day coincident with or next following the date the Participant, Inactive Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary (as applicable) requests such distribution or withdrawal, provided, however, that the Valuation Date with respect to any payments
which qualify as eligible rollover distributions pursuant to Section 13.6 shall be delayed by such waiting period as may apply by law or regulation to such distributions. 
 For purposes of this Section 1.52, “business day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon any otherwise applicable Valuation Date trading in Company Stock or
Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock is suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or halted pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and does not

  

 -18- 

 
resume prior to the close of business that day, then, with respect to any valuation of the Company Stock Fund, or the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund, as applicable, an inter-Investment Fund
transfer, distribution or withdrawal for which a determination of the net asset value of units in the applicable stock fund and the closing price per share of the applicable stock is required, the Valuation Date shall be delayed to the close of the
next business day on which trading in the applicable stock resumes, provided however, that where such suspension or halt in trading occurs on the last Valuation Date of any month, then the Valuation Date shall not be delayed and the Administrative
Agent shall determine the net asset value of units in the Company Stock Fund or the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund and a deemed closing price per share of Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock, as applicable, as of that date in accordance
with a uniform valuation procedure established by the Benefits Committee which shall be applied in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner to all persons similarly situated. 
 1.53 “Year of Service” means with respect to an Employee in the service of an Employing Company, each Plan Year during
which an Employee has completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service. To the extent an Employee has less than 1,000 hours in the first and last calendar year of employment, such hours shall be aggregated and if the total equals or exceeds 1,000 hours,
then the Participant shall be credited with an additional Year of Service. If the Employee has incurred a One Year Break in Service by reason of termination of service and is reemployed by an Employing Company, Years of Service shall include the
Plan Year in which he is reemployed and subsequent Plan Years provided he has completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service during each such Plan year. If the Employee has not incurred a One Year Break in Service by reason of termination of service and
is reemployed by an Employing Company, he shall continue to be credited with Years of Service as provided herein. 
  

 -19- 

 Except as provided below, an Employee shall not be credited with Years of Service in respect
of any period prior to the date on which the Plan (or any predecessor plan as defined by regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate) became effective with respect to the Employee’s Employing Company. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a Year of Service shall include any period during which an Employee was or is employed by
(i) Bristol-Myers Squibb Company or an affiliate of such company and/or (ii) an Employing Company as a leased employee (including, but not limited to, as a “leased employee” within the meaning of Section 414(n)(2) of the

 ARTICLE II. 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 2.1(a) Any Employee who was a Participant
in the Prior Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically be a Participant in the Plan on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) any participant of the Prior Plan who is on
short-term disability leave from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (or its subsidiary or affiliate) on the Effective Date and who within six (6) months after the Effective Date returns to work for an Employing Company immediately after such
short-term disability leave, shall become a Participant in the Plan on the date he resumes work for the Company, subject to the limitation of Section 5.5, and (ii) any employee of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company or Mead Johnson &
Company (or a subsidiary or affiliate of either) who otherwise would have been an Employee on the Effective Date but whose employment with an Employing Company is delayed due to the processing of a work permit, visa or similar required documentation
shall become a Participant in the Plan on the date he becomes an Employee; provided, however, that such person commences work for an Employing Company within six (6) months after the Effective Date. 
 (b) Any Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and shall become a Participant on the date as of which he completes his first
Hour of Service. Such Participant may elect to have Basic, Supplementary and Catch-Up Contributions contributed or made to the Plan on his behalf, beginning on any Enrollment Date, if on such date he is on one of the Employing Company’s United
States payrolls or, if not on such payroll, he meets the requirements of Section 1.23, by authorizing Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, or both, from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages in accordance with Section 3.1, and by
directing the investment of such Pre-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions in accordance with Article 9.

  

 -21- 

 
Notwithstanding any other Plan provision, a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions election, including Default Elective Contributions pursuant to Section 3.5,
shall take effect as of such Employee’s first full pay period after his Enrollment Date, which period ends no earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day after his date of hire. Such authorization and direction shall be by Electronic
Notification to the Administrative Agent. Pre-Tax Contribution and After-Tax Contributions, in the aggregate cannot exceed 25% of the portion of the Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages otherwise payable for such payroll period, subject
to the exception discussed above with respect to correction of Administrative Errors. 
 (c) An Employee shall become a
Participant in the Plan on and after the Effective Date to the extent he is eligible to receive an Additional Company Contribution for any Plan Year in accordance with Section 5.5. 
 2.2 Any employee of a subsidiary or affiliated corporation of the Company which is not an Employing Company or of a division or branch of an
Employing Company or who is included in an employee classification which is not participating in the Plan, who becomes an Employee of an Employing Company or of a foreign subsidiary of an Employing Company as provided in Section 1.23 may elect
to participate in the Plan as provided in this Article 2, and for purposes of Section 1.23 and Article 10, his service with any subsidiary or affiliated corporation of the Company which is not an Employing Company, or with a division or branch
of an Employing Company which is not participating in the Plan or in a classification of Employees ineligible to participate in the Plan, shall be taken into account in the same manner and to the same extent as if such service had been employment as
an Employee with an Employing Company. 
  

 -22- 

 ARTICLE III. 
 BASIC AND SUPPLEMENTARY CONTRIBUTIONS 
 3.1 Subject to Article 6 hereof, a
Participant may elect and authorize a Basic Contribution from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages from 1% to 6% (in whole percentages) of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages. An Employee may authorize a Supplementary Contribution from his Annual
Benefit Salary or Wages from 1% to 19% (in whole percentages) of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages; provided, however, that the Employee may not authorize a Supplementary Contribution for any payroll period unless he has authorized a Basic
Contribution equal to 6% of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages for such payroll period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to correct an Administrative Error, a Participant may authorize a Basic Contribution from his Annual
Benefit Salary or Wages in excess of 6% (in whole percentages) of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages and a Supplementary Contribution from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages in excess of 19% (in whole percentages) of his Annual Benefit Salary or
Wages. Any authorization of a Basic Contribution or Supplementary Contribution in order to correct an Administrative Error shall be made in accordance with principles and procedures established by the Benefits Committee which are applicable to all
persons similarly situated, setting forth the timing and manner of such authorization; provided that the Benefits Committee may determine the period during which such additional Basic or Supplementary Contributions may be made. Such authorization
and direction shall be by Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. 
 An Employee may authorize Basic or
Supplementary Contributions in the form of Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, or a combination thereof. Basic or Supplementary Contributions authorized by a Participant in order to effect a correction of an Administrative Error shall be
accounted for separately in the Plan Year in which made. 
  

 -23- 

 If the percentage of a Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages contributed on his
behalf to the Plan as Pre-Tax Contributions for any payroll period is 6% or greater, then the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution, if any, for that payroll period shall be deemed a Supplementary Contribution, unless such Pre-Tax Contributions
for any payroll period equal or exceed 6% solely due to a correction of an Administrative Error. If the percentage of a Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages contributed on his behalf to the Plan as a Pre-Tax Contribution is less than 6%
for any payroll period, then such Pre-Tax Contribution shall be a Basic Contribution and the Employee’s After-Tax Contribution, if any, for that payroll period shall be a Basic Contribution to the extent it does not exceed the difference
between (i) 6% of the Employee’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages for such payroll period and (ii) the Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution for such payroll period; any remaining After-Tax Contribution shall be a Supplementary
Contribution; provided, however, that the Benefits Committee may determine that different percentage allocations between Basic and Supplementary Contributions are required in order to correct an Administrative Error to the extent a Participant
elects under this Section 3.1 to make, or under Section 4.1 to reduce, his Pre-Tax Contribution and/or After-Tax Contributions below 6% of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages, then such Contribution shall be deemed to be made first to
correct any Administrative Error. 
 Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions (including any Automatic Contributions)
will begin with the first payroll period following the Enrollment Date (or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter) on which the Employee begins participation in the Plan. 
 3.2 Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions shall be computed on a payroll period basis. Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions during each payroll period shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon as practicable after the end of such payroll period. 
  

 -24- 

 3.3 This Section 3.3 shall apply to any Participant who (i) has attained or will
attain age fifty (50) before the end of the Plan Year, (ii) has made Pre-Tax Contributions for such Plan Year and (iii) is precluded from making additional Pre-Tax Contributions on account of either the elective deferal limitation
imposed by Section 402(g) of the Code, a limit imposed on the percentage of Annual Benefit Salary or Wages that can be contributed pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan, the deferral percentage limitations of Section 401(k)(3) of
the Code or the annual addition limitation of Section 415(c) of the Code. Each such Participant may authorize a Catch-Up Contribution from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages in accordance with, and subject to, the limitations of
Section 414(v) of the Code. 
 3.4 Except for a Rollover Contribution pursuant to Article 7, a Participant shall be
entitled to contribute to the Plan only through Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages.

Date, the Company shall automatically

  

 -25- 

 
withhold on a pre-tax basis and contribute Default Elective Contributions to the Plan on behalf of an Automatic Contribution Participant. Default Elective Contributions shall constitute and be
received and held by the Trustee as Pre-Tax Contributions subject to all of the Plan provisions concerning such form of contribution. 
 (ii) Deemed Investment Direction. In the absence of an Affirmative Investment Direction, an Automatic Contribution Participant shall be deemed to have directed that 100% of Default Elective
Contributions and Employing Company Contributions made on his behalf, and earnings thereon, be invested in the Applicable QDIA. 
 (iii) Changes to Deemed Elections. An Automatic Contribution Participant may: 
 (A) make an Affirmative Deferral Election, and thereby change his Default Deferral Percentage to any other percentage, including zero, permitted under the Plan, and/or type of contributions (pre- or after-tax) made to the Plan on his
behalf, at any time permitted by and in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan and the administrative procedures established for such purpose; and 
 (B) make an Affirmative Investment Direction and change the manner in which contributions made to the Plan on his behalf and earnings thereon are invested, at any time in accordance with the procedures
established for such purpose.

apply.

 (b) Automatic Annual Increase. An Automatic Contribution Participant, at any time
after the Automatic Contribution Date, and any other Participant, at any time after making an affirmative election to have Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf, may elect to have his Default Deferral
Percentage or deferral percentage, respectively, automatically increase in accordance with the following: 
 (i)
The election must specify a date as of which the automatic increase to the Default Deferral Percentage or affirmatively elected deferral percentage, as applicable, shall take effect and may specify more than one (1) such date provided there may
be only one (1) automatic increase per Plan Year. Notwithstanding any date specified, automatic increases to the Default Deferral Percentage shall take effect as of the first payroll period coincident with or next following the date elected by
the Automatic Contribution Participant. 
 (ii) Automatic increases must be in percentage terms and in increments
of no less than 1% and no greater than 3% and shall be subject to all applicable limitations including, but not limited to, the 25% limit. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any elected automatic increases, an Automatic Contribution Participant and any other Participant may make a subsequent election to increase, decrease or cease entirely Pre-Tax
Contributions and/or to change from Pre-Tax Contributions to After-Tax Contributions (or a permitted combination) in accordance with the Plan and administrative procedures established for such purpose. 
 (c) Required Notice. 
 (i) In General. The Plan Administrator or its Administrative Agent shall provide the Automatic Contribution Notice in accordance with this subsection (c) to

  

 -27-

such contributions. The Automatic Contribution Notice shall apprise an Automatic Contribution Participant of his or her rights and obligations under this Section 3.5 and shall include the information specified under clause (ii), below, and

applicable, electronic addresses, of individuals or offices from whom such information can be obtained. 
 (iii)
Timing of Notice. The Automatic Contribution Notice shall be provided on or shortly after an Automatic Contribution Participant’s date of hire. If for any reason the Automatic Contribution Notice cannot be provided during the first
fifteen (15) days of employment, the Automatic Contribution Notice shall be given as promptly as possible and such Automatic Contribution Participant’s Automatic Contribution Date shall be deemed to be the date that is thirty
(30) days from the date the Automatic Contribution Notice is provided. The Automatic Contribution Notice shall also be provided to an Automatic Contribution Participant during the thirty (30) days prior to the start of each Plan Year
starting after his or her Automatic Contribution Date.

 ARTICLE IV. 
 CHANGE IN CONTRIBUTIONS 
 4.1 A Participant may change, effective as of the
first day of the next payroll period (or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible), the percentage of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages that he has authorized as his Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions or After-Tax Contributions to
another permissible percentage by giving Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions must be reduced in order to meet the nondiscrimination
requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code, then to the extent the Participant authorizes, the Participant may change the percentage of his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages authorized as his After-Tax Contributions to include such former Pre-Tax
Contributions by giving Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. 
 4.2 In the event of a change in the Annual
Benefit Salary or Wages of a Participant, the percentage of his Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions, if any, currently in effect shall be applied as soon as practicable with respect to such changed Annual
Benefit Salary or Wages, without action by the Participant.

Contributions, or a combination thereof) paid into the Plan for each payroll period. Any Employing Company Contribution made with respect to any portion of a Participant’s Basic Contribution that is attributable to the correction of an
Administrative Error shall be calculated separately. 
 5.2 Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.1 with
respect to each Participant’s periodic Basic Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon as practicable after the end of each payroll period. 
 5.3 Matching Contributions will not be made with respect to Supplementary Contributions. 
 5.4 Qualified Nonelective Contributions may be made, where appropriate, to correct Administrative Errors and to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) of the Code. If a Qualified Nonelective Contribution is made in
lieu of a Participant’s Basic Contribution to correct an Administrative Error (rather than to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) of the Code), a Matching Contribution by the Employing Company shall be made with respect
to such Qualified Nonelective Contribution. 
 5.5 Subject to the provisions of Article 6 hereof, an Additional Company
Contribution equal to a percentage of the Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages for the Plan Year shall be made by each Employing Company on behalf of each Participant in its employ on the last day of the Plan Year, including any
Participant who on or after the Effective

  

 -33- 

 
Date becomes disabled and who is receiving disability under a short-term disability pay plan of an Employing Company on the last day of the Plan Year, in the sum of the Participant’s age and
Years of Service, as follows: 
  

			
	 Age + Service
	 	 Additional Company
 Contribution Percentage

	 <40
	 	2.0%
	 40-59
	 	3.0%
	 60+
	 	4.0%

 In addition, for the five (5) twelve-month periods commencing with the Effective Date (the
“Transition Period”), each Employing Company shall contribute a Transition Contribution equal to 2% of a Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary and Wages for each Plan Year ending within the Transition Period and in the immediately
following Plan Year, on behalf of such Participant who (a) shall have met the Rule of 60 on the Effective Date, and (b)(i) is employed by such Employing Company on the last day of the respective Plan Year or (ii) during the respective Plan
Year retired (defined as terminated at or after the Participant’s early retirement date under the Mead Johnson & Company Retirement Plan, including retirement under the Rule of 70); provided, however, that the Transition Contribution
shall be calculated by applying only such Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary and Wages that is earned during the applicable Plan Year, or the portion thereof, that is included in the Transition Period. Additional Company Contributions,
including any Transition Contributions, shall be made to the Participant’s account as soon as practicable after the end of each such Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for 2009, for the purpose of the Transition Contribution only, Annual
Benefit Salary and Wages shall be determined as the amount so paid to the Participant in 2009 on and after the Effective Date and for Plan Year 2014 Annual Benefit Salary and Wages shall be determined as to the amount so paid in 2014 prior to the
fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. 
  

 -34- 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the case of a Participant who
is eligible to participate in the Plan under clause (ii) of Section 2.1(a), such Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary and Wages for the purpose of determining his Transition Contribution for 2009 shall include amounts paid to him by
the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, or an affiliate of such company, for the period from the Effective Date to his hire date by an Employing Company of this Plan. 
 5.6 The Matching Contributions and Additional Company Contributions to be made by each Employing Company on behalf of the Participants in its employ in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.5 shall be made
out of its current or accumulated earnings or profits. If an Employing Company is prevented from making a Matching Contribution or an Additional Company Contribution which it would otherwise have made hereunder by reason of having no current or
accumulated earnings or profits or because such earnings or profits are less than the contributions which it would otherwise have made, then so much of the Matching Contribution or Additional Company Contribution which such Employing Company was
prevented from making shall be made for the benefit of the Participants of such Employing Company by the Company or proportionately by all Employing Companies, as the Company shall determine, to the extent and in the proportions permissible under
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as from time to time amended, and the regulations thereunder. 
  

 -35- 

 ARTICLE VI. 
 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS 
 6.1 Any provision of Article 3 or Article 5
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions), After-Tax Contributions and Employing Company Contributions made on behalf of a Participant under this Plan for any Plan Year shall be subject to the
limitations of this Article 6. 
 6.2 Limitation on Annual Additions. 
 (a) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan shall be administered in a manner which will result in its complying with the
provisions of Section 415 of the Code. 
 (b) In the case of a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) and is eligible to receive disability payments under a disability pay plan maintained by his Employing Company, the term “Participant’s compensation” shall mean the compensation the
Participant would have received for the year if the Participant was paid at the rate of compensation paid immediately before becoming permanently and totally disabled. 
 (c)(i) In addition to other limitations set forth in the Plan and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the
Annual Additions credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan (and all other qualified defined contribution plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under the provisions of Section 415 of the Code) for any Limitation Year
shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Additions. 
 (ii) In the case where (A) this Plan and another qualified
defined contribution plan of the Employing Company cover the same Participant and (B) amounts that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Particpant’s accounts under the Plan or the other plan would cause the Annual Additions
for the Limitation

  

 -36- 

 
Year to exceed the Maximum Annual Additions, the amounts to be contributed or allocated under such other plan or plans shall be reduced prior to any reduction in contributions or allocations
under this Plan so that the Annual Additions under all such plans for the Limitation Year will not exceed the Maximum Annual Additions. 
 (d) Prior to determining the Participant’s actual Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Employing Company may determine the Maximum Annual Additions for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable
estimation of the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated. As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum Annual Additions for
the Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Participant’s actual Compensation for the Limitation Year. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2, the special transitional relief afforded by Section 235 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, as amended, is
specifically incorporated herein and elections made under the Prior Plan shall be recognized under this Plan. 
 (ii) If pursuant to subsection (c) or as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a Participant’s Annual Additions under this Plan and any other qualified defined contribution plan required to be aggregated with this Plan under
Section 415 of the Code would result in an Excess Amount for a Limitation Year, the Excess Amount will first be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions allocated to the other plan or plans. 
  

 -37- 

 6.3 Limitation on Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions), After-Tax
Contributions and Matching Contributions. The Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Matching Contributions made on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year, when expressed as a percentage of such Participant’s Compensation
within the meaning of Code Section 414(s) for such Plan Year, shall not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage permitted by Section 401(k)(3) of the Code or the Actual Contribution Percentage permitted by Section 401(m)(2) of the Code
for such Plan Year. In determining whether any such Contributions exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage permitted by Section 401(k)(3) of the Code or the Actual Contribution Percentage permitted by Section 401(m)(2) of the Code, the
Company shall use the current year testing method. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) of the Code, the Company may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions: (i) reduce
all or any portion of the current and future contributions to be made on behalf of any Participant or group of Participants for any Plan Year in the manner set forth in subsection (a) hereof, or (ii) reduce all or any portion of the
contributions previously made on behalf of any Participant or group of Participants for a Plan Year in the manner set forth in subsection (b) hereof. The portions of the Plan which constitutes the ESOPs shall be aggregated for testing purposes
with the balance of the Plan. 
 (a) If the Company shall determine that the contributions on behalf of any Participant or group
of Participants might result in discrimination in contributions in favor of Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees or might cause the Plan to violate the requirements of Section 401(k) or 401(m) of the Code, the Company shall,
regardless of elections filed under Section 3.1 hereof, have the right to cause such adjustments to be made in current or future Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions on behalf of such Participant or Participants as
will, in the Company’s opinion, avoid such discrimination and satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k) and/or 401(m) of the Code, including without limitation the right to reduce or suspend the amount of future Pre-Tax or After-Tax
Contributions or Matching Contributions previously authorized by, or made on behalf of, a Participant or Participants. 
  

 -38- 

 To the extent it is deemed necessary to limit Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contributions or Matching
Contributions of Participants in order to meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) or 401(m) of the Code, (i) the Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions of each Participant who is not a
Highly Compensated Employee and of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Deferral Percentage (as defined in Section 401(k)(3) of the Code) or Contribution Percentage (as defined in Section 401(m)(3) of the
Code) is not expected to exceed the permitted Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage under Section 401(k) or 401(m) of the Code, as the case may be, shall be honored in accordance with each such Participant’s authorization
and (ii) the Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and a proportionally corresponding amount of Matching Contributions, if necessary, of each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Deferral Percentage or
Contribution Percentage is expected to exceed the permitted Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage for such group under Section 401(k) or 401(m) of the Code, shall be subject to adjustment which shall be accomplished by reducing
by 1% the Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions which constitute Supplementary Contributions of those Participants whose Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year is expected to be the greatest, then, to the extent deemed necessary,
by reducing by 1% the Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions of such Participants which constitute Basic Contributions of such Participants and the Matching Contributions made with respect to Basic Contributions of such Participants
(whether such Basic Contributions are made in the form of

  

 -39- 

 
Pre-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions); in the event further reduction is deemed necessary, those Participants whose Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage is expected
to be the greatest after taking the prior reduction into account will have their Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions which constitute Supplementary Contributions or Basic Contributions and, if deemed necessary, their Matching
Contributions reduced in the same manner; such process will be repeated until the Company shall determine that the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees will not be
exceeded. The decision of the Company in this regard shall be final and shall not be subject to question by the Trustee, Administrative Agent or by any Participant or group of Participants. 
 (b) In the event that the Plan does not comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) or 401(m) after the reduction
(if any) described in subsection (a) (and after any Qualified Nonelective Contributions have been considered) for any Plan Year, the Company shall determine (i) the sum total of the contributions made by or on behalf of all of the
Participants which would be considered Excess Contributions (within the meaning of Section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code) and (ii) the sum total of the contributions made by or on behalf of all of the Participants which would be considered
Excess Aggregate Contributions (within the meaning of Section 401(m)(6)(B) of the Code) and shall take the following corrective steps to eliminate each sum total: 
 (A) with respect to the sum determined in (i), the Pre-Tax Contributions made by the Participant who has the highest dollar
amount of such contributions for the Plan Year and is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be reduced by the amount required to cause his Pre-Tax Contributions to equal those made by the Highly Compensated

  

 -40- 

 
Employee having the next highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, and the part of the first Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions equal to the amount of the dollar reduction shall be
distributed to him by no later than the close of the immediately following Plan Year, or if his Employing Company so elects within two and one-half (2 1
/2) months after the close of the Plan Year to which the recharacterization relates, shall be treated as distributed to and recontributed by
him to the Plan provided that in such case the Employing Company shall provide timely notice of such treatment to the Participant and the Internal Revenue Service; and 
 (B) with respect to the sum determined in (ii), the After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions made by or on behalf
of the Participant who has the highest dollar amount of such contributions for the Plan Year and is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be reduced by the amount required to cause such contributions to equal those made by the Highly Compensated
Employee having the next highest dollar amount of such contributions, and the part of the first Participant’s After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions equal to the amount of the dollar reduction shall be distributed to him and to the
extent forfeitable shall be forfeited by no later than the close of the immediately following Plan Year; and 
 if further reductions are
required to eliminate such sums after the reductions described above, the same procedure shall be repeated with respect to each next succeeding level of Highly Compensated Employees having the now highest dollar amount of contributions until the
Company shall determine that the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage or Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees will not be exceeded; provided that if at any step a lesser reduction would equal the total sum
still to be eliminated, then only the lesser reduction amount shall be distributed, recharacterized or forfeited. 
  

 -41- 

 6.4 Dollar Limitation on Pre-Tax Contributions. 
 (a) The amount of Pre-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions) for a Participant for his taxable year shall be limited to the
maximum amount permitted to be deferred for that year under Section 402(g)(1) and (5) of the Code (the “maximum deferral amount”) as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for increases in the cost of living pursuant to
Section 402(g) of the Code. The dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year 2009 is $16,500. After 2009, the $16,500 limit shall be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases in
multiples of $500. Any Pre-Tax Contributions that would be considered to be excess deferrals (within the meaning of Section 402(g)(2) of the Code, but excluding amounts described in Section 1105(c) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986) shall be
distributed to the Participant in accordance with the rules of subsection (b) hereof. 
 Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary, Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the contribution limitation set forth in Section 2.1 of the Plan or the maximum deferral amount set forth in the preceding paragraph. Catch-Up Contributions of
the Participant for a taxable year may not exceed (1) the dollar limit on Catch-Up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year or (2) when added to other elective deferrals, 75% of the Participant’s
Compensation for the taxable year. The dollar limit for the calendar tear beginning in 2009 is $5,500. After 2009, the $5,500 limit shall be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 414
(v)(2)(C). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of $500. Catch-Up Contributions are not subject to the limits on Annual Additions set forth in Section 6.2 of the Plan, are not counted in the actual deferral percentages set forth in
Section 6.3 of the Plan, and are not counted in determining the minimum allocation under Section 21.4. 
  

 -42- 

 (b) To the extent the Participant has made Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan in excess of
the amount set forth in subsection (a) (an “Excess Deferral”), such Excess Deferrals shall be distributed to him no later than the 15th day of April following the end of the taxable year during which such Pre-Tax Contributions are
made. If, for a taxable year, a Participant makes Pre-Tax Contributions to this Plan and to any other plan or arrangement, he may allocate the amount of any Excess Deferrals for such taxable year among such plans. No later than the first day of
March following the close of the taxable year during which the Excess Deferrals are made, the Participant shall notify the Benefits Committee in writing of the amount of the Excess Deferrals allocated to this Plan. Such Excess Deferrals shall then
be distributed (including income thereon) to the Participant no later than the following April 15th and shall not be deemed to be Annual Additions for the limitation year in which made. 
  

 -43- 

 ARTICLE VII. 
 ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS 
 7.1 An Employee (whether or not otherwise a
Participant) may make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan at any time consisting of either an “Eligible Rollover Distribution” or an “Individual Retirement Account Rollover Contribution.” 
 7.2 Any Rollover Contribution shall be held in a separate account, shall be invested in accordance with the direction of the Participant
pursuant to Article 8, shall be distributed in the same manner and at the same time as described in Articles 11 and 13 with respect to a distribution to such Employee of benefits under the Plan, and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 22,
to the extent applicable. 
 7.3 “Eligible Rollover Distribution” means a distribution to an Employee from a
profit-sharing, pension or stock bonus plan meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and paid to an Employee that constitutes an “eligible rollover distribution” within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code,
provided that (i) such distribution is directly transferred to the Plan in the manner provided under Section 401(a)(31) of the Code or (ii) where the Employee receives such a distribution, such distribution (or the cash proceeds of
the sale of other property received in such distribution) is transferred to the trust under this Plan on or before the 60th day after the day on which the Employee received the property distributed. The amount so transferred must consist of cash
distributed from such other plan or any portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of distributed property other than cash, to the extent permitted by Section 402(c)(6) of the Code. 
 Any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an “Eligible Rollover Distribution” and an Employee may not
elect to have any portion of such distribution transferred to the trust under this Plan. A portion of a distribution directly transferred to the Plan shall not fail to be an “Eligible Rollover Distribution” merely because such portion
consists of after-tax contributions that are not includible in gross income. 
  

 -44- 

 “Individual Retirement Account Rollover Contribution” means a portion or all of
any amount received by an Employee from an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, provided that (i) such distribution is directly transferred to the Plan in the manner provided under Section 401(a)(31)
of the Code or (ii) where the Employee receives such a distribution, such distribution or the cash proceeds of the sale of other property received in the distribution is transferred to the trust under this Plan on or before the 60th day after
the day on which the Employee received the property distributed. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an “Individual Retirement Annuity Rollover Contribution” merely because such portion consists of after-tax contributions that
are not includible in gross income. The amount so transferred must consist of cash distributed from such individual retirement account or any portion of the cash proceeds from the sale of distributed property other than cash, to the extent permitted
by Section 402(c)(6) of the Code. 
 7.4 For purposes of this Plan, Qualified Plan Rollover Contributions (as defined under
the Prior Plan as in effect on September 30, 1994) shall be deemed to be earnings on After-Tax Contributions made prior to January 1, 1987. 
  

 -45- 

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 INVESTMENT CHOICES OF PARTICIPANT 
 8.1 The Benefits Committee shall
establish the Company Stock Fund and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund, as required by the Plan, and such other Investment Funds as it shall determine to be necessary or appropriate for the purpose of providing Participants with options with
respect to the investment of their Plan accounts and may, from time to time, (i) establish additional Investment Funds, (ii) liquidate (or provide that no new investments be made in) or change the permissible investments of existing
Investment Funds, or (iii) open an Investment Fund which had previously been closed to new investments by Participants pursuant to clause (ii) above. There shall also be established a Participant Loan Fund from which all loan proceeds
shall be disbursed and to which the outstanding balance of, and accrued interest on, any outstanding loan shall be credited. The Company Stock Fund shall be maintained as an Investment Fund at all times during which the ESOP is intended to
constitute a portion of the Plan. For a period of eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall also be maintained as an Investment Fund. As provided in Section 9.9, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock
Fund shall commence being liquidated at the expiration of such 18-month period, after which time the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall no longer be an authorized Investment Fund. 
 8.2 Except as provided in Section 8.3, each Participant shall make separate investment elections with respect to (i) Pre-Tax
Contributions, (ii) Catch-Up Contributions, (iii) Rollover Contributions, (iv) After-Tax Contributions, (v) Matching Contributions and (vi) Additional Company Contributions. Such Participant shall direct, at the time he
elects to participate in the Plan, that the Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, Rollover Contributions and transfers, After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions and

  

 -46- 

 
Additional Company Contributions made on his behalf to the Plan each be invested, in 1% increments, in any one or a combination of the Investment Funds, provided, however, that no portion of such
Contributions may be invested in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund on or after the Effective Date. If a Participant fails to make separate investment elections with respect to Matching Contributions, Additional Company Contributions and/or any
amount held in the BMS Liquidation Account, or chooses not to make separate investment elections with respect to Matching Contributions, Additional Company Contributions and/or any amount held in the BMS Liquidation Account, such Matching
Contributions and/or Additional Company Contributions made to the Plan and/or amounts held in the BMS Liquidation Account on behalf of such Participant shall be invested in the QDIA determined on the basis of a Participant’s date of birth, or
such other Investment Fund as the Benefits Committee may designate, provided the Investment Fund is a QDIA as determined by the Benefits Committee, until changed pursuant to Section 8.4. 
 8.3 Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.13 and elsewhere in this Section 8.3, dividends and other distributions received by
the Trustee with respect to Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock shall be held in the BMS Liquidation Account and invested in accordance with Section 8.2 until the Participant reallocates such amounts to another Investment Fund in accordance with
Section 8.5. Dividends and other distributions received by the Trustee with respect to Company Stock shall be invested in the Company Stock Fund. Dividends, interest and other distributions received by the Trustee with respect to any other
Investment Fund shall be invested in the same fund in which the investment yielding such dividend, interest or other distribution is held. Cash dividends paid on shares of Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock in which a Participant or
Beneficiary has a vested interest shall, at the election of the

  

 -47- 

 
Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to procedures set forth by the Benefits Committee, be distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary. Cash dividends that are distributed pursuant to an
election hereunder shall be paid, at the discretion of the Benefits Committee, by the Company in cash to Participants and Beneficiaries, or paid by the Company to the Trust and distributed from the Trust to Participants and Beneficiaries not later
than ninety (90) days after the close of the Plan Year in which it is paid to the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount paid to a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to such an election exceed the vested amount of
the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s account in the applicable Stock Fund at the time of such payment. 
 8.4 Any
investment direction given by a Participant shall continue in effect until changed by the Participant. A Participant may change his investment direction as to future Pre-Tax Contributions, future Catch-Up Contributions, future After-Tax
Contributions or future Matching Contributions or Additional Company Contributions, as of the first day of the next payroll period (or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible) by giving Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent,
provided, however, that no contributions or new investments may be directed to be invested in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund on or after the Effective Date. 
 8.5 As of any Valuation Date, a Participant may direct that the amount in his account that is invested in any Investment Fund be liquidated in 1% increments and invested in one or more of the Investment
Funds in the manner the Participant shall designate in such direction, provided that no new investments may be directed into the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund on or after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provision to this Plan,
inter-Investment Fund transfers are subject to the imposition of any restrictions, rejections or

  

 -48- 

 
limitations as set forth in the prospectus of each Investment Fund. A Participant’s direction may accordingly be restricted, rejected or otherwise limited pursuant to underlying rules
governing the Investment Fund. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall also apply to a Participant, Former Participant, Inactive Participant or Beneficiary, whose account shall not have been distributed as provided in Section 13.2 or
13.3(a) and, with respect to the undistributed portion of his account, to a Former Participant or Beneficiary who has elected distribution of his account in installments as provided in Section 13.1(b) or Section 13.2 and any direction
under this Section 8.5 shall be given by the Former Participant or Beneficiary by giving Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. 
 8.6 Except as provided in this Article 8, any funds transferred by a Participant to the Plan pursuant to Section 23.3 shall initially be invested, in 1% increments, in such Investment Fund or Funds
as the Participant shall direct. 
 8.7 If a Qualified Nonelective Contribution is made on behalf of a Participant to correct an
Administrative Error such amount shall be invested in the QDIA determined on the basis of a Participant’s date of birth or such other Investment Fund determined by the Benefits Committee, until the Participant directs otherwise. If a Qualified
Nonelective Contribution is made in order to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) of the Code such amount shall be invested in accordance with the Participant’s current investment elections. Any Matching Contribution
attributable to a Qualified Nonelective Contribution shall be invested in accordance with the Participant’s current investment election with regard to Matching Contributions. If a Participant fails to make an election, such contribution shall
be invested in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 8.2. 
  

 -49- 

 8.8 In the event that the Plan receives a recovery from a claim filed by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Plan and/or certain Participants and beneficiaries, the Benefits Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the accounts and the Investment Funds to be credited. To the extent possible, the Benefits Committee shall credit the
accounts of Participants and beneficiaries on whose behalf the claim was made, but if such Participants and beneficiaries cannot be clearly identified or it is administratively unfeasible to so determine them, the Benefits Committee may, in its sole
discretion, determine to benefit a class of Participants and beneficiaries which it deems represents such participants and beneficiaries. Where the recovery is related to an Investment Fund, the Benefits Committee may determine that such recovery
shall be deposited in such Investment Fund (or the Investment Fund which most closely resembles such Investment Fund) for the benefit of the Participants and beneficiaries currently investing in such Investment Fund. 
 8.9 Freeze and Liquidation of Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund. 
 (a) The Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall be closed to new investments and allocations as of the Effective Date. On and after such date,
all cash dividends not distributed in accordance with Section 8.3 and all proceeds from the sale of Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock held in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall be allocated to the BMS Liquidation Account and invested in
accordance with Section 8.2 until the Participant reallocates such amounts to another Investment Fund in accordance with Section 8.5. 
 (b) At the expiration of a period of eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date, any shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock remaining in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall be sold on the open
market by an independent broker. The proceeds of such sales shall be allocated to the BMS Liquidation Account and invested in accordance with Section 9.2 until the Participant reallocates such amounts in accordance with Section 8.5. After
the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund has been liquidated, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund shall no longer be an authorized Investment Fund. 
  

 -50- 

 ARTICLE IX. 
 MAINTENANCE AND VALUATION OF PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS 
 9.1 Maintenance of Separate Accounts. There shall be established for each Participant separate accounts which shall reflect separately (i) Pre-Tax Contributions, (ii) Catch-Up Contributions, (iii) After-Tax
Contributions (Post-1986), (iv) After-Tax Contributions (Pre-1987), (v) Rollover Contributions, (vi) Matching Contributions (prior to January 1, 1991) (vii) Matching Contributions (post December 31, 1990),
(viii) Additional Company Contributions, (ix) Qualified Nonelective Contributions and (x) amounts held in the BMS Liquidation Account, and the investment on each of the foregoing, and shall reflect any transfers to or transfers,
withdrawals or distributions from such account.1 Each
Participant shall be furnished a statement of his account quarterly and upon any loan, distribution, withdrawal or inter-Investment Fund Transfer. 
 9.2 Valuation of Accounts. The value of each Participant’s accounts in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund is maintained as units of participation valued, initially under the Prior Plan on
October 1, 1994, at $10.00 per unit. The valuation of each Participant’s account in the Company Stock Fund shall also be maintained in units of participation, the value of each such unit shall be set by the Committee at the time the
Company Stock Fund is established. Such units shall represent a proportionate interest in the assets of such Investment Fund. In the case of Investment Funds which consist of an interest in a commingled trust, the value of each Participant’s
account shall be represented by units of participation in such commingled trust at the net asset value of such unit. 
  

	1	 Accounts created under the Prior Plan to reflect these separate accounts shall be established and maintained on and after the Effective Date.

  

 -51- 

 With respect to the Investment Funds which are valued in units as of each Valuation Date,
the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a commingled trust, the trustee thereof) shall determine the net asset value of each such Investment Fund and adjust the value of units thereof appropriately. Contributions and inter-Investment Fund
transfers shall be converted into units based upon the net asset value of a unit of each such Investment Fund on the Valuation Date applicable thereto, and the number of units in the affected Investment Funds shall be adjusted accordingly. The value
of a Participant’s account under the Plan invested in such Investment Funds shall be determined by multiplying the number of units in each Investment Fund held on his behalf by the net asset value of such Investment Fund as of the relevant
Valuation Date. 
 The value of each Participant’s account in an Investment Fund which consists solely of a single mutual
fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 shall be accounted for in shares of such mutual fund. Contributions and inter-Investment Fund transfers shall be converted into shares based on the fair market value of a share of each such
Investment Fund on the Valuation Date applicable, and the number of shares in the affected Investment Funds shall be adjusted accordingly. The value of a Participant’s account under the Plan invested in such Investment Funds shall be determined
by multiplying the number of shares in each such Investment Fund held on his behalf by the fair market value of a share as of the relevant Valuation Date. 
  

 -52- 

 ARTICLE X. 
 VESTING 
 10.1 Amounts attributable to Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up
Contributions or After-Tax Contributions from a Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages, to Qualified Nonelective Contributions, to Rollover Contributions made by a Participant pursuant to Article 7, to Employing Company Matching
Contributions, and to Additional Company Contributions shall be fully vested in him at all times. Amounts attributable to Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Employing Company Matching Contributions made to the Prior Plan shall be fully
vested as of the Effective Date. 
  

 -53- 

 ARTICLE XI. 
 METHOD OF PAYMENT UPON DISTRIBUTION OR WITHDRAWAL 
 11.1 Method of
Payment. Except as provided in Section 11.2, upon any distribution or withdrawal from a Participant’s account, payment shall be made in the following manner: 
 (a) Company Stock. With respect to amounts invested in the Company Stock Fund and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund,
payment shall be made in cash; except that a Participant may elect, upon termination of employment or retirement or in a withdrawal described in Article 12 hereof, to receive Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock in lieu of cash in an amount
equal to the portion of his account balance which is invested in the Company Stock Fund or the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund, if applicable. If a Participant elects a distribution or withdrawal of Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock, in
the case of any fractional share of such stock, payment shall be in cash on the basis of the closing price per share of the applicable stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Valuation Date as of which distribution or withdrawal is to be made.
For the purposes of distribution and withdrawal, there shall be deemed to be in a Participant’s account on the Valuation Date as of which distribution or withdrawal is to be made a number of shares of Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock
determined by dividing the total value of the amount invested in such stock in such Participant’s account on such Valuation Date by the closing price per share of such stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such Valuation Date. 
 (b) Participant Loans. With respect to amounts invested in the Participant Loan Fund, such amounts shall be reduced by
the amount of the loan then outstanding and with respect to any remaining amount, payment shall be in cash. 
  

 -54- 

 (c) Other Investments. With respect to amounts invested in Investment
Funds other than the Company Stock Fund, Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund or the Participant Loan Fund, payment shall be in cash. Distributions shall be made as soon as practicable after such Valuation Date, provided the Participant has completed and
submitted all forms and consents as required by the Benefits Committee and its delegates and agents. 
 11.2 Notwithstanding
Section 11.1, with respect to a Participant (including an Inactive Participant or Former Participant) who (a) was hired by a participating company of the Prior Plan before October 1, 1994 and became a participant of the Prior Plan and
(b) prior to the time of distribution of his account pursuant to Section 13.1, 13.2 or 13.3, elects an annuity form of payment, the Benefits Committee shall direct the Trustee to purchase for such Participant an annuity, which may provide
for a continuance of annuity payments after the Participant’s death to a beneficiary, in such amount as may be purchased with an amount equal to the cash amount such Participant would otherwise have been entitled to receive (the “Annuity
Purchase Amount”), provided that if such Participant is married on the date on which distribution is to be made, the Benefits Committee shall direct the Trustee to purchase for such Participant an annuity in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.3(a) unless the Participant has made an effective election pursuant to Section 11.3(c). If the beneficiary under the annuity contract is other than the Participant’s spouse, the actuarial value of the benefit (at the time
the contract is purchased) payable to the Participant shall be in accordance with Q&A-2(c) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-6, as applicable. No annuity form of payment shall be available to any Participant hired on or after
October 1, 1994. 
  

 -55- 

 11.3(a) If an annuity is to be purchased pursuant to Section 11.2 for a Participant
(including for purposes of this Section 11.3 an Inactive Participant or Former Participant) described in Section 11.2 and the Participant is married as of the date on which a distribution is to be made, the Benefits Committee shall direct
the Trustee to purchase with the Annuity Purchase Amount applicable to such Participant an annuity which shall be in the form of a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” pursuant to which such Participant will receive monthly payments
commencing on his retirement date, or attainment of his normal retirement date in the case of distribution pursuant to Section 13.1, and continuing during his life with the provision that after his death, 50% of the amount of his monthly
payments will continue during the life of and be paid to his spouse, if such spouse shall survive him. Alternatively, Participant may elect a 75% “qualified joint and survivor annuity” pursuant to which such Participant will receive
monthly payments commencing on his retirement date, or attainment of his normal retirement date in the case of distribution pursuant to Section 13.1, and continuing during his life with the provision that after his death, 75% of the amount of
his monthly payments will continue during the life of and be paid to his spouse, if such spouse shall survive him. A purchase of a qualified joint and survivor annuity by the Trustee shall not be directed as provided in this paragraph (a) with
respect to a married Participant who has elected not to take a qualified joint and survivor annuity in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(c), accompanied by the required written consent of the spouse of such Participant. 

(b) If a distribution is to be made pursuant to Section 13.2 by reason of the death of a Participant and the Participant had elected
the purchase of an annuity contract in the event of his death, and at the time of his death is survived by his spouse, the Benefits Committee shall direct the Trustee to purchase with the Annuity Purchase Amount applicable to such Participant an
annuity for the life of his surviving spouse which may provide for payment for a term certain or a modified cash refund. 
  

 -56- 

 (c) A Participant may elect not to have benefits paid in the manner set forth under Sections
11.2, 11.3(a) or 11.3(b) and to have benefits paid as provided in Article 13. A Participant may also subsequently revoke any such election. Such an election or revocation must be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Benefits Committee and
shall be effective only if made during the applicable following periods: 
 1. In the case of a benefit described
in Sections 11.2 and 11.3(a), the 180 day period ending on the day reduced annuity payments to the Participant commence (or, where applicable, such extended period as may be required under regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury);

 2. In the case of a benefit described in Section 11.3(b), the period beginning with the first day of the
Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and ending on the date of his death, but in the case of a Participant whose employment with the Company has terminated, the period shall begin not later than the day his employment with the Company
terminates. 
 A Participant’s election to waive a qualified joint and survivor annuity under
Section 11.3(a) or his election to waive the survivor’s benefit under Section 11.3(b) shall be effective only if it is accompanied by the written consent of his spouse who is entitled to receive such a survivor annuity. Such written
consent shall acknowledge the effect of the election and must be witnessed by a representative of the Benefits Committee or by a Notary Public. However, such written consent is not necessary if: (1) there is no spouse, (2) the written
consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located, or (3) there exists any other circumstances that, under rules established by the Secretary of the Treasury, relieve a Participant from the requirement of obtaining the consent of
his spouse. 
  

 -57- 

 Within the period prior to commencement of annuity payments to the Participant (as
established under regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury), each Participant who is eligible under Section 11.2 to elect to receive his distribution in the form of an annuity shall be furnished with a written explanation of the
terms and conditions of the survivor annuities described under Sections 11.2, 11.3(a) and 11.3(b). Such explanation shall also describe the Participant’s right to make (or revoke), and the general financial effect of, an election not to receive
benefits in a manner described under such paragraphs, the requirement that the consent of his spouse be obtained before he can make the election described above with respect to such spouse, and the rights of his spouse. With regard to the survivor
annuities described in Section 11.3(b), such explanation shall be provided during the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending with the last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan
Year in which he attains age 35, except that if an Employee becomes a Participant on or after the date in which he attains age 35, such explanation shall be provided as soon as it is practicable to do so after the date on which such Employee becomes
a Participant.

 ARTICLE XII. 
 WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS FROM ACCOUNT 
 12.1 Withdrawal of After-Tax
Contributions, Matching Contributions and Rollover Contributions. Subject to the provisions of this Article 12 and to the first sentence of Section 11.1(a), a Participant (which term for purposes of this Article 12 shall include an Inactive
Participant) who remains in employment may make withdrawals from his account of Matching Contributions and earnings and appreciation thereon, no more than a total of one (1) time in any one Plan Year (other than a withdrawal made pursuant to
Section 12.4), and withdrawals from his account of After-Tax Contributions and Rollover Contributions, and earnings and appreciation thereon, no more than a total of four (4) times in any one Plan Year (other than a withdrawal made
pursuant to Section 12.4). Withdrawals shall be for not less than $300.00 except that the entire value of a Participant’s After-Tax Contributions may be withdrawn. Any withdrawal by a Participant shall be counted as a withdrawal under the
preceding sentence unless such withdrawal is made pursuant to Sections 12.2 or 12.4 of the Plan. Withdrawals pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be made in the following order of priority:

Plan, he has not made a withdrawal under this Section or any predecessor provision during the calendar year. No Employing Company Contributions will be made for six months following a withdrawal under this Section 12.1(e) unless the Participant

 -61- 

 (f) SIXTH, from Matching Contributions to the Plan
and Prior Plan (post December 31, 1990) plus earnings and appreciation thereon - an amount of cash (or, to the extent permitted under Section 11.1(a), Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock) specified by the Participant so long as

following a withdrawal under this Section 12.1(f) unless the Participant has demonstrated a Financial Hardship (as provided in Section 12.2). The foregoing suspension of the Employing Company Matching Contribution does not apply if the
Participant, as of the date of withdrawal, has attained age 59 1/2 or is receiving disability payments under a disability pay plan maintained by the Employing Company. 
 (g) Qualified Nonelective Contributions plus earnings and appreciation thereon may not be withdrawn at any time on account of hardship. 
  

 -62- 

 12.2 Withdrawals of Pre-Tax Contributions. 
 (a) A Participant may, upon proof of Financial Hardship satisfactory to the Benefits Committee, elect to withdraw such
portion of his account that is attributable to his Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions (excluding earnings and appreciation attributable thereto after December 31, 1988) as is needed on account of such Financial Hardship provided
he (1) has withdrawn to the maximum extent possible (i) all amounts enumerated in Section 12.1 (a)-(g) hereof, (2) has taken a nontaxable loan from the Plan to the maximum extent possible and (3) has not attained age
59 1/2 and is not disabled and entitled to receive
disability payments under a disability pay plan maintained by his Employing Company. Withdrawals under this Article 12 shall be permitted, according to the specific rules adopted by the Benefits Committee which shall be uniformly applied and
consistently followed. The term “Financial Hardship” means an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant resulting from: (1) the purchase of a primary residence; (2) tuition expenses for the next semester or quarter
for post-secondary education for the Participant or his dependents; (3) payments to prevent eviction or foreclosure on the Participant’s primary residence; (4) medical expenses not covered by insurance for the Participant or his
dependents; or (5) any other hardship consistent with regulations or other guidelines issued by the Internal Revenue Service. A Financial Hardship withdrawal hereunder is limited to the amount of actual financial need that is unavailable to the
Participant from the Participant’s other sources. The Benefits Committee may require the Participant to furnish a financial statement disclosing the amount of liquid assets otherwise available to him. The determination with respect to the
Financial Hardship shall be made by the Benefits Committee, shall be made on a non-discriminatory basis, and applied uniformly to all Participants under similar circumstances. 
  

 -63- 

 The Benefits Committee will make a determination that a withdrawal is necessary to meet a
Financial Hardship of a Participant provided that the Participant satisfies one of the following: 
 (1) The Participant
certifies that the Financial Hardship will place him and his immediate family in heavy financial need and that the need cannot be relieved: 
 (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, 
 (ii) by
reasonable liquidation of his assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need, 
 (iii) by cessation of his Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions to the Plan, or 
 (iv) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from plans maintained by the Company or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms. 
 (2) The Participant satisfies the following conditions: 
 (i) the Participant has obtained all other available distributions and nontaxable loans available under this Plan or any other plan maintained by an Employing Company, and 
 (ii) for the six month period following the Financial Hardship withdrawal all Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions under this Plan and any elective deferrals and employee contributions under any other plan maintained by an Employing Company shall be suspended. 
  

 -64- 

 (b) The Benefits Committee may, in its discretion, designate persons
other than members of the Benefits Committee to carry out such responsibilities of the Benefits Committee pursuant to this subsection (a) as it may see fit, including the determination that a Participant has incurred a Financial Hardship and
that a withdrawal of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions is necessary to meet the Financial Hardship. A Participant who has attained age 59 1/2, who is disabled and entitled to receive disability payments under
a disability pay plan maintained by his Employing Company, who is no longer employed by any Employing Company or Affiliated Company (a “terminated vested Participant”) or who is retired may withdraw, in whole or in part, his Pre-Tax
Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and earnings and appreciation thereon (provided he has withdrawn to the maximum extent possible all amounts enumerated in Section 12.1(a)-(g) hereof) in an amount of cash specified by the Participant
which shall not exceed the total of (i) the lesser (x) of the amount of all Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages (but not any earnings thereon), adjusted for the amount of any previous
distributions or withdrawals which have been made with respect to such Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions, or (y) the amount in his account attributable to such Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions and (ii) the
amount in his account attributable to the earnings and appreciation on Pre-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions. 
 12.3 Manner of Making Withdrawal. A Participant may make withdrawals from his account pursuant to Section 12.1 by giving Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. A Participant may make withdrawals from his account
pursuant to Sections 12.2 and 12.4, effective as of the Valuation Date following approval by the Benefits Committee or its designee of such withdrawal, by giving at least thirty days (or such lesser number of days as the Benefits

  

 -65- 

 
Committee may specify) prior written notice to his Employing Company on a form provided by it for such purpose. Payment to a Participant pursuant to a withdrawal election shall be made in cash
(except as provided in Section 11.1(a)) as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be made pro rata from the Investment Funds, including the Company Stock Fund and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund, in which the Participant’s account is
invested. 
 12.4 Withdrawal Because of Financial Emergency. If a Participant shall establish to the satisfaction of the
Benefits Committee in accordance with principles and procedures established by the Benefits Committee which are applicable to all persons similarly situated that a withdrawal to be made by him pursuant to this Article 12 is to be made by reason of a
financial emergency such as extraordinary medical expense incurred by reason of illness of the Participant or a member of his immediate family, educational expense of a member of the Participant’s immediate family or the need for funds to be
used for the purchase of a home for the Participant, then (i) the limitations on the number of withdrawals in any one Plan Year prescribed by Section 12.1 (including subsections (e) and (f) thereof) shall not be applicable to
such withdrawal, and (ii) Additional Company Contributions shall be available for such withdrawal, provided that the Participant has withdrawn or requested withdrawal of the entire amount available to him under paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d),
(e), and (f) of Section 12.1. The term “Financial Emergency” shall not include the loss of an opportunity to realize monetary gain. 
 12.5 For purposes of the Plan, all After-Tax Contributions contributed to the Plan and the Prior Plan on and after January 1, 1987 and the earnings and appreciation on such After-Tax Contributions
shall be treated as a separate contract for purposes of Section 72 of the Code. 
  

 -66- 

 12.6 Loans to Participants. Upon Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent
a Participant who is an Employee may request a loan from the Participant Loan Fund. 
 As soon as practicable after receipt of a
loan request containing all required information (subject to, in the case of loans for a period in excess of sixty (60) months, the completion of such documentation as the Benefits Committee may require and approval by the Benefits Committee)
such loan shall be granted, subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) The minimum amount of any loan
hereunder shall be $1,000. The maximum amount of any loan hereunder (when added to the outstanding balance or all other loans from the Plan) shall be the lesser of (i) 50% of the Participant’s entire vested interest under the Plan,
determined as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next preceding the date of the loan request, and (ii) $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of (A) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Participant during the one-year
period ending on the day before the loan was made, over (B) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date of the loan. 
 (b) The interest rate charged on a loan made pursuant to this Section 12.6 for any calendar month shall be a rate fixed by the Benefits Committee at the time the loan is made in accordance with its
loan administrative procedures. The Participant shall have the opportunity to modify the repayment period once during the life of the loan. The interest rate charged on a modified repayment period shall be the interest rate in effect at the time of
the modification. In no instance shall the rate of interest exceed that permitted by law. 
  

 -67- 

 (c) The principal amount of each loan must be repaid within a period
permissible under the Benefits Committee’s loan administrative procedures through equal periodic payments of principal (not less frequently than quarterly), together with interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate determined in
accordance with paragraph (b) above. With the exception of a loan used to purchase a principal residence for a Participant, the repayment period shall not exceed sixty (60) months. 
 A Participant who has made repayments with respect to an outstanding loan from the Plan for a period of at least twelve
(12) calendar months may prepay the entire outstanding balance of such loan at any time (but may not make a partial prepayment). 
 (d) Each loan to a Participant shall be secured by 50% of his entire vested interest under the Plan. 
 (e) No distribution shall be made to any Participant or Inactive Participant, Former Participant or to a Beneficiary unless and until all unpaid loans, including accrued interest thereon, have been
liquidated. If the loan is not repaid prior to distribution of the Participant’s account, the amount of such distribution shall be reduced by the portion of the Participant’s vested account balance used as a security interest held by the
Plan by reason of the outstanding loan, which amount shall be used as a repayment of the loan. 
 (f) Upon
repayment by a Participant of the principal and interest of any loan, whether in whole or in part, amounts credited to the Participant Loan Fund shall to the extent of such repayment be reduced, and the cash received shall be reinvested in
accordance with the then current investment directions of the Participant applicable to the contributions which were the source of loan. 
  

 -68- 

 The source of each loan to a Participant shall be determined according to
the following hierarchy: 
 (i) first, from the value of the Participant’s account attributable to Pre-Tax
Contributions; 
 (ii) second, from the account value attributable to Catch-Up Contributions; 
 (iii) third, from the account value attributable to vested Matching Contributions; 
 (iv) fourth from the account value attributable to vested Additional Company Contributions; 
 (v) fifth, from the account value attributable to Qualified Nonelective Contributions; 
 (vi) sixth, from the account value attributable to Rollover Contributions; 
 (vii) seventh, from the account value attributable to After-Tax Contributions; and 
 (viii) eighth, from the account value attributable to After-Tax Rollover Contributions. 
 Upon repayment of a loan, the cash received shall be applied and reinvested in reverse order (e.g., first to restore After-Tax Rollover
Contributions which were the source of the loan, if any, then After-Tax Contributions, Rollover Contributions, then Qualified Nonelective Contributions followed by Matching Contributions, Additional Company Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and,
lastly, Pre-Tax Contributions). 
  

 -69- 

 (g) Each Participant to whom a loan is made agrees, by endorsement of the
check representing the proceeds of the loan, (i) that such loan shall be secured by 50% of his entire vested interest in the Plan, (ii) to repay such loan as provided herein by payroll deduction or otherwise and (iii) that he accepts
the terms and conditions of such loan as set forth herein and/or as disclosed by the Benefits Committee. Loans for a term of not more than sixty (60) months may be effectuated by Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. If, within
three days after receipt of the check representing the proceeds of the loan the Participant decides not to enter into such loan, he shall return the proceeds of the loan to the Trustee, such loan shall be immediately canceled, and the funds
segregated for such loan shall be reinvested as soon as practicable in the Investment Fund from which funds were withdrawn for the purpose of making such loan. 
 (h) The Benefits Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions for its loans not inconsistent with the foregoing
requirements as the Benefits Committee deems appropriate. The Benefits Committee may, in its discretion, designate persons other than members of the Benefits Committee to carry out such responsibilities of the Benefits Committee pursuant to this
Section 13.6 as it may see fit, including approval of loans for a period in excess of sixty (60) months and the determination of any interest rate charged on a loan.

 ARTICLE XIII. 
 DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
 13.1 Retirement.

 (a) If a Participant or Inactive Participant retires, pursuant to a retirement plan of an Employing Company or of an
Affiliate, he may elect, upon Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent, to receive distribution of his entire account (regardless of the number of his Years of Service) in a single payment upon retirement as provided in Section 13.4.
For purposes of this Plan, any Employee who terminates his employment after attaining age 55 with ten (10) years of service shall be deemed to have terminated his employment due to early retirement. 
 (b) If the value of a Participant’s vested account balance (determined as of the applicable Valuation Date under Section 1.52) is
more than $5,000, determined without regard to that portion of the account balance attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings thereto) within the meaning of Section 7.1 of the Plan, in lieu of a single payment, a Participant (which
term shall include for purposes of this paragraph (b) an Inactive Participant or a Former Participant) may elect to receive payment with respect to his account either (i) in a single payment as of the last Valuation Date of any month
subsequent to his retirement date as he shall specify, (ii) over a period specified by him not exceeding fifteen (15) years in monthly, quarterly or annual installments consisting of an amount approximately equal to the amount in his
account divided by the number of installments then remaining (including the installment in question) each year payable commencing as of the last Valuation Date of any month following such retirement and as of the last Valuation Date of the same
month in each month, quarter or year thereafter until payment of all such installments is made and payment of each such installment shall be made in the manner and on the basis of valuation provided for in Section 11.1 (“15 year
installment method”). Any payment pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be subject to the following: 
 (i) no single sum payment may be made and no payment in installments shall commence later than the date upon which such payments must commence under the provisions of Section 13.4(b) hereof, and 
  

 -71- 

 (ii) if pursuant to a Participant’s election, payment of installments
shall commence after the Participant’s attainment of age 65, then the specified payment period shall not exceed such period as determined by the Benefits Committee which, on an actuarial basis, (A) will provide that the present value of
the payments to be made to the Participant is more than 50% of the present value of the total payments to be made to the Participant and his beneficiaries and (B) will not extend beyond the life expectancy of such Participant and his designated
beneficiary. 
 An election under this paragraph (b) shall be made by Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent
at any time before or after his retirement. A Participant who has elected to defer payment of his account or to receive installment payments may at any time change his election and either accelerate or defer within the limitations prescribed by this
paragraph (b), the time or payment of part or all of the remaining amounts in his account. If a Participant should die before complete payment of his account in accordance with this paragraph (b), the amount remaining in his account at his death
shall be distributed as soon as practicable to the Beneficiary unless such Participant, Inactive Participant or Former Participant had elected installment payments and had further elected that upon his death prior to receipt of all such amounts,
such installment payments shall be continued to the Beneficiary until payment of all remaining installments has been made. In the event such Participant had elected installment payments but

  

 -72- 

 
had not made a further election, then, if the Participant dies before complete payment of his account, installment payments may be continued to the Beneficiary until payment of all remaining
installments is made, if so elected by such Beneficiary. The purchase of an annuity shall be treated as the complete distribution of the balance of the account of the Participant. 
 13.2 Death. In the case of the death of a Participant (which term shall include for the purposes of this Section 13.2 an
Inactive Participant or a Former Participant), the amount in his account as of the Valuation Date determined under Section 1.52(d) (regardless of the number of his Years of Service) will, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) or
paragraph (d) of this Section 14.2, as soon as practicable: 
 (a) be distributed in a lump sum to the
Participant’s Beneficiary; or 
 (b) if the Participant shall have so elected prior to his death: 
 (i) be distributed to such Participant’s Beneficiary over a period of not less than two years nor more than five
(5) years in monthly, quarterly or annual installments consisting of an amount approximately equal to the amount in the Participant’s account divided by the number of installments then remaining (including the installment in question), or

 (ii) the amount in his account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the date on which
the Benefits Committee determines the Beneficiary is due an annuity benefit shall be applied to the purchase of an annuity (if available in light of the amount to be used for the purchase) for the life of such Participant’s Beneficiary (other
than the Participant’s executors or administrators), which annuity may provide for a term certain or a modified cash refund; or 
  

 -73- 

 (c) if the Participant has not prior to his death made an election in accordance with
paragraph (c), such Participant’s Beneficiary may, within sixty (60) days after the death of such Participant, elect that all of the amounts in the account of such deceased Participant be applied in accordance with clause (c)(i) or
(ii) as soon as practicable after receipt of such election. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.2 to the contrary, if the value of the Participant’s vested account balance is not more than $5,000 (the “cash-out
limit”), distribution of his vested account balance under this Section 13.2 shall be made to the Beneficiary in a single payment as soon as practicable. The value of a Participant’s vested account balance shall be determined without
regard to that portion of the account balance that is attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Section 7.1 of the Plan. In the event that the value of a Participant’s benefit is greater
than $1,000 (including any Rollover Contributions and earnings allocable thereto) but not more than the cash-out limit, if the Participant’s Beneficiary does not elect to have such benefit paid directly to an eligible retirement plan in
accordance with Section 13.7 or to receive the distribution directly, then the Benefits Committee shall pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Benefits Committee. 
 In the case that distribution is to be made in a lump sum or in installments to the Participant’s Beneficiary, such Beneficiary may,
within sixty (60) days after the death of such Participant, elect that commencement of such distribution be delayed to a future Valuation Date; provided, however that the account of such deceased Participant shall be distributed within five
years after the death of such Participant. If any person entitled to a distribution which is to be made in installments shall die before all installments to which he is entitled have been received by him, the remaining installments shall be paid to
his executor or administrator. An election by

  

 -74- 

 
such Participant in accordance with subsection (c) shall be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Benefits Committee and may be similarly revoked at any time prior to his death. An
election in accordance with subsection (d) shall be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Benefits Committee. 
 13.3 Termination of Employment for Any Reason Other Than Retirement or Death. If the employment of a Participant or Inactive Participant terminates for any reason other than retirement, death or transfer to another Employing Company
or to any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company which is not an Employing Company, the vested amount in his account shall continue to be held in his account for his benefit and shall be distributed in accordance with Article 11, or Article 18 in
the event of his death, at the earlier of (i) his normal retirement date pursuant to a retirement plan of an Employing Company, or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company which is not an Employing Company, or (ii) his death, unless:
either (1) the Participant or Inactive Participant makes an election in the manner provided under Section 13.1(b) (except that the term “termination date” shall be substituted for the term “retirement date” therein) or
(2) the value of his vested account balance (determined as of the Valuation Date on which the Participant’s or Inactive Participant’s employment terminated) is not more than $5,000 (the “cash-out limit”), in which case
distribution of his vested account balance shall be made to him in a single payment as soon as practicable as provided in Section 13.4. The value of a Participant’s vested account balance shall be determined without regard to that portion
of the account balance attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Section 7.1 of the Plan. In the event that the value of a Participant’s benefit is greater than $1,000 (including any
Rollover Contributions and earnings allocable thereto) but not more than the cash-out limit, if the Participant does not elect to have

  

 -75- 

 
such benefit paid directly to an eligible retirement plan in accordance with Section 13.7 or to receive the distribution directly, then the Benefits Committee shall pay the distribution in a
direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Benefits Committee. 
 Notwithstanding any Plan provision to
the contrary, in the event of a sale or disposition by the Company to a purchaser, which is an unrelated employer, of all or substantially all of the assets used in a trade or business by the Company or of the shares of a subsidiary, no termination
of employment will occur on the date of such sale or disposition with respect to a Participant who continues in employment with such unrelated employer where the purchaser agrees in connection with the sale or disposition to maintain the Plan as it
applies to such Participant and be substituted for the Company as the sponsor of the Plan or to establish a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to which assets in the amount of the Participant’s
account balance under the Plan will be transferred. The foregoing sentence does not apply if the sale or disposition of assets or shares of a subsidiary causes a Participant to incur a severance of employment for purposes of
Section 401(k)(2)(B)(I) of the Code, in which case the Participant shall be treated as having a termination of employment for purposes of this Section 13.3. 
 13.4 Timing of Distributions. 
 (a) Distributions under this Article 13
shall be made in respect of the Participant’s, Inactive Participant’s or Former Participant’s account as soon as practicable after the event giving rise such distribution provided all forms and consents required under administrative
procedures have been received by the Benefits Committee or the appropriate delegate or agent based on the Valuation Date immediately prior to actual disbursement. 
  

 -76- 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of the vested
account balance of a Participant, Inactive Participant or Former Participant, including incidental death benefits under Code Section 401(a)(9)(G), if any, may be made under a method of payment which, as of the “required beginning
date” (as defined in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder), satisfies the minimum distribution requirements under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and any applicable regulations. 
 (i) Each Participant, Inactive Participant or Former Participant who attains age 70 1/2 and who is not a 5% Owner shall have a required beginning date that
is April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which such Member attains age 70 1/2 or his retirement date. 
 (ii) For each Participant, Inactive Participant or Former Participant who is a 5% Owner, the required beginning date shall be April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he
attains age 70 1/2 even if still employed on such
date. 
 With respect to distributions under the Plan, the Plan will apply the minimum distribution requirements under
Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, in accordance with and to the extent necessary to comply with the regulations prescribed under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. 
 13.5 Reinstatement of Accounts. If a Participant or Inactive Participant who terminates employment receives a distribution of his
account pursuant to Section 13.3 which represents the full value of his account as of the date of such distribution and if prior to incurring a One Year Break in Service he is reemployed by an Employing Company as an Employee, he may, within
thirty (30) days after his reemployment, repay in cash to the Trustee

  

 -77- 

 
an amount equal to the cash he received and an amount equal to the value (determined as of the Valuation Date as of which the distribution was made) of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock distributed
to him. The amount repaid shall be invested by the Trustee in such Investment Funds as determined by the Participant and in the manner specified by the Benefits Committee or if the Participant makes no investment determination in the QDIA, as
described in Section 8.2, provided, however, that no portion of the amount repaid may be invested in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund on or after the Effective Date. Such amounts shall be allocated to the Participant’s or Inactive
Participant’s Matching Contributions or Additional Company Contributions account and to his account attributable to his After-Tax Contributions in the same proportion as was the amount in one account to the amount in the other account which was
redeemed to make distribution of his accounts, and the amount so allocated shall constitute the beginning balances in such accounts. 
 13.6 Payment of Eligible Rollover Distributions. Any distributee (as defined below) who is entitled to receive a distribution of benefits under the Plan may elect to have all or a portion of such benefit distribution that qualifies
as an eligible rollover distribution under Section 402(c)(4) of the Code paid directly to a single eligible retirement plan specified by such individual. The Benefits Committee shall establish uniform procedures for making such direct rollover
elections. Any amount that is a distribution on account of hardship shall not be an “eligible retirement distribution” for purposes of this Section 13.6, and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such distribution paid
directly to an eligible retirement plan. 
 For purposes of this Section 13.6, “distributee” means (i) a
Participant, (ii) the surviving spouse of a Participant, (iii) an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, or (iv) a non-spouse Beneficiary. 
  

 -78- 

 For purposes of this Section 13.6, an “eligible retirement plan” is an
individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract), an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the
Code or a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, the terms of which permit acceptance of such direct rollover distribution. An “eligible retirement plan” shall also mean an annuity contract
described in Section 403(b) of the Code or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agent or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state
and which agrees to account separately for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. In the case of a non-spouse Beneficiary, an “eligible retirement plan” shall include only (i) an individual retirement account described in
Section 408(a) of the Code or (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract), established for the purpose of receiving the eligible rollover distribution on behalf of
such non-spouse Beneficiary. 
 The same definition of “eligible retirement plan” that applies with respect to
distributions to a Participant shall also apply in the case of distributions to the surviving spouse of a Participant or to a spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in
Section 414(p) of the Code. 
 A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely
because such portion consists of After-Tax Contributions. Such portion, however, may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract), to a
qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code or to an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to account separately for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such
distributions that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution that is not so includible. 
  

 -79- 

 If a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such
distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that: 
 (a) the Benefits Committee clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or
not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and 
 (b) the Participant, after receiving
the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 
 13.7 Inability to Locate Payee. Where amounts become distributable
under the Plan and the Benefits Committee is unable for a period of twenty-four months from the date the Participant’s account becomes eligible for distribution to locate the Participant or beneficiary to whom the distribution is payable, such
amounts shall be reallocated to offset future contributions of the Company. In the event the Participant or his beneficiary thereafter makes proper claim to the Benefits Committee, the amount payable to such Participant or beneficiary shall be
distributed by the Company in the form of a special contribution.

 ARTICLE XIV. 
 TRANSFER OF A PARTICIPANT 
 14.1 If a Participant shall cease to be
employed by one Employing Company and shall become employed as an Employee by another Employing Company, his participation in the Plan shall not be affected. 
 14.2 If a Participant shall cease to be employed as an Employee and shall become employed by an Affiliate of the Company which is not an Employing Company, or in a division or branch of an Employing
Company or employee classification which is not participating in the Plan, he shall, except as provided in Section 14.3, be deemed to have given notice to suspend the making of Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages and he shall not be entitled to an allocation of Additional Company Contributions effective with his last payroll period ending in the month of his transfer. The suspension shall continue so long
as he remains in the employ of any Affiliate of the Company which is not an Employing Company or of a division or branch of an Employing Company which is not participating in the Plan or is included in an employee classification, which employee
classification is not covered by the participation provisions of the Plan. Such Inactive Participant’s period of employment by any such Affiliate, division, or branch, or in any such ineligible employee classification, shall be taken into
account in determining his Years of Service in the same manner and to the same extent as if such employment had been employment as an Employee with an Employing Company without taking into account any suspension in the making of Pre-Tax
Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages or the cessation of allocations of Additional Company Contributions as the result of this Section 14.2. Should he terminate his employment
with any such Affiliate, division or branch, or while in any

  

 -81- 

 
such ineligible employee classification and not become an Employee of an Employing Company, his employment shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of the Plan at the time of such
termination. The Benefits Committee, in its discretion, may determine that a Participant will be deemed to have terminated his employment for purposes of the Plan upon the sale of an Employing Company or of substantially all the assets of a division
of the Company or of an Employing Company which employs such Participant. 
 14.3 If a Participant who is a United States
citizen shall become employed by a foreign affiliate of an Employing Company (as the term “foreign affiliate” is defined in Section 1.23) and all of the conditions of Section 1.23 which permit him to be deemed to be an Employee
of such Employing Company exist at the time of his transfer of employment and continue to exist during his employment by such foreign affiliate, his transfer of employment shall not affect his participation in the Plan. If, at any time while he
remains in the employment of such foreign affiliate, the conditions of Section 1.23 which permit him to be deemed to be an Employee cease for any reason, he shall at such time be regarded as having been transferred to an Affiliate of the
Company which is not an Employing Company. Should he terminate his employment with any such foreign affiliate and not become an Employee of an Employing Company, his employment shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of the Plan at the time
of such termination. 
 14.4 If an Employee transfers from service with an Employing Company to employment with an Affiliate
that is not an Employing Company and becomes a participant in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Employee Incentive Thrift Plan (the “Thrift Plan”), then as soon as practicable following his commencement of participation in the Thrift Plan,
the total value of his vested account in the Plan shall be transferred to a corresponding account in the

  

 -82- 

 
Thrift Plan. If an individual who was a participant in the Thrift Plan transfers from employment with an Affiliate that is not an Employing Company to service with an Employing Company and
becomes a Participant, then as soon as practicable following his commencement of participation in the Plan, the total value of his vested and nonvested interest in his account in the Thrift Plan shall be transferred to a corresponding account in the
Plan. 
  

 -83- 

 ARTICLE XV. 
 SUSPENSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS 
 15.1 A Participant, by Electronic
Notification to the Administrative Agent, may voluntarily suspend the making of his Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages effective with his next payroll period. A
Participant may terminate such a suspension of his Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax Contributions effective with his next payroll period by Electronic Notification to the Administrative Agent. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, a Participant’s election not to make After-Tax Contributions shall not be deemed a suspension for any period during which Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions are being made and a Participant’s election not to
make Pre-Tax Contributions or Catch-Up Contributions shall not be deemed a suspension for any period in which After-Tax Contributions are being made. 
  

 -84- 

 ARTICLE XVI. 
 EFFECT OF SUSPENSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS 
 16.1 Whenever the making of Pre-Tax
Contributions and After-Tax Contributions is suspended for any reason, all Employing Company Contributions made on behalf of the Participant under the Plan shall be suspended. If an event causing suspension under the Plan occurs during a period when
a suspension is already in effect, the periods of suspension shall run concurrently. When all suspensions are ended, unless the participation of the Participant has been terminated, the making of After-Tax Contributions and/or Pre-Tax Contributions
from Annual Benefit Salary or Wages shall be resumed (if the Employee elects to resume) beginning with the Participant’s first payroll period commencing after all suspensions are ended, and Employing Company Contributions also shall be resumed.
There shall be no makeup of Pre-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions from Annual Benefit Salary or Wages or of Employing Company Contributions with respect to a period of suspension, except as may be otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 17.1(d). 
  

 -85- 

 ARTICLE XVII. 
 LEAVE OF ABSENCE, LAYOFF, ABSENCE ON 
 DISABILITY AND REEMPLOYMENT 

 17.1(a) A participant’s temporary absence pursuant to any leave of absence (including a family care and adoption
assistance leave) granted in accordance with his Employing Company’s established leave policies which shall be applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all Participants under similar circumstances, will not be considered a
termination of employment and, except for months during which the Participant is on a personal leave and in respect of which he made no allotments, shall be considered a period of active employment with his Employing Company in determining his Years
of Service, provided the Participant returns to employment with an Employing Company as an employee prior to or upon expiration of the period of leave or, in the case of a Participant who has been granted a leave of absence for military service,
within ninety (90) days after the time he first becomes eligible for release or discharge from active duty (or such longer period as may be prescribed by law for the protection of reemployment rights). If a Participant is granted a leave of
absence for military service (including a paid leave of absence as described in subsection (c) hereof) and does not return to employment within such ninety (90)-day period, his employment for purposes of this Plan shall be deemed to have
terminated as of the expiration of such ninety (90)-day period. 
 (b) If a Participant is granted a leave of absence without
pay (including unpaid leave for governmental service, and a family care and adoption assistance leave) by his Employing Company, there shall be no Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions or After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit
Salary or Wages or allocation of an Additional Company Contribution during the period of such leave of absence, except as may be otherwise provided pursuant to subsection (d) hereof and in Section 17.3. 
  

 -86- 

 (c) If a Participant is granted a leave of absence with pay for military service under a
policy of his Employing Company which provides for such paid leave, such Participant may make Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages during such leave of absence;
provided, however, that for purposes of the foregoing, the Participant’s Annual Benefit Salary or Wages during a period of military service shall be deemed to be that in effect at the time he commenced such service less the amount of his base
military pay for such period. A Participant who is receiving payments pursuant to a paid military leave policy of his Employing Company may at any time, if he so elects, suspend Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and After-Tax
Contributions from such payments in accordance with Article 16. In the event a Participant’s period of military service exceeds the period for which he is entitled to payment by his Employing Company pursuant to its paid military leave policy,
such Participant shall, as of the day on which such entitlement ceases, be deemed to be granted a leave of absence without pay for military service. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with
Section 414(u) of the Code. 
 17.2 If a Participant is laid off, there shall be no Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up
Contributions or After-Tax Contributions from his Annual Benefit Salary or Wages or allocation of Additional Company Contributions during the period of layoff. If a Participant or Inactive Participant is laid off and returns as an Employee in active
service within six (6) months of his layoff, the period of his layoff shall be considered as a period of active

  

 -87- 

 
employment with his Employing Company in determining his Years of Service. If the Participant or Inactive Participant returns as an Employee in active service after six (6) months but within
twelve (12) months of his layoff, his employment shall not be deemed to have terminated by reason of such layoff for purposes of the Plan but the period of his layoff shall not be considered in determining his Years of Service under the Plan.
If at the end of twelve (12) months the Participant or Inactive Participant has not returned as an Employee in active service, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, his employment shall be deemed to have terminated at such time
for purposes of the Plan. 
 17.3 Disability. If a Participant becomes disabled on or after the Effective Date and is
entitled to receive disability payments under a disability pay plan maintained by his Employing Company, he shall be considered to be on a leave of absence which shall be deemed to continue so long as he continues to be entitled to receive monthly
disability payments under such a disability pay plan. Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions may not be made from such disability payments. Additional Company Contributions shall not be made on behalf of a
Participant during the period when he is entitled to receive monthly disability payments under a disability pay plan maintained by his Employing Company. If immediately following the end of the period during which the Participant is entitled to
receive disability payments he is neither an Employee in active service nor on leave of absence, his employment shall be deemed to have terminated at such time for purposes of the Plan. 
 17.4 Reemployment. 
 (a) If the service of an Employee is terminated and he is reemployed by an Employing Company as an Employee, he may elect, in accordance with Article 2, to participate in the Plan on an Enrollment Date following the date of his reemployment
with an Employing Company as an Employee (which shall, for the purposes of this paragraph (a), include reinstatement to status as a disabled Employee). 
  

 -88- 

 (b) If an Employee’s service is terminated and he again becomes an Employee (which
shall, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), include reinstatement to status as a disabled Employee), his Years of Service prior to the termination of his service shall be restored. 
  

 -89- 

 ARTICLE XVIII. 
 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES IN THE EVENT 
 OF DEATH 
 18.1 A Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or part of the amount in his account in case of his death if
such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be living at the time of his death, however, a married Participant may not designate a beneficiary other than his spouse. A Participant may, subject to the preceding sentence, change or revoke a designation of
beneficiary and such designation, change or revocation shall be on a form to be provided for the purpose and shall be signed by the Participant and delivered to the designated agent of the Company prior to his death. In case of the death of the
Participant, the amount in his account with respect to which a designation of beneficiary has been made (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be distributed in accordance with the Plan to the surviving designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries. The amount in the Participant’s account distributable upon death and not subject to such a designation, or if no beneficiary shall be living at the death of the Participant, shall be distributed following his death
to the person or persons in the first of the following classes of successive preference: 
  

	 	(1)	The Participant’s surviving spouse. 

  

	 	(2)	To such one or more of the Participant’s surviving children in equal shares. 

  

	 	(3)	The Participant’s surviving parents, in equal shares. 

  

	 	(4)	To such one or more of the Participant’s surviving brothers and sisters as the Benefits Committee shall determine in equal shares. 

  

	 	(5)	The Participant’s executors or administrators. 

  

 -90- 

 Payment to such one or more persons shall completely discharge the Plan and the Trustee with
respect to the amount so paid. Prior to the date of such payment, such Beneficiary may (upon provision of such documentation as the Benefits Committee may require) request inter-Investment Fund transfers pursuant to Section 8.5. 
  

 -91- 

 ARTICLE XIX. 
 TRUSTEE OF THE PLAN 
 19.1 Trust Agreement. The assets of the Plan
shall be held in a trust or trusts by a trustee(s) appointed by the Company. If the Company so determines, the Company may enter into a trust agreement or trust agreements with additional trustees. Any trust agreement may be amended by the Company
from time to time in accordance with its terms. Any trust agreement shall provide, among other things, that all funds received by the Trustee thereunder will be held, administered, invested and distributed by the Trustee, and that no part of the
corpus or income of the trust held by the Trustee shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants, Inactive Participants or Former Participants or their Beneficiaries. Any trust agreement may also
provide that the investment and reinvestment of any Investment Fund or part thereof may be carried out in accordance with directions given to the Trustee by any investment advisor or advisors which may be designated by the Benefits Committee and
which shall qualify as an “Investment Manager” as that term is defined in ERISA. The Company may remove any Trustee or any successor Trustee, and any Trustee or any successor Trustee may resign. Upon removal or resignation of a Trustee the
Company shall appoint a successor Trustee. 
 19.2 Purchases of Company Stock. Following the establishment of the Company
Stock Fund, as soon as practicable after receipt of funds for investment in the Company Stock Fund, the Trustee shall purchase Company Stock, or cause such Stock to be purchased, on the open market or by private purchase, provided that no private
purchase may be made at any price greater than the last sale price or highest current independent bid price, whichever is higher, for Company Stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may hold in cash, and may
temporarily invest in short-term United States Government obligations, commercial paper or other investments of a short-term nature, funds allocated to the Company Stock Fund pending investment of such funds in Company Stock or for liquidity
purposes. 
  

 -92- 

 19.3 Purchases of Securities for the Investment Funds. As soon as practicable after
the Trustee receives funds for investment in the Investment Funds, the Trustee shall invest such funds in the Investment Fund designated for such investment or, if the Trust Agreement so provides, the Trustee shall invest such funds as directed by
an Investment Manager or the Benefits Committee. Purchases in respect of the Investment Funds may be made on the open market or directly from the issuer. 
 19.4 Voting of Company Stock and Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock. Before each annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company, there shall be sent to each Participant any portion of whose
account balance is invested in the Company Stock Fund or the Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock Fund a copy of the proxy soliciting material for the meeting, together with a form requesting instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the Company Stock or the
Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock, as applicable, held on his behalf in the applicable stock fund on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the record date of the applicable stock. The Benefits Committee may appoint a person or persons to solicit and/or
tabulate the votes of Participants and to communicate the results thereof to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall vote such stock as instructed by the Participant. All stock for which the Trustee does not receive
instructions shall be voted by the Trustee on each issue in the same proportion as those shares for which it has received instructions from Participants. 
  

 -93- 

 19.5 Tendering of Company Stock and Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock. The Trustee may not
take any action in response to a tender offer except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.5. Each Participant, a named fiduciary within the meaning of Section 403(a)(1) of ERISA, may direct the Trustee in writing to sell, exchange or
transfer the Company Stock and Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock in his account in accordance with the terms of such tender offer. To the extent to which Participants do not instruct the Trustee or do not issue valid or timely directions to the Trustee to
sell, exchange or transfer the Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock in their accounts, Participants shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee that such shares be retained and not disposed of under the terms of the tender offer. The
Company, the Board of Directors, the Benefits Committee and the Trustee shall not interfere in any manner with a Participant’s decision as to whether to sell, exchange or transfer the Company Stock or Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock in his account.
The Trustee shall arrange for Participant directions or instructions to be made on a confidential basis, and the Benefits Committee shall communicate to Participants the provisions of this Section 19.5. The Trustee shall use its best efforts to
distribute or cause to be distributed to Participants all communications directed generally to the owners of Company Stock and Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock, except to the extent the Company distributes such communications directly to Participants.

 19.6 Any cash proceeds received by the Trustee as a result of the sale of Company Stock pursuant to a tender offer shall be
reinvested by the Trustee in Company Stock if such stock is available for purchase provided such Company Stock continues to be traded on a national securities exchange. If Company Stock is no longer traded on a national securities exchange, then the
proceeds of such sale shall be invested as directed by the Benefits Committee. Any cash proceeds received by the trustee as a result of the sale of Bristol-Myers Squibb Stock pursuant to a tender offer shall be invested as directed by the Benefits
Committee. 
  

 -94- 

 19.7 Voting of Shares in Certain Investment Funds. Before each annual or special
meeting of shareholders of an Investment Fund which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, there shall be sent to each Participant any portion of whose account balance is invested in such Investment Fund a copy of the proxy
soliciting material for the meeting, together with a form requesting instructions to the Trustee on how to vote the shares of the Investment Fund held on his behalf on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the record date of the Investment Fund.
The Administrative Agent shall solicit and/or tabulate the votes of Participants and communicate the results thereof to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall vote such Investment Fund shares as instructed by the
Participant. All shares of the Investment Fund for which the Administrative Agent does not receive instructions shall not be voted. 
 19.8 Uninvested Funds. The Trustee may keep uninvested an amount of cash sufficient in its opinion to enable it to carry out the purposes of the Plan. No income shall accrue to an account of any Participant on such uninvested funds.

 19.9 Audit. The Board of Directors shall select a firm of independent public accountants to examine and report
annually on the financial position and the results of operations of the trust forming a part of the Plan. 
  

 -95- 

 ARTICLE XX. 
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 
 20.1 The Plan shall be administered by a
committee (the “Benefits Committee”), consisting of such number of persons, not less than three, as shall from time to time be determined by the MJN Board. Members shall be appointed by the MJN Board. Any member of the Benefits Committee
may resign or be removed by the MJN Board and new members may be appointed by the MJN Board. 
 20.2 Any member of the Benefits
Committee may resign by delivering his written resignation to the MJN Board and such resignation shall become effective upon delivery or upon any later date specified therein. 
 20.3 The Benefits Committee shall select a Chairman and may select a Secretary (who may, but need not, be a member of the Benefits
Committee) to keep its records or to assist it in the doing of any act or thing to be done or performed by the Benefits Committee. 
 20.4 A majority of the members of the Benefits Committee at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. Any determination or action of the Benefits Committee may be made or taken by a
majority of the members present at any meeting thereof, or without a meeting by a resolution or written memorandum concurred in by a majority of the members then in office. 
 20.5 The Benefits Committee shall: 
 (a) control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan, and it shall be deemed the “Administrators” of the Plan as the term “Administrator” is defined in ERISA and shall
be, in its capacity as “Administrator” with respect to the Plan, a “named fiduciary” as that term is defined in ERISA; 
  

 -96- 

 (b) be a “named fiduciary” with respect to oversight of the
Trustee and control or management of the assets of the Plan so as to permit the Benefits Committee to delegate authority to manage, acquire, or dispose of assets of the Plan to one or more Investment Managers as provided in Section 402(c)(3) of
ERISA. 
 20.6 The Benefits Committee may, in its discretion, designate individual members of the Benefits Committee or persons
other than members of the Benefits Committee to carry out such responsibilities of the Benefits Committee under the Plan as it may see fit, including, but not limited to, the determination of questions concerning the eligibility of any employee to
participate in or receive benefits under the Plan, the approval of withdrawals and loans from the Plan, the interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan, the resolution of ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions therein, and the
resolution and determination of any appeal of the denial of a claim for benefits under the Plan. The delegation of responsibilities will be effected by written instrument executed by the Benefits Committee. 
 20.7 If a trust agreement forming a part of the Plan so provides, the Benefits Committee shall have the authority to appoint an Investment
Manager or Managers to manage (including the power to acquire and dispose of) some part or all of the assets of the Plan held by a trustee, to retain in the Benefits Committee the power to invest such assets or to delegate such responsibility to the
trustee, as shall be provided in the trust agreement. 
 20.8 It is intended, that to the maximum extent permitted by ERISA,
each person who is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Plan as that term is defined in ERISA shall be responsible for the proper exercise of his own powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan and the trust forming a part
thereof, and any other funding medium, as shall each person designated by any fiduciary to carry out any fiduciary responsibility with respect to the Plan,

  

 -97- 

 
the trust or other funding medium, and no fiduciary or other person to whom fiduciary responsibilities are allocated shall be liable for any act or omission of any other fiduciary or of any other
person delegated to carry out any fiduciary or other responsibility under the Plan or any trust or any other funding medium. 
 20.9 The Benefits Committee may employ such independent “qualified public accountants” as such term is defined in ERISA, legal counsel who may be of counsel to the Company, other specialists and other persons as the Benefits
Committee deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan, and the Benefits Committee, and any person to whom it may delegate any duty or power in connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company and the
officers and directors thereof shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon and shall be fully protected in any action omitted, taken or suffered by them in good faith in reliance upon any independent qualified public accountant, counsel or other
specialist or other person selected by the Benefits Committee or in reliance upon any evaluations, certificates, opinions or reports which shall be furnished by any of them or by any Trustee or any insurance company. 
 20.10 The determination of the Benefits Committee as to any question involving the general administration and interpretation of the Plan and
such determinations made by each person to whom the Benefits Committee may delegate its responsibilities under the Plan, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons claiming any interest in or under the Plan, except as otherwise provided
by law, and may be relied upon by the Company, all Employing Companies, the Trustee, Administrative Agent and Participants and their beneficiaries. (The term “Participants” includes Inactive Participants, Former Participants and
Beneficiaries wherever used in this Article 20). Any discretionary actions to be taken under the Plan by the

  

 -98- 

 
Benefits Committee, and such actions taken by each person to whom the Benefits Committee may delegate its responsibilities under the Plan, shall be uniform in their nature and applicable to all
persons similarly situated, shall not be subject to de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration or in any other forum and shall be upheld unless found to be an abuse of discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Benefits Committee shall have the following discretionary authority and responsibilities in addition to those provided elsewhere herein: 
 (a) to grant or deny claims for benefits under the Plan; 
 (b) to require any
person to furnish such information as it may request for the purpose of the proper administration of the Plan as a condition of receiving any benefit under the Plan; 
 (c) to make and enforce such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan consistent with the provisions thereof and to prescribe the use of such forms and other methods of communication and
notification as it shall deem necessary for the efficient administration of the Plan; 
 (d) to interpret and construe the
provisions of the Plan, and to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions therein; 
 (e) to decide such questions as
may arise in connection with the operation of the Plan including, but not limited to, questions concerning the eligibility of any Employee to participate in or receive benefits under the Plan; and 
 (f) to determine the amount of benefits which shall be payable to any person in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and to authorize
payment of such benefits. 
  

 -99- 

 20.11 The Benefits Committee, in its discretion, may require as a condition of receiving,
any payment under the Plan, the filing with the Benefits Committee of an authorization or release by the spouse of a Participant divesting such spouse of any rights in the Plan or in any payments thereunder which such spouse may have by operation of
law under the laws of his matrimonial domicile, or otherwise. 
 20.12 The Benefits Committee shall maintain or cause to be
maintained accounts which accurately reflect the interest of each Participant. The Benefits Committee shall mail to Participants reports to be furnished to Participants in accordance with the Plan or as required by ERISA. Any notice, reports or
statements to be given, furnished, made or delivered to a Participant shall be deemed duly given, furnished, made or delivered when addressed to the Participant and delivered to the Participant in person or mailed by ordinary mail to his address
last appearing on the books of the Company or of his Employing Company. 
 20.13 Consistent with the requirements of ERISA and
the regulations thereunder of the Secretary of Labor from time to time in effect, the Benefits Committee shall: 
 (a) provide adequate notice in writing to any employee, former employee, retired employee or beneficiary under the Plan (each being hereinafter in this Section 20.13 referred to as “participant”) whose claim for benefits
under the plan has been denied, setting forth specific reasons for such denial, written in a manner calculated to be understood by such participant, and 
 (b) afford a reasonable opportunity to any participant whose claim for benefits has been denied for a full and fair review of the decision denying the claim, as described in Section 20.19.

  

 -100- 

 20.14 Unless otherwise agreed to by the MJN Board, the members of the Benefits Committee
shall serve without compensation for their services as such, but all reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties shall be paid by the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the laws of the United States or by the MJN Board, no
member of the Benefits Committee shall be required to give any bond or other security in any jurisdiction. No member of the Benefits Committee shall be personally liable under any contract, agreement, bond or other instrument made or executed by him
or on his behalf as a member of the Benefits Committee. 
 20.15 Expenses of Administering the Plan. 
 (a) Expenses incurred with respect to the management of an Investment Fund or the administration and recordkeeping of
Participants’ accounts, including Trustees’ fees, may be charged appropriately against the accounts of Participants, as directed by the Benefits Committee. Brokerage fees, transfer taxes and other expenses incident to the purchase or sale
of securities by the trustee shall be deemed to be part of the cost of such securities or deducted in computing the proceeds therefrom, as the case may be. Transfer taxes in connection with distribution of Company Stock and Bristol-Myers Squibb
Stock to Participants or their beneficiaries shall be borne by the Participant. Taxes, if any, on any assets held or income received by the Trustee shall be charged appropriately against the accounts of Participants as the Benefits Committee shall
determine. 
 (b) Expenses incurred with respect to the administration of the Plan, including but not limited to
the compensation of legal counsel, accountants or the Trustee, may be paid by the Plan in accordance with Section 14.5 of the Plan, unless paid by the Company, at the Company’s discretion. Any taxes which may be levied against assets of
the Plan shall be paid from the Plan, unless paid by the Company at the Company’s discretion. 
  

 -101- 

 20.16 Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with
respect to the Plan and fiduciaries with respect to the Plan may serve as a fiduciary with respect to the Plan in addition to being an officer, employee, agent or other representative of a “party in interest” as that term is defined in
ERISA. 
 20.17 Whenever a Plan provision or Plan administrative procedure requires that the Participant (or Inactive
Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary) give directions or prior notice to the Benefits Committee or Administrative Agent, such direction or notice shall be provided to the Benefits Committee or Administrative Agent sufficiently in advance
to implement the Participant’s instructions in accordance with the Benefits Committee’s or Administrative Agent’s standard procedures with respect to the type of instruction being implemented, and in such manner (written or otherwise)
as the Benefits Committee shall communicate to Participants. 
 20.18 The Benefits Committee shall have the authority to
determine whether a Qualified Nonelective Contribution shall be made on behalf of a Participant or whether a Participant may elect to make additional Basic or Supplementary Contributions in order to correct an Administrative Error. 
 20.19 Claims. Claims for benefits under the Plan may be filed with the Benefits Committee subject to the following provisions:

identifies the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which a claim determination is expected to be made. 
  

 -103- 

 (iii) If notice of a denial or of the extension of the time for processing a

give the applicant or his representative an opportunity to review pertinent materials, other than legally privileged documents, in connection with the review. Any request for review of the initial adverse determination not filed within sixty

claim determination is expected to be made. 
 (ii) In the event that the time period is extended due to a
claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim on review, the claimant shall have sixty (60) days within which to provide the necessary information, and the period for making the claim 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 or, if earlier, the expiration of sixty (60) days. 
 (iii) The Benefits Committee’s review of a denied claim shall take into account all comments, documents, records and

 (ii) No inquiry or question shall be deemed to be a claim or a request for a
review of a denied claim unless made in writing within the timeframe specified herein. The Benefits Committee may require that any claim for benefits and any request for a review of a denied claim be filed on forms to be furnished by the Benefits
Committee upon request. 
 (iii) Claimants may be represented by a lawyer or other representative at their own
expense, but the Benefits Committee reserves the right to require the claimant to furnish written authorization and establish reasonable procedures for determining whether an individual has been authorized to act on behalf of a claimant. A
claimant’s representative shall be entitled to copies of all notices given to the claimant.

information shall be considered “relevant” if such document, record or other information: (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit
determination, without regard to whether such document, record or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (iii) demonstrates compliance with the administration processes and safeguards designed to ensure that the
benefit claim determination was made in accordance with governing Plan documents and that, where appropriate, the Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants; and (iv) constitutes a statement of
policy or guidance with respect to the Plan concerning the denied treatment option or benefit for the claimant’s diagnosis, without regard to whether such advice or statement was relied upon in making the benefit determination.

denial of any claim. 
 (j) Deadline to File Claim. To be considered timely under the Plan’s claim and review
procedure, a claim must be filed with the Benefits Committee within two (2) years after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the principal facts upon which the claim is based. If or to the extent that the claim relates to
a failure to effect a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s investment directions or a Participant’s election regarding contributions, a claim must be filed with the Benefits Committee within nine (9) months after the claimant knew or
reasonably should have known of the principal facts upon which the claim is based. 
  

 -108- 

 (k) Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. The exhaustion of the claim and review
procedure is mandatory for resolving every claim and dispute arising under this Plan. In any subsequent legal action, all explicit and all implicit determinations by the Benefits Committee (including, but not limited to, determinations as to whether
the claim, or a request for a review of a denied claim, was timely filed) shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law. 
 (l) Deadline to File Legal Action. Except as provided in Section 413 of ERISA, no legal action to recover Plan benefits or to enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under Section 502 or Section 510 of ERISA or under
any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, may be brought by any claimant on any matter pertaining to this Plan unless the legal action is commenced in the proper forum before the earlier of: 
 (i) three (3) years after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the principal facts on which the claim is
based, or 
 (ii) one (1) year after the claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedure. 

(m) Knowledge of Fact by Member Imputed to Beneficiary. For the purpose of applying the deadlines to file a claim or a legal
action, knowledge of all facts that a Member knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to every claimant who is or claims to be a beneficiary of the Member or otherwise claims to derive an entitlement by reference to the Member for the
purpose of applying the previously specified periods.

 21.1 Top Heavy Plan Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if for any Plan Year the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 22.3) within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code, then the following requirements shall
apply: 
 (a) The top heavy minimum contribution requirement of Section 416(c) of the Code set forth in
Section 21.4; 
 (b) The top heavy limitation on compensation requirement of Section 416(d) of the Code
set forth in Section 21.5; 
 21.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Article 22, the following terms shall have the
respective meanings set forth below: 
 (a) “Aggregation Group” means either a Required Aggregation
Group (as defined in subsection 21.2(g)) or a Permissive Aggregation Group (as defined in subsection 21.2(f)). 
 (b) “Determination Date” means, with respect to any Plan Year, (i) the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year, or (ii) in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of such Plan Year. 

(c) “Key Employee” means, for any Plan Year, an Employee within the meaning of Section 416(i)(1) of the
Code. 
 (d) “Non-Key Employee” means any employee of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation or
beneficiary of such employee who is not a Key Employee, within the meaning of Section 416(i)(2) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  

 -110- 

 (e) “Pension Plan” means any defined benefit plan or any defined
contribution plan. 
 (f) “Permissive Aggregation Group” means a Required Aggregation Group (as defined
in subsection 22.1(g)) that also includes a Pension Plan of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation which, although not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group, is treated by the Company or an Affiliated Corporation as being part
of such Required Aggregation Group, provided that such Required Aggregation Group would continue to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with such Pension Plan being taken into account. 
 (g) “Required Aggregation Group” means (i) each Pension Plan of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation in
which a Key Employee is a member, and (ii) each other Pension Plan of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation which enables any Pension. Plan described in the immediately preceding clause (i) to meet the requirements of
Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code. A terminated Pension Plan shall be included in the Required Aggregation Group as provided in subsection (h) of this Section 21.2. 
 (h) “Top Heavy Group” means, with respect to any Plan Year, an Aggregation Group if, as of the Determination Date
with respect to such Plan Year, (i) the sum of (1) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits (determined, in accordance with Section 416(g) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, as of the most recent date which is
within a twelve (12) month period ending on such Determination Date that is used for computing Defined Benefit Plan costs for minimum funding) for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in such Aggregation Group, and
(2) the aggregate of the accounts (determined, in accordance with Section 416(g) of the Code and the

  

 -111- 

 
regulations thereunder, as of the valuation date (as provided in Section 9.3 coincident with or immediately preceding such Determination Date) of Key Employees under all defined
contributions plans included in such Aggregation Group, exceeds (ii) 60% of a similar sum determined for Key Employees and Non-Key Employees; provided, however, that if any employee is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any Pension Plan for any
Plan Year, but such employee was a Key Employee with respect to such Pension Plan for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefits for such employee and any account of such employee shall not be taken into account for purposes of the foregoing
determination. The present value of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with
the Plan during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan in a Required
Aggregation Group. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period”. Accrued
benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for an Employing Company during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account. 
 21.3 Determination of Top Heavy Plan. The Plan shall be a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year in which the Plan is included in a Top

the Code, the Employing Company contribution for such Plan Year for each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee, regardless of whether such Non-Key Employee has completed 1,000 Hours of Service during such Plan Year but only if such Non-Key Employee
has not had a severance from employment with the Employing Company on the last day of such Plan Year, as a percentage of such Participant’s annual Compensation, shall not be less than the lesser of: 
 (i) 3%, or 
 (ii) the highest percentage at which contributions are made for a Key Employee; provided, however, that this paragraph (ii) shall not apply if this Plan and a defined benefit plan are required to be included in an Aggregation Group and
if this Plan enables such other plan to meet the qualification requirements of the Code. If for any Plan Year, a Non-Key Employee participates in one or more top-heavy qualified defined contribution plans and one or more top-heavy defined benefit
plans of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation, the minimum contribution requirements set forth in this Section 21.4 will be deemed met if the retirement benefit provided under the qualified defined benefit plan or plans is at least equal to
the minimum amount required under section 416(c)(1) of the Code. 
 Matching contributions of Employing Companies and the
Additional Company Contribution shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the top-heavy contribution requirement. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions and Additional Company Contributions under the
Plan or, if top-heavy contributions are to be made

  

 -113- 

 
in another plan, matching contributions under such other plan. Matching contributions used to satisfy the top heavy contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for
purposes of the Actual Contribution Percentage test of Section 6.3 and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

 ARTICLE XXII. 
 AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN 
 22.1 The Plan may be amended or
modified by the Board of Directors acting in accordance with its normal procedures at any time and from time to time, provided, however, that no such amendment or modification, except in the case of an amendment or modification respecting a
qualified domestic relations order as defined under Section 414(p) of the Code or as may otherwise be prescribed by law, shall make it possible for any part of the corpus or income of the trust fund to be used for or diverted to purposes other
than for the exclusive benefit of Participants, Inactive Participants, Former Participants or their Beneficiaries under the Plan. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, grant to the Benefits Committee authority to make such amendments and
modifications to the Plan as the Board of Directors may see fit. To the extent that the Benefits Committee has been delegated the authority to make such amendments, the Benefits Committee has full discretion to designate any member or members of the
Benefits Committee to make any technical changes or any other changes, including retroactive amendments, that may be necessary to qualify the Plan and the trust forming a part thereof or to continue the qualified status of the Plan and the exempt
status of the trust under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code or any similar successor provisions of law or of ERISA, or to conform to governmental regulations. In addition, except to the extent otherwise permitted under Sections
411(d)(6)(D) and (E) of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations, no Plan amendment (or transaction having the effect of a Plan amendment) shall be effective to the extent it eliminates or reduces any “Section 411(d)(6) protected
benefit” (i.e., benefits described in Code Section 411(d)(6)(A), early retirement benefits and retirement-type subsidies, and optional forms of benefit), or adds or modifies conditions relating to Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits,
unless such protected benefits are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the adoption date or effective date of amendment. 
  

 -115- 

 ARTICLE XXIII. 
 SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, 
 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLAN 
 23.1 It is the intention of the Company to continue the Plan indefinitely, however, the Board of Directors may at any time and for any
reason suspend or terminate the Plan or discontinue or suspend the making of Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions from Annual Benefit Salary or Wages of all Participants and of Employing Company Contributions
by all Employing Companies. Any Employing Company may, by action of its board of directors, suspend or terminate the making of Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions from Annual Benefit Salary or Wages of
Participants in the employ of such Employing Company and of Employing Company Contributions by such Employing Company. 
 In the
event of termination or partial termination of the Plan, or upon complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan by all Employing Companies or by any Employing Company, all amounts in the account of each Participant or Inactive Participant
whose Employing Company shall be affected by such termination, partial termination or discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable and shall be distributed to him in a single distribution as soon as practicable after such termination, partial termination
or discontinuance, or if a Participant shall so elect, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Benefits Committee. Prior to the date fixed for distribution, the Benefits Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the Trustee to purchase
an annuity for the Participant in such amount as may be purchased with an amount equal to the cash amount the Participant would otherwise be entitled to receive if the entire amount in his account at the date fixed for distribution were reduced to
cash. 
  

 -116- 

 23.2 The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with, or any of its assets or liabilities
transferred to, any other plan unless each Participant, Inactive Participant and Former Participant would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the
benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan then terminated). 
 23.3 In the event another profit sharing or stock bonus plan is merged into the Plan, the Benefits Committee shall direct the Trustee to accept all assets held thereunder as of the date on which such
merger is effective and to invest such assets in accordance with the investment directions of the affected participants in the merged plan made pursuant to Section 8.8 or, in the absence of such direction, in the QDIA, as described in
Section 9.2, or in such Investment Fund or Funds provided in Article 9 hereof as the Benefits Committee in its sole discretion deems prudent, and shall instruct the Trustee to maintain accounts of former participants in the merged plan
identical to the accounts maintained for all other Participants in this Plan or in such other manner as the Benefits Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate. From and after the effective time of any such merger, amounts transferred to the
Trust maintained hereunder shall, except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, be characterized as follows for all purposes of this Plan: 
 (a) Amounts attributable to elective deferrals pursuant to a cash or deferred arrangement subject to Section 401(k) of the Code when made shall be deemed to be Pre-Tax Contributions, and the earnings
and appreciation on such elective deferrals shall be deemed earnings and appreciation on Pre-Tax Contributions; 
  

 -117- 

 (b) Amounts attributable to elective deferrals in accordance with Section 414(v) of the
Code shall be deemed to be Catch-Up Contributions and the earnings and appreciation on such contributions shall be deemed earnings and appreciation on Catch-Up Contributions; 
 (c) Amounts attributable to employee contributions shall be deemed to be After-Tax Contributions, and the earnings and appreciation on such
employee contributions shall be deemed to be earnings and appreciation on After-Tax Contributions; 
 (d) Amounts attributable
to matching contributions (as such term is defined in Section 401(m)(4) of the Code) when made shall be deemed to be Matching Contributions, and the earnings and appreciation on such matching contributions shall be deemed to be earnings and
appreciation on Matching Contributions; 
 (e) Amounts attributable to qualified nonelective contributions (as such term is
defined in Section 401(m)(4) of the Code) when made shall be deemed to be Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and the earnings and appreciation on such qualified nonelective contributions shall be deemed to be earnings and appreciation on
Qualified Nonelective Contributions; 
 (f) Amounts attributable to employer contributions which are described above when made
shall be deemed to be Additional Company Contributions, and the earnings and appreciation on such employer contributions shall be deemed to be earnings and appreciation on Additional Company Contributions; 
 (g) Amounts attributable to any rollover contribution to the merged plan, which rollover contribution was subject to Section 402(c),
403(a)(4), or 408(d)(3) of the Code (or any predecessor provision thereof) when made, shall be deemed to be Rollover Contributions, and the earnings and appreciation on such rollover contribution shall be deemed to be earnings and appreciation on
Rollover Contributions; 
  

 -118- 

 (h) Any other amounts transferred, to the extent vested immediately prior to the merger,
shall be deemed to be Rollover Contributions, and, to the extent not vested at such time, shall be deemed to be Employing Company Contributions. 
 For purposes of Article 12 hereof, the amounts described in (a)-(g) of this Section 23.3 shall be deemed to have been contributed or credited to the Participant’s account under this Plan at
the time at which such amounts were contributed or credited to the Participant’s account under the merged plan. In addition, any outstanding loan from the merged plan to a participant thereunder which is assumed by this Plan shall be deemed to
be a loan from this Plan; provided, however, that the Plan may give effect to any lawful terms of such loan which are not otherwise permitted in the case of loans from this Plan. 
  

 -119- 

 ARTICLE XXIV. 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 24.1 The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between an Employing Company and any Employee nor shall anything herein contained be deemed to give any Employee any right to be retained in the employ of an Employing Company, or to interfere with the right of an Employing Company to
discharge any Employee at any time and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a Participant. 
 24.2 Except in the case of a qualified domestic relations order as defined under Section 414(p) of the Code or as may otherwise be prescribed by law, no distribution or payment under the Plan to any
Participant, Inactive Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan, may be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy,
execution, or other legal or equitable process. If any such person is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, assign or alienate any such distribution or payment, the Benefits Committee, in its discretion, may hold or apply or cause to be
held or applied such distribution or payment, or any part thereof, for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Benefits Committee shall direct. 
 24.3 If the Benefits Committee determines that any person entitled to a distribution or payment from the trust fund under the Plan is an infant or incompetent or is unable to care for his affairs by
reason of physical or mental disability, it may cause all distributions or payments thereafter becoming due to such person to be made to any other person for his benefit, without responsibility to follow the application of payments so made. Payments
made pursuant to this provision shall completely discharge an Employing Company, the Trustee, and the Benefits Committee with respect thereto. 
  

 -120- 

 24.4 The trust fund established under the Plan shall be the sole source of the payments or
distributions to be made in accordance with the Plan. 
 24.5 The Company and each Employing Company intends that the Plan
(including the trust forming a part thereof) shall be a plan of an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees or their beneficiaries as provided for in Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code and as may be provided for in any similar
provisions of subsequent revenue laws, and that the trust shall be a qualified trust under such provisions and exempt under Section 501 (a) of the Code and as may be provided for in any similar provisions of subsequent revenue laws. The
Company and each Employing Company intend that the Plan shall meet the requirements of Sections 401(k) and (m) of the Code. 
 24.6 Return of Contribution. Upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall return: 
 (a) to the Employing
Company which has made contributions, any contributions made under this Plan (adjusted to reflect any earnings and any appreciation or depreciation attributable thereto) if the Internal Revenue Service refuses to issue an initial determination
letter to the effect that this Plan and the trust meet the requirements of the Code. Such contributions will be returned within one year after the date of such denial of qualification and this Plan and the trust will then terminate. 
 (b) to the Employing Company, any contribution by such Company made under a mistake of fact. The amount which may be returned may not exceed
the excess of the amount contributed (reduced to reflect any loss or depreciation attributable thereto) over the amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact. Appropriate reductions will be made in the accounts of
Participants to reflect the return of any contributions previously credited to such accounts. However, no contribution will be returned to the extent

  

 -121- 

 
that such reduction would reduce the account of a Participant to an amount less than the balance that would have been credited to his account had the contributions not been made. No contribution
made by the Employing Company under a mistake of fact will be returned after the expiration of one year from the date of contribution. 
 (c) to the Employing Company, any contribution by such Company conditioned upon its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code. All contributions by the Employing Company under the Plan are expressly made conditional upon their
deductibility for federal income tax purposes. The amount that may be returned may not exceed the excess of the amount contributed (reduced to reflect any loss or depreciation attributable thereto) over the amount that would have been contributed
had there not occurred a mistake in determining the deduction. Appropriate reductions will be made in the accounts of Participants to reflect the return of any contributions previously credited to such accounts. However, no contribution will be
returned to the extent that such reduction would reduce the account of a Participant to an amount less than the balance that would have been credited to his account had the contribution not been made. Any contribution conditioned on its
deductibility which is returned to the Company will be returned within one year after it is disallowed as a deduction. 
 24.7
The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered and governed under the laws of the State of New York, except as such laws may have been superseded by ERISA.
