and regulations thereunder shall mean those in effect on June 29, 2000 and references to “Common Stock” shall mean the common stock of the Corporation. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Post-2004 Deferrals only, a Change in Control shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(i)	any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock (as determined under Section 318(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Corporation
that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Corporation; provided, however, that if any one person or more than one
person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a
Change in Control of the Corporation. This paragraph applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Corporation (or issuance of stock of the Corporation) and stock in the Corporation remains outstanding after the transaction.

  

	 	(ii)	any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
persons) ownership of stock (as determined under Section 318(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Corporation possessing 35 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Corporation; provided, however, that if
any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own 35 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause
a Change in Control of the Corporation. 

  

	 	(iii)	a majority of members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Directors”) is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or
election is not endorsed by a majority of the Incumbent Directors, provided that no other corporation is a majority shareholder of the Corporation. 

  

	 	(iv)	 any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by
such person or persons) assets from the Corporation or the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total 

  

 4 

	 	 
gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Corporation or the Company immediately prior to such acquisition(s); provided, however,
that a transfer of assets by the Corporation or the Company is not treated as a Change in Control if the assets are transferred to (A) a shareholder of the Corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to
its stock; (B) an entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or the Company; (C) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or
indirectly, 50 percent of more of the total value or voting power of all outstanding stock of the Corporation; or (D) an entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person
described in the previous subsection (C). For purposes of this paragraph, (1) gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Corporation or the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to
any liabilities associated with such assets, and (2) a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. 

 For purposes of this definition: 
  

	 	(a)	a “person” shall be as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3)
and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act. 

  

	 	(b)	persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
transaction with the Corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a
group with other shareholders in the corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely
because they purchase or own stock of the Corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.”

of this Plan. An interpretation made pursuant to such discretionary authority shall be given full force and effect, unless it can be shown that the interpretation or determination was arbitrary and capricious. All decisions and acts of the
Administrative Committee shall be final and binding upon all Participants, their Beneficiaries and all other persons. 
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan, it is intended that all Post-2004 Deferrals under this Plan satisfy the provisions of Section 409A, and this Plan shall be revised, interpreted and administered, as necessary, to comply with such provisions.

 ARTICLE IV 
 ELIGIBILITY 
 4.1 To be eligible to participate in this Plan for a given year, a person must have become an Eligible
Employee not later than the day on or before the date which an Eligible Employee must make the election provided for in Article V of this Plan for that year. 
 ARTICLE V 
 DEFERRALS 
 5.1 During each of the years this Plan is in effect, Eligible Employees shall be informed of the opportunity to participate in this Plan. An Eligible
Employee choosing to participate in this Plan must make an election to do so on or before the date designated herein (or, if not so designated, the date designated by the Administrative Committee) and otherwise in accordance with such procedures as
may be established by the Administrative Committee. 
 5.2 (a) An election to defer Variable Compensation under one of the Variable
Compensation Plans shall be irrevocable when made until the next scheduled annual election period. 
 Variable Compensation awards, if any,
must be deferred during the annual election period immediately preceding the calendar year in which the relevant services will be performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee who becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after
March 31, 2003 may elect to defer a Variable Compensation award during the calendar year in which services will be performed; provided, however, he or she makes an election to defer within 30 days after becoming eligible to participate in this
Plan. 
 (b) Base salary must be deferred during the annual election period immediately preceding the calendar year in which the relevant
services will be performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee who becomes eligible to participate in this 

  

 9 

 
Plan after March 31, 2003 may elect to defer a portion of his or her base salary during the calendar year in which services will be performed; provided
he or she makes an election to defer within 30 days after becoming eligible to participate this Plan. 
 5.3 (a) On or before the date
designated by the Administrative Committee and otherwise in accordance with such procedures as may be established, a Participant may elect voluntarily to defer: 
 (i) up to 85% of the Participant’s award under the Variable Compensation Plans (in 1% increments); 
 (ii) up to 50% of his or her base salary (in 1% increments); and/or 
 (iii) effective March 31, 2003, some or all of his or
her Compensation in excess of $200,000 to the extent such Compensation has not been previously deferred under this Plan. Such $200,000 amount shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the limitation described in Code
Section 401(a)(17). For the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the applicable limits are $205,000, $210,000, $220,000, $225,000, $230,000 and $245,000, respectively. For 2003 only, Compensation for purposes of this subparagraph
(iii) means only Compensation earned after March 31, 2003. While Compensation for purposes of this subparagraph (iii) means all Compensation as defined in Section 2.9, deferrals under this subparagraph (iii) may be made only
from base salary and Variable Compensation. Deferrals made under this subparagraph (iii) are referred to under this Plan as “Excess Deferrals”. For any given year, a Participant’s Excess Deferrals shall not exceed 50% of his or
her Compensation in excess of $200,000 (as adjusted). 
 (b) Except for Excess Deferrals under Section 5.3(a)(iii), a Participant must
elect, during any applicable calendar year, to defer in the aggregate a minimum of $1,000 of his or her base salary or Variable Compensation in order to participate in this Plan in any particular year. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to

defer a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000 in the calendar year immediately following thereafter in order to participate in this Plan in any particular year. 
 5.4 (a) Effective March 31, 2003, all Frozen Non-qualified Benefits have been transferred to this Plan and are deferred in accordance with the terms hereof. A Participant shall become vested in his or her Frozen
Non-qualified Benefit upon the attainment of five years of service with the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. 
 (b) Effective
October 31, 2003, the Frozen TCN Benefits listed on Schedule B have been transferred to this Plan and are deferred in accordance with the terms hereof. A Participant shall become vested in his or her Frozen TCN Benefit upon the attainment of
five years of service with the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. 
 5.5 (a)
Within forty-five days after each March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st, the Company shall credit a Participant with 5% of the
Participant’s Compensation (as defined in Section 1.16 of the Savings Plan without regard to Code section 

  

 10 

 
401(a)(17) and without regard to deferrals of base salary and Variable Compensation under this Plan), which exceeds $210,000 (“Make-up
Contributions”), provided that no credit will be made with respect to compensation for which a credit was made in a prior quarter in the year. Such $210,000 shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the limitation described
in Code Section 401(a)(17). A Participant shall become vested in his or her Make-up Contributions upon the attainment of five years of service with the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2007, the amount of the
Make-up Contributions made under this Section 5.5(a) is reduced from 5% to 1% of a Participant’s Compensation. 
 (b) Within forty-five days after each March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st, the Company shall credit a Participant with 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of the Participant’s Excess Deferrals (“Additional Matching
Contributions”). A Participant shall be immediately vested in his or her Additional Matching Contributions. 
 (c) The provisions of
Sections 5.5(a) and (b) shall not apply to any Participant who has a separate agreement with the Company providing that such Participant will not receive allocations under this Section 5.5. 
 (d) Effective October 31, 2003, the provisions of Section 5.5(a) shall also apply to any Participant who has a Frozen TCN Benefit and is not
eligible to participate in the Savings Plan; Make-up Contributions under this paragraph (d) will be made with respect to Compensation under as well as in excess of $210,000. 
 (e) Effective January 1, 2004, as of each December 31st, the Company shall credit a Make-Up Contribution on behalf of each Eligible Employee whose Employer Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan are
limited by the restrictions of Section 415 of the Code. The amount of the Make-Up Contribution under this paragraph (e) shall be equal to “A” minus “B”, where 
 “A” equals the Employer Retirement Contribution that would be made on the Participant’s behalf under the Savings Plan if the limitations
of Code Section 415 were disregarded; and 
 “B” equals the Employer Retirement Contribution actually made on behalf of the
Participant under the Savings Plan. 
 A Participant shall become vested in his or her Make-up Contributions under this paragraph
(e) upon the attainment of five years of service with the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES 
 6.1 Time of Payment. (a) Subject to subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Section 6.1, a Participant shall receive payment of his or her deferrals, and any 

  

 11 

 
earnings accruals credited under Article VIII, during the January next following his or her date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to Post-2004 Deferrals only, in the case of a payment on account of separation from service, to a Participant who is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, no distribution shall be made before six
months after such Participant’s separation from service; at the end of such six-month period, amounts that would have been payable but for the limitation described herein shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month
following the Participant’s separation from service. 
 (b) (i) Notwithstanding
any provision in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant may elect to commence receipt of payments of any amounts deferred other than Frozen Non-qualified Benefits, upon a specific future fixed year payment date(s) which is at least five years
after the Date of Deferral or such shorter schedule as the Administrative Committee may determine; provided, however, that such payments must begin no later than the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2. A Participant making such an election shall receive his or her lump sum payment in the month of the future fixed year payment
date as specified by the Participant in his or her election pursuant to Section 5.1 or, if applicable, such Participant shall receive installment payments in accordance with Section 6.2. With respect to Post-2004 Deferrals only, any
election under this Section 6.1(b) must be made no later than the Initial Deferral Date. 
 (ii) With respect to a Participant
who has attained age 55 at the time of the election of his or her deferral, the five-year period described in subsection (i) of this Section 6.1(b) shall instead be one year with respect to all deferrals under this Plan. 
 (iii) A Participant is limited to four future fixed year payment dates. The amounts paid out in such future fixed year payments shall include the sum of
a Participant’s deferrals under this Plan and any earnings accrued thereon. 
 (c) A Participant who has an Unforeseen Emergency may
receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her account balance, other than Frozen Non-qualified Benefits, including any earnings credited to him or her pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan; provided that the Participant may not receive an
amount greater than the amount necessary to meet the Unforeseen Emergency and any amounts necessary to pay federal, state and local income taxes and penalties due as a result of a withdrawal under this Section 6.1. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, for other than Post-2004 Deferrals and Frozen Non-qualified Benefits only, a Participant
may, on the applicable Date of Deferral or at any time thereafter prior to a Change of Control, elect to receive payment of his or her entire account balance under this Plan at such time as a Change of Control occurs. Moreover, a Participant may
elect to change his or her election to receive (or not to receive) payment of his or her entire account balance under this Plan upon the occurrence of a Change of Control at any time prior to the date that a Change of Control occurs. Any payments
made under this subsection (d) shall be made in a lump sum within 45 days after the Change of Control has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Post-2004 Deferrals only, any election under this Section 6.1(d) must be
made no later than the Initial Deferral Date. 
  

 12 

 (e) For other than Post-2004 Deferrals and Frozen Non-qualified Benefits only, a Participant may request
a distribution of all or a portion of his or her account balance, including any earnings credited to him or her pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan, at any time and for any reason by submitting a written request to the Administrative Committee,
subject to the following substantial limitations and conditions: 
 (i) The Participant shall permanently forfeit 10% of the amount
distributed to him or her; and 
 (ii) If the Participant is still employed by the Company, the Participant shall not be permitted to make
deferral elections into the Plan for two Plan years following the year of such a distribution. 
 Upon the Participant’s agreement to
these two conditions, the Administrative Committee shall direct a distribution to the Participant of the amount requested, less the 10% partial forfeiture described above (which shall revert to the Company and not be paid to or for the benefit of
the Participant, his or her Beneficiary or any other person). The distribution shall be made in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable. 
 The provisions of this Section 6.1(e) shall not apply to any Post-2004 Deferrals. 
 (f) This subsection (f) shall govern
the payment of vested Frozen Non-qualified Benefits, vested Frozen TCN Benefits, vested Make-up Contributions and Additional Matching Contributions under the Plan. 
 (i) For Participants who Retire or otherwise terminate employment after March 31, 2003 and on or before December 1, 2003, such Participants shall be paid that portion of their vested Frozen Non-qualified
Benefits from this Plan that would have been paid under the SRIP, ERIP or EBP, as applicable, in the form set forth in the respective plans for the duration of the calendar year including their dates of Retirement, and such amounts shall be deducted
from the Participant’s Frozen Non-qualified Benefits under this Plan; the remaining portion of the vested Frozen Non-qualified Benefits and any earnings accruals credited under Article VIII shall be paid during the January next following his or
her last day of work, and such Participants may not make the elections or requests for distributions provided for in subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of this Section 6.1. 
 (ii) A Participant shall begin to receive payment of his or her vested Make-up Contributions, Additional Matching Contributions and vested Frozen TCN
Benefit, and Frozen Non-qualified Benefits not covered by sub-paragraph (i) hereof, and any earnings accruals credited under Article VIII, during the January next following the later of (i) his or her date of termination of employment or
(ii) his or her attainment of age 50, provided however, that Participants may make the elections or requests for distributions described in subsections (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of this Section 6.1, except that with
respect to any Post-2004 Deferrals only, the elections under subsections (b) and (d) must be made no later than the relevant Initial Deferral Date, and the election under subsection (e) shall not be available. 
 (iii) In no event shall a Participant receive any vested Frozen Non-qualified Benefit or vested Frozen TCN Benefit prior to age 50. 
  

 13 

 (g) For other than Frozen Non-qualified Benefits, a Participant may change the commencement date of
payment only one time and subject to the following restrictions: 
 (i) such election is made no later than July 1 in
the calendar year that the Participant terminates employment (or such later date as the Administrative Committee shall determine), to be effective no earlier than the following calendar year; and 
 (ii) the election is subject to the consent of the Administrative Committee. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Post-2004 Deferrals, the one-time election to change the commencement date of
payment under this Section 6.1(g) will be valid only if: (I) such election is made no later than one year prior to the distribution date then in effect, (II) for distributions other than on account of death, Disability or an Unforeseen
Emergency, the new commencement date is at least five years later than the then current commencement date, (iii) the change in commencement date does not constitute an acceleration of payment, and (iv) the requirement for consent of the
Administrative Committee shall not apply. 
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, or any other conflicting
provision of the Plan, with respect to a Participant’s Frozen Non-qualified Benefit hereunder, the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, that some or all of such benefit shall be paid at a specified date that is earlier than the date
otherwise applicable under this Section 6.1. The provisions of this subsection (h) shall not apply to any Post-2004 Deferrals. 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, effective November 1, 2005, for Participants designated by the Company or Administrative Committee, such Participants’ participation under the Plan shall be
terminated and their benefits under the Plan distributed no later than December 31, 2005. This paragraph (i) is intended to comply with and shall be administered in accordance with Q&A-20 of IRS Notice 2005-1 and other applicable
provisions of the rules and regulations issued under Section 409A. 
 6.2 Form of Payments. (a) A Participant may elect to
receive payments under this Plan in annual installments. Such installments must commence as described in Section 6.1, and must be completed by the earlier of ten years after commencement or the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
85. 
 (b) A Participant may elect to receive installment payments annually during each January commencing in the January that payment was
otherwise due in accordance with Section 6.1. 
  

 14 

 (c) If a Participant does not elect the form of his or her payments, such payments shall be made in a
lump sum payment. 
 (d) For other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, a Participant may change the form of payment previously elected only one
time and subject to the following restrictions: 
 (i) such election is made no later than October 31 in the calendar
year that the Participant terminates employment (or such later date as the Administrative Committee shall determine), to be effective no earlier than the following calendar year; and 
 (ii) the election is subject to the consent of the Administrative Committee. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 6.2, with respect to Post-2004 Deferrals only, an
election to receive payments in the form of annual installments or to change the form of payment previously elected, will be valid only if such election (I) is made no later than the relevant Initial Deferral Date, or (II) such election
satisfies (A), (B), (C) and (D) as follows: (A) such election is effective no earlier than twelve months after it is made, (B) the new form of payment is not effective for at least five years after the date payment would
otherwise have been made, (C) the change in payment form does not constitute an acceleration of payment, and (D) the request for consent of the Administrative Committee shall not apply. 
 (f) (i) For other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, if a Participant dies at any time prior to receiving any portion of his or her account balance under
this Plan, payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary as follows: 
 (A) If the Participant’s Beneficiary is his or her
surviving spouse, such Participant’s entire account balance under this Plan shall be paid as follows: (i) ten annual installments or a shorter schedule, if so elected by the surviving spouse, or (ii) a lump sum payment payable on or
about the January 1st following the Participant’s death. 
 (B) If the Participant’s Beneficiary is someone other than his or
her surviving spouse, such Participant’s entire account balance under this Plan shall be paid in a lump sum payment as soon as practical following the Participant’s death. 
 (C) With respect to Post-2004 Deferrals, the foregoing elections to change a time or form of payment under this subsection (f) shall not apply and
the Participant’s remaining account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary in a lump sum payment as soon as practicable after death. 
 (ii) If a Participant dies at any time after payment of his or her account balance under this Plan has begun, such Participant’s Beneficiary shall continue to receive payment of the Participant’s account in the same manner as the
Participant elected, or such shorter payment schedule as elected by the Beneficiary. 
  

 15 

 (g) If a Participant sustains a Disability, such Participant shall receive the full amount of his or her
account balance (other than deferrals to a specific future date) paid out in ten annual installments or a shorter schedule, if so elected by the Participant. Payments shall begin on the first business day of the second calendar quarter following the
onset of Disability. If a Participant has elected to receive a portion or all of his or her account balance on a specific future date, that election will not be affected by the Participant’s Disability. With respect to Post-2004 Deferrals, the
election of a shorter schedule of payments must be made no later than the Initial Deferral Date. 
 (h) (i) For other than Post-2004
Deferrals only, if any lump sum distribution otherwise payable under this Plan would be disallowed in any part as a deduction to the Company in accordance with Section 162(m) (or a successor Section) of the Code, the Administrative Committee
may determine to distribute the amount of such benefit in installments such that the Participant or Beneficiary shall receive the maximum amount permissible in each installment and still preserve the Company’s full tax deduction. 
 (ii) For Post-2004 Deferrals, if any lump sum distribution otherwise payable under this Plan
would be disallowed in any part as a deduction to the Company in accordance with Section 162(m) (or a successor Section) of the Code, the payment shall be delayed, provided that the payment shall be made either during the first taxable year in
which the Company reasonably anticipates that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of section 162(m) or during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s
separation from service and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year of the Company in which the Participant separates from service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s separation from service, and provided further that where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant is delayed in accordance with this paragraph, the delay in payment will be
treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled payments to that Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this paragraph are also delayed. Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s
separation from service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a separation from service for purposes of the rules under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(2) and, in the case of a specified employee, the date that is six months after the
Participant’s separation from service is substituted for any reference to the Participant’s separation from service in the first sentence of this paragraph; in any event, no election may be provided to the Participant with respect to the
timing of the payment under this paragraph (h)(ii). 
 6.3 Amount of Payment. Subject to Section 6.6 hereof, if a Participant is
terminated by the Company for cause: 
 (i) With respect to that portion of the Participant’s account balance attributable to the
Participant’s deferrals pursuant to Sections 5.3(a)(i), 5.3(a)(ii), and 5.3(a)(iii) hereof (“Participant Deferrals”) only, the Participant shall receive the lesser of (A) his or her Participant Deferrals, less any previous
payments made, or (B) his or her account balance attributable to Participant Deferrals. For other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, the Corporation’s Board of Directors may determine whether the amount payable under this paragraph
(i) shall be paid in the form previously elected by the Participant, or in some other form of payment. 
  

 16 

 (ii) With respect to the remainder of the Participant’s vested account balance, the
Corporation’s Board of Directors may determine whether some or all of such amounts shall be terminated or, for other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, suspended or, for other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, if any such amounts are not terminated or
suspended, the Corporation’s Board may determine the applicable form of payment of such amounts. 
 6.4 Payment in U.S. Dollars.
All payments under this Plan shall be made in U.S. dollars. 
 6.5 Reduction of Payments. All payments under this Plan shall be
reduced by any and all amounts that the Company is required to withhold pursuant to applicable law. 
 6.6 Detrimental Conduct. If the
Board of Directors of the Corporation determines, after a hearing, that a Participant who is eligible to receive or is receiving his or her account balance under this Plan has engaged in Detrimental Conduct as defined below: 
 (i) With respect to that portion of the Participant’s account balance attributable to the Participant’s deferrals pursuant to Sections
5.3(a)(i), 5.3(a)(ii), and 5.3(a)(iii) hereof (“Participant Deferrals”), the Participant shall receive the lesser of (A) his or her Participant Deferrals, less any previous payments made, or (B) his or her account balance
attributable to Participant Deferrals. For other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, the Corporation’s Board of Directors may determine whether the amount payable under this paragraph (i) shall be paid in the form previously elected by the
Participant, or in some other form of payment. 
 (ii) With respect to the remainder of the Participant’s vested account balance, the
Corporation’s Board of Directors may determine whether some or all of such amounts shall be terminated or for other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, suspended or, for other than Post-2004 Deferrals only, if any such amounts are not terminated or
suspended, the Corporation’s Board may determine the applicable form of payment of such amounts. 
 (iii) “Detrimental
Conduct” for these purposes includes activities which have been, are or would reasonably be expected to be detrimental to interests of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, as determined in the sole and good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Such activities include, but are not limited to, unlawful conduct under securities, antitrust, tax or other laws, improper disclosure or use of confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets, competition with
or improper taking of a corporate opportunity of any business of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, failure to cooperate in any investigation or legal proceeding, or misappropriation of property. 
 6.7 409A Transition Rule. This Section 6.7 shall apply for the calendar year 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, a Participant may make a
new election as to the time and/or form of payment of benefits as otherwise permitted under this Article VI, provided that (i) such Participant has not commenced payment of his or her benefit, (ii) such new election is made no later than
December 31, 2008, and (iii) such new election does not affect payments that the Participant would otherwise receive in 2008 or cause payments to be made in 2008. This Section 6.7 is intended to comply with, and shall be administered
in accordance with, the special 

  

 17 

 
transition rule provided for in Q&A-19(c) of IRS Notice 2005-1, Notice 2006-79, Notice 2007-86, and other applicable provisions of the rules and
regulations issued under Code section 409A. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 BENEFICIARIES 
 7.1 A Participant may at any time, and from time to time, prior
to his or her death designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive any payments to be made following the Participant’s death. If no such designation is on file with the Company at the time of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s
Beneficiary shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the beneficiary designation most recently filed by the Participant under the Savings Plan. If a Participant has not effectively designated a beneficiary under the Savings Plan, or if no
designated beneficiary has survived the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if no spouse has survived the Participant, the estate of the deceased Participant. If an individual
Beneficiary cannot be located for a period of one year following the Participant’s death, despite mail notification to the Beneficiary’s last known address, and if the Beneficiary has not made a written claim for benefits within such
period to the Administrative Committee, the Beneficiary shall be treated as having predeceased the Participant. The Administrative Committee may require such proof of death and such evidence of the right of any person to receive all or part of a
deceased Participant’s account balance as the Administrative Committee may consider appropriate. The Administrative Committee may rely upon any direction by the legal representatives of the estate of a deceased Participant, without liability to
any other person. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 EARNINGS ACCRUALS 
 8.1 Each Participant’s account balance under this Plan shall be credited with earnings from the
Date of Deferral through a date as close as practicable to the date such deferral is paid out or withdrawn pursuant to Article VI. Earnings under this Section 8.1 shall accrue at the rate elected in accordance with Section 8.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to UCI Participants’ accounts, earnings accruals will cease prior to the closing date of the UCI Sale, as close to such closing date as administratively feasible, as necessary to allow for a payout of
such accounts as of the closing date of the UCI Sale. 
 8.2 (a) Earnings accruing in accordance with Section 8.1 shall accrue at the
Applicable Investment Fund Rate. 
 (b) Subject to subparagraph (c) of this Section 8.2, a Participant shall designate at the time
of his or her election to defer any amounts under this Plan which accrual rate or rates shall apply to his or her deferrals; provided, however, such elections must be in whole percentage points. Subject to subparagraph (c) of this
Section 8.2, such elections shall be 

  

 18 

 
effective as of the Date of Deferral through a date as close as practicable to the date such deferral is paid out or withdrawn pursuant to Article VI.

 (c) A Participant may elect on a daily basis to change the accrual rate under this Section 8.2 with respect to any or all previous
deferrals under this Plan. 
 (d) Notwithstanding subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.2, a Participant who either (i) is
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is deemed subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act by the Administrative Committee may utilize the GrafTech Nonqualified Stock Fund rate at the time of his or her election to defer
any amounts under this Plan; provided, however, that such allocated amounts shall not be eligible for reallocation to another accrual rate under this Section 8.2 for a period of 6 months from the Date of Deferral. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 9.1 Prohibition of Assignment or Transfer. Any assignment, hypothecation, pledge or transfer of a Participant’s or
Beneficiary’s right to receive payments under this Plan shall be null and void and shall be disregarded, except to the extent required by law. 
 9.2 Plan Not to Be Funded. The Company is not required, for the purpose of funding this Plan, to segregate any monies from its general funds, create any trusts, or make any special deposits, which will give a Participant greater
rights than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and the right of a Participant or Beneficiary to receive a payment under this Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 9.3 Effect of Participation. Neither selection as a Participant, nor an election to participate or participation in this Plan, shall entitle a
Participant to receive awards under the Variable Compensation Plans, SRIP, ERIP or EBP, or the TCN Plan or affect the Company’s right to discharge a Participant. 
 9.4 Communications To Be in Writing. All elections, requests and communications to the Company from Participants and Beneficiaries, and all communications to such persons from the Company, shall be in writing,
and in such form and manner, and within such time, as the Company shall determine. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company may install a telephonic voice response system or utilize electronic means (such as e-mail or the internet) for such elections,
requests and communications. 
 9.5 Absence of Liability. No officer, director or employee of the Company shall be personally liable
for any acts or omission to act under this Plan or, except in circumstances involving bad faith, for such officer’s, director’s or employee’s own act or omission to act. 
 9.6 Titles for Reference Only. The titles given herein to sections and subsections are for reference only and are not to be used to interpret the
provisions of this Plan. 
  

 19 

 9.7 Delaware Law To Govern. Subject to the last paragraph of Article III of this Plan, all
questions pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of this Plan shall be determined in accordance with Delaware law. 
 9.8 Amendment. The Board with the consent of the Board of the Corporation (and, as described in the next sentence, the Administrative Committee) may amend this Plan at any time, but no amendment may be adopted
which alters the payments due Participants or Beneficiaries, as of the date of the amendment, or the times at which payments are due, without the consent of each Participant affected by the amendment and of each Beneficiary (of a then deceased
Participant) affected by the amendment. The Administrative Committee may authorize any amendment which, either by itself or when aggregated with other amendments adopted during the calendar year, does not increase the Company’s annual cost of
any past or future benefits under this Plan by more than $500,000. 
 9.9 Plan Termination. The Board with the consent of the Board of
the Corporation may terminate this Plan for any reason and at any time. In the event of such termination: 
 (a) The
non-Post-2004 Deferral portions of accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries under this Plan shall become immediately payable in accordance with Section 6.1 and the Board, in its discretion, may decide to make lump sum payments in lieu of
annual payments. 
 (b) With respect to Post-2004 Deferrals, such amounts and accrued earnings thereon shall be distributed
only upon the earliest to occur of the following events: 
  

	 	1.	Termination and liquidation of the Plan within 12 months of a qualifying corporate dissolution or bankruptcy; 

  

	 	2.	Termination and liquidation of the Plan pursuant to irrevocable action of the Company within 30 days before, or 12 months after, a Change of Control; 

  

	 	3.	A termination and liquidation of the Plan (i) that does not occur proximate to a downturn in the Company’s financial condition; (ii) where all plans required to be
aggregated with the Plan are terminated; (iii) where no liquidation payments are made for at least 12 months after the Plan is terminated; (iv) where all payments are made by 24 months after the Plan is terminated; and (v) where the
Company does not adopt a new plan of the same type, for at least three years after the Plan is terminated; or 

  

	 	4.	The applicable time or event under Article VI of the Plan. 

 9.10 Successors of the Company. The Company will require any Successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. For purposes of this Plan, “Successor” shall mean any person that obtains or succeeds to, or has the 

  

 20 

 
practical ability to control (either immediately or with the passage of time), the Company’s business directly, by merger or consolidation, or
indirectly, by purchase of voting securities of the Company, by acquisition of rights to vote voting securities of the Company or otherwise, including but not limited to any person or group that acquires the beneficial ownership or voting rights
described in the definition of Change of Control.
