 Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation 
 1200 Enclave Parkway 
 Houston, TX 77077 
 Dear *: 
 The purpose of this letter agreement
(“Agreement”) is to set forth the terms and conditions applicable to certain supplemental pension benefits that Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) has agreed to pay to you and/or your spouse. 
 Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) imposes limitations on the amount of retirement benefits which
may be payable with respect to any participating employee under the Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”). Moreover, Code Section 401(a)(17) imposes limitations on the amount of compensation that may
be considered in determining such retirement benefits. As these limitations may curtail the retirement benefits which would otherwise be payable to you under the Pension Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the Company’s
direct payment to you of certain amounts which are designed to recoup any such losses to you. 
 No later than the 15th business day
following the date of your termination of service with the Company for any reason other than your death, the Company will credit your account in the Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation
Plan”) with an amount equal to the difference, as of the date of your termination of employment, between: 
  

	 	(1)	the actuarial equivalent value of the pension benefits that would have been payable to you under the Pension Plan, determined 

  

	 	(i)	without regard to the limitations imposed by reason of Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code and 

  

	 	(ii)	as if the amount of your compensation were equal to your SERP Compensation (as defined below); and 

  

	 	(2)	the actuarial equivalent value of the actual pension benefits payable under the Pension Plan. 

 Your “SERP Compensation” is the sum of (a) any amounts contributed by you to the Deferred Compensation Plan (your “DC Plan Contribution”) and (b) any amounts included in the definition of
compensation under the terms of the Pension Plan; provided, however, that your SERP Compensation does not include the amount of any in-service distributions that you might receive from the Deferred Compensation Plan. For purposes of this formula,
the amount of your 

 
DC Plan Contribution for each year is the amount that you choose to contribute to the Deferred Compensation Plan during that year, as set forth in the
irrevocable Deferred Compensation Plan Deferral Election submitted by you in advance of that plan year or, if applicable, within the time period permitted with respect to a Deferral Election made when you first become eligible to participate in the
Plan. 
 The subsequent distribution of any benefit to which you are entitled under the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms
of the Deferred Compensation Plan, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan pertaining to the payment of benefits to individuals who are treated by the Company as specified employees within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code. 
 Upon your death while in the service of the Company, the Company shall pay to your surviving spouse, if
any, a supplemental spousal death benefit in the form of a lump sum in an amount equal to the difference, as of the date of your termination of employment, between: 
 (1) the actuarial equivalent value of the spousal death benefit that would have been payable to your surviving spouse under the Pension
Plan determined (i) without regard to the limitations imposed by reason of Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code and (ii) as if the amount of your compensation were equal to your SERP Compensation; and 
 (2) the actuarial equivalent value of the spousal death benefit actually payable under the Pension Plan. 
 Such payment shall be made on the fifteenth business day following the date of your death. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, on the fifteenth business day following the effective date of a Change in Control of the Company prior to your termination of employment for any reason, you
will receive a lump sum payment payable from the general corporate assets of the Company in the amount that would have been transferred to the Deferred Compensation Plan on your behalf according to the terms of the preceding paragraph if your
employment had terminated as of the day before the effective date of the Change in Control of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall conclusively be deemed to have occurred if, and only if, the Company experiences a
change in control event that meets the requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A. 
 It is intended
that the provisions of this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and that the Agreement be operated in a manner consistent with such requirements to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if you are treated by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and you continue in that status on the date of your termination of employment for any reason other than death,
any payment otherwise authorized by this Agreement, other than upon a Change in Control, shall be delayed in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 409A, in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

 The right to receive benefits under this Agreement may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
encumbered in any way. 
 This Agreement supersedes any prior agreement between you and the Company with respect to payment restrictions
imposed under the Pension Plan by reasons of Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code. 
 If you find that this Agreement accurately describes
the agreement between you and the Company concerning your supplemental pension benefits described herein, please sign two copies of this letter and return one to the Company, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding agreement between Cabot
Oil & Gas Corporation and you. 
 This Agreement shall be effective as of December 31, 2008.

and 
 WHEREAS, the Company subsequently amended certain provisions of the Plan, as set forth in the First and Second Amendments to the Plan;

performance shares from and after January 1, 2009;

 5 

 ARTICLE II 
 PARTICIPATION 
 An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant when designated as such by the
Committee. 
  

 6 

 ARTICLE III 
 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 
 3.1 Amount of Deferrals. 
 The amount specified by any Deferral Election applicable to a Participant’s Base Salary and/or Bonus shall be stated as a percentage that shall not
exceed 100% of the sum of Base Salary and Bonus of the Participant. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may limit the total amount deferred by a Participant in order to satisfy Social Security tax (including Medicare), income tax and
employee benefit plan withholding requirements. The minimum contribution that may be made in any Plan Year by an Eligible Employee is $2,500, provided that such minimum contribution can be satisfied from Base Salary and/or Bonus. 
 3.2 Procedure for Elections. 
 Subject
to any modifications, additions or exceptions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate, the following terms shall apply to any Deferral Election: 
 (a) Timing of Election. 
 (i) Initial Deferral Election. 
 (A) Base Salary. An Eligible Employee who wishes to defer the receipt of all
or a portion of his Base Salary must submit a Deferral Election to the Committee before December 15 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which the Deferral Election applies. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, an Eligible
Employee may elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of his Base Salary by submitting a Deferral Election to the Committee within 30 days of the date on which he first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Each Deferral Election shall
only be effective with respect to Compensation earned after the date of its submission to the Committee. If an Eligible Employee fails to submit a Deferral Election in a timely manner, he shall be deemed by the Committee to have elected not to defer
any portion of his Base Salary under the Plan for the applicable Plan Year. 
 (B) Bonus. An Eligible Employee who
wishes to defer the receipt of any portion of a Bonus that is contingent upon his attainment of written performance criteria applicable to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months must submit a Deferral Election to the Committee on a
date established by the Committee that occurs no less than six months before the close of the performance period applicable to such Bonus; provided, however, that (1) on the date of such Deferral Election, the Eligible Employee is employed by
the Company and has been continuously employed by the Company since the later of (x) the beginning of such performance period or (y) the date that the performance criteria applicable to such Bonus are established in writing (which shall
occur within 90 days of the beginning of such performance period), and (2) in no event shall any such Deferral Election be made after the time when the Eligible Employee’s entitlement to the Bonus is readily ascertainable. 
  

 7 

 (C) Matching Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its
discretion, direct that Matching Contributions shall be credited to Participant’s Account without regard to the status of his Deferral Election. 
 (ii) Subsequent Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee who had not elected to participate in the Plan at the time when he was initially eligible to do so may make a subsequent Deferral Election with respect to
his Compensation for a subsequent Plan Year. Such Deferral Election must be made on or before December 15 of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year for which he desires to participate and shall apply only to Compensation in respect
of services performed in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Deferral Election is made. 
 (b) Term. Each
Participant’s Deferral Election shall remain in effect for Compensation paid during the current and all future Plan Years until the earliest of (i) the date the Participant separates from service, (ii) the first day of the next
succeeding Plan Year following the date the Participant revokes such Deferral Election or makes a subsequent Deferral Election but only with respect to Compensation for services performed in the future Plan Years or (iii) the first day of the
next succeeding Plan Year after which the Committee determines that such Participant’s Deferral Contributions shall cease. The deferral of a DB SERP amount shall be separate from and independent of any other Deferral Election under this Plan as
to time and form of payment. 
 (c) DB SERP Deferral. An Eligible Employee who becomes entitled to a Company DB SERP Contribution
Amount shall be deemed to have deferred 100% of such amount under the terms of this Plan. 
 (d) Cessation and Recommencement of Deferral
Elections. A Participant who has previously terminated a Deferral Election may only elect to recommence the deferral of his Compensation under this Plan, by filing a new Deferral Election with respect to the deferral of Compensation during the
next Plan Year. Such Deferral Election must be made on a form provided by the Committee and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of Section 3.1. 
 3.3 Investment Elections. 
 (a) At the time a Participant makes a Deferral Election, the Participant
shall designate the types of Funds the Participant’s Account will be deemed to be invested in for purposes of determining the amount of Interest to be credited to that Account. In making the designation pursuant to this Section 3.3, the
Participant may specify that all or any multiple of his Account in whole percentage increments (equal to or greater than 1%) be deemed to be invested in one or more of the types of Funds provided under the Plan as communicated from time to time by
the Committee. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section 3.3 effective as of the next following business day, by following the procedures set forth by the Committee; provided, however, that the portion of
Participant’s Account that is subject to such change shall be at least $250. If a Participant fails to designate a type of fund under this Section 3.3, his Account shall be invested in a fund designated by the Committee. 
  

 8 

 (b) Although the Participant may designate the type of investments, the Committee shall not be bound by
such designation. The Committee, from time to time, in its sole discretion, may designate commercially available investments of each of the types communicated by the Committee to the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above to be the Funds.
The interest rate of each such commercially available Fund shall be used to determine the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to Participant’s Account under Article IV. 
 3.4 Forms and Procedures. 
 The
Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the forms and procedures regulating all Deferral Elections. 
  

 9 

 ARTICLE IV 
 DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS AND TRUST FUNDING 
 4.1 Deferral Accounts. 
 The Committee shall establish and maintain a Deferral Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Deferral Account shall be
further divided into separate Investment Fund Subaccounts, each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a). A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited as follows: 
 (a) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account
with an amount equal to the Compensation deferred by the Participant during such pay period in accordance with the Participant’s designation under Section 3.3(a); that is, the portion of the Participant’s deferred Compensation that
the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of Fund shall be credited to the Investment Fund Subaccount corresponding to that Fund; 
 (b) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, each Investment Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited with Interest in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the
balance credited to such Investment Fund Subaccount immediately following the preceding payroll date by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(b); and 
 (c) In the event that a Participant elects for a given Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation to have a Future Date Withdrawal, all amounts attributed
to the deferral of Compensation for such Plan Year shall be accounted for in a manner which allows separate accounting for the deferral of Compensation and investment gains and loses associated with such Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation.

 4.2 Company Discretionary Contribution Account. 
 The Committee shall establish and maintain a Company Contribution Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be further divided into separate Investment
Fund Subaccounts corresponding to the Fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a). A Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited as follows: 
 (a) As of each payroll date during each Plan Year, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Company
Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Matching Contribution Amount, if any, applicable to that Participant in accordance with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a); 
 (b) As of each payroll date during which a Company Discretionary Contribution Amount, if any, is made, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund
Subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Company Discretionary Contribution Amount applicable to that Participant in accordance with the designation made by such Participant pursuant to
Section 3.3(a); 
  

 10 

 (c) As soon as practicable following the date of the termination of a Participant’s employment for
any reason other than death, the Committee shall credit the Investment Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with the Company DB SERP Contribution Amount, if any, applicable to that Participant in accordance with
the designation made by such Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a); and 
 (d) Each Investment Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s
Company Contribution Account shall be credited on a daily basis with Interest in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Fund Subaccount as of the last day of the preceding month plus contributions
during the current month commencing on the date such contributions are credited to the Investment Fund Subaccount by the interest rate for the Corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(b). 
 4.3 Trust Funding. 
 The Company has
created a Trust with respect to which Fidelity Management Trust Company serves as Trustee. The Company may contribute to the Trust an amount equal to the amount deferred by each Participant for the Plan Year. The Company may also contribute such
additional amounts as it shall deem necessary or appropriate. 
 Although the principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall be held
separate and apart from other funds of Company and, except as provided below, shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries as set forth therein, neither the Participants nor their Beneficiaries shall
have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets of the Trust prior to the time such assets are paid to the Participants or Beneficiaries as benefits and all rights created under this Plan shall be unsecured contractual rights
of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held in the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency defined in the Trust. 
 Except as provided above, assets of the Plan and Trust shall never inure to the benefit of the Company and the same shall be held for the exclusive
purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and deferring reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and Trust. 
  

 11 

 ARTICLE V 
 VESTING 
 A Participant’s Deferral Account and the Company DB SERP Contribution allocated
to a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be 100% vested at all times. The Matching Contributions allocated to a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be vested in accordance with the vesting schedule contained in
the Company’s 401(k) Plan without regard to prior service credits. The Company shall determine the vesting schedule for Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts at the time each such contribution is made by the Company. 
  

 12 

 ARTICLE VI 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
 6.1 Distribution of Deferred Compensation and Discretionary Company
Contributions. 
 (a) Distribution Without Future Date Withdrawal. 
 (i) Except as provided in Section 6.1(a)(iv) below, if a Participant terminates employment with the Company due to Retirement, the
Distributable Amount (other than amounts attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions) shall be paid to the Participant in the form of benefit elected by the Participant at the time of his initial Deferral Election, in accordance with procedures
established by Company, from among the following: 
 (A) A lump sum distribution on the Participant’s Payment Date.

 (B) Substantially equal quarterly installments over five years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date.

 (C) Substantially equal quarterly installments over ten years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. 

(D) Substantially equal quarterly installments over 20 years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 The amount of each installment payment shall be calculated by multiplying the Account Balance on the date of such installment by a fraction, the numerator
of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of the remaining installments including the current installment. 
 A
Participant may modify the form of benefit that he or she has previously elected, pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(i); provided, however, that (A) such modification occurs at least one year before the date the amount would otherwise be
distributable, (B) the modification may not accelerate the time of payment, and (C) the delayed distributions shall not be made until at least five years following the date on which the distribution would have been made absent the
modification. 
 (ii) Except as provided in Section 6.1(a)(iv) below, the portion of such Distributable Amount that is
attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions (“the DB SERP Distributable Amount”) shall be distributed in 20 substantially equal quarterly installments, beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. The amount of each installment
payment shall be calculated by multiplying the Account Balance on the date of such installment by a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of the remaining installments including the current installment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DB SERP Distributable Amount of a Participant who terminates employment for any reason other than Retirement shall be paid to him (or, in the case of his death, to his Beneficiary) in a lump sum on his Payment
Date. 
  

 13 

 (iii) In the case of a Participant who terminates employment for any reason other than
Retirement, the Distributable Amount (other than amounts attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions) shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (iv) In the case of a Participant who terminates employment with the Company for any reason and has an Account balance of $50,000 or less,
the Distributable Amount (including amounts attributable to Company DB SERP Contributions) shall be paid in a lump sum distribution on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (b) Distribution With Future Date Withdrawal. If a Participant elects a Future Date Withdrawal for a given Plan Year’s contributions and the
Future Date Withdrawal could occur while the Participant is still in the employ of the Company, such Participant shall receive his Distributable Amount in accordance with such election; provided, however, that, the Distributable Amount shall consist
solely of the deferrals of Compensation, vested Matching Contributions and vested Company Discretionary Contributions and related earnings that were designated by the Participant (in accordance with Section 1.2(t)) as the subject of such Future
Date Withdrawal. A Participant’s Future Date Withdrawal with respect to amounts of Compensation, Matching Contributions and Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts deferred in a given Plan Year shall be no earlier than two years from the
last day of such Plan Year. A Participant may extend the Future Date Withdrawal for contributions in any Plan Year, provided such extension occurs at least one year before the then-applicable Future Date Withdrawal for such contributions and is for
a period of not less than five years from such date. The Participant shall have the right to twice modify any Future Date Withdrawal. In the event that a Participant terminates employment with the Company prior to a scheduled Future Date Withdrawal
for any reason other than death, the portion of the Participant’s Account associated with such Future Date Withdrawal which has not occurred prior to such termination shall be distributed in a lump sum on his Payment Date. 
 (c) Death Prior to Benefit Commencement. If a Participant dies while he is employed by the Company and prior to the commencement of any
distributions under this Plan, his Beneficiary shall receive a lump-sum payment equal to the amount of the Participant’s vested Account Balance. Such lump-sum payment shall be made on the Participant’s Payment Date. 
 (d) Death After Benefit Commencement. If a Participant dies after his termination of employment with the Company and, as of the date of his death,
the Participant’s vested Account Balance has not been fully distributed, the remaining amount of Participant’s vested Account Balance shall continue to be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary, in accordance with the applicable
of the provisions of Section 6.1(a)(i)(B), (C) or (D). 
 6.2 Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution. 
 A Participant may apply to the Committee for the distribution of some or all of his Account due to the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The
Committee shall have the 

  

 14 

 
sole authority and discretion to determine the amount of any distribution that is made on account of such Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of any such
distribution shall not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant’s needs as a result of the Unforeseeable Emergency; provided, however, that the amount of such distribution 
 (a) may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
distribution; 
 (b) must exclude any amounts that may otherwise be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan; and 
 (c) may exclude any additional but unpaid compensation to which Participant may be entitled under the terms of another nonqualified deferred compensation
plan as a result of the Unforeseeable Emergency. 
 The Committee shall cancel Participant’s Deferral Election prior to the distribution
of any portion of Participant’s account payable under this Schedule 6.2. The payment of any Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution shall occur on the 15th business day following the Committee’s approval of such distribution and shall take
the form of a single lump-sum payment. 
 6.3 Forfeiture of Unvested Amounts. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, upon the termination of Participant’s employment for any reason, the unvested portion of
the Matching Contribution Amount that has been credited to his Account shall be forfeited and, to the extent that such Amounts have been funded through contributions to the Trust Fund, shall be credited and restored to the Company. 
 6.4 Inability to Locate Participant. 
 In the event that the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Deferral Account shall be forfeited and, to the extent
that such Amounts have been funded through contributions to the Trust Fund, shall be credited and restored to the Company. 
 6.5
Installment Payments Deemed to be Separate Payments. 
 Each installment payment in a series of installments shall be deemed to be a
separate and independent distribution for purposes of this Agreement. 
 6.6 Earnings. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4, the Participant’s Account shall continue to be credited with earnings pursuant to Section 4.1
of the Plan until all amounts credited to Account under the Plan have been distributed.

 7.8 Claims and Review Procedures. 
 (a) Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is entitled to any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”). If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the CEO will notify such person of his decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial,
(ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and
(iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review, the time limits applicable to such procedures, and a statement of the person’s rights following an adverse benefit determination on review,
including a statement of his right to file a lawsuit under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) if the claim is denied on appeal. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the
CEO (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). 
 (b) Claim Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a notice of denial, such person or his duly authorized
representative (“Applicant”) may (i) file a written request with the CEO for a review of his denied claim; (ii) review pertinent documents; and (iii) submit issues and comments in writing. The Applicant may submit written
comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits under this Plan. The Applicant may request a formal hearing before the CEO, which the CEO may grant in his discretion. The CEO shall notify the Applicant of his
decision with regard to Applicant’s claim not later than 60 days of the receipt of Applicant’s request; provided, however, that CEO may determine that an extension of up to 60 days from the termination date of the initial 60-day review
period is required and shall advise the Applicant in writing of the special circumstances requiring any such extension and the date by which the expects to render a decision. Such special circumstances that require an extension of time for rendering
a decision include, but are not limited to, the need to hold a hearing. The decision on review shall be in written or electronic notice of the final determination. If the claim is denied in whole or part, such notice, which shall be in a manner
calculated to be understood by the person receiving such notice, shall include (A) the specific reasons for the decision, (B) the specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, (C) that the
Applicant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, and (D) a statement of the Applicant’s right to file
a lawsuit under ERISA. 
 Benefits under this Plan will only be paid if the CEO decides, in his discretion, that an Applicant is entitled to
them. The decision of the CEO on review of the claim denial shall be binding on all parties when the Participant has exhausted the claims procedure under this Section 7.8. Moreover, no action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover
benefits under this Plan prior to the date the Applicant has exhausted the administrative remedies under this Section 7.8.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1 Unsecured General Creditor. 
 Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property
or assets of the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general
unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no
greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention of the Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and for purposes of Title 1 of ERISA. 
 8.2 Restriction Against Assignment. 
 The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or
engagements of any Participant, his Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person
have any right to alienate, anticipate, sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, commute, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part
thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Committee shall direct. 
 8.3
Withholding. 
 There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other Compensation payable to the Participant (or
Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan. The Company shall have the right to reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said
taxes. 
 8.4 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. 
 The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination
shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. In the event that this Plan is terminated, the amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant or, in the
event of his death, his Beneficiary in a lump sum on the fifteenth business day following the date of termination. 
  

 20 

 8.5 Governing Law. 
 This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 8.6 Receipt or Release. 
 Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims under the Plan against the Committee and the Company. The Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to
execute a receipt and release to such effect; provided, however, that the terms and conditions applicable to such release shall not cause this Plan or the payment of any amounts under this Plan to fail to comply with Section 409A. 

8.7 Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity. 
 In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt
therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and
discharge of the Committee and the Company. 
 8.8 Limitation of Rights and Employment Relationship. 
 Neither the establishment of the Plan and Trust nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits
shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company or the trustee of the Trust except as provided in the Plan and Trust; and in no event shall the terms of employment of any Employee or
Participant be modified or in any way be affected by the provisions of the Plan and Trust. 
 8.9 Headings. 
 Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions
hereof. 
 8.10 Section 409A. 
 The following provisions shall apply to this Plan, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary: 
 (a) This
Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and ambiguous provisions, if any, shall be construed in a manner that is compliant with or exempt from the application of Section 409A. 
 (b) This Plan shall not be amended or terminated in a manner that would cause the Plan or any amounts payable under the Plan to fail to comply with the
requirements of 

  

 21 

 
Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and, further, the provisions of any purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such
non-compliance shall be of no force or effect with respect to the Agreement. 
 (c) The Plan shall neither cause nor permit any payment,
benefit or consideration to be substituted for a benefit that is payable under this Plan if such action would result in the failure of any amount that is subject to Section 409A to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A.

 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of the
termination of Participant’s employment, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Agreement upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A which are subject to the
provisions of Section 409A and are not otherwise excluded under Section 409A and would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service shall be paid on the first business day next following the
earlier of (i) the date that is six months and one day following the date of the termination of Participant’s employment or (ii) the date of Participant’s death. 
 (e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment under this Plan shall be deemed to be a separate payment. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this document to be executed by its duly authorized
officer on this 9th day of December, 2008.
