	 	Re:	Factoring Agreement dated July 31, 2005 

 Gentlemen: 
 We refer to the Factoring Agreement dated as of July 31, 2005 (as amended, the “Factoring Agreement”), which among other things sets forth the terms on
which Milberg Factors, Inc. (“Milberg”) has agreed to make certain discretionary advances available to Cygne Designs, Inc. (the “Borrower”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Factoring Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, the Factoring Agreement, without limiting Milberg’s discretion with
respect to the provision of advances, requires that the Borrower be in compliance with certain financial covenants; and 
 WHEREAS, in
November 2006 the accountants of the Borrower have advised the Borrower that a deferred tax liability of the Borrower must be reflected on the financial statements of the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, the inclusion of such deferred tax liability has caused the Borrower to fail to be in compliance with certain financial covenants during the
period beginning on October 31, 2006 and continuing through the date hereof; and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that Milberg
waive and consent to such non-compliance (without in any way limiting Milberg’s discretion with respect to the provision of any such advances) for the period beginning on October 31, 2006 through January 31, 2007. 
 NOW, THEREFORE: 
  

	1.	Milberg hereby waives and consents to the Borrower’s breach of, and non-compliance with (i) the restriction on payments in respect of the Subordinated Promissory Note set
forth in Section 6(a) of the Factoring Agreement solely with respect to the Borrower’s October 31, 2006 payment in respect of the Subordinated Promissory Note; and (ii) the Tangible Net Worth covenant set forth in clause
(o) of the definition of “Event of Default” in Section 6 of the Factoring Agreement (together, the “Applicable Financial 

 Covenants”) for the period beginning on October 31, 2006 through January 31, 2007;
provided that such waiver and consent shall be expressly conditioned on the accuracy of the representations of, and the continued compliance from and after the date hereof with the covenants by, the Borrower as set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3
below. Such waiver and consent is specific to the breach of the Applicable Financial Covenants with respect to the above specified period, and shall in no way or manner be construed to apply to any other time period or other term, condition,
covenant or obligation continued in the Factoring Agreement. 
  

	2.	The Borrower represents and warrants to Milberg that: 

  

	 	(a)	the Borrower has not made any distribution, dividend or other payment to its stockholders (in their capacity as such) or any payment in respect of the Subordinated Promissory Note
(other than the October 31, 2006 payment) during the period beginning on October 31, 2006 through the date hereof; 

  

	 	(b)	except for the breach of the Applicable Financial Covenants described above, each representation and warranty of the Borrower set forth in the Factoring Agreement and all related
agreements is, and will be, true and accurate in all material respects as of the date such representation or warranty was made or deemed made; 

  

	 	(c)	except for the breach of the Applicable Financial Covenants described above, the Borrower is, and will be, in compliance with each covenant (financial or otherwise) set forth in the
Factoring Agreement and all related agreements. 

  

	3.	In addition to, and not in limitation of, any restriction set forth in the Factoring Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees, confirms and covenants that, without the prior written
consent of Milberg, it shall not make any distribution, dividend or other payment to its stockholders (in their capacity as such) or any payment in respect of the Subordinated Promissory Note during the period beginning on the date hereof through
January 31, 2007. 

 The Borrower agrees, acknowledges and affirms that all advances made under the Factoring Agreement are payable upon
demand and that neither (i) this letter agreement or anything herein, including, without limitation, the waiver and consent to the breach of the Applicable Financial Covenants, nor (ii) the enumeration in this letter agreement, or in any
other document relating to such advances, of specific obligations and/or conditions to the availability of such advances shall not be construed to qualify, define or otherwise limit Milberg’s right, power or ability, at any time, to make demand
for payment of the entire outstanding principal of and interest due under the Factoring Agreement. 

 The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically set forth above, all terms and conditions of the
Factoring Agreement remain unchanged and the Factoring Agreement remains in full force and effect. Subject to the waiver and consent provided for herein, the Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms all the terms and conditions in the
Factoring Agreement. 
 All Security described in the Factoring Agreement and any related security agreement entered into in connection therewith shall
continue to secure all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to Milberg, and all provisions, covenants and agreements contained in any related security agreement are hereby confirmed, ratified and reaffirmed, a and each such
agreement is and shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Hubert Guez hereby acknowledges, ratifies and reaffirms his guaranty in favor of Milberg dated as
of July 31, 2006.

	HUBERT GUEZPemco Aviation Group, Inc. Separation Benefit Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
 PEMCO AVIATION GROUP, INC. SEPARATION BENEFIT PLAN 
 SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

 Pemco Aviation Group, Inc. (“Pemco”) has adopted this Pemco Aviation Group, Inc. Separation Benefit Plan (hereinafter
“Plan”) effective as of December 1, 2006 (“Effective Date”). The Plan provides employment separation benefits under the circumstances described below to certain Eligible Employees of Pemco and certain of its Controlled Group
Members. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage the Eligible Employees to remain in their positions because their services and contributions are critical to the Company’s financial success and the preservation of its assets. 
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS 
 The following definitions and interpretations of important terms apply to the Plan: 
 (a) Base Salary. Unless
otherwise provided by his or her Coverage Letter, an Eligible Employee’s rate of salary or wages as of his or her Termination Date, as reflected in the records maintained by the Company’s payroll department, that (i) includes any
salary reduction contributions made on his or her behalf to any plan of the Company under Section 125 or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and (ii) excludes bonuses, commissions, overtime pay, temporary assignment shift
differentials, incentive compensation, Company contributions to or benefits paid from any employee retirement or welfare plan (other than salary reduction contributions to such a plan), fringe benefits, any imputed income, and any other additional
compensation or benefits provided by the Company. In the event of a Termination due to a reduction in any monetary terms and conditions of an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company, Base Salary shall be determined as of the date
immediately preceding the implementation of such reduction. 
 (b) Company. Pemco and any other Controlled Group Member of
Pemco that, with the approval of the Plan Administrator and subject to such conditions as the Plan Administrator may impose, participates in the Plan. The Plan Administrator or a Controlled Group Member may terminate the Controlled Group
Member’s participation in the Plan by written notice to each other. An entity will cease to be part of the Company, and will cease to participate in the Plan, after the date on which it ceases to be a Controlled Group Member. 
 (c) Controlled Group Member. A member of a controlled group of corporations of which Pemco is a member, or an unincorporated trade or
business that is under common control with Pemco, all as determined under the Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. 
 (d) Coverage Letter. The letter provided by the Plan Administrator to an Eligible Employee that is referred to in Sections 1(a), 1(e), 1(h) and 4(a)-(b) of the Plan and that that forms a part of the terms and provisions
of this Plan. 
 (e) Eligible Employee. A Company employee who has received a Coverage Letter, if as of his or her Termination
Date (which must be on or after the Effective Date), he or she (i) has not previously agreed in writing to waive eligibility for this Plan and (ii) has no employment agreement or arrangement that provides for the payment of employment
separation benefits (whether entered into before or after the establishment of this Plan). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Company employee shall not be disqualified from Eligible Employee status because he or she has at any
time entered into an employment agreement or arrangement that provides for no employment separation 
  

 Page 1 of 9 

 benefits other than payments in connection with or due to (a) the sale of any stock or assets of Pemco and/or
Controlled Group Member(s) or the merger or consolidation of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s), or (b) a change in the membership of the Board of Directors of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) that is a “change of control”
or “change of ownership” under such an employment agreement or arrangement. The Participant status of an Eligible Employee shall nevertheless be determined in accordance with applicable Plan terms and provisions, including (without
limitation), Section 3(a). 
 (f) ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to
time. 
 (g) Participant. An Eligible Employee who meets the requirements for receipt of benefits under the Plan, as set forth
in Section 3 of the Plan. An Eligible Employee will cease being a Participant once payment of all benefits due to him or her under Section 4 of the Plan has been completed, and no person will have any further rights under the Plan with
respect to such a former Participant. 
 (h) Participation Period. The period of days specified in an Eligible Employee’s
Coverage Letter for which benefits are payable under Section 4(a)-(b) of the Plan. Regardless of any Plan and/or Coverage Letter provisions to the contrary, a Participation Period shall terminate upon the death of a Participant.

 (i) Plan Administrator. An individual Company employee (i) who is not an Eligible Employee or a Participant,
(ii) who is appointed in writing by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pemco to serve as the Plan Administrator, and (iii) who acknowledges and accepts such appointment in writing. Either the President and Chief Executive Officer
of Pemco or the Board of Directors of Pemco (a) may terminate a Company employee’s appointment as Plan Administrator by providing advance written notice of such termination to the employee and (b) may appoint a new Plan Administrator
in accordance with this Section 2(i) upon or after the termination of a Company employee’s appointment as Plan Administrator. Upon or after receipt of a Plan Administrator’s written notification of his or her resignation, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Pemco or the Board of Directors of Pemco may appoint a new Plan Administrator in accordance with this Section 2(i). To the extent there is no effective appointment of a Plan Administrator under this
Section 2(i), Pemco shall be the Plan Administrator. 
 (j) Reason. The involuntary termination of an Eligible
Employee’s Company employment due to any one or more of the following: 
 (i) any act or omission by the Eligible
Employee resulting or intended to result in personal gain at the expense of the Company; 
 (ii) the Eligible Employee’s
material breach of any material provision of any employment agreement and/or neglect to properly perform material employment duties; 
 (iii) the improper disclosure by the Eligible Employee of proprietary or confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; 
 (iv) misconduct by the Eligible Employee, including, but not limited to fraud, intentional violation of or negligent disregard for the rules and procedures of the Company, dishonesty, insubordination, theft or other
illegal conduct, violent acts or threats of violence, or possession of alcohol or controlled substances on the property of the Company, or any other terminable offense under the Company’s policies and practices; and/or 
 (v) the sale of any stock or assets of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) or the merger or consolidation of Pemco and/or Controlled
Group Member(s). 
  

 Page 2 of 9 

 For purposes of the Plan, the determination of whether a termination of employment is for Reason under
this Section 2(j) will be made by the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, and such determination will be conclusive and binding on the affected Eligible Employee. 
 (k) Separation Benefit. The benefit provided for by Section 4(a) of the Plan that is paid with respect to a Participation Period.

 (l) Termination. Either (i) the involuntary termination of employment of an Eligible Employee from the Company that
occurs after the Effective Date and prior to December 1, 2007 or (ii) a reduction in any monetary terms and conditions of the Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company (without the Eligible Employee’s advance written
consent) that occurs after the Effective Date and prior to December 1, 2007. In no event will an involuntary termination of employment be considered a Termination if the involuntary termination of employment is due to Reason. An Eligible
Employee’s voluntary termination of employment shall not be a Termination; provided, however, that a Termination due to a reduction in any monetary terms and conditions of employment without an Eligible Employee’s advance written consent
shall not be deemed to be a voluntary termination of employment by the Eligible Employee. 
 (m) Termination Date. An Eligible
Employee’s last day of employment on account of his or her Termination. 
 (n) WARN Act. Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act. 
 SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS 
 (a) Eligibility. An Eligible Employee will become a Participant and be eligible for benefits under the Plan (i) if his or her employment with the Company ends due to a Termination and (ii) if,
as of his or her Termination Date, he or she is not entitled to payment(s) under an employment agreement or arrangement due to employment termination upon or after (a) the sale of any stock or assets of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s)
or the merger or consolidation of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) or (b) a change in the membership of the Board of Directors of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) that is a “change of control” or “change of
ownership” under such an employment agreement or arrangement. Final approval of the payment of Plan benefits is specifically reserved herein for the Plan Administrator, who also shall be responsible for the day-to-day interpretation and
administration of this Plan. 
 (b) Changed Decisions. The Plan Administrator has the right to cancel a Termination or
reschedule a Termination Date at any time before an Eligible Employee terminates employment with the Company. In the event a Termination does occur due either to the reinstatement of a cancelled Termination or to the rescheduling of a Termination,
the Eligible Employee’s eligibility for benefits shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Plan. 
 SECTION 4. PLAN BENEFITS 
 Benefits payable to a Participant under the Plan will be as follows: 
 (a) Separation Benefit. As specified in his or her Coverage Letter, a Participant is eligible to receive a Separation Benefit based upon his
or her Base Salary and payable for his or her Participation Period. A Separation Benefit is payable in accordance with Company payroll procedures that apply to employees who have not terminated Company employment. 
  

 Page 3 of 9 

 (b) Employee Benefit Plan Coverage. Unless otherwise provided in his or her Coverage Letter
and to the extent a Participant is (and remains) eligible to receive a Separation Benefit, the Participant will remain covered during his or her Participation Period by the Company-sponsored employee benefit plan(s) under which he or she was covered
immediately before his or her Termination Date; provided, however, that the extent, type and amount of such coverage shall be subject to applicable law and the terms and provisions of such employee benefit plan(s) and applicable contract(s) of
insurance. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) of the Plan, the terms and conditions of any such employee benefit plan coverage shall be the same as those that applied to the Participant immediately before the Termination
Date. 
 (c) Reemployment. If a Participant is rehired by the Company, he or she will not be required to repay any benefits
received under Sections 4(a) or 4(b) of the Plan; however, any payment(s) of a Separation Benefit shall cease upon rehire, and eligibility for participation in and receipt of benefits under Company employee benefit plans and programs shall be
determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and programs. 
 (d) Integration With Other Payments. A
Participant will not be eligible to receive any other severance, separation, notice or termination payments on account of employment with the Company or any other Controlled Group Member. In addition, benefits under this Plan are not intended to
duplicate such benefits as workers’ compensation wage replacement benefits, disability benefits, pay-in-lieu-of-notice, severance pay, or similar benefits under other benefit plans, severance programs, employment contracts, or applicable laws,
such as the WARN Act and the Paid Leave In Lieu of Notice provisions of Section 4(e) of the Plan. Should such other benefits be payable, benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan may, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
offset or, alternatively, benefits previously paid under this Plan may be treated as having been paid to satisfy such other benefit obligations. In either case, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine how to apply this
provision and may override other provisions in this Plan in doing so. Notwithstanding any contrary terms or provisions of this Plan, the application and administration of this Plan shall not effectuate any change or adjustment in any payment(s) to
which an Eligible Employee is entitled under an employment agreement or arrangement in connection with or due to (i) the sale of any stock or assets of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) or the merger or consolidation of Pemco and/or
Controlled Group Member(s), or (ii) a change in the membership of the Board of Directors of Pemco and/or Controlled Group Member(s) that is a “change of control” or “change of ownership” under the terms and provisions of
such an employment agreement or arrangement. 
 (e) WARN Act. If a Participant is eligible for a Separation Benefit and
employee benefit plan coverage under Section 4(a)-(b) of the Plan on account of a Termination subject to the WARN Act, then, to the extent he or she has been given less than the WARN Act-required advance notice of the date active services
will actually terminate, he or she will be given a Paid Leave in Lieu of Notice for the balance of the WARN Act-required advance notice period, as follows: 
 (i) During any Paid Leave in Lieu of Notice, the Participant will be an inactive employee but will be entitled to the same benefit plan benefits and participation rights to which he or she would have been entitled had
active employment continued, except that the Participant will not accrue any paid leave or vacation days. 
 (ii) If the
Participant dies during a Paid Leave in Lieu of Notice, the Paid Leave will end and the Base Salary that would have been received during the balance of the Paid Leave will be paid to his or her estate in a lump sum. All other Paid Leave in Lieu of
Notice benefits will stop on the Participant’s date of death and neither the Participant’s estate nor anyone else will be entitled to any benefits under this Plan. 
  

 Page 4 of 9 

 (iii) When the Participant’s Paid Leave in Lieu of Notice ends, the Participant will
then be eligible for benefits under Section 4(a)-(b) of the Plan; provided, however, that the Participant’s Participation Period shall be reduced by the number of days of such Paid Leave. 
 The WARN Act-required advance notice period generally is 60 days, but under certain circumstances, may be less. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 4(e) shall override any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. 
 (f) Taxes. Employment and income taxes will be
deducted or withheld from benefits under the Plan to the extent required by law, as determined by the Company. 
 SECTION 5. AMENDMENT AND
TERMINATION 
 (a) Termination Or Amendment By Corporate Action. Pemco reserves the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to terminate, amend or modify the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, prospectively or retroactively, with prompt advance written notice of such termination, amendment or modification to be provided to each
affected Eligible Employee or Participant at his or her last address that is known to the Plan Administrator. 
 (b) Automatic
Termination. If Pemco does not take action to terminate the Plan, then the Plan shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of December 1, 2007 or the date as of which all benefits due to be provided under the Plan have been
provided. 
 (c) Effect On Benefits. If the Plan is terminated, amended or modified, an Eligible Employee’s right to
participate in, or receive benefits under, the Plan may be changed or eliminated. No individual may become entitled to additional benefits or other rights under the Plan after the Plan is terminated. 
 (d) Employment Terms And Conditions Unaffected. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the payment of any
benefits hereunder, will be construed as giving to any Participant, Eligible Employee (or any beneficiary of either), or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company or any officer, director or employee thereof, and in no event will
the terms and conditions of employment by the Company of any Eligible Employee be modified or in any way affected by the Plan. This Plan does not give any Eligible Employee any vested right to Plan benefits. 
 SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 (a) Records. The records of the Company with respect to length of employment, employment history, base pay, absences, and all other relevant matters may be conclusively relied on by the Plan Administrator. 
 (b) Governing Law. This Plan is an employee welfare benefit plan that is regulated by ERISA, a federal law. To the extent, if any, that
state laws apply to the Plan, Alabama law shall apply (except to the extent it would require use of another state’s law). 
 (c)
Severability. Should any provision(s) of the Plan be deemed or held to be unlawful or invalid for any reason, the balance of the Plan shall remain in effect, unless it is amended or terminated as provided in Section 5 of the Plan.

 (d) Incompetency. If the Plan Administrator finds that a Participant is unable to care for his or her affairs because of
illness or accident, then benefits payable hereunder, unless claim has been made 
  

 Page 5 of 9 

 therefore by a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal representative, may be paid in such manner as the Plan
Administrator will determine, and will constitute a complete discharge of all liability for any payments or benefits to which such Participant was or would have been otherwise entitled under the Plan. 
 (e) Assignment And Alienation. Except as required by law and except as allowed by Section 6(h) of the Plan, the benefits payable under
this Plan will not be subject to alienation, transfer, assignment, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, and any attempt to cause any benefits to be so subjected will not be recognized. 
 (f) Plan Not A Contract Of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan will be held or construed to create any liability upon the Company to
retain any Eligible Employee in its service. All Eligible Employees will remain subject to discharge or discipline to the same extent as if the Plan had not been put into effect. Nothing in this Plan shall preclude the Company from terminating an
Eligible Employee for any reason or no reason or preclude a person from being or continuing to be an at-will employee. 
 (g)
Overpayments. If any overpayment is made under the Plan for any reason, the Plan Administrator will have the right to recover the overpayment. The Participant shall cooperate fully with the Plan and return any overpayment. 
 (h) Offset For Amounts Owed To The Company. In the event that any Participant owes money to the Company at the Termination Date, the
Company may offset any severance pay hereunder by the amount owed to the Company. 
 (i) Section 409A Compliance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or the Coverage Letter, if and to the extent the Company shall determine that the terms of the Plan may result in the failure of amounts payable under the Plan to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) or any applicable regulations or guidance promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Company shall take such action as it deems necessary or
advisable, including without limitation: 
 (i) Any amendment or modification of the Plan or a Coverage Letter to conform it
to the requirements of Section 409A (including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of the terms applicable to the timing or form of any payments); 
 (ii) Pay to the Participant immediately or in a lump sum any amount otherwise payable to him or her, provided such payment does not
violate Section 409A; and/or 
 (iii) Delay payment of any amounts until such amounts would otherwise not violate
Section 409A. 
 Any such amendment or modification of the Plan or a Coverage Letter may adversely affect the rights of the Participant
without his or her consent 
 SECTION 7. ERISA PROVISIONS 
 This Section 7 provides information to Eligible Employees in accordance with ERISA. As used below, “you” and “your” refer to an
Eligible Employee. 
 (a) Claim Procedure. If you are a Participant in the Plan, you will automatically receive any benefits
set forth under Section 4 of the Plan for which you are entitled. If you feel you have not been 
  

 Page 6 of 9 

 provided with all benefits to which you are entitled under the Plan, you must file a written claim with the Plan
Administrator with respect to your rights to receive benefits from the Plan. You will be informed of the Plan Administrator’s decision with respect to your claim within 90 days after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the claim. Under
special circumstances, the Plan Administrator may require an additional period of not more than 90 days to review your claim. If this occurs, you will be notified in writing prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period of the reason for the
extension and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. 
 If your claim is denied, in whole or in part, you will be notified
in writing of the specific reason for the denial, the exact Plan provision on which the decision was based, a description of the additional material or information that is relevant to your claim, and a description of the procedure and time limits
you must follow to have your claim reviewed again, including a statement of your right to bring a civil action under Section 502 of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. If you are not notified within the 90-day (or
180-day, if extended) period that your claim has been denied, your claim will be deemed to have been denied by the Plan Administrator. 
 You
have 60 days to appeal the decision of the Plan Administrator denying your claim in whole or in part (or the deemed denial of your claim, if applicable). Your appeal must be submitted in writing. Upon request and free of charge, you are entitled to
copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to your claim. You may submit a written statement of issues and comments, and such issues and comments will be taken into consideration without regard to whether such information was
submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
 A decision as to your appeal will be made within 60 days after the Plan
Administrator receives the request for a review of the claim. Under special circumstances, the Plan Administrator may require an additional period of not more than 60 days to review your appeal. If this occurs, you will be notified in writing prior
to the termination of the initial 60-day period of the reason for the extension and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. 
 If your appeal is denied, in whole or in part, you will be notified in writing of the specific reason for the denial, the exact Plan provision on which the decision was based, a statement of your ability to receive upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents relevant to your claim, and a statement of your right to bring a civil action under Section 502 of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. If you are not notified
within the 60-day (or 120-day, if extended) period that your appeal has been denied, you may consider your appeal to have been denied. 
 Notwithstanding any provisions in this Plan to the contrary, you must exhaust all administrative remedies under the Plan and described herein prior to filing a lawsuit, including but not limited to, the claim procedure described above.

 (b) Plan Interpretation And Benefit Determination. The Plan is administered and operated by the Plan Administrator, who has
complete authority, in such person’s sole and absolute discretion, to construe the terms of the Plan (and any related or underlying documents or policies), to interpret applicable law, to make findings of fact and to determine the eligibility
for, and amount of, benefits due under the Plan to Participants or any persons claiming benefits derivatively through them. All such interpretations and determinations of the Plan Administrator (whether of fact or law) will be final and binding upon
all parties and persons affected thereby. If challenged in a legal proceeding, the Plan Administrator’s interpretations and determinations will be reviewed under the most deferential abuse of discretion standard of review. 
 If, due to errors in drafting, any Plan provision does not accurately reflect its intended meaning, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or
other evidence of intent, or as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion, the provision shall be considered ambiguous and shall be interpreted by the Plan Administrator in a fashion consistent with its intent, as
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator. 
  

 Page 7 of 9 

 This Section 7(b) may not be invoked by you or any person to require the Plan to be interpreted in a
manner inconsistent with its interpretation by the Plan Administrator. 
 (c) Your Rights Under ERISA. As a Participant in the
Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all Plan Participants will be entitled to: 
 (i) examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office, and at other specified locations, all documents governing the Plan; and 
 (ii) obtain copies of all documents governing the Plan upon written request to the Plan Administrator, who may make a reasonable charge for the copies. 
 In addition to creating rights for Plan Participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The people
who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan Participants and beneficiaries. No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire you or otherwise
discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. 
 If your claim
for a benefit is denied in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. 
 Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents and do not receive them
within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and Pemco to pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent
because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits hereunder which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries
misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and
legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. 
 If you have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights
under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory or the
Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You also may obtain certain publications about your rights and
responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
