1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 
 (a) Positions and Duties. No later than February 28. 2013, Executive will commence service as the Company’s Chief Sales Officer (“CSO”). Executive will report to the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The date on which Executive actually commences such service as the Company’s CSO shall be the “Effective Date.” As of the Effective Date, Executive will render such
business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the CEO. Without limiting the foregoing, Executive will be responsible for
managing all aspects of the global sales operations. Immediate goals include aligning the sales organization and personnel and designing and implementing sales plans, programs and initiatives that will demonstrably and measurably improve sales
growth and efficiency and reduce customer churn and dissatisfaction. The period Executive is employed by the Company under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.” In the event that Executive fails to begin full-time
employment with the Company by February 28, 2013, this Agreement and any equity awards to be granted pursuant to the terms hereof shall be null and void upon the date of such failure. Executive will maintain a home office in Cincinnati, Ohio,
but will spend such time in the Company’s San Francisco, California, Tempe, Arizona, Mountain View, California and San Diego, California offices, and will travel on Company business to such other locations and for such periods, as may be
necessary or appropriate to carry out his responsibilities or as may be directed by the Company’s CEO. It is anticipated that Executive will be present in the Company’s offices or at customer visits a significant portion of each business
week. 
 (b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive, except as provided in this Agreement, will devote
Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company and will use good faith efforts to discharge Executive’s obligations under this Agreement to the best of Executive’s ability and in accordance with each of the Company’s
written corporate guidance and ethics guidelines, conflict of interests policies, code of conduct and other policies and procedures as the Company may adopt from time to time. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively
engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the CEO (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the
approval of the CEO, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, professional, industry or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s performance of his obligations to Company, are disclosed in
writing to the Company and are otherwise consistent with the Company’s policies. Subject to prior approval of the CEO and in appropriate cases (as determined by the Company)

without limitation the restrictive covenants in the Confidential Information Agreement, as defined in Section 12 below) and are consistent with the Company’s policies (including without limitation the Company’s Code of Business
Conduct). 
 (i) Executive hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that as of the Effective Time, Executive
will not be a party to any contract, understanding, agreement or policy, written or otherwise, that will be breached by Executive’s entering into, or performing services under, this Agreement. Executive further represents that he has disclosed
to the Company in writing all threatened, pending, or actual claims that are unresolved and still outstanding as of the Signing Date, in each case, against Executive of which he is aware, if any, as a result of his employment with any previous
employer or his membership on any boards of directors. 
 (c) Other Entities. Executive agrees to serve if appointed,
without additional compensation, as an officer and director for each of the Company’s subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates, including entities in which the Company has a significant
investment as determined by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliates” will mean any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control of the Company. 

2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company constitutes
“at-will” employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of
the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. 

3. Compensation. 
 (a) Base Salary. Commencing with the Effective Date, the Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $275,000 as compensation for his services (such annual salary, as is then effective, to be
referred to herein as “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary will be subject to annual review. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and will be subject to the usual,
required withholdings. 
 (b) Annual Incentive. Executive will be eligible to receive annual cash incentives payable for
the achievement of performance goals established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). During calendar year 2013, Executive’s target annual
incentive (“Target Annual Incentive”) will be $200,000. The Target Annual Incentive for 2013 shall be prorated for the portion of calendar year 2013 during which Executive is an employee of the Company. The actual earned annual cash
incentive, if any, payable to Executive for any performance period will depend upon the extent to which the applicable performance goal(s) specified by the Committee are achieved. Any annual cash

  
 -2-

 
incentives earned pursuant to this Section 3(b) will be paid to Executive as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which such annual cash incentives are earned, but in no
event will be paid later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such annual cash incentives are earned. 

(c) Equity Awards. 
 (i) Subject to Committee approval, on the grant date set by the Committee, the Company will issue to Executive 200,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) pursuant the Company’s 2007 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan). The RSUs will be granted under and subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan. One-sixteenth (1/16th) will vest on June 1, 2013 and an additional one-sixteenth (1/16th) will vest on the first day of each September, December, March

 (ii) Subject to
Committee approval, on the grant date set by the Committee, the Company will issue to Executive an option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”) pursuant to the Plan. The Options will be granted under
and subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Options will vest on December 3, 2013, and the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) will vest in thirty-six (36) equal monthly
installments beginning January 3, 2014 and on the third day of each month thereafter for thirty-five (35) consecutive months, provided Executive continues to be a Service Provider through each such vesting date. 

(iii) Executive may from time to time be issued stock options, RSUs or other equity awards under the Plan or a successor plan. Such
awards together with the equity awards issued pursuant to this Agreement may be referred to in this Agreement as Equity Awards. 
 (iv) In the event that the Company consummates a Change of Control transaction, 50% of Executive’s then outstanding unvested Equity Awards will vest immediately. In the event Executive’s
employment is terminated in connection with a Change of Control, the balance of Executive’s then outstanding Equity Awards may vest as provided in Section 7(b) below. 

4. Employee Benefits. 
 (a) Generally. Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all Company employee benefit plans, policies and arrangements that are applicable to other officers of the

 -3-

 
offices. All reimbursements to Executive by the Company pursuant to this Section 5 shall be in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.
The Company will reimburse Executive up to $2,500 for legal fees incurred by Executive for reviewing this Agreement and advising Executive prior to signing this Agreement. 
 6. Termination of Employment. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Executive will be entitled to any (a) unpaid Base Salary accrued up to the
effective date of termination; (b) unpaid, but earned and accrued annual incentive for any completed fiscal year as of his termination of employment; (c) pay for accrued but unused vacation; (d) benefits or compensation as provided
under the terms of any employee benefit and compensation agreements or plans applicable to Executive; (e) unreimbursed business expenses required to be reimbursed to Executive; and (f) rights to indemnification Executive may have under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement as applicable. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (other than Cause), Executive will be entitled to exercise any outstanding
vested stock options until the first to occur of: (i) the date that is six (6) months following the later of such termination of employment or the date upon which Executive ceases to be a Service Provider (as defined in the Plan),
(ii) the applicable scheduled expiration date of such award (in the absence of any termination of employment) as set forth in the award agreement, or (iii) the ten (10) year anniversary of the award’s original date of grant. For
purposes of clarity, the term “expiration date” shall be the scheduled expiration of the option agreement and not the period that Executive shall be entitled to exercise such option. In addition, if the termination is by the Company
without Cause, Executive will be entitled to the amounts and benefits specified in Section 7. 
 7. Severance.

 (a) Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason other than in Connection with a Change of Control. If
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or Executive terminates voluntarily for Good Reason and such termination is not in Connection with a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 8 and except as provided in
Section 7(e) below, Executive will receive: (i) continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary (subject to applicable tax withholdings) for twelve (12) months, such amounts to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll policies; (ii) the payment in an amount equal to 100% of Executive’s Target Annual Incentive for the year in which the termination occurs (subject to applicable tax withholdings), such amounts to be paid in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll policies over the course of twelve (12) months, and (iii) reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits for Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s health plans until
the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months, payable when such premiums are due (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”)), or (B) the date upon
which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. 
 (b) Termination Without Cause
or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or Executive terminates voluntarily for Good Reason and the termination is in Connection with a
Change of Control, then, subject to Section 8, Executive will receive: (i) continued payment of 

  
 -4-

 
Executive’s Base Salary for the year in which the termination occurs (subject to applicable tax withholdings), for twelve (12) months, such amounts to be paid in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll policies; (ii) the payment in an amount equal to 100% of Executive’s Target Annual Incentive for the year in which the termination occurs (subject to applicable tax withholdings), such amounts to be paid in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies over the course of twelve (12) months; (iii) the actual earned cash incentive, if any, payable to Executive for the current year, pro-rated to the date of termination; (iv)100% of
Executive’s then outstanding unvested Equity Awards will vest, and (v) reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits for Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s health plans until the earlier of
(A) twelve (12) months, payable when such premiums are due (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under COBRA), or (B) the date upon which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under
similar plans. The amount of the cash incentive actually earned and payable under subsection (iii) will be determined by multiplying the Target Annual Incentive by (A) the percentage of the then current (as of the first day of the month
immediately preceding the date of termination) attainment of cash incentive metrics as a percentage of the then current target cash incentive metrics set in the applicable cash incentive plan for the current year (measured in the same manner as used
to calculate bonus accrual for financial accounting purposes), the product of which is then (B) multiplied by a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of days inclusive between the start of the current calendar year and the date of
termination and a denominator equal to 365. For purposes of clarity, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith, the extent to which any cash incentive under subsection (iii) has been earned by Executive
and its decision will be conclusive. 
 (c) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason or Termination for Cause. If
Executive’s employment is terminated voluntarily without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by the Company, then, except as provided in Section 6, (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards will
terminate immediately and stock options shall be exercisable as provided in Section 6; (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately, and (iii) Executive will be eligible for
severance benefits only in accordance with the Company’s then established plans. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability, twenty-five percent (25%) of Executive’s then unvested Equity
Awards shall vest. 
 (d) Resignation for Material Corporate Change. If within six (6) months following the
Effective Date Executive voluntarily resigns because of a Material Corporate Change then, subject to the terms of this Agreement including without limitation the conditions in Section 8, Executive will be entitled as a severance benefit to
continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary (subject to applicable tax withholdings) for twelve (12) months, such amounts to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies. This Section 7(d) expires on the
earlier of (i) six (6) months following the Effective Date, or (ii) the date on which the board approves the person currently serving as Interim CEO as the permanent CEO. For purposes of this Section 7(d) Material Corporate
Change means the selection of a person as permanent CEO other than the person currently serving as interim CEO coupled with a significant, material reduction of Executive’s duties, position, or responsibilities relative to Executive’s
duties, position, or responsibilities as of the Effective Date. A sale, separation or spin-off of a portion of the Company’s business operations provided the Company remains a going concern and provided Executive’s duties, position and
responsibilities with respect 

  
 -5-

 
to the remaining business operations are not materially reduced will also not be considered a Material Corporate Change. Executive will not resign for a Material Corporate Change without first
providing the Company with written notice within thirty (30) days of the event that Executive believes constitutes a Material Corporate Change specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for resignation under this
Section 7(d) and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days. 
 (e) Resignation for Required
Relocation. If the Company requires Executive to re-locate his permanent residence to a location other than Cincinnati, Ohio, and such requirement is not in connection with a Change of Control, and Executive resign for Good Reason (under
Section 10(f)(iii) of this Agreement) then, subject to the terms of this Agreement including without limitation the conditions in Section 8, Executive, in lieu of the severance benefits listed in Section 7(a) above, will be entitled
as a severance benefit to the following: (i) continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary (subject to applicable tax withholdings) for twelve (12) months, such amounts to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
policies; (ii) reimbursement for premiums paid for continued health benefits for Executive (and any eligible dependents) under the Company’s health plans until the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months, payable when such premiums are
due (provided Executive validly elects to continue coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”)), or (B) the date upon which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under
similar plans. Executive will not resign for a required relocation under this Section 7(e) without first providing the Company with written notice of his resignation under this Section 7(e) within thirty (30) days of the event that
Executive believes constitutes a required relocation under this Section 7(e) and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days. 
 8. Conditions to Receipt of Severance: No Duty to Mitigate. 
 (a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation
agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company and provided that such release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date (such deadline, the “Release
Deadline”). The Company shall deliver such form to Executive within five (5) business days after the date of termination. No severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 7 will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and
release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable. If the separation agreement and release of claims does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. Any severance
payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Severance Benefits (as defined in Section 24), will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s “separation from
service”, or, if later, such time as required by Section 24. Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s “separation from service”
but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s “separation from service” and the remaining payments will be made as provided in this Agreement. If Executive should die before all of the severance amounts
have been paid, such unpaid amounts will be paid in a lump-sum payment promptly following such event to Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the personal representative of Executive’s estate. 

  
 -6-

 (b) Non-solicitation and Non-competition. The receipt of any severance or other
benefits pursuant to Section 7 is subject to Executive agreeing that during the Employment Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive will comply with all of the restrictive covenants contained in the Confidential Information
Agreement (as defined in Section 12 below), including without limitation, the non-compete, non-solicitation of employees and non-solicitation of customers covenants contained in Section 5 of the Confidential Information Agreement.

 (c) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive and the Company
in its official communications will not knowingly and materially disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the other. The Company will instruct its officers and directors to not knowingly and materially disparage,
criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this agreement will be deemed to restrict Executive, the Company or any of the Company’s current or former officers
and/or directors from providing factual information to any governmental or regulatory agency (or in any way limit the content of any such information) to the extent they are requested or required to provide such information pursuant to applicable
order, subpoena, law or regulation. 
 (d) Other Requirements. Executive’s receipt of continued severance payments
pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement and the provisions of this Section 8. 

(e) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor
will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment. 
 9. Excise Tax. In the
event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s severance benefits payable under the terms of this Agreement will be either (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which
would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by
Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits. Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required by this Section 9 will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) reduction
of vesting acceleration of equity awards; and (3) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the
reverse order of the date of grant for Executive’s equity awards. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.

 10. Definitions.

the CEO with respect to Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the business of the Company;

(vi) Executive (A) obstructing or impeding; (B) endeavoring to obstruct, impede or improperly influence, or (C) failing
to materially cooperate with, any investigation authorized by the Board or any governmental or self-regulatory entity (an “Investigation”). However, Executive’s failure to waive attorney-client privilege relating to communications
with Executive’s own attorney in connection with an Investigation will not constitute “Cause”; 
 (vii)
Executive’s disqualification or bar by any governmental or self-regulatory authority from serving in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement or Executive’s loss of any governmental or self-regulatory license that is reasonably
necessary for Executive to perform his responsibilities to the Company under this Agreement, if (A) the disqualification, bar or loss continues for more than thirty (30) days, and (B) during that period the Company uses its good faith
efforts to cause the disqualification or bar to be lifted or the license replaced. While any disqualification, bar or loss continues during Executive’s employment, Executive will serve in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement to whatever

50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 

  
 -8-

 (ii) The approval by the stockholders of the Company, or if stockholder approval is not
required, approval by the Board, of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

other than Goldman Sachs and its related funds and entities, becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power
represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. 
 (c) Continuance Period. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Continuance Period” will mean the period of time beginning on the date of the termination of Executive’s employment and ending on the date on which Executive is no longer receiving Base Salary payments under
Section 7.

position, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the reduction of such duties, position or responsibilities that Executive asserts constitutes the basis for resignation for Good Reason. A change of title alone is not Good Reason;

 (ii) A material reduction in Executive’s cash compensation (either Base Salary, or Base Salary and Annual Incentive
Target combined) as in effect immediately prior to such 

  
 -9-

 
reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a one-time reduction that also is applied to other similarly situated executive officers of the Company and which one-time reduction reduces the cash
compensation by a percentage reduction of 10% or less in the aggregate will not be deemed material and will not constitute “Good Reason”; 
 (iii) A material change in the geographic location from which Executive must perform services (that is, a requirement that Executive re-locate his permanent residence to a location other than Cincinnati,
Ohio), it being recognized that Executive will be required to travel extensively and be present in the Company’s San Francisco, CA and Tempe, AZ offices consistently in performance of his business duties; or 

(iv) A material breach by the Company (or its successor) of any material contractual obligation owed Executive pursuant to this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by a successor).

and subject to the terms of any separate written indemnification agreement. 
 12. Confidential Information. Executive
will execute the form of At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Inventions Assignment and Arbitration Agreement, appended hereto as Exhibit A (the “Confidential Information Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. 
 13.
Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death, and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the
Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase,
merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. This Section 13
will not prevent Executive from transferring any vested property he owns.

 21. Tax Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject
to withholding of applicable taxes. 
 22. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state of
Arizona without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. 
 23. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has had
the opportunity to discuss this matter with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into
this Agreement. 
 24. Code Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or
separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits”) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other
than due to death), then the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after
the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to
each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation, then any payments delayed in accordance
with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule

  
 -12-

 
applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the
Treasury Regulations. 
 (c) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term
deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above. 

(d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant
to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Section 409A Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s
taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken
into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 
 (e) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the
additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions
which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.” 

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an
original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

 Article 1. The Plan 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan 
 Sonoco Products Company (the “Company”) previously
established and presently maintains the Sonoco Savings Plan for the benefit of its eligible Employees and the eligible Employees of participating Affiliates. Effective January 3, 2012, the Clear Pack Company 401(k) Retirement Plan was merged
into this Plan. Effective December 15, 2012, the Sonoco Investment and Retirement Plan was merged into this Plan. Effective January 1, 2013— 
  

	(a)	the name of the Sonoco Savings Plan was changed to the Sonoco Retirement and Savings Plan (the “Plan”); 

 

	(b)	the Tegrant Investment and Retirement Plan was merged into the Plan and Tegrant Corporation became a participating Employer hereunder; and 

 

	(c)	The Plan was amended in certain respects. 

 This
document represents the terms of the Plan as in effect on January 1, 2013. 
 1.2 Applicability of Plan 

This Plan generally applies only to Employees who are employed by an Employer on or after January 1, 2013. Except as otherwise provided in a
retroactively effective provision of this Plan document, or except as otherwise required by law, the rights and benefits of former Employees who terminated or died before January 1, 2013 (and their Beneficiaries) shall be determined under the
terms of the prior plan documents as in effect upon their termination or death. 
 In addition, the provisions of this Plan shall apply to each
Eligible Employee, except as otherwise noted in an Appendix. Appendix A lists each participating Employer hereunder (other than Sonoco Products Company) and describes specific variations to Plan provisions and features that apply to certain nonunion
Eligible Employees. Appendix B lists each group of collectively-bargained Employees who are Eligible Employees with respect to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions and also describes specific variations to Plan provisions and features
that apply to each such collectively-bargained group. Appendix C lists each group of collectively-bargained Employees who are Eligible Employees with respect to Retirement Contributions. 
 1.3 Purpose of Plan 
 The purpose of this Plan is to allow Eligible Employees to set aside a
portion of their wages and salaries for their retirement, to encourage Employee savings by matching a portion of Employee contributions with contributions from the Employer, and to provide other Employer-paid sources of retirement income. The Plan
and any related trusts are intended to meet the requirements of sections 401(a), 401(k), 401(m), and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The portion of the Plan comprised of assets invested in the Company Stock Fund (but not
amounts that are transferred from the Company Stock Fund into other Funds) is intended to be a stock bonus plan that qualifies as an employee stock ownership plan under Code section 4975(e)(7).

day of any subsequent payroll period, by completing a Pay Reduction Agreement under section 5.7. 
 4.3 Transfers of Employment

  

	(a)	General Rules. This section 4.3(a) describes how employment transfers affect eligibility for Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions.

  

	 	(1)	Transfer into Position as Eligible Employee. When an Employee transfers from a position of employment in which he or she is not an Eligible Employee with respect
to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.14(a)) into a position of employment where he or she is such an Eligible Employee, the Eligible Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant with respect to Plan
benefits other than Retirement Contributions— 

  

	 	(A)	immediately as of the transfer date if he or she had satisfied the service requirement described in section 4.1(a)(1) as of such date; or 

 

	 	(B)	as of the date determined under section 4.1(a) if he or she had not met the service requirement described in section 4.1(a)(1) as of the transfer date.

  

	 	(2)	Transfer into Position as Ineligible Employee. If an Employee who is an Eligible Employee with respect to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions (as
defined in section 2.14(a)) transfers into a position of employment in which he or she is no longer such an Eligible Employee, such Employee shall not be entitled to— 

 

	 	(A)	make any Before-Tax Contributions under section 5.1(a), Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b), or After-Tax Contributions under section 5.2, or

  

	 	(B)	receive any Matching contributions under section 5.3 or Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions under section 5.5, 

with respect to Compensation earned after the date of transfer. 

 

	(b)	Impact of Employment Transfers on Eligibility for Retirement Contributions. This section 4.3(b) describes how employment transfers affect eligibility for
Retirement Contributions. 

  
 22 

	 	(1)	Transfer into Position as Eligible Employee. Except as otherwise provided in this section 4.3(b)(1), when an Employee transfers from a position of employment in
which he or she is not an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.13(b)) into a position of employment where he or she is such an Eligible Employee, the Employee shall become a Participant with
respect to Retirement Contributions— 

  

	 	(A)	immediately as of the transfer date if he or she is at least age 21 and has completed one or more years of Vesting Service as of such transfer date; or

  

	 	(B)	as of the date determined under section 4.1(b) if he or she did not meet the requirements described in section 4.3(b)(1)(A) as of the transfer date.

 However, if a nonunion Employee who is actively participating in a pay-based defined benefit plan sponsored by
the Company or an Affiliate transfers to a position of employment with an Employer hereunder, such individual shall continue as an active participant in such defined benefit plan and shall not be treated as an Eligible Employee with respect to
Retirement Contributions (except as provided otherwise under section 2.14(b)(3)). 
  

	 	(2)	Transfer into Position as Ineligible Employee. If an Employee who is an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section
2.14(b)) transfers into a position of employment in which he or she is no longer such an Eligible Employee, such Employee shall not be entitled to any Retirement Contributions under section 5.4 with respect to Compensation earned after the date
of transfer. 

  

	(c)	Transfer of Plan Accounts. If a Member transfers to a position of employment with a nonparticipating Affiliate that maintains a qualified retirement plan under
Code section 401(a) that will accept a transfer of the Participant’s Account from this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to transfer such Member’s Account to this other plan. The Trustee will execute the
transfer as soon as practicable after receiving appropriate directions from the Committee. 

 4.4 Participation upon
Reemployment 
  

	(a)	General Rule. This section 4.4(a) describes when a former Employee who is reemployed by an Employer can become a Participant with respect to Plan benefits other
than Retirement Contributions upon reemployment. If such former Employee is reemployed as an Eligible Employee with respect to Plan benefits other than Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.14(a)), he or she shall be eligible to become a
Participant with respect to such benefits— 

  
 23 

	 	(1)	immediately upon reemployment if he or she had satisfied the service requirement described in section 4.1(a)(1) as of such date; or 

 

	 	(2)	in all other cases, as of the date determined under section 4.1(a), assuming such individual is treated as a new Employee under this Plan at the time of his or her
reemployment. 

  

	(b)	Impact of Reemployment on Eligibility for Retirement Contributions. This section 4.4(b) describes when a former Employee who is reemployed by an
Employer can become a Participant with respect to Retirement Contributions. If such former Employee is reemployed as an Eligible Employee with respect to Retirement Contributions (as defined in section 2.14(b)), he or she will become a Participant
with respect to Retirement Contributions— 

  

	 	(1)	immediately upon reemployment if— 

  

	 	(A)	such Employee was vested in his or her Retirement Contributions Account under Article 7 upon his or her earlier Separation from Service (as defined in section
3.1(e)(2)); or 

  

	 	(B)	such Employee is at least age 21 upon his or her reemployment and had completed one or more years of Vesting Service as of his or her earlier Separation from Service
(as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)); or 

  

	 	(2)	in all other cases, as of the date determined under section 4.1(b). 

  
 24 

 Article 5. Contributions and Allocations 
 5.1 Before-Tax Contributions 
  

	(a)	Election by Participant. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect
to have his or her Compensation reduced under a Pay Reduction Agreement described in section 5.7, and to have this amount contributed on his or her behalf as a Before-Tax Contribution to the Plan. Subject to the limits described in sections
5.8(a) and 5.9 (and Appendix A or Appendix B, if applicable), this reduction for Before-Tax Contributions shall be a specified whole percentage of Compensation. Notwithstanding the above, in the interests of managing nondiscrimination test results
under section 5.8(b) for any Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose more restrictive limits on the percentage of Compensation that may be contributed as Before-Tax Contributions by Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees. 

  

	(b)	Roth Contributions. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect to
designate all or a part of his or her Before-Tax Contributions as Roth Contributions. Such designation shall be prospective only and shall be made at the time and in the manner specified by the Committee. Any election by a Participant to designate
all or part of is or her Before-Tax Contributions as Roth Contributions shall remain in force until modified by the Participant or until the Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan. 

Amounts designated as Roth Contributions shall be included in the Participant’s taxable income in the year of contribution, but
unless otherwise noted, these Roth Contributions shall be treated as Before-Tax Contributions for all other purposes under this Plan. 
  

	(c)	Catch-Up Contributions. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a), and who
has attained age 50 before the end of the Plan Year, shall be eligible to make a separate election of catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code section 414(v). Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken
into account for purposes of the Plan provisions implementing the required limitations of Code sections 402(g) and 415. In addition, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code
section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of making such catch-up contributions. 

  
 25 

	(d)	Payment to Trust Fund. The Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund the Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions elected by its Eligible Employees for
each payroll period. These contributions shall be made as soon as practicable after the payroll period, provided that in no event shall contributions under this section for any Plan Year be made later than— 

 

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or

  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under section 5.1(a) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions Account and contributions under section 5.1(b) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Roth
Contributions Account. 
 5.2 After-Tax Contributions 
  

	(a)	Election by Participant. Each Eligible Employee (as defined in section 2.14(a)) who has met the participation requirements described in section 4.1(a) may elect
to make After-Tax Contributions for each payroll period in an amount specified by the Participant under a Pay Reduction Agreement described in section 5.7. This reduction for After-Tax Contributions shall be a whole percentage of Compensation
(subject to the limits of section 5.9 and Appendix A or Appendix B, if applicable). Notwithstanding the above, in the interests of managing nondiscrimination test results under section 5.8(c) for any Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, impose more restrictive limits on the percentage of Compensation that may be contributed as After-Tax Contributions by Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees. 

 

	(b)	Payments to the Trust Fund. After-Tax Contributions under this section 5.2 shall be paid to the Trust Fund as soon as practicable after the payroll period,
and in no event after the date required by ERISA. Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions Account. 

 5.3 Matching Contributions 
  

	(a)	Regular Matching Contributions. Except as provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, each Employer shall make Matching Contributions on behalf of each of its
Participants for each payroll period in an amount equal to 50 percent of the first 4 percent of Compensation contributed on behalf of the Participants for each payroll period (but only with respect to Before-Tax Contributions under section
5.1(a) or Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b)). However, an Employer shall not make Matching Contributions with respect to Before-Tax Contributions that a Participant separately elects to make as catch-up contributions pursuant to
section 5.1(c), regardless of whether any Before-Tax Contributions so elected are categorized as catch-up contributions in accordance with Code section 414(v). 

  
 26 

	(b)	True-Up Matching Contributions. Except as provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, for each Plan Year, the Employer shall provide to each Participant who is
in active employment with the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year an additional “true- up” Matching Contribution equal to the difference (if any) between— 

 

	 	(1)	the Matching Contribution to which the Participant would have been entitled under section 5.3(a) considering the amount of the Participant’s Before-Tax
Contributions and Roth Contributions for the entire Plan Year; and 

  

	 	(2)	the Matching Contribution made throughout such Plan Year on a pay period by pay period basis. 

This “true- up” Matching Contribution shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the end of each Plan Year (to
be allocated to such Participant’s Account as of the last day of such prior Plan Year). True-up Matching Contributions will be invested pursuant to the investment elections that are current at the time such contributions are made. In no event
will adjustments to the “true-up” Matching Contributions be made to reflect any changes in investment performance which occur prior to the date such contributions are actually made. 

 

	(c)	Payments to the Trust Fund. Matching Contributions under this section 5.3 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or times as the Employer may
determine, but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or

  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account. 
 5.4 Retirement Contributions 
  

	(a)	Eligibility. An Employee who qualifies as a Participant under section 4.1(b) shall be entitled to a Retirement Contribution for the Plan Year if he or she
either— 

  

	 	(1)	is actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year; or 

 

	 	(2)	terminates employment before the last day of the Plan Year on account of death or after reaching age 55. 

  
 27 

	(b)	Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer shall make Retirement Contributions to the Account of each of its Participants who meets the eligibility requirements
described in section 5.4(a) equal to the sum of— 

  

	 	(1)	4 percent of such Participant’s eligible Compensation for the Plan Year; and 

 

	 	(2)	4 percent of such Participant’s eligible Compensation for the Plan Year in excess of the Social Security Wage Base. 

However, notwithstanding the above, only Compensation earned after an Eligible Employee has become a Participant (as determined under
section 4.1(b)) shall be considered in determining the amount of Retirement Contributions under this section 5.4(b). 
  

	(c)	Payment to Trust Fund. Retirement Contributions under this section 5.4 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or times as the Employers may determine,
but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or

  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Retirement Contributions Account. 
 5.5 Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions 
  

	(a)	Eligibility. A collectively-bargained Employee who qualifies as an Eligible Employee under section 2.14(d)(1) shall be entitled to Collectively-Bargained
Nonelective Employer Contributions for the Plan Year if he or she— 

  

	 	(1)	qualifies as a Participant for such Plan Year under section 4.1(a); 

  

	 	(2)	is covered by a collective-bargaining agreement that provides for such contributions, as described in Appendix B; and 

 

	 	(3)	satisfies the additional eligibility requirements that apply to such contributions (if any), as described in Appendix B. 

 

	(b)	Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer shall make Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions to the Account of each of its Participants who meet
the eligibility requirements described in section 5.5(a) equal to the amount determined under Appendix B. 

  
 28 

	(c)	Payment to Trust Fund. Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions under this section 5.5 shall be paid to the Trust Fund at such time or
times as the Employers may determine, but not later than— 

  

	 	(1)	the date prescribed by law for the Employer to obtain a federal income tax deduction for the Plan Year for which the contributions are made; or

  

	 	(2)	the date required under ERISA, if earlier. 

 Contributions under this section shall be allocated to the Participant’s Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions Account. 
 5.6 Rollover Contributions 
  

	(a)	General Rule. This section 5.6(a) applies to the rollover of eligible distributions other than Roth rollovers. In accordance with procedures established by the
Committee, an Eligible Employee may contribute cash amounts attributable to eligible rollover distributions from: 

  

	 	(1)	a qualified plan described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a), including the direct rollover of after-tax employee contributions made to such plan;

  

	 	(2)	an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); or 

  

	 	(3)	an eligible plan under Code section 457 that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state. 

 An Eligible Employee may also contribute cash distributions from an individual
retirement account or annuity described in Code section 408(a) or (b) that are eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income. 
 The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct the return of rollover contributions to an Eligible Employee if the Committee determines that such return is necessary to insure the
continued qualification of the Plan under Code section 401(a). 
 Rollover contributions shall be credited to the Eligible
Employee’s Rollover Contributions Account, except that a rollover of after-tax employee contributions shall be credited to the Eligible Employee’s After-Tax Rollover Contributions Account. 

 

	(b)	Roth Rollover Contributions. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, an Eligible Employee may contribute a qualified Roth rollover to the
Plan including— 

  
 29 

	 	(1)	a direct transfer from a designated Roth account under another qualified plan described in Code section 401(a); or 

 

	 	(2)	an indirect transfer of the portion of a distribution from a designated Roth account under another applicable retirement plan that would have been includible in the
Eligible Employee’s gross income if not for the rollover. 

 Amounts contributed to the Plan pursuant to this
section 5.6(b) shall be credited to the Eligible Employee’s Roth Rollover Contributions Account. 
 5.7 Pay Reduction Agreements

  

	(a)	General Rule. Except as provided in section 5.7(b), an Eligible Employee who has satisfied the requirements to become a Participant section 4.1(a) can make
Before-Tax Contributions under section 5.1(a), Roth Contributions under section 5.1(b), catch-up contributions under section 5.1(c), and After-Tax Contributions under section 5.2 only by filing with the Committee a Pay Reduction Agreement in a
manner specified by the Committee. Under this Pay Reduction Agreement, the Eligible Employee’s Compensation may be reduced on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis (as specified by the Eligible Employee) within the limits specified under
section 5.1 or section 5.2 (as applicable), and the Employer shall agree to contribute these withheld amounts to the Plan on the Eligible Employee’s behalf in accordance with section 5.1 or section 5.2 (as applicable).

 The Pay Reduction Agreement shall be filed with the Committee at a time specified by the Committee before the
date on which it is to take effect. A Participant’s Pay Reduction Agreement shall remain in effect until canceled or amended. 
  

	(b)	Automatic Enrollment for Newly Eligible Employees.  

  

	 	(1)	General Rule. Except as provided in Appendix A or Appendix B, an Eligible Employee shall be treated as having filed a Pay Reduction Agreement authorizing
Before-Tax Contributions equal to 3 percent of Compensation, commencing as of the first day of the month next following his or her satisfaction of the eligibility requirements described in section 4.1(a) unless such Eligible Employee affirmatively
elects in advance of such date to contribute at a different percentage, to contribute on a Roth or after-tax basis, or to decline participation. 

 However, the Before-Tax Contribution rate for a nonunion Employee who was eligible to participate in the Tegrant Investment and Retirement Plan on December 31, 2012, and who becomes an Eligible
Employee under this Plan as of January 1, 2013, shall be set automatically at the rate required (if any) to ensure that the sum of his or her Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions on January 1, 2013 are equal to 3 percent of
Compensation (subject to such Employee’s affirmative election to contribute in a different manner or to decline participation). 

  
 30 

	 	(2)	Notice. The Committee shall provide Eligible Employees with notice of the automatic contribution feature at least 30 days in advance of the first payroll
deduction under section 5.7(b)(1). 

  

	(c)	Suspension of Contributions. A Pay Reduction Agreement may be canceled by a Participant at any time during the Plan Year by giving notice to the Committee at a
time and in a manner specified by the Committee. This notice shall be effective, and the Pay Reduction Agreement shall be cancelled, as soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of such notice by the Committee. Any Participant who
elects to suspend contributions pursuant to this section 5.7(c) shall be eligible to resume contributions as of any later date by filing with the Committee a new Pay Reduction Agreement, which shall be effective as soon as administratively
practicable following its receipt by the Committee. 

  

	(d)	Change in Contributions. A Pay Reduction Agreement may be amended by a Participant to increase or decrease the percentage amount of the Participant’s
Before-Tax Contributions, Roth Contributions, or After-Tax Contributions by giving notice to the Committee at a time and in a manner specified by the Committee. This notice shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable following the
receipt of such notice by the Committee. 

 5.8 Limitations on Contributions 

 

	(a)	Limit on Before-Tax Contributions. No Employer shall make Before-Tax Contributions (which, for this purpose, shall also include Roth Contributions) for any
calendar year for any Member which, when aggregated with any previous deferrals by the Member pursuant to any other cash or deferred arrangement maintained by the Company or an Affiliate under Code section 401(k), are in excess of $17,500 (or
such greater amount as may be determined under Code section 402(g)). To the extent that any Before-Tax Contributions are made in contravention of the preceding sentence, such excess amounts (plus earnings or minus losses, determined in the
manner described below), shall be refunded to the Member as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Plan Year, but no later than April 15 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess deferrals occurred.

 In addition, if the limitation in Code section 402(g) would be exceeded by the total of the Member’s
Before-Tax Contributions under this Plan and deferrals for the same calendar year made under any other cash or deferred arrangement maintained by an employer other than an Affiliate, the excess amount designated by the Member (or by the Employer on
the Member’s behalf) shall be refunded to the Member no later than April 15 following such calendar year. The amount of excess deferrals refunded by the Plan shall not exceed the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions for the calendar
year. 

  
 31 

 Refunds of excess deferrals under this section 5.8(a) shall be taken first from the
Member’s Roth Contributions Account, and then from the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions Account (but only to the extent that the excess deferrals for such Plan Year exceed the amount of the Member’s Roth Contributions for such Plan
Year). 
 Any refund required under this section 5.8(a) shall be adjusted for attributable earnings and losses, as determined
under section 6.5, up to the end of the Plan Year for which the deferrals were made (and there shall be no adjustment for earnings and losses for any period after the end of the Plan Year for which the deferrals were made). 

 

	(b)	Actual Deferral Percentage Test. The actual deferral percentage for each Plan Year of the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to participate in the
Plan shall not exceed the greater of— 

  

	 	(1)	one and one-quarter times the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year; or 

 

	 	(2)	the lesser of (A) two times the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year or (B) two percentage
points plus the actual deferral percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year. 

The actual deferral percentage of each group of Eligible Employees for any Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated
separately for each Eligible Employee in each group) of (i) the Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions made on behalf of each Eligible Employee for such Plan Year to (ii) such Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the Plan
Year. In the discretion of the Committee, the Compensation used for this purpose may be limited to Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee satisfied the eligibility requirements of section 4.1(a), provided
that this alternative is applied uniformly to all Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of this test only if they are allocated to the Eligible Employee’s
Account as of a date within the Plan Year and are paid to the Trust Fund within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. 

To the extent necessary to conform to the limitation of this section 5.8(b), the Committee shall reduce Before-Tax Contributions and
Roth Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees consistent with regulations issued under Code section 401(k). Such reduction shall be effected by reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in the
order of the dollar amount of such contributions, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employees who elected the largest dollar amount of such contributions. 

  
 32 

 Excess contributions determined under this section 5.8(b) shall be refunded to the Member
with the income thereon and without regard to any other provision in the Plan. Refunds of excess contributions under this section 5.8(b) shall be taken first from the Member’s Roth Contributions Account, and then from the Member’s
Before-Tax Contributions Account (but only to the extent that the excess contributions for the Plan Year exceed the amount of the Member’s Roth Contributions for such Plan Year). 

The income that is refunded under this section 5.8(b) shall be calculated in accordance with section 6.5 and applicable Treasury
regulations or other regulatory guidance. However, a refund under this section shall not include income attributable to any period after the end of the Plan Year for which the contributions were made. 

A refund shall occur within the first two and one-half months after such Plan Year, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event
later than 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. A refund of excess contributions under this section 5.8(b) shall be coordinated with any refund required under section 5.8(a). Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Before-Tax
Contributions or Roth Contributions that are refunded pursuant to this section 5.8(b) shall be treated as a forfeiture (and shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions due under section 5.3 from the Employer of the affected Member).

  

	(c)	Actual Contribution Percentage Test. The actual contribution percentage for each Plan Year of the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to participate
in the Plan shall not exceed the greater of— 

  

	 	(1)	one and one-quarter times the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year; or 

 

	 	(2)	the lesser of (A) two times the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year or (B) two percentage
points plus the actual contribution percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year. 

The actual contribution percentage of each group of Eligible Employees for any Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated
separately for each Eligible Employee in each group) of (i) the After-Tax and Matching Contributions made on behalf of each Eligible Employee for such Plan Year to (ii) the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year. In the
discretion of the Committee, the Compensation used for this purpose may be limited to Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year during which the Employee satisfied the participation requirements

  
 33 

 
of section 4.1(a), provided that this alternative is applied uniformly to all Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. After-Tax and Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes
of this test only if they are allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Account as of a date within the Plan Year, are paid to the Trust Fund within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year, and (regarding Matching Contributions only) are made on
account of the Eligible Employee’s Before-Tax Contributions (or Roth Contributions) for the Plan Year. 
 To the extent
necessary to conform to the limitation described in this section 5.8(c), the Committee shall reduce After-Tax and Matching Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees in a manner similar to the method described in
section 5.8(b). Any After-Tax and Matching Contributions so reduced (including allocable income) shall be refunded to the Member. The income on After-Tax and Matching Contributions that are refunded under this section 5.8(c) shall be
calculated in accordance with section 6.5 and applicable Treasury regulations or other regulatory guidance. However, a refund under this section shall not include income attributable to any period after the Plan Year for which the contributions
were made. 
 Any refund made pursuant to this section 5.8(c) shall be paid without regard to any other provision in the Plan.
Each refund shall occur within the first two and one-half months after the Plan Year, or as soon as practicable after that date, but in no event later than 12 months after the end of the Plan Year. Any refund of After-Tax and Matching
Contributions shall be coordinated with any forfeiture required under section 5.8(b) and shall not discriminate in favor of those Highly Compensated Employees receiving such distributions. 

 

	(d)	Special Testing Provisions. 

  

	 	(1)	For purposes of section 5.8(b), the actual deferral percentage of a Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible for Before-Tax Contributions or Roth Contributions
under two or more plans described in Code section 401(k) that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined as if all such contributions were made under a single Plan, except as otherwise provided in regulations under Code
section 401(k). 

 For purposes of section 5.8(c), the actual contribution percentage of a Highly
Compensated Employee who is eligible to participate in two or more plans providing for After-Tax or Matching Contributions (within the meaning of Code section 401(m)) that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined as if
all these contributions are made under a single plan, except as otherwise provided in regulations under Code section 401(m). 

  
 34 

	 	(2)	For purposes of this section 5.8, the actual deferral percentages and actual contribution percentages shall be determined by considering all applicable
contributions made under any other plans that are aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b). If other plans are permissively aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code section 401(k) or 401(m), the
aggregated plans must satisfy Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as if they constituted a single plan. 

  

	 	(3)	In the discretion of the Committee, the actual contribution percentage for a Participant may be determined by taking into account all or part of his or her Before-Tax
Contributions and Roth Contributions, provided that the requirements in applicable Treasury regulations are satisfied. 

  

	 	(4)	In addition to the foregoing, if the Committee determines during the course of the Plan Year that the actual deferral percentage test in section 5.8(b) or the
actual contribution percentage test in section 5.8(c) might not be met for the Plan Year, the Committee may reduce, at any time, the maximum percentage of Compensation at which Highly Compensated Employees may elect Before-Tax Contributions, Roth
Contributions, and/or After-Tax Contributions to the percentage deemed necessary to satisfy the appropriate test for the Plan Year. Any such limitation shall be treated as an employer-provided limit with respect to these Highly Compensated Employees
for purposes of electing catch-up contributions pursuant to section 5.1(c). 

  

	 	(5)	The portion of the Plan that benefits Eligible Employees who are included in collective bargaining units shall be tested separately from the portion of the Plan that
benefits Eligible Employees who are not covered by collective bargaining units. In addition, when testing the portion of the Plan that benefits Eligible Employees who are members of collective bargaining units, (A) this portion of the Plan
shall not be subject to the average contribution percentage test described in section 5.8(c) and (B) the Committee may test each bargaining unit separately under section 5.8(b) or may combine two or more bargaining units into a single test
(provided that any such combinations are reasonable and reasonably consistent from year to year). 

 5.9 Limitation on Annual
Additions 
  

	(a)	General Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, the Annual Additions (as defined in section 5.9(c)) with respect to a Member for a
Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of— 

  

	 	(1)	$51,000, or any higher annual amount permitted under Code section 415(d); or 

 

	 	(2)	100 percent of the Member’s Compensation for the Plan Year. 

  
 35 

	(b)	Reduction in Annual Additions. If in any Plan Year a Member’s Annual Additions exceed the limitation determined under section 5.9(a), such excess shall
not be allocated to the Member’s accounts in any other defined contribution plan. Instead, the excess shall be taken first from the Member’s subaccounts under this Plan as follows: 

 

	 	(1)	to the extent allowed by regulations, the Member’s After-Tax Contributions, or any part thereof, shall be refunded to the Member, along with any earnings
attributable thereto; 

  

	 	(2)	to the extent allowed by regulations, the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions, or any part thereof, shall be refunded to the Member, along with any earnings
attributable thereto; 

  

	 	(3)	to the extent allowed by regulations, the Member’s Roth Contributions, or any part thereof, shall be refunded to the Member, along with any earnings attributable
thereto; and 

  

	 	(4)	the Matching Contributions that would have been allocated to the Member’s Account but for this section 5.9 shall be placed in a suspense account.

 Any amount held in a suspense account shall be used to reduce contributions by the Employer for the next Plan
Year. Such suspense account shall share in the gains and losses of the Trust Fund on the same basis as other Accounts. 
  

	(c)	Annual Additions. For purposes of this section, Annual Additions mean the sum, credited to a Member’s Account under this Plan and the Member’s accounts
under all other qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, of— 

  

	 	(1)	Company and Affiliate contributions; 

  

	 	(2)	forfeitures; 

  

	 	(3)	Employee contributions; 

  

	 	(4)	amounts allocated to an individual medical account (as defined in Code section 415(l)) that is part of a defined benefit plan maintained by the Company or an
Affiliate; and 

  

	 	(5)	amounts (derived from contributions paid after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after that date) attributable to post-retirement medical benefits
allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by the Company or an Affiliate. 

  
 36 

 However, any amount described in section 5.9(c)(4) or (5) shall not be counted as an Annual Addition in
applying the rule in Code section 415(c)(1)(B) and section 5.9(a)(2) of the Plan (limiting Annual Additions to 100 percent of Compensation). In addition, restored forfeitures shall not be treated as Annual Additions. 

 

	(d)	Definition of Affiliate. In applying the limitations on contributions under this section, an employer shall be treated as an Affiliate of the Company if, in
determining common control under Code section 414(b) and (c), the phrase “more than 50 percent” were substituted for the phrase “at least 80 percent” each place the latter appears in Code section 1563 and in the
regulations under Code section 414(c). 

  

	(e)	IRS Regulations. This section 5.9 shall be interpreted and applied consistently with the final regulations under Code section 415 that were adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service on April 5, 2007 (and all subsequent modifications to such regulations). These regulations are hereby incorporated by reference. 

  
 37 

 Article 6. Investment Funds 
 6.1 Investment of Contributions 
  

	(a)	Election of Investments. Each Participant shall elect to direct the investment of all Plan contributions made on his or her behalf into any one or more of the
Funds in increments of 1 percent (except that the amount directed into the Sonoco Stock Fund may not exceed 50 percent of such contributions). The Participant shall make this election upon becoming a Participant by giving notice in a manner
specified by the Committee. 

  

	(b)	Default Election. In the event that a Participant fails to make the election described in section 6.1(a) upon first becoming a Participant, his or her Account
shall be invested in the Target Date Retirement Fund applicable to the Participant (or similar Fund selected by the Investment Council in its sole discretion). The Fund designated by the Investment Council under this section 6.1(b) is intended to be
a qualified default investment arrangement under ERISA section 404(c)(5) (and related regulations). As such, the Committee shall provide a notice to Participants describing— 

 

	 	(1)	the circumstances under which contributions will be invested in the default Fund selected by the Investment Council under this section 6.1(b); 

 

	 	(2)	the investment objectives, risk and return characteristics, and fees and expenses related to the default Fund selected by the Investment Council under this section
6.1(b); 

  

	 	(3)	the right of Participants to self direct the investment of their contributions into the other Funds; and 

 

	 	(4)	where Participants can obtain explanations of the other Funds. 

 This notice shall be provided to each Participant at least 30 days in advance of the date of the first investment that is made on the Participant’s under this section 6.1(b) and at least 30 days in
advance of each subsequent Plan Year. 
  

	(c)	Changes in Elections. Each Participant may change his or her investment election for future contributions at any time (in 1 percent increments) by giving notice
of such change to the Committee at a time and in a manner specified by the Committee (subject to the limitation described in section 6.1(a) that no more than 50 percent of future contributions may be directed into the Sonoco Stock Fund). This change
shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of such notice. 

  
 38 

 6.2 Investment Transfers 
 Each Member may elect to transfer the assets in any Fund to any one or more of the other Funds in 1 percent increments at any time by giving notice of such transfer to the Committee at a time and in
a manner specified by the Committee. This transfer shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of such notice. 
 6.3 Sonoco Stock Fund 
  

	(a)	Dividends. Each Member (or Beneficiary) who has a portion of his or her Account invested in Company Stock under the Sonoco Stock Fund may elect to have any cash
dividends attributable to such investments— 

  

	 	(1)	retained in the Sonoco Stock Fund and reinvested in Company Stock; 

  

	 	(2)	paid directly in cash to such Member (or Beneficiary); or 

  

	 	(3)	paid to the Trustee and distributed by the Trustee in cash to such Member (or Beneficiary) no later than 90 days after the end of the Plan Year in which such dividends
are paid to the Trustee. 

 Any election by a Member or Beneficiary under this section 6.3(a) shall be made at a
time and manner prescribed by the Committee, but any procedures prescribed by the Committee shall meet regulatory guidance issued under Code section 404(k) and provide each Member and Beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to (A) make an election
before a dividend is paid or distributed to the Member or Beneficiary and (B) change his or her election at least annually. 
  

	(b)	Voting Rights. Each Member and Beneficiary may direct the Trustee how to vote shares of Company Stock that are allocated to his or her Account. Full shares of
Company Stock shall be voted by the Trustee in accordance with any such directions. Fractional shares shall be combined and voted by the Trustee in a manner that reasonably reflects the voting directions of the Members and Beneficiaries whose
Accounts are credited with such fractional shares. The Trustee shall vote all shares of Company Stock for which it does not receive timely voting directions in the same proportion as those shares for which timely voting directions were received.

 For voting purposes, each Member and Beneficiary shall be a named fiduciary with respect to the Company Stock
that is allocated to his or her Account. Voting directions from Members and Beneficiaries shall be made at a time and in a manner prescribed by the Committee, and any procedures established by the Committee for this purpose shall require the Trustee
to hold voting directions from Members and Beneficiaries in strict confidence. The Committee shall provide the Trustee and each Member and Beneficiary with proxy materials and other information that is identical to that provided to other
shareholders. 

  
 39 

	(c)	Tender Offers. In the event of a tender offer to acquire Company Stock, the Trustee will provide to each Member and Beneficiary who has a portion of their
Accounts invested in the Sonoco Stock Fund with— 

  

	 	(1)	information and material related to such offer; and 

  

	 	(2)	a form on which each such Member and Beneficiary can confidentially instruct the Trustee whether to tender the Company Stock allocated to his or her Account.

 For Company Stock allocated to Accounts for which no timely tender instructions are received by Members or
Beneficiaries, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the directions given with respect to the majority of the shares of Company Stock for which timely directions were provided to the Trustee by Members and Beneficiaries. 

For purposes of any tender offer, each Member and Beneficiary shall be a named fiduciary with respect to the Company Stock that is
allocated to his or her Account. 
 6.4 Plan Expenses 
  

	(a)	Investment Fees. Except to the extent paid by an Employer in its sole discretion, expenses attributable to the management and investment of each of the Funds
shall be charged against the respective Fund. 

  

	(b)	Administrative Expenses. Except to the extent paid by an Employer in its sole discretion, or except to the extent that fees for specific services (e.g.,
distributions or investment services) are assessed against the Account of specific Members (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), all fees paid to the Trustee for trustee services, all fees paid for recordkeeping services performed
by the Trustee or by any other third-party service provider, and any other costs or expenses described in section 11.2 shall be paid out of Trust Fund assets and charged against each Member’s Account in the same proportion as the
Member’s Account balance bears to the total balance of all Accounts. 

 6.5 Valuation; Allocation of Investment Earnings
and Losses 
 Following the end of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall value all assets of the Trust Fund, allocate net gains or losses,
and process additions to and withdrawals from Accounts in the following manner: 
  

	(a)	The Trustee shall first compute the fair market value of securities and any other assets comprising each Fund. Each Account shall be adjusted each Valuation Date by
applying the closing market price of the Fund on the current Valuation Date to the share/unit balance of the Fund as of the close of business on the current Valuation Date. 

  
 40 

	(b)	The Trustee shall then account for any request for additions or withdrawals made to or from a specific designated Fund by any Member, including allocations of
contributions. In completing the valuation procedure described above, such adjustments in the amount credited to such Accounts shall be made on the Valuation Date to which the investment activity relates. Contributions received by the Trustee
pursuant to this Plan shall not be taken into account until the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date when the contribution was both actually paid to the Trustee and allocated among the Accounts of Members.

 It is intended that this section 6.5 shall operate to distribute among each Account in the Trust Fund all income of the Trust
Fund and changes in the value of the assets of the Trust Fund. 
 6.6 Compliance with ERISA Section 404(c) 

The Plan is intended to constitute a plan that satisfies the requirements of ERISA section 404(c) and, as such, the Plan fiduciaries shall be
relieved of liability for losses that may result from a Member’s or Beneficiary’s investment instructions. To the extent that any one Fund does not satisfy the requirements of ERISA section 404(c), the protections thereunder shall continue
to apply to all other Funds which otherwise satisfy these requirements. The Committee and Investment Council shall provide all information and take all other steps they deem necessary and appropriate to comply with the requirements of ERISA section
404(c).

subject to a different vesting schedule under section 7.2(b) or 7.4, the Matching Contributions and/or Collectively-Bargained Nonelective Employer Contributions made prior to any such transfer shall continue to be subject to the vesting schedule
that applied to such contributions before the date of the Member’s transfer. 

  
 46 

 Article 8. Distributions 
 8.1 Entitlement to Distribution upon Death of Member 
  

	(a)	Death of Member. If a Member dies before the complete distribution of the Vested Balance of his or her Account, the Beneficiary designated by the Member shall be
entitled to receive the remaining portion of the Vested Balance of such Account in the form described in section 8.3(b), and as of the Valuation Date provided in section 8.4(b). 

 

	(b)	Designation of Beneficiary. 

  

	 	(1)	General Rule. Each Member may designate one or more persons as Beneficiary to receive the remaining portion of the Vested Balance of the Member’s Account in
the event of his or her death. Each such designation shall be effective only when filed in writing at a time and in a manner specified by the Committee, and shall revoke all prior designations, subject to the provisions of section 8.1(b)(2).

  

	 	(2)	Rule for Surviving Spouses. A Spouse to whom the Member was married on the date of his or her death shall be the Member’s sole Beneficiary unless, prior to
the Member’s death, one or more other persons have been named pursuant to a qualified alternate designation (as defined in section 8.1(b)(3)) made and filed prior to the Member’s death in accordance with procedures prescribed by the
Committee. The consent of a Member’s Spouse shall not be required where— 

  

	 	(A)	the Committee determines that the required consent cannot be obtained because there is no Spouse or the Member’s Spouse cannot be located;

  

	 	(B)	the Committee determines that the Member is legally separated; 

  

	 	(C)	the Committee determines that the Member has been abandoned within the meaning of local law and there is a court order to that effect; or 

 

	 	(D)	there exists any other circumstance (as determined by the Committee) prescribed by law as an exception to the consent requirement. 

 

	 	(3)	Qualified Alternate Designation. A designation shall be a qualified alternate designation only if— 

 

	 	(A)	the Member, in a signed written instrument, designates by name one or more persons to be Beneficiary in lieu of, or along with, the Member’s surviving Spouse;

  
 47 

	 	(B)	the Member’s surviving Spouse (if any), determined at the time of the Member’s death, has consented in writing to the naming of such Beneficiary and has
acknowledged the effect of such consent; and 

  

	 	(C)	such consent is witnessed by a notary public or a Plan representative. 

 A qualified alternate designation may not be changed without spousal consent. Any spousal consent to a qualified alternate designation shall be irrevocable. 

 

	 	(4)	Default Beneficiary. If no person is otherwise designated under this subsection, if a designation is revoked in whole or in part, or if no designated Beneficiary
survives the Member, benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Member’s surviving Spouse, or if there is no surviving Spouse, to the Member’s estate. 

If any payment is made under the Plan to any Beneficiary in reasonable reliance on (A) a written attestation by the Member of
unmarried status, (B) a spousal consent that on its face conformed to the requirements set forth above, or (C) evidence establishing to the Committee’s satisfaction that a Member’s Spouse could not be located at the time of a
Beneficiary designation, the Plan’s liability for death benefits shall be satisfied to the extent of such payment, and the Plan shall have no liability to any Spouse to such extent. 

 

	 	(5)	Death of Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary who is entitled to receive payments from the Trust Fund dies before receiving all payments due, any remaining benefit
shall be paid to the Beneficiary’s estate in a lump sum. 

 8.2 Distribution upon Separation from Service for Reasons
Other Than Death 
 Upon a Member’s Separation from Service (as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)) for reasons other than death, such Member
shall be entitled to the Vested Balance of his or her Account in the form described in section 8.3(a) (or 8.5, if applicable), and as of the Valuation Date provided in section 8.4(a) (or 8.5, if applicable). 

8.3 Form of Benefit Payments 
 The forms
of payment described in this section 8.3 are subject to the restrictions contained in sections 8.4(c) and 8.6. 
  

	(a)	Distribution upon Separation from Service. Except as otherwise provided in section 8.5 (regarding special distribution provisions that apply to the Tuscarora
Money Purchase Pension Plan Account), a Member who is entitled to a distribution under section 8.2 may elect to receive his or her Account— 

  

	 	(1)	in a lump sum payment; 

  
 48 

	 	(2)	in up to five substantially equal annual installments (as elected by the Member or the Beneficiary), with each installment payment equal to the Vested Balance of the
Account as of the payment date divided by the remaining number of payments;

provisions that apply to the Tuscarora Money Purchase Pension Plan Account), distribution to a Member may commence as of the earliest practicable Valuation Date following the Member’s Separation from Service (as defined in
section 3.1(e)(2)), or any later Valuation Date (but not later than the Member’s latest allowable commencement date under section 8.7(a)), as the Member may request. A Member requesting a distribution must file such request at a time
and in the manner specified by the Committee. 

  

	(b)	Distribution Upon Death. Except as otherwise provided in section 8.4(c) (regarding the distribution of small balances), a distribution to a Beneficiary

made in a single sum payment as soon as practicable following such Valuation Date. 

 If a Member becomes entitled
to an automatic cashout under this section 8.4(c) in excess of $1,000, and the Member does not elect a direct distribution or a qualified rollover, the Committee shall arrange for a rollover distribution to an individual retirement plan in the name
of the Member. If no such plan exists at the time of the rollover distribution, the Committee shall establish an individual retirement plan for the benefit of the Member. (In all other cases, an automatic cashout shall be distributed directly to the
Member or Beneficiary, as applicable).

Member is furnished with an explanation of the material features of the optional payment form within the notice period described in section 8.5(a)(5). 
  

	 	(5)	Notice and Explanation to Members. Except as otherwise provided in this section 8.5(a)(5), the Committee shall provide to each Member who has a balance in the

benefits must commence more than seven days after the explanation was provided.

 53 

	 	(B)	Form of Payment.

	 	(II)	the Committee determines that the Member is legally separated; 

  

	 	(III)	the Committee determines that the Member has been abandoned within the meaning of local law and there is a court order to that effect; or

participation. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Member terminates employment before age 35, the notice
shall be provided within one year following the Member’s termination. If a Member again becomes an Employee of the Employer before age 35, the Committee must again provide this notice within the period described in section
8.5(b)(1)(F)(ii)(I) or (II), whichever ends later. In no event shall the Committee be required to provide notice to a Member who has no vested benefit under the Plan after the Member has terminated employment with the Employer. 

 

	 	(2)	Death after the Annuity Starting Date. If distribution of the Member’s Tuscarora Money Purchase Pension Plan Account has commenced to the Member in the form

includible in gross income); (ii) an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a); or (iii) an individual retirement annuity (other than an endowment contract) described in Code section 408(b). 

In addition, a portion of a distribution from a Member’s Roth Contributions Account or Roth Rollover Contributions Account does not
fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion is not includible in the distributee’s gross income (determined without regard to the rollover). However, such portion may only be transferred to a Roth IRA or directly
transferred to a designated Roth account under a Code section 401(a) plan or a Code section 403(b) plan that agrees to account separately for the amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is
includible in gross income and the portion such distribution that is not so includible.

	 	(B)	an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b); 

 

	 	(C)	an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a); 

  

	 	(D)	a qualified trust described in Code section 401(a); 

  

	 	(E)	an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); 

  

	 	(F)	an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or

	 	(G)	an individual retirement arrangement described in Code section 408A. 

  

	 	(3)	Distributee means a Participant or former Participant. In addition, the Participant’s or former Participant’s surviving Spouse and the
Participant’s or former Participant’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)) are distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or
former Spouse. 

 In addition, a non-Spouse Beneficiary may elect, at a time and in a manner prescribed by the
Committee, to have any portion of a distribution from the Plan paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the non-Spouse Beneficiary in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. However, in the case of any such distribution to a
non-Spouse Beneficiary, an eligible retirement plan shall mean an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b). 

 

	 	(4)	Direct rollover means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 

8.9 Rehired Member 
 In the event that a
Member who has had a Separation from Service (as defined in section 3.1(e)(2)) is rehired by the Company or an Affiliate before having received a complete distribution of the Vested Balance of his or her Account, further distribution of the
Member’s Account shall be suspended, and the undistributed balance shall continue to be held in the Account until the Member is again entitled to a distribution under this Article 8. 

  
 62 

 8.10 Distributions on Account of Military Service 

A Member who is performing service in the uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 of title 38 of the U.S. Code) for a period of more than 30 days
shall be treated has having severed from employment under Code section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) during such period of service and may elect to receive all or part of his or her Before-Tax Contributions Account and Roth Contributions Account in a lump sum
payment. If a Member elects to receive a distribution pursuant to this section 8.10, the Member shall be prohibited from making any contributions to the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Affiliates for six months after the
date of the distribution. 

  
 63 

 Article 9. Loans to Members 
 9.1 Committee Authorized to Make Loans 
 Upon application of a Member who is in active
employment with the Company or an Affiliate, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make a cash loan to the Member from the Vested Balance of his or her Account (excluding the portion of such Account that is attributable to the Member’s
Retirement Contributions Account and Tuscarora Money Purchase Pension Plan Account). Whether these loans are made, as well as their amounts and terms, shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee, subject to the provisions of this Article.

 (Loans shall also be available on a reasonably equivalent basis to a Member or a Beneficiary who is a “party in interest” (as
defined in ERISA section 3(14)).) 
 9.2 Amount of Loans 
  

	(a)	Maximum Amount. The maximum amount of any loan permitted under this Article (when added to the outstanding loan balance of all loans to the Member under this
Plan and any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) shall be the lesser of— 

  

	 	(1)	$50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of— 

  

	 	(A)	the highest outstanding balance of loans from this Plan or any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate during the one-year period
ending on the day before the loan was made; over 

  

	 	(B)	the outstanding balance of loans from this Plan and any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate on the date the loan is made; or

  

	 	(2)	50 percent of the Member’s Vested Balance at the relevant time. 

  

	(b)	Minimum Amount. The minimum amount of any loan made under this Article shall be $1,000. 

 

	(c)	Collateral. A portion of the Member’s Account equal to the amount of the loan shall be used as collateral to secure the loan. 

 

	(d)	Number of Loans. A Member may have up to two general purpose loans, or one general purpose loan and one residential loan, outstanding from this Plan at any one
time. 

  
 64 

 9.3 Interest 
 Each loan made under the Plan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest established by the Committee in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner on the basis of rates currently charged by commercial lenders
for loans made in similar circumstances. 
 9.4 Term 
 A loan shall be for the term (in whole month increments) requested by the Member or Beneficiary, but shall not exceed five years (or 20 years, in the case of a loan for the acquisition of the
Member’s principal residence). 
 9.5 Repayment 
  

	(a)	Equal Installments. Loans shall be repaid in equal installments, one per payroll period, representing a combination of interest and principal sufficient to
amortize the loan during its term (plus any reasonable processing fees, as determined by the Committee). 

  

	(b)	Active Members. Payments by active Members shall be made each payroll period through payroll withholding. If the payroll period for an active Member changes, the
loan installments determined under section 9.5(a) shall be adjusted to reflect the change. 

  

	(c)	Inactive Members and Beneficiaries. A Member who has an outstanding loan upon his or her Separation from Service may continue making payments on a monthly basis
by an automatic debit to such Member’s personal bank account. 

  

	(d)	Prepayment. Prepayments of the entire loan balance in a manner acceptable to the Trustee may be made without penalty. Partial prepayments are not allowed.

  

	(e)	Default. If a Member fails to make an installment payment required by this section by 90 days after the date on which such installment is first due, the loan may
be declared in default and shall then become immediately due and payable in full. If the Member does not then repay the full loan balance, his or her Account shall be offset by the unpaid loan balance at the earliest time permitted by law.

  

	(f)	Suspension of Payments during Military Leave. Each Member may elect to suspend his or her loan repayments while on unpaid military leave covered under the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. In such event, the loan term will be extended by the length of the suspension and interest will not accrue during the period of the leave. 

9.6 Loans Treated as Plan Investments 
  

	(a)	 Charge to Accounts and Funds. Loan proceeds distributed to a Member shall be charged on a pro rata basis against the various subaccounts from
which a loan is permitted under section 9.1. Additionally, loan proceeds distributed to the Member 

  
 65 

	 	
shall be charged, on a pro rata basis, to each Fund in which the affected subaccount is invested. The amount distributed to a Member shall be equal to the face value of the loan less any
origination or other fee assessed in connection with making the loan. 

  

	(b)	Loan Fund. A promissory note equal to the face value of the loan shall then be credited as an asset of an individual loan fund established in the Member’s
name. The value of a Member’s Account shall include the amount of principal and accrued interest remaining to be paid under this note. 

  

	(c)	Credit to Accounts and Funds. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of loan repayments, the Trustee shall credit principal and interest repayments
to the subaccounts of the Member’s Account from which the loan was initially withdrawn on a pro rata basis. The amount of the loan repayment (including principal and interest) shall be invested in the Funds in accordance with the investment
election last submitted by the Member or Beneficiary under Article 6. 

 9.7 Documents 

No loan under this Article shall be made until the Member or Beneficiary has— 

 

	(a)	completed a loan application setting forth any information the Committee deems appropriate; 

 

	(b)	agreed to a promissory note designating the Trustee as payee and stating the amount, term, repayment schedule, interest rate, and other terms and conditions consistent
with this Article; 

  

	(c)	authorized and directed that the Employer shall withhold each payroll period, and remit to the Trustee, the installment amounts determined under section 9.5(a);
and 

  

	(d)	granted a conditional security interest in the Member’s Account to the Trustee as security for repayment of the loan. 

All such steps shall be completed by submitting the appropriate forms or as otherwise directed by the Committee. 

  
 66 

 Article 10. Amendment and Termination 
 10.1 Amendment and Termination 
 The Company expects the Plan to be permanent, but the
Company must necessarily and does hereby reserve the right to amend or modify in any respect, or to terminate, the Plan at any time, for any reason whatsoever, by written resolution of the Company’s Board. Any such amendments to the Plan may be
made retroactively if necessary or appropriate to maintain the Plan as a plan meeting the requirements of Code section 401(a). 
 In
addition, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt in writing any amendment that is not expected to significantly alter the Plan’s contribution provisions or increase its expense. 
 No amendment of the Plan shall cause any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Members or their Beneficiaries. No plan amendment may
decrease the accrued benefit of any Member. Retroactive plan amendments may not decrease the accrued benefit of any Member determined as of the time the amendment was adopted. 
 No amendment may eliminate or reduce an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy (as defined in Treasury regulations), or eliminate an optional form of benefit with respect to benefits
attributable to service before the amendment, except as permitted under Code section 411(d)(6). 
 10.2 Vesting on Termination or
Partial Termination 
 Upon a complete or partial termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.411(d)-2), no further contributions shall be made under the Plan on behalf of affected Members; the Account of each Member (or, in the case of a partial termination, each affected Member within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.411(d)-2) shall fully vest; and the Accounts of any affected Members shall be distributed at the time and in the manner specified in Article 8. 

10.3 Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer 

In the case of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or any transfer of assets and liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, provision shall be
made so that each Member would, if the Plan were then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit the Member would have been entitled to receive immediately
before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then been terminated. 

  
 67 

 Article 11. Administration 
 11.1 Plan Administrator and Fiduciary 
  

	(a)	Plan Administrator. The general administration of the Plan shall be carried out by the Committee, which shall act as the “plan administrator” within
the meaning of Title I of ERISA. 

 The Committee shall consist of at least three, but no more than seven,
individuals who will serve as members of the Committee by virtue of their job titles, as specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. A Committee member will lose his or her status as such when he or she ceases to hold the job title by virtue of
which he or she is a member. In addition, a Committee member may resign at any time by written resignation from his or her job title, submitted to the Company and the Committee. The successor to such job title will then become the successor
Committee member. 
  

	(b)	Fiduciaries. Plan fiduciaries will have the powers and duties described in this section 11.1(b), and may delegate such duties to the extent permitted under ERISA
section 402. 

  

	 	(1)	The Board. The fiduciary duties of Board members are limited to the adoption of resolutions indicating (i) which Employees (by job title) will serve as
members of the Committee; and (ii) which Employees (by job title) will serve as members of the Investment Council. 

  

	 	(2)	The Employers. The fiduciary duties of the Company and other Employers hereunder are limited to (i) making contributions to the Plan in the amounts
determined by the Committee; and (ii) executing documents by which the Plan is governed. 

  

	 	(3)	The Trustee. The fiduciary duties of the Trustee are those enumerated in the Trust Agreement. 

 

	 	(4)	The Investment Council. The Investment Council shall consist of at least three, but no more than seven, individuals who will serve as members of the Investment
Council by virtue of their job titles, as specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. An Investment Council member will lose his or her status as such when he or she ceases to hold the job title by virtue of which he or she is a member. In
addition, a member of the Investment Council may resign at any time by written resignation from his or her job title, submitted to the Company and the Investment Council. The successor to such job title will then become the successor Investment
Council. 

  
 68 

 The Investment Council has primary responsibility for the investment of Plan assets
including (i) the power to select and remove the Trustee; (ii) the power to select and remove investment managers (and to determine how Plan assets will be allocated among the Trustee and any such investment managers); (iii) the
obligation to maintain a written investment policy; (iv) the obligation to determine which Funds will be available under the Plan (to the extent that this responsibility is not delegated to the Trustee or one or more investment managers); and
(v) the obligation to evaluate the performance of investment managers and Funds. 
  

	 	(5)	The Committee. The Committee shall have the duties described in sections 11.6 through 11.10. 

11.2 Specialists and Expenses 
  

	(a)	The Committee and/or Investment Council may employ any counsel, auditors, and other specialists, and obtain any clerical, actuarial, and other services, and purchase
products which are appropriate and helpful in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. Except to the extent paid by the Company or an Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion, these fees and expenses shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

  

	(b)	The Company or an Affiliate may initially pay any expense that normally would be a charge on the Trust Fund and later obtain reimbursement from the Trust Fund.

  

	 	(1)	This even applies in cases where at the time of the initial payment of the expense, it is not clear that the Company or Affiliate may lawfully seek reimbursement from
the Trust Fund, but such legal right to reimbursement is later clarified. 

  

	 	(2)	It is specifically anticipated that there may be situations, such as litigation, where the Company or an Affiliate might choose to bear costs initially, but later
obtain reimbursement many years after the costs were incurred. Such delayed reimbursements shall be permissible. 

  

	(c)	Each member of the Committee and Investment Council who is also a full-time Employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall not receive additional compensation for his or
her services as a member of the Committee or Investment Council. Any other member of the Committee or Investment Council may receive compensation for services as a member, to be paid from the Trust Fund to the extent not paid by the Company or an
Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion. Any member of the Committee or Investment Council may also receive reimbursement from the Trust Fund to the extent not paid by the Company or an Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion for
expenses properly and actually incurred.

necessary for the administration of the Plan, shall be preserved in the custody of the Committee or Investment Council. 

  
 69 

 11.4 Manner of Action 
 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee and Investment Council may from time to time in its discretion establish rules for the conduct of their affairs and the exercise of the duties imposed upon
them under the Plan. 
 A majority of the members of the Committee or Investment Council at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. All resolutions adopted and other actions taken by the Committee or Investment Council shall be by a majority vote of their members taken either at a meeting or by polling all such members. 

The Committee or Investment Council may certify to the Trustee, by majority vote or action as provided for herein, the name of one member of the
Committee or Investment Council who is authorized to act on its behalf in its relationship with the Trustee. The Trustee is authorized to act pursuant to the written instructions of any member of the Committee or Investment Council so designated.

 11.5 Assistance 
 The
Committee and Investment Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may delegate any of its powers and duties under this Plan to one or more individuals or committees. In such a case, every reference herein to the Committee or Investment Council
shall be deemed to include such individuals as to matters within their jurisdiction. 
 The Committee and Investment Council shall also have the
authority and discretion to engage an administrative delegate who shall perform, without discretionary authority or control, administrative functions within the framework of policies, interpretations, rules, practices, and procedures made by the
Committee or Investment Council. 
 Any action made or taken by the administrative delegate may be appealed by an affected Member or Beneficiary
to the Committee in accordance with the claims review procedures provided in section 11.7. Any decisions that call for interpretations of Plan provisions not previously made by the Committee shall be made only by the Committee. The
administrative delegate shall not be considered a fiduciary with respect to the services it provides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrative delegate shall not be relieved of any liability to the Plan or an Employer, Member, or
Beneficiary arising from any action (or failure to act) that is judicially determined to result from the administrative delegate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 In addition, the Investment Council may, at its discretion, appoint one or more investment managers, each of whom will have full power and authority to manage, acquire, or dispose (or direct the Trustee
with respect to acquisition or disposition) of any Plan asset under its control. For purposes of this section, “investment manager” means any person, firm, or 

  
 70 

 
corporation who is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a bank, or an insurance company, and who (a) has the power to manage, acquire, or dispose
of Plan assets, and (b) acknowledges in writing his or her fiduciary responsibility to the Plan. 
 11.6 Administration 

The Committee shall have all powers necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Plan. It may, from time to time, establish rules for the
administration of the Plan and the transaction of the Plan’s business. 
 In making any determination or rule, the Committee shall pursue
uniform policies established by it. The Committee shall not discriminate in favor of or against any Member. The Committee shall have the exclusive right to make any finding of fact necessary or appropriate for any purpose under the Plan including,
but not limited to, the determination of the eligibility for and the amount of any benefit payable under the Plan. 
 The Committee shall have
the right to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan or in connection with the administration thereof, including, without limitation, the right to remedy or resolve possible
ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions, by general rule or particular decision. The Committee shall make, or cause to be made, all reports or other filings necessary to meet the reporting, disclosure, and other filing requirements of ERISA that
are the responsibility of “plan administrators” under ERISA. 
 To the extent permitted by law, all findings of fact, determinations,
interpretations, and decisions of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest or right under the Plan. 
 In carrying out its responsibilities hereunder, the Committee shall have the utmost discretion permitted by law. 
 11.7 Appeals from Denial of Claims 
 If any claim for benefits under the Plan is wholly or
partially denied, the claimant shall be given notice of the denial. This notice shall be in writing within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim by the Committee. This period will not exceed 90 days after receipt of the claim,
except that if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time, the period may be extended up to an additional 90 days. Written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to termination of
the initial 90-day period, and it shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the benefit determination is expected. 
 Notice of any claim denial shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall set forth the following information: 

  
 71 

	(a)	the specific reasons for the denial; 

  

	(b)	specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

  

	(c)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why this material or information is
necessary; 

  

	(d)	an explanation that a full and fair review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim may be requested by the claimant or his or her authorized representative
by filing with the Committee, within 60 days after the notice has been received, a written request for the review; and 

  

	(e)	a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse decision upon review. 

If a claimant files a written request for review of a denied claim, the claimant or his or her representative may request, free of charge, reasonable
access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim and may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim within the 60-day period specified in section 11.7(d). The
notice of claim denial shall include a statement of the claimant’s rights to review and submit information pursuant to this paragraph. 

The review by the Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the
claim without regard to whether such material was submitted or considered as part of the initial determination. The decision of the Committee upon review shall be made promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Committee’s receipt of the
request for review. However, if the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time, this period may be extended up to an additional 60 days. Written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to
termination of the initial 60-day period, and it shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the decision on review is expected. 
 If the claim is denied, wholly or in part, the claimant shall be given a copy of the decision promptly. The decision shall be in writing and shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant. The decision shall include specific reasons for the denial; specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a statement that the claimant may request, free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of
all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim; and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a). 
 11.8 Notice of Address and Missing Persons 
 Each person entitled to benefits under the Plan
must file with the Committee, in writing, his or her post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to such a person at his or her latest reported post office

  
 72 

 
address will be binding upon him or her for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee, the Company, Affiliates, or Trustee shall not be obliged to search for or ascertain such person’s
whereabouts. If a person cannot be located, the Committee may direct that his or her benefit and all further benefits with respect to such person shall be discontinued and all liability for the payment thereof shall terminate. However, in the event
of the subsequent reappearance of the Member or Beneficiary prior to termination of the Plan, the benefits that were due and payable shall be paid in a single sum, and the future benefits due such person shall be reinstated in full. 

11.9 Data and Information for Benefits 

All persons claiming benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Committee such documents, evidence, or information as the Committee considers necessary
or desirable to administer the Plan. Any such person must furnish this information promptly and sign any documents the Committee may require before any benefits become payable under the Plan. 
 11.10 Effect of a Mistake 
 In the event of a mistake or misstatement as to the eligibility,
participation, or service of any Member, or the amount of payments made or to be made to a Member or Beneficiary, the Committee shall, if possible, cause such payment amounts to be withheld, accelerated, or otherwise adjusted as will in its sole
judgment result in the Member or Beneficiary receiving the proper amount of payments under this Plan. Any such adjustments shall be made in accordance with the correction principles established by the Internal Revenue Service under the Employee
Plans Compliance Resolution System or other applicable guidance. 
 11.11 Indemnity for Liability 

To the extent permitted by law, the agents, representatives, directors, officers, and Employees of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company against
any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses (including counsel fees), and any other liability (including any amounts paid in settlement with the Company’s approval) arising from such individuals’ action or conduct relating to Plan
administration. The Company is not liable to indemnify these persons against such claims, losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities when the same is judicially determined to be attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company
shall pay the premiums on any bond secured under this section and shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other Employers for their proportionate share. 

  
 73 

 Article 12. Trust Arrangements 
 12.1 Appointment of Trustee

in its sole discretion, and shall not revert to or inure to the benefit of an Employer, except as provided in section 12.5. 
 12.5

 Article 13. Top-Heavy Plan Provisions 
 13.1Top-Heavy Determination 
 The top-heavy provisions of this Article shall be applied as

balances of Key Employees under the Plan exceeds 60 percent of the aggregate amount of the Account balances of all Employees (other than former Key Employees) under the Plan, the Plan will be top-heavy, and the provisions of this Article shall
become applicable. For the purposes of this Article— 

  

	 	(1)	Account balances shall include the aggregate amount of any distributions made with respect to the Employee during the five-year period (or one-year period for
distributions made on account of severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on the Applicable Determination Date and any contribution due but unpaid as of said Applicable Determination Date; and 

 

	 	(2)	the Account balance of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer or the Affiliates at any time during the one-year period ending on the Applicable
Determination Date shall not be taken into account.

	(b)	Aggregation Group Determination. 

  

	 	(1)	If as of the Applicable Determination Date the Plan is a member of a Required Aggregation Group which is top-heavy, the provisions of this Article shall become
applicable. For purposes of this section 13.1(b), an Aggregation Group shall be top-heavy, as of the Applicable Determination Date, if the sum of— 

  

	 	(A)	the aggregate amount of account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in such group, and 

 

	 	(B)	the present value of accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in such group 

exceeds 60 percent of the same amounts determined for all Employees (other than former Key Employees) under all plans included within the
Aggregation Group. Account balances and accrued benefits shall be adjusted for any distribution made in the five-year period (or one-year period for distributions made on account of severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on

  
 75 

 
the Applicable Determination Date and any contribution due but unpaid as of the Applicable Determination Date. The account balance of any individual who has not performed services for the
Employer or the Affiliates at any time during the one-year period ending on the Applicable Determination Date shall not be taken into account. The determination of the foregoing ratio, including the extent to which distributions (including
distributions from terminated plans), rollovers, and transfers are taken into account, shall be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. 
  

	 	(2)	If the Plan is top-heavy under section 13.1(a) above, but the Aggregation Group is not top-heavy, this Article shall not be applicable. 

 

	(c)	The Committee. The Committee shall have responsibility to make all calculations to determine whether the Plan is top-heavy. 

13.2 Definitions 
 For purposes of this
Article, the following definitions apply.

	 	(2)	Permissive Aggregation Group. One or more plans maintained by the Company and Affiliates, which are not required to be aggregated, may be aggregated with each
other or with plans under section 13.2(a)(1) if such group would continue to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410 with such plan(s) being taken into account. 

 

	(b)	Applicable Determination Date shall mean, with respect to the Plan, the Determination Date for the Plan Year of reference and, with respect to any other plan,
the Determination Date for any plan year of such plan which falls within such calendar year as the Applicable Determination Date of the Plan.

be a “non-key Employee” for purposes of applying this Article 13. 
  

	(e)	Compensation means, for all purposes under this Article 13, an Employee’s “Compensation” as determined under section 2.13(b). In no event
shall an Employee’s Compensation under this Article 13 exceed the limit described in section 2.13(f). 

 13.3
Vesting Requirements 
 If the Plan is determined to be top-heavy with respect to a Plan Year, then a Member’s interest in his or her
Account shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

					
	 Years of Vesting Service
	  	Vested Percentage	 
	 Fewer than 1
	  	 	0	% 
	 1 but fewer than 2
	  	 	20	% 
	 2 but fewer than 3
	  	 	40	% 
	 3 or more
	  	 	100	% 

 If in a subsequent Plan Year, the Plan is no longer top-heavy, the vesting provisions that were in effect prior to the
time the Plan became top-heavy shall be reinstated. However, the Member’s Vested Percentage following such reinstatement (with respect to the Member’s Account both before and after the reinstatement) shall not be reduced below the
Member’s Vested Percentage immediately before such reinstatement. 
 13.4 Minimum Contribution 

For each Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is top-heavy, the minimum amount contributed by the Employer under the Plan for the benefit of each
Participant who is not a Key Employee and who is otherwise eligible for such a contribution shall be the lesser of— 
  

	(a)	3 percent of the non-key Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year, or 

  
 77 

	(b)	the non-key Participant’s Compensation times a percentage equal to the largest percentage of such Compensation allocated under such plan with respect to any Key
Employee for the Plan Year. 

 Matching Contributions allocated to Key Employees shall be treated as an allocation of
contributions by an Employer under this section 13.4. However, if Matching Contributions to non-key Employees are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirement under this section 13.4, these Matching Contributions shall not be
tested under section 5.8, and they must otherwise satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code section 401(a)(4). 
 This
minimum contribution is determined without regard to any Social Security contribution. This minimum contribution shall be made on behalf of each non-key Employee who has not separated from service before the end of the Plan Year, without regard to
whether the non-key Employee declines to make any mandatory contributions that may be required by the Plan. Contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement shall be taken into account only with respect to contributions made
on behalf of Key Employees. The minimum contribution provisions stated above shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Plan Year. 

This section 13.4 shall not apply to a Participant covered under a qualified defined benefit plan or a qualified defined contribution plan maintained by
the Company or an Affiliate if the Participant’s vested benefit thereunder satisfies the requirements of Code section 416(c). Amounts contributed under this section shall be credited to a Member’s Retirement Contributions Account.

 13.5 Union Employees 
 The
requirements of this Article 13 shall not apply with respect to any Employee included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement between Employee representatives and an Employer if retirement benefits were the subject of
good faith bargaining between such Employee representatives and the Employer. 

  
 78 

 Article 14. Participation in and Withdrawal from Plan by an Affiliate 

14.1 Participation in Plan 
 Any Affiliate
that desires to become an Employer hereunder may elect, with the consent of the Company, to become a party to the Plan by— 
  

	(a)	having its board of directors adopt the Plan for the benefit of its eligible Employees effective as of the date specified in the adoption resolution; and

  

	(b)	by filing with the Company a certified copy of such resolution, together with any other instruments that the Company may require. 

The Company shall then file with the Trustee a copy of the Affiliate’s adoption resolution, together with the Company’s written approval of the
adoption. 
 The adoption resolution may contain any specific changes and variations in Plan or Trust Agreement terms and provisions applicable
to the adopting Employer and its Employees that are acceptable to the Company and the Trustee. However, the sole, exclusive right of any other amendment to the Plan or Trust Agreement is reserved by the Company. The Company may not amend specific
changes and variations in the Plan or Trust Agreement terms and provisions as adopted by the Employer in its adoption resolution without the consent of the Employer. The adoption resolution shall become, as to the adopting organization and its
Employees, a part of this Plan and the related Trust Agreement. It shall not be necessary for the adopting organization to sign or execute the original or amended Plan and Trust Agreement documents. 

The effective date of the Plan for any adopting Affiliate shall be that stated in the resolution of adoption. From and after this effective date, the
adopting Affiliate shall assume all the rights, obligations, and liabilities of an individual Employer entity under the Plan and Trust Agreement. 
 The administrative powers and control of the Company, as provided in the Plan and Trust Agreement, including the sole right of amendment, and of appointment and removal of the Trustee, and its successors,
shall not be diminished by reason of the participation of any adopting Affiliate in the Plan. 
 14.2 Withdrawal from Plan 

Any Employer, by action of its board of directors or other governing authority, may withdraw from the Plan and Trust Agreement after giving 90 days’
notice to the Company, provided the Company consents to the withdrawal. Distribution may be implemented through continuation of the Trust Fund, or transfer to another trust fund exempt from tax under Code section 501, or to a group annuity
contract qualified under Code section 401, or distribution may be made as an immediate cash payment in accordance with the directions of the Committee. However, no action shall divert any part of the fund to any purpose other than the exclusive
benefit of the Employees of the Employer. Additionally, no such action shall be inconsistent with the requirements of Code sections 401(a). 

  
 79 

 Article 15. Miscellaneous 
 15.1 Incompetency 
 Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be
conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the Committee receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to it, that the person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian, conservator, or other person legally vested
with the care of his or her estate has been appointed. If the Committee finds that any person to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care properly for his or her affairs, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother, or a sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to
payment. 
 If a guardian or conservator of the estate of any person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan is appointed by a court of
competent jurisdiction, payments shall be made to such guardian or conservator if proper proof of the appointment is furnished in a form and manner suitable to the Committee. 
 To the extent permitted by law, any payment made under the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of liability under the Plan. 

15.2 Nonalienation of Benefits 
 Except
as provided in Code section 401(a)(13), no benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or encumbrance of any kind. Any attempt to
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber any such benefit, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. The Trust Fund under the Plan shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of
any Member or Beneficiary entitled to any benefit. 
 The preceding paragraph shall also apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a
right to any interest or benefit payable with respect to a Member pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless the order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)). The Committee shall
establish reasonable written procedures to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders. 
 15.3 No Guarantee of Employment 
 Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any
Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Company or an Affiliate or to interfere with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge or retire any Employee at any time. 

  
 80 

 15.4 Applicable Law 
 To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the Plan shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of South Carolina. 
 15.5 Severability 
 If a provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included in this Plan. 

15.6 Rights to Trust Assets 
 No Employee
or Beneficiary shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Trust Fund upon termination of employment or otherwise, except as specifically provided under the Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits payable under the Plan to
the Employee or Beneficiary out of the assets of the Trust Fund. All payments of benefits under this Plan shall be made solely out of assets of the Trust Fund, and the Employers, the Affiliates, or any fiduciary shall not be liable therefor in any
manner. 
 15.7 Military Service 

Effective December 12, 1994, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with
respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with the mandatory provisions of Code section 414(u). 
 15.8
Titles 
 The titles of sections are included only for convenience and shall not be construed as part of this Plan or in any respect
affecting or modifying its provisions.
