removal of Participants or the
withdrawal by an Electing Employer. 
 
(b)  Excess Benefits hereunder which have been accrued prior to the date of any amendment or discontinuation of the Supplemental Plan, the removal of a Participant or the withdrawal of an Electing Employer shall remain a
binding obligation of the Sponsor and Electing Employer or any successor in interest to either of them, and no amendment or discontinuation of the Supplemental Plan, removal of a Participant or withdrawal by an Electing Employer shall deprive a
Participant of said accrued Excess Benefit. 
 

 
Section
7.03.    The Supplemental Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Sponsor or the Electing Employer and any Participant or employee, or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any
Participant or employee. Nothing contained in the Supplemental Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or employee the right to be retained in the service of the Sponsor or Electing Employer or to interfere with the right of the Sponsor or
Electing Employer to discharge any Participant or employee at any time regardless of the effect which such discharge shall or may have upon him under the Supplemental Plan. 
 
Section 7.04.    None of the Participant’s rights to Excess Benefits under
the Supplemental Plan are subject to the claims of creditors of a Participant or any person claiming by or through him and will not be subject to attachment, garnishment or any other legal process. Neither a Participant nor any person claiming by or
through him may assign, sell, borrow on or otherwise encumber any of his beneficial interest under the Supplemental Plan nor shall any such interest be in any manner liable for or subject to the deeds, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of
a Participant or any person claiming by or through him. 
 
Section 7.05.    The Supplemental Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, except where such laws are superseded by ERISA, in which case ERISA shall control.

 
Section 7.06.    In
making any distribution to or for the benefit of any minor or incompetent person, the Plan Administrator, in its sole, absolute and uncontrolled discretion, may, but need not, direct such distribution to a legal or natural guardian or other relative
of such minor or court appointed committee of such incompetent, or to any adult with whom such minor or incompetent temporarily or permanently resides, and any such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall have full authority and
discretion to expend such distribution for the use and benefit of such minor or incompetent. The receipt of such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Sponsor and Electing Employer without any
responsibility on its part or on the part of the Plan Administrator to see to the application thereof. 
 
Section 7.07.    Any participant may file a claim for benefits. If the claim is denied, the claimant shall be
provided written notice within 90 days with: 
 

	 	•	 	Specific reasons for the denial 

 

	 	•	 	Specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based 

 

	 	•	 	A description of any additional information needed and why it is needed; and 

 

	 	•	 	An explanation of (1) the procedures and time limits for an appeal, (2) the right to obtain information about the procedures and (3) the right to sue in federal

If there are special
circumstances delaying the determination of the claim, the claimant may be notified within the 90 day period explaining the special circumstances and stating that an answer will be provided within 90 more days. If an answer is not received within
the 90 days (or 180 days if an extension notice has been provided) the claim shall be deemed denied. 
 
Any claimant for a benefit (or, as applicable, his or her estate or other representative or beneficiary) may, within sixty (60) days after
receipt of a letter of denial appeal to the Claims Review Committee, by writing to the Head of Human Resources of the plan sponsor and may request a review of the denial of the benefit, with opportunity to submit his or her position in writing.
Appeals not timely filed shall be barred. 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 his or her claim

 

	 	•	 	submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, which will be considered without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial determination 

 

 
The Claims
Review Committee shall meet quarterly on the third Thursday in the months of February, May, August, and November or such other time as the Claims Review Committee shall determine, provided that a claim is pending. If a claim is received by the
Claims Review Committee at least thirty (30) days before a quarterly meeting, such appeal will be considered at that meeting; otherwise, such appeal will be considered at the first subsequent quarterly meeting. If there are special circumstances,
the decision may be delayed until the third meeting following receipt of the request. If special circumstances require an extension, the claimant will be notified. 
 
The Claims Review Committee will render a written decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant, and mail the written decision to the claimant at the claimant’s last address known to the plan sponsor, specifying by reference to the Plan the reasons for denial of such part or all of the claimed benefit as it denies upon
review. Such letter shall state 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 claim; describe the Plan’s voluntary appeal
procedures, if any, and notify the claimant of his or her right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
 
Section 7.08.    In case any provision of the Supplemental Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason
or in any particular circumstance or instance, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect its remaining parts in such circumstance or instance nor the enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance or instance and the Supplemental
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein for application to the particular circumstance or instance. 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, AmSouth Bancorporation has caused this amended and restated Supplemental Plan to be
executed this 18th day of December, 2002, effective as of January 1, 2002.

	  	 	subsequent to the election. The supplemental salary reduction agreement for any Plan Year shall be irrevocable for such Plan Year. Moreover, an election for a Plan
Year shall remain in full force and effect for all subsequent Plan Years unless modified or revoked by the Participant in writing to the Plan Administrator before the first day of the Plan Year for which such modification or revocation is to be
effective. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a supplemental salary reduction agreement shall be revoked automatically once a Participant ceases to be an active Participant as set forth in Section 3.2 of this Plan. 

 

	(b)	 	Effectiveness of Salary Reduction Agreement.    A Participant’s supplemental salary reduction agreement shall take effect and amounts
specified in the supplemental salary reduction agreement shall begin to be credited to such Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions Account at such time as the Participant has made the maximum pre-tax elective deferrals to the Thrift Plan
allowed by Code Section 402(g) or by the provisions of the Thrift Plan. 

 

	(c)	 	Allocation.    Salary reduction contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s Salary Reduction Contributions Account
as of the last day of each calendar quarter within the Plan Year. 

 

	4.2	 	Employer Matching Contributions 

 

	(a)	 	Eligibility.    A Participant shall be credited with matching contributions under this Plan for such Plan Year at such time as the
Participant ceases to receive a matching contribution under Section 4.01 of the Thrift Plan regardless of whether such Participant’s supplemental salary reduction agreement has become effective as provided in Section 4.1 (b) above.

 

	(b)	 	Amount.    The amount of matching contributions credited to a Participant’s account under this Plan shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the sum of (i) and (ii) below: 

 

	 	(i)	 	the Participant’s unmatched (determined on a per payroll basis) pre-tax elective deferrals made to the Thrift Plan pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Thrift Plan;
and 

 

	 	(ii)	 	salary reduction contributions credited to the Participant’s account under this Plan pursuant to the Participant’s supplemental salary reduction agreement.

 
Provided, however, that (A) no
matching contributions shall be made on salary reduction Contributions or deferrals under (i) or (ii) above to the extent that such salary reduction contributions or deferrals (determined on a per payroll basis) exceed six percent (6%) of a
Participant’s Compensation; and (B) nothing in this Section 4.2 shall entitle a Participant to be credited with a matching contribution under this Plan for any salary reduction contribution or deferral made to the Thrift Plan prior to the time
such Participant has received the maximum matching contributions to the Thrift Plan allowed under the terms of the Thrift Plan. 
 

	(c)	 	Allocations. Matching contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account as of the last day of each calendar quarter
within the Plan Year. 

 

 

	4.3	 	Forfeitability of Benefits. 

 
Participants shall have a one hundred percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable right to the balance of their Account under this Plan at all times,
subject, however, to the substantial risk of forfeiture set forth in Section 5.3. 
 

	4.4	 	Change in Control. 

 
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant is employed by the Company (or any entity that must be treated as a
single employer with the Company pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code) at the time of a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Participant shall (regardless of whether he has become a Retiree or attained age 55 on the date of
his termination of employment) be entitled to a lump sum payment of a retirement benefit under the Plan (determined as if he were to become a Retiree upon termination of employment) if the Participant’s employment with the Company (or any
entity that must be treated as a single employer with the Company pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code) terminates within two (2) years after a Change in Control has occurred. 
 
For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean:

 
(a)  The acquisition by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not
constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored, maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this section; or 
 
(b)  Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved
by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption
of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

 
(c) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or 
 

through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately
prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan
or related trust of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that the such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of
the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

 
(d)  Approval by the shareholders of
the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 
Article V.    Accounts; Financing 
 

	5.1	 	Participant Accounts 

 
Each contribution credited to a Participant under Article IV shall be allocated to an individual bookkeeping Account maintained on behalf of that
Participant by the Plan Administrator. Each Participant’s Account shall be adjusted for earnings in the manner described in Section 5.2. 
 

	5.2	 	Valuation of Participant Accounts 

 
As of each Valuation Date, each Participant’s Account shall be adjusted to reflect earnings as follows. An average of the Participant’s Account
(the “Average Account Balance”) shall be obtained by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the Participant’s Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date and (ii) the Participant’s Account as of the immediately preceding
Valuation Date plus all contributions since the immediately preceding Valuation Date, by (b) two (2). The Participant’s Average Account Balance shall be multiplied by the Applicable Interest Rate, and this product shall be added to or
subtracted from the Participant’s Account. The Applicable Interest Rate shall be determined by calculating the percentage (either positive or negative) obtained by dividing the Participant’s net earnings or losses of all funds in the
Thrift Plan as of the Valuation Date by the Participant’s average Thrift Plan balance. The Participant’s average Thrift Plan balance shall be calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the Participant’s total balance in the Thrift Plan
as of the Valuation Date and (ii) the Participant’s total balance in the Thrift Plan as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date, by (b) two (2). 
 

	5.3	 	Financing 

 
The benefits under this Plan shall be paid out of the general assets of the Employers (including assets held in the Trust). No Participant or
Beneficiary shall have any interest in any specific asset of any Employer. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of any
Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, shall create a fiduciary relationship between an Employer and any Participant or Beneficiary or a right of continued employment for any
Participant. 
 

 
Article
VI.    Distributions 
 

	6.1	 	Termination of Service

the Participant in a lump sum cash payment within ninety (90) days of the Valuation Date immediately following the Participant’s Termination of Service. 
 

	6.2	 	Death of the Participant 

 
If the Participant dies before the distribution of his or her Account, the balance in the Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s
Beneficiary in a lump sum cash payment within ninety (90) days of the Valuation Date immediately following the Participant’s death. 
 

	6.3	 	No In-Service Withdrawals 

 
A Participant may not receive a distribution from his or her Account before incurring a Termination of Service. 
 
Article VII.    Administration 
 

	7.1	 	Administration 

 
The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have all powers necessary or appropriate to carry out the
provisions of the Plan. It may, from time to time, establish rules for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of the Plan’s business. The Plan Administrator shall have absolute and complete discretionary authority to interpret and
administer the Plan and shall have the exclusive right to make any finding of fact necessary or appropriate for any purpose under the Plan including, but not limited to, the determination of eligibility for and amount of any benefit. The Plan
Administrator shall have the exclusive right to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan or in connection with its administration, including, without limitation, the right to remedy
or resolve possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions by general rule or particular decision, all in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent permitted by law, all finding of fact, determinations, interpretations, and decisions of
the Plan Administrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest or right under the Plan. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delegate any of its powers and duties under
this Plan to one or more individuals. In such a case, every reference in the Plan to the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to include such matters within their jurisdiction. The Plan Administrator shall have the right to consult with attorneys and
other advisors regarding its duties under this Plan, which attorney and advisors may be employed by an Employer. 
 

	7.2	 	Appeals from Denial of Claims 

 
Any participant may file a claim for benefits. If the claim is denied, the claimant shall be provided written notice within ninety (90) days with:

 

	 	•	 	Specific reasons for the denial 

 

 

	 	•	 	Specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based 

 

	 	•	 	A description of any additional information needed and why it is needed; and 

 

	 	•	 	An explanation of (1) the procedures and time limits for an appeal, (2) the right to obtain information about the procedures and (3) the right to sue in federal
court. 

 
If there are special
circumstances delaying the determination of the claim, the claimant may be notified within the 90 day period explaining the special circumstances and stating that an answer will be provided within 90 more days. If an answer is not received within
the 90 days (or 180 days if an extension notice has been provided) the claim shall be deemed denied. 
 
Any claimant for a benefit (or, as applicable, his or her estate or other representative or beneficiary) may, within sixty (60) days after
receipt of a letter of denial appeal to the Claims Review Committee, by writing to the Head of Human Resources of the plan sponsor and may request a review of the denial of the benefit, with opportunity to submit his or her position in writing.
Appeals not timely filed shall be barred. 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 his or her claim

 

	 	•	 	submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, which will be considered without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial determination 

 
The Claims Review Committee shall meet quarterly on the third Thursday in the months of February, May, August, and November or such other time as the Claims Review Committee shall determine, provided that a claim is pending.
If a claim is received by the Claims Review Committee at least thirty (30) days before a quarterly meeting, such appeal will be considered at that meeting; otherwise, such appeal will be considered at the first subsequent quarterly meeting. If there
are special circumstances, the decision may be delayed until the third meeting following receipt of the request. If special circumstances require an extension, the claimant will be notified. 
 
The Claims Review Committee will render a written decision,
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and mail the written decision to the claimant at the claimant’s last address known to the plan sponsor, specifying by reference to the Plan the reasons for denial of such part or
all of the claimed benefit as it denies upon review. Such letter shall state 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
claim; describe the Plan’s voluntary appeal procedures, if any, and notify the claimant of his or her right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
 

	7.3	 	Tax Withholding 

 
The Employer may withhold from any payment under this Plan any federal, state, or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect
to the payment and any sum the Employer may reasonably estimate as necessary to cover any taxes for which it may be liable and that may be assessed with regard to the payment.

All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Employers.
