RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
The Company and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Base Indenture providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of the Company’s senior unsecured debt securities (herein and in the Base Indenture called the “Securities”), the forms and terms of which are to be determined as set forth in Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, and the guarantees thereof (the “Guarantees”) by the Guarantors.
Section 901 of the Base Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture for, among other things, the purposes of (a) establishing the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture and (b) adding to or changing any of the provisions to the Base Indenture in certain circumstances.

Issuance of Securities
Section 1.1    Issuance of Notes; Principal Amount; Maturity; Title.
(1)    On April 23, 2015, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate, the Initial Notes (as defined herein) substantially in the form set forth in Section 3.2 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture, and with such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Responsible Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by the execution of such Notes.
(2)    The Initial Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 and shall mature on April 30, 2023 (the “Stated Maturity”), unless the Notes are redeemed prior to that date as described in Section 5.1. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed $300,000,000, except for Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Company may without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes hereunder as part of the same series and on the same terms and conditions (and having the same Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Initial Notes, but such additional Notes may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual date or initial interest payment date (“Additional Notes”); provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes may not have the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes; provided further that such Additional Notes issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act may initially be issued under a temporary CUSIP during the applicable Restricted Period.
(3)    The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(4)    Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates a series of Securities designated as the “5.00% Senior Notes due 2023” of the Company (as amended or supplemented from time to time, that are issued under the Indenture, including both the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes, if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture.
Section 1.2    Interest.

-2-

EX_4.2

(1)    Interest on a Note will accrue at the per annum rate of 5.00%, from and including the date specified on the face of such Note to, but excluding, the date on which the principal thereof is paid, deemed paid or made available for payment and, in each case, will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
(2)    The Company shall pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing October 30, 2015.
(3)    Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of the Notes after the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined herein).
(4)    Amounts due on the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date of the Notes will be payable at the Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest or the Change of Control Payment (as defined herein) in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein) in respect of the Notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately available funds, while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants in effect from time to time. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that the Company shall be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for the Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a Note. However, the Company may require Holders of the Notes to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of Notes.
(5)    If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Change of Control Payment Date (as defined herein) falls on a day that is not a Business Day in the City of New York or in the Place of Payment, the Company shall make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or Change of Control Payment in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Change of Control Payment Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.3    No Sinking Fund.
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under Section 6.2 hereof. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.
Section 1.4    Relationship with Base Indenture.
The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent any provision 

-3-

EX_4.2

of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.
ARTICLE II     
 
Definitions and Other Provisions of General Application
Section 2.1    Definitions.
For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this First Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires):
(6)    any reference to an “Article” or a “Section” refers to an Article or a Section, as the case may be, of this First Supplemental Indenture;
(7)    the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this First Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;
(8)    “including” means including without limitation;
(9)    unless otherwise provided, references to agreements and other instruments shall be deemed to include all amendments and other modifications to such agreements and instruments, but only to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.

All other terms used in this First Supplemental Indenture that are defined in the Base Indenture, either directly or by reference therein (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this First Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires), have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Base Indenture, as in force at the date of this First Supplemental Indenture as originally executed; provided that any term that is defined in both the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this First Supplemental Indenture.

(1) Insert for Global Securities only
Section 3.3    Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.
(1)    The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture and in the Global Security) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.  A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security to another Global Security shall deliver to the Security Registrar a duly completed Assignment Form in the form attached to the Global Security, any applicable certifications or opinions required by the Assignment Form and a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security.  The Security Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.
(2)    If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an initial purchaser of the Notes).
(3)    If the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale after the date that is one year (in the case of a Note sold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or 40 days (in the case of a Note sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act) after the later of the Issue Date and the last date the Company or any of its affiliates was the owner of such Note or any predecessor of such Note pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information and that the applicable legend in either the first or second paragraph of Section 3.2 hereto (a “Restricted Legend”) is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that 

-26-

EX_4.2

subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note in any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee, upon (i) receipt of an Authentication Order and the documents required by Section 102 of the Base Indenture and (ii) in the case of Global Securities, compliance by the Company with DTC’s applicable procedures relating to the exchange and/or issuance of such new Note, will comply with such instruction.

Remedies
Section 4.1    Events of Default.
“Event of Default” means, wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1)    an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501 of the Base Indenture; or
(2)    the Company’s failure to pay the Change of Control Payment when due in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event.
Section 4.2    Waiver of Past Defaults.
Section 512 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 512 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 4.2.
Subject to Section 502 of the Base Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, upon notice to the Company and the Trustee, waive any past Default hereunder with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default:
(4)    in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note or the Change of Control Payment in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event; or
(5)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or of the Base Indenture which under Article VII hereof or under Article IX of the Base Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this First Supplemental 

-27-

EX_4.2

Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

On or after January 30, 2023, the Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, redeem all or any portion of the Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice sent to registered Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

	(4)
	Liens in favor of the Company or any Guarantor;

		
	(5)

	(6)

	(10)
	Liens arising to secure (i) the performance of bids, trade contracts, governmental contracts and leases (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money), statutory obligations, surety, stay, customs and appeal bonds, performance bonds, performance and completion guarantees and other obligations of a like nature (including those to secure health, safety and environmental obligations) incurred in the ordinary course of business and (ii) obligations in respect of letters of credit or bank guarantees that have been posted to support payment of the items set forth in sub-clause (i) of this clause (10);

	Liens securing judgments for the payment of money not constituting an Event of Default.

In the event that a Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Liens (at the time of incurrence or at a later date), the Company in its sole discretion may divide, classify or from time to time reclassify all or any portion of such Lien in any manner that complies with this definition and such Lien shall be treated as having been made pursuant only to the clause or clauses of above to which such Lien has been classified or reclassified.  Provided, however, that Liens securing Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the date the Notes are first issued or any extension, renewal, replacement or refunding thereof will be deemed to be incurred on such date in reliance on the exception described in clause (1) above and the 

-30-

EX_4.2

Company shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of a Lien incurred pursuant to clause (1) above on the Issue Date.

The repurchase obligation with respect to any notice sent prior to the consummation of the Change of Control shall be conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.
(3)    The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
(4)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
		
	(A)
	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

		
	(B)
	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes accepted for payment; and

-31-

EX_4.2

		
	(C)
	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased.

(5)    The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes accepted for payment the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee, upon Authentication Order, shall promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(6)    The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
(7)    In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer as described above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Section 6.3    Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to enter into any arrangement with any person to lease a Principal Property (except for any arrangements that exist on the date the Notes are issued or that exist at the time any person that owns a Principal Property becomes a Subsidiary) which has been or is to be sold by the Company or the Subsidiary to such person unless:
(1)    the sale and leaseback arrangement involves a lease for a term of not more than three years;
(2)    the sale and leaseback arrangement is entered into between the Company and any Subsidiary or between the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(3)    the Company or the Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property, in an amount at least equal to any Attributable Indebtedness, pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof without having to secure equally and ratably the Notes; or
(4)    the proceeds of the sale and leaseback arrangement are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of the Principal Property and the Company applies within 180 days after the sale an amount equal to the greater 

-32-

EX_4.2

of the net proceeds of the sale or the Attributable Indebtedness associated with the Principal Property, if any, to (i) the retirement of long-term debt for borrowed money that is not subordinated to the Notes and that is not debt owed to the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the purchase or development of other property.
Section 6.4    SEC Reports.
(1)    Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC or (ii) make publicly available to the registered Holders of the Notes, within 15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:
		
	•
	all quarterly and annual information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified independent registered accounting firm; and

		
	•
	all current information that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

(2)    In addition, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed that they shall make available to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  For purposes of this Section 6.4, the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have furnished the reports to the Holders of Notes as required by this Section 6.4 if it has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system or such reports are publicly available.
(3)    To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently provided, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Section 4.1 hereof if Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total Outstanding Notes have declared the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-Outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

Alcoa Inc. (the “Company”) has established this 2005 Deferred Fee Plan for Directors (the “Plan”) to provide non-employee
directors with an opportunity to defer receipt of fees earned for services as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in 2005 and beyond.

ARTICLE III - DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION 

3.1 Amount of Deferral. Beginning January 1, 2005, until a Director owns beneficial shares of Alcoa common stock and/or has units
in the Alcoa Stock Fund with a value at least equal to the then applicable Director Share Ownership Guideline, the Director will be required to either defer at least the Required Deferral Amount in the Alcoa Stock Fund or use such amount to purchase
Alcoa common stock. Beyond that requirement, a Director may elect to defer receipt of all Fees, or of all Fees of one or more types, or a specified portion (in 1% increments) otherwise payable to him or her. 

3.2 Manner of Electing Deferral. A Director may elect, or modify a prior election, to defer the receipt of all or certain Fees by
giving written notice to the Secretary on a form provided by the Company, or in any other manner that is deemed sufficient from time to time by the Chairman. 

3.3 Annual Elections of Deferral. An election to defer Fees shall be made prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the Fees
will be earned; provided, however, that an election made within 30 days after a person first becomes a Director shall be effective for Fees earned during that year. An election shall continue in effect until the end of the year
following the date of the deferral election, or until the end of the Director’s service on the Board, whichever shall occur first. The election to defer receipt of payment may not be canceled or modified unless the Chairman, in his sole
discretion, determines that an Unforeseen Emergency exists, or except as otherwise permitted by Internal Revenue Service regulations. 
 3.4
Deferring Fees. A Director shall designate the portion of his or her deferred Fees to be invested in one or more of the Investment Options. Until the Director Share Ownership Guideline is satisfied, the Required Deferral Amount is required to
be deferred into the Alcoa Stock Fund or used to purchase Alcoa common stock. Any Director who has satisfied the Director Share Ownership Guideline or who wishes to defer funds other than the Required Deferral Amount may designate Investment Options
other than the 

  
 2 

  

 
Alcoa Stock Fund for those amounts. A Director’s deferred Fees shall be credited to the designated Investment Option(s) at the beginning of the calendar quarter following the quarter in
which such Fees were earned. Such Fees shall be credited to the Director’s Deferred Fee Account as Credits for “units” in the Director’s Deferred Fee Account. As of any specified date, the value per unit in the Director’s
Deferred Fee Account shall be deemed to be the value determined for the comparable fund under the Savings Plan. 
 3.5 Transfers. A
Director may elect to designate a different Investment Option for all or any portion of the Credits for units in the various Investment Options in his or her Deferred Fee Account, provided that, once the value of the Credits in the Alcoa
Stock Fund equals the Director Share Ownership Guideline, Credits for at least that value must be maintained in the Alcoa Stock Fund for the duration of the Director’s service on the Board. Beginning six (6) months after termination of
Board service, and prior to a complete distribution of the Director’s Deferred Fee Account, the Director may transfer Credits in units in the Alcoa Stock Fund to other Investment Options to the same extent and frequency as a participant in the
Savings Plan. A written election on a form provided by the Company for transfer of investments into or out of any Investment Option other than the Alcoa Stock Fund must be received by the Secretary prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the business day
when it is to become effective. Transfer of investments into or out of the Alcoa Stock Fund must be received by 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the business day it is to become effective. Such transfers into or out of the Alcoa Stock Fund can be
accomplished only once every fifteen (15) days. In addition, such transfers shall be subject to reasonable administrative minimums, and any restrictions recommended by counsel to ensure compliance with applicable law. 

3.6 Method of Payment. 
  

	 	(a)	All payments with respect to a Director’s Deferred Fee Account shall be made in cash, and no Director shall have the right to demand payment in shares of Alcoa common stock or in any other medium.

  

	 	(b)	Payments shall be made in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following six (6) months after the conclusion of the Director’s service on the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Director can
elect (at the time of making his or her annual deferral designation under Section 3.3) to receive the deferred Fees in up to ten (10) annual installments. The first such installment payment shall occur during the sixth month following the
conclusion of the Director’s service on the Board, or during the first month of the calendar year following the conclusion of the Director’s service on the Board, whichever occurs later. 

 

	 	(c)	A Director may make an election to receive deferred Fees in up to ten (10) annual installments or a lump sum payment, provided that if such election is made by a Director to change the manner of payment of
the Credits in such Director’s Deferred Fee Account and not with respect to the annual deferral designation made for Fees to be earned in an upcoming year, such payment election change (i) must be made at least twelve (12) months
before the Director’s service on the Board ends, (ii) will be effective twelve (12) months following the date of the payment election change, and (iii) will result in a delay of payment of such deferred Fees until the later of
(x) five (5) years from the date of the payment election change and (y) the end of the Director’s service on the Board. A payment election change is irrevocable upon receipt unless a Director makes a subsequent payment election
change, in which case such subsequent payment election change shall be subject to the requirements of the foregoing clauses (i) to (iii).

 ARTICLE IV - BENEFICIARIES 

4.1 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Director may designate from time to time one or more natural persons or entities as his or her
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom the amounts credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account are to be paid if he or she dies before all such amounts have been paid to the Director. Each Beneficiary designation shall be made on a form prescribed by
the Company and shall be effective only when filed with the Secretary during the Director’s lifetime. Each Beneficiary designation filed with the Secretary shall revoke all Beneficiary designations previously made. The revocation of a
Beneficiary designation shall not require the consent of any Beneficiary. In the absence of an effective Beneficiary designation, or if payment can be made to no Beneficiary, payment shall be made to the Director’s estate. 

ARTICLE V - PAYMENTS 
 5.1 Payment of
Deferred Fees. No payment may be made from a Director’s Deferred Fee Account except as provided in this Article, unless an Unforeseen Emergency exists as determined by the Chairman in his sole discretion. If an Unforeseen Emergency is
determined by the Chairman to exist, the Chairman shall determine when and to what extent Credits in the Director’s Deferred Fee Account may be paid to such Director prior to or after the Director’s service on the Board; provided,
however, that the amounts distributed in connection with such an emergency cannot exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy the emergency plus what is necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking
into account the extent to which the hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Director’s assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe
financial hardship.). 
 5.2. Payment upon Termination of Service on the Board. The value of a Director’s Deferred Fee Account,
determined in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.4, shall be payable in cash in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following six (6) months after the Director’s service on the Board ends, or if elected in
advance by the Director under Section 3.6 hereof, in annual installments. If installments had been elected, the amount of each payment shall be a fraction of the value of the Director’s Deferred Fee Account designated by the Director for
installment payments and in such account on the last day of the calendar month preceding payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected minus the number of installments previously
paid. The first installment payment shall be made as provided in the last sentence of Section 3.6(b), and all subsequent installment payments shall be made during the first month of each succeeding year until said account is exhausted, except
as provided in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3. 
 5.3 Payment upon a Director’s Death. If a Director dies with any amount
credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account, the value of said account shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable in a single payment to the Beneficiary (or in several payments to the Beneficiaries if more than one were named by the
Director) or to the Director’s estate, as the case may be. 
 ARTICLE VI - MISCELLANEOUS 

6.1 Director’s Rights Unsecured. Payments payable hereunder shall be payable out of the general assets of the Company, and no
segregation of assets for such payments shall be made by the Company. The right of any Director or Beneficiary to receive payments from a Deferred Fee Account shall be a claim against the general assets of the Company as an unsecured general
creditor. The Company may, in its absolute discretion, establish one or more trusts or reserves, which may be funded by reference to amounts of Credits standing in the Director’s Deferred Fee Accounts hereunder or otherwise. Any such trust or
reserve shall remain subject to the claims of creditors of the Company. If any amounts held in a trust of the above described nature are found (due to the creation or operation of said trust) in a final decision by a court of

  
 4 

  

 
competent jurisdiction, or under a “determination” by the Internal Revenue Service in a closing agreement in audit or final refund disposition (within the meaning of
Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), to have been includable in the gross income of a Director or Beneficiary prior to payment of such amounts from said trust, the trustee for the trust shall, as soon as
practicable, pay to such Director or Beneficiary an amount equal to the amount determined to have been includable in gross income in such determination, and shall accordingly reduce the Director’s or Beneficiary’s future benefits payable
under this Plan. The trustee shall not make any distribution to a Director or Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph unless it has received a copy of the written determination described above, together with any legal opinion that it may request as
to the applicability thereof. 
 6.2 Responsibility for Taxes. The Director or Beneficiary is liable for any and all taxes that are
applicable to the amounts payable under the Plan, including any taxes deemed payable prior to payment out of the Plan. 
 6.3
Non-assignability. The right of any Director or Beneficiary to the payment of Credits in a Deferred Fee Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered and shall not be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation.

 6.4 Administration and Interpretation. The Plan shall be administered by the Secretary’s office. Questions of construction
and interpretation will be referred to the Chairman. The Chairman’s decision shall be final and binding. 
 6.5 Amendment and
Termination. The Plan may be amended, modified or terminated at any time by the Board. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Director, adversely affect such Director’s rights with respect to amounts
theretofore credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account or earlier effect the payment of Fees already deferred. 
 6.6 Notices. All
notices to the Company under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be given to the Secretary or to an agent or other person designated by the Secretary. 

6.7 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
excluding any choice of law provisions, which may indicate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
