EXHIBIT 4.4

Description of the Registrant’s Securities Registered Under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The following description is a summary of the material terms of the EPAM Systems, Inc. (referred to as “we,” “us,” and “our”) Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate”), Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), and applicable provisions of law. The summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, express reference to the provisions of our Certificate and Bylaws, each of which is filed as an exhibit to, or incorporated by reference in, the Annual Report on Form 10‐K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part.  Unless a different date is referenced elsewhere herein, this summary is effective as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10‐K with which this exhibit is filed or incorporated by reference.  
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 160,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.  Our common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Common Stock
The number of shares of common stock outstanding, the date that such number of shares were outstanding, and the stock exchange where our common stock is traded are set forth on the cover page of the Annual Report on Form 10‐K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part.  The number of stockholders of record is set forth in “Part II., Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of the Annual Report on Form 10‐K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part. 
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, except on matters relating solely to terms of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. 
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The name and address of our transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without further vote or action by the stockholders.
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. As of the date of Annual Report on Form 10‐K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our board of directors consists of not less than 3 directors, excluding any directors elected by holders of preferred stock pursuant to the resolution or resolutions adopted by the board pursuant to the issuance of preferred stock, if any. The exact number of directors will be fixed from time to time by resolution of the board. Our board of directors will be divided into three classes. The directors in each class will serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders. This system of electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of our directors. Our Certificate and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Limits on Written Consents
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be taken at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders.
Stockholder Meetings
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time only by the board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock.
Amendments to Our Governing Documents
Generally, the amendment of our Certificate requires approval by our board of directors and a majority vote of stockholders. However, certain material amendments (including amendments with respect to provisions governing board composition, actions by written consent, and special meetings) require the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the outstanding capital stock in the elections of our board of directors. Any amendment to our amended and restated bylaws requires the approval of either a majority of our board of directors or approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of our outstanding capital stock in elections of our board of directors.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers
Our Certificate provides that no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as required by applicable Delaware law. 
As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except as permitted by applicable Delaware law.
Our Certificate provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, we will indemnify any officer or director of our company against all damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director or officer. Amending this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.
Anti-takeover Effects of Some Provisions
Some provisions of our Certificate and Bylaws could make the following more difficult:
•acquisition of control of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise, or
•removal of our incumbent officers and directors.
These provisions, as well as our ability to issue preferred stock, are designed to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this increased protection outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Business Combination Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 generally prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, or any affiliate or associate of that person, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for three years after becoming an interested stockholder.  Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Unless another exception applies, an interested stockholder may engage in a business combination under the following conditions:
•the board of directors of the corporation had previously approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder;

•upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or
•following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.
Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors.
Section 203 may make it more difficult for a person who would be an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Section 203 also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management and could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions, which our stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Forum Selection Clause
Under our Certificate, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting that any director, officer or other employee breached his or her fiduciary duty owed to us or our stockholders; any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL; or any action asserting a claim governed by Delaware’s internal affairs doctrine. 

Unless and until the Board resolves otherwise or as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Board, each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) that is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) shall be entitled to receive the compensation set forth below during the term of his or her service on the Board. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this policy shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 2012 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) or in the Company’s 2017 Non-Employee Directors Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), as the case may be.
Annual Cash Retainers
Frequency and Pro-Ration of Payments:  Each of the retainer payments described below shall be payable in cash in arrears in equal quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (or, if any such date is not a business day, the business day immediately preceding such date) (each such payment date, a “Quarterly Payment Date”) in respect of the calendar quarter that includes such Quarterly Payment Date, or, at the Non-Employee Director’s election given by written notice to the Company no later than March 15 of any calendar year, in one cash payment in arrears on December 31 (or if such date is not a business day, the business day immediately preceding such date) (such payment date, an “Annual Payment Date”) in respect of the calendar year that includes such Annual Payment Date. Any Non-Employee Director who becomes eligible for any of the following retainer payments on a date that is not the first day of a calendar quarter (or year) shall receive a pro-rated Retainer for his or her service in the applicable role on the Board for such quarter (or year) based on the number of days of such service during such quarter (or year).
Service as Non-Employee Director: Each Non-Employee Director shall receive an annual retainer (a “Retainer”) in the amount of $55,000 payable in cash in arrears.
Service as Lead Independent Director: The Non-Employee Director who serves as Lead Independent Director of the Board shall receive an additional annual retainer in the amount of $25,000 payable in cash in arrears.
Service as a Committee Member: Each Non-Employee Director who serves as a member (but not as a Chairperson) of one or more of the Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees (each, a “Committee”) of the Board shall receive an additional annual retainer in the amount of $10,000, $7,500 and/or $6,000 for his or her service on each such Committee, respectively, payable in cash in arrears.
Service as Chairperson of a Committee of the Board: Any Non-Employee Director who serves as a Chairperson of one or more of the Committees shall receive an additional annual retainer in the amount of $20,000, $15,000 and/or $10,000 for his or 

her service as the Chairperson of one or more of the Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, respectively, payable in cash in arrears.
Additional Non-Employee Director Compensation
Any Non-Employee Director who attends more than ten (10) meetings of the Board, or more than ten (10) meetings of the same Committee on which such Non-Employee Director serves, in any calendar year shall receive an additional cash payment of $2,000 for each such additional meeting thereof that such Non-Employee Director attends in person and $1,000 for each such additional meeting that such Non-Employee Director attends telephonically. 
Election to Receive Stock
A Non-Employee Director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her Retainer in shares of Common Stock by executing and submitting to the Company’s Corporate Secretary (the “Secretary”) an election form, pursuant to a form provided by the Company, which indicates the percentage of such Retainer that such director elects to receive in shares. A Non-Employee Director who wishes to revoke or amend a previously submitted election form may do so by executing and submitting to the Secretary a subsequent election form, pursuant to a form provided by the Company. An election form, whether initial or subsequent, shall be effective only with respect to Quarterly Payment Dates (or if applicable, the Annual Payment Date) that occur after the date on which the Secretary receives such form.  
    As of each Quarterly Payment Date (or if so elected, the Annual Payment Date), a Non-Employee Director who has validly elected to receive all or a portion of his or her Retainer in shares of Common Stock will receive a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of the Retainer that otherwise would have been payable to such director in cash on such date by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the day prior to such Quarterly Payment Date (or if so elected, the Annual Payment Date); provided that any fractional share shall be paid in cash.  
Equity Grants
Initial Restricted Stock Unit Grants to Directors: On the date that a Non-Employee Director commences service on the Board, such director shall receive under the Plan an initial grant (the “Initial Grant”) of Restricted Stock Units. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded in the Initial Grant shall be determined by dividing $100,000 by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the day prior to the grant date. Unless a Non-Employee Director elects otherwise pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the Initial Grant will vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.  
Annual Restricted Stock Unit Grants to Directors: On the date of the Company’s annual public stockholder meeting, each Non-Employee Director who at such meeting is elected to serve on the Board or whose term is scheduled to continue at least through the date of the next such meeting shall receive under the Plan an annual grant (each, an “Annual Grant”) of Restricted Stock Units. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded in the Annual Grant shall be determined by dividing $130,000 by the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the day prior to the grant date. Any Non-Employee Director who commences service on the Board on a date other than the date of the Company’s annual public stockholder meeting shall receive on such start date a pro-rated Annual Grant, with the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded in such grant determined by dividing (i) the product of $130,000 and a fraction, the numerator of which is 365 minus the number of days that have elapsed between the date of such meeting and such start date, and the denominator of which is 365, by (ii) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the day prior to such start date. Unless a Non-Employee Director elects otherwise pursuant to the Deferral Plan, each Annual Grant will vest 100% on the first anniversary of the grant date.EX-10.1

 ONCOR SALARY DEFERRAL PROGRAM 

(Amended and Restated Effective as of December 31, 2021) 

Section 1. Purpose 
 1.1
Purpose. The Oncor Salary Deferral Program (the “Plan”) was originally established effective as of January 1, 2010, as a spin-off of the EFH Salary Deferral Program (“Prior
Plan”), which was originally effective April 1, 1991. The Plan, therefore, assumed, and provides for the satisfaction of benefit liabilities accrued under, the Prior Plan as of December 31, 2009, with respect to certain employees of
the Company, as well as the benefits earned by Eligible Employees under the Plan thereafter. The Plan was amended and restated effective as of December 1, 2020 and is hereby further amended and restated effective as of December 31, 2021.

 The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide a mechanism for certain key employees of the Company and other Participating Employers to
defer a portion of their Salary and Bonus, to motivate key employees, and to recognize the contributions of such employees to the Company as the Plan sponsor. The Plan is designed as an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily for the purpose of
providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as determined under the provisions of Section 201(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 

Section 2. Definitions 
 2.1

 (b) “Adjustment Date” means the last
day of each calendar quarter and such other dates as the Committee in its discretion may prescribe.

“Vesting Period” means the period beginning with the date of the beginning of the Plan Year of Deferral and ending with the end of the seventh Plan Year. 

Section 3. Deferral Eligibility and Participation 

3.1 Eligibility. An Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the date that he/she satisfies the eligibility
requirements set forth herein. All Eligible Employees will be given the opportunity, annually during an election period prior to the beginning of a Plan Year, to participate in the Plan during such Plan Year. Individuals who first become Eligible
Employees during the Plan Year shall be notified of their eligibility and shall be given the opportunity, during the thirty (30) day period following the date of initial eligibility, to participate in the Plan for the remainder of such Plan
Year. Elections with regard to participation during a Plan Year shall be irrevocable. 
 3.2 Participation. All Eligible Employees
may elect to participate in this Plan, and defer Salary and Bonus in the manner prescribed in Section 4.1 below. 

  
 6 

 Section 4. Election to Defer 

4.1 Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee may elect, irrevocably, by written notice to the Plan Administrator on an election form at
the time(s), and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to make Deferrals during the Plan Year of a percentage of Salary and/or Bonus, under the Retirement Option, the Seven Year Option, or a combination thereof, in one percent (1%)
increments, up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of Salary and eighty-five percent (85%) of Bonus. Such election shall be made by an individual who first becomes eligible, during the period specified in Section 3.1, and by all other
Participants during the election period prescribed by the Plan Administrator, which shall be, prior to the first day of the Plan Year to which such election relates. 

4.2 Salary Deferrals. Salary deferred under the Plan will be ratably deducted in each pay period during the Plan Year. 

4.3 Bonus Deferrals. Bonus deferred under the Plan will be deferred at the time that the Bonus would otherwise have been paid. 

Section 5. Matching Awards, Company Discretionary Contributions, Vesting, and Forfeitures 

5.1 Matching Awards. Each Participating Employer shall contribute to the Account of each Participant employed by such Participating
Employer, as a Matching Award, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Salary Deferral up to a maximum Salary Deferral of eight percent (8%). Such contribution shall be credited at the time of the crediting of the
Salary Deferral amount to be matched. 
 5.2 Discretionary Company Contributions. In addition to the Matching Awards provided for in
Section 5.1 above, the Company may, from time to time, make additional discretionary contributions to the Accounts of individual Participants selected by the Company as directed by the Organization & Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board (the “O&C Committee”). The amount of any such discretionary contributions shall be determined by the O&C Committee in its sole and absolute discretion based on such factors as may be determined by the O&C
Committee to be appropriate. Such discretionary contributions may be fully vested when made, or may be subject to a vesting schedule or vesting parameters as determined by the O&C Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. The amount and
terms of discretionary contributions need not be uniform among Participants to whom the O&C Committee decides to make a discretionary contribution. The decision of the O&C Committee to authorize a discretionary contribution from the Company
to any one Participant will not entitle any other Participant to receive a discretionary contribution, nor entitle the Participant on whose behalf the discretionary contribution was made, to receive any other discretionary contribution. 

5.3 Vesting. Subject to the forfeiture provisions of Section 5.4 and the accelerated vesting provisions of Section 5.5, a
Participant shall at all times be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the portion of the Participant’s Account that is attributable to such Participant’s Deferrals and earnings thereon. A Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%)
vested in the Participant’s 

  
 7 

 
Matching Awards, and on income earned on such Matching Awards at the end of the Vesting Period. A Participant shall become vested in any Company discretionary contributions made on behalf of the
Participant pursuant to Section 5.2 at the time and subject to such conditions as may be determined by the O&C Committee at the time that the discretionary contribution is made. 

5.4 Forfeitures. The following amounts shall be forfeited from a Participant’s Account as of the date upon which the forfeiture is
created: 
 (a) Seven Year Option Forfeitures. 

(i) Early Retirement. An amount equal to four percent (4%) of the portion of the Participant’s Account balance relating to
Matching Awards and earnings thereon, and Salary Deferrals subject to Matching Awards and earnings thereon, for each full year Retirement occurs prior to Normal Retirement shall be forfeited. 

(ii) Termination for other than Death, Disability, Retirement, Termination Without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason
Following a Change in Control. If termination of service with the Company occurs for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement, termination without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, Matching
Awards and all earnings thereon shall be forfeited. 
 (b) Retirement Option Forfeitures. 

(i) Early Retirement. An amount equal to four percent (4%) of the Participant’s Account balance relating to non-vested Matching Awards and earnings thereon, and Salary Deferrals subject to Matching Awards and earnings thereon, for each full year Retirement occurs prior to Normal Retirement shall be forfeited. 

(ii) Termination for other than Death, Disability, Retirement, Termination Without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason Following a
Change in Control. If termination of service with the Company occurs for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement, termination without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, Matching Awards and all earnings
thereon for Plan Years which are non-vested shall be forfeited. 
 5.5 Accelerated Vesting Upon
Death, Disability, Normal Retirement, Termination Without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason Following a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3 or 5.4, in the event a Participant’s
employment is terminated without Cause or as a result of the Participant’s death, Disability, Normal Retirement, or Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, then (i) such Participant’s Accounts under the Plan shall
become fully vested, and (ii) the forfeiture provisions of Sections 5.4(a)(i) and 5.4(b)(i) shall not apply. 

  
 8 

 Section 6. Investments and Earnings 

6.1 Investments and Earnings on Participants’ Accounts. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, the amount
credited to a Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as of each Adjustment Date to reflect such gain, loss and/or expenses incurred based on the experience of the investments selected by the Participant prior to the date prescribed by the
Committee for the investment of his or her Account and taking into account additional Deferrals credited to and distributions made from such Account since the last Adjustment Date. The Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion with respect
to the number and type of investment choices made available for selection by Participants, the timing and manner of Participant investment elections and the method by which adjustments are made. The designation of investment choices by the Committee
shall be for the sole purpose of adjusting Accounts pursuant to this Section and this provision shall not obligate the Participating Employers to invest or set aside any assets for the payment of benefits hereunder; provided, however, that a
Participating Employer may invest a portion of its general assets in investments, including investments which are the same as or similar to the investment choices designated by the Committee and selected by Participants, but any such investments
shall remain part of the general assets of such Participating Employer and shall not be deemed or construed to grant a property interest of any kind to any Participant, designated beneficiary or estate. The Committee shall notify the Participants of
the investment choices available and the procedures for making and changing investment elections. 
 6.2 Investments and Earnings For
Deferrals and Matching Awards Made Prior to April 1, 1998. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, the Trustee shall continue to invest Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards made under the Prior Plan prior to April 1, 1998 under
the Seven Year Option, together with all earnings on such Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards, in a fixed income fund of investment grade securities under investment guidelines established by the Committee. At the time of distribution of the
portion of Accounts attributable to Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards made under the Prior Plan prior to April 1, 1998, Participants will receive their Account balances relating to such pre-April 1,
1998 Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards, including income determined by applying the Rate. 
 Section 7. Participant Accounts 

7.1 Separate Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain separate individual Accounts for each Participant for
deferrals of Salary, Bonus and Matching Awards and earnings thereon for each Plan Year. 
 7.2 Unsecured Interest. No Participant or
Beneficiary shall have any security interest whatsoever in any assets of the Company or any Participating Employer. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall not be secured or represented by
any assets of the Company or any Participating Employer. 
 Section 8. Distribution of Accounts 

8.1 Value of Participant’s Accounts. 

(a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), the value of a Participant’s Account shall be determined based
upon the amount credited to such Account as of the most recent Adjustment Date plus any Deferrals and Matching Awards credited to such Account since such Adjustment Date. 

  
 9 

 (b) Deferrals and Matching Awards Made Prior to April 1, 1998. The
value of the portion of a Participant’s Account relating to Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards made under the Prior Plan prior to April 1, 1998 shall be determined as of the last day of the applicable Deferral Period. 

(c) Reduction of Accounts Upon Distributions and Forfeitures. The amount of each distribution made with respect to an Account and any
forfeiture amounts applied pursuant to Section 5.4 shall be deducted from the balance credited to such Account at the time of distribution or forfeiture. 

8.2 Form and Timing of Distribution. The value of the Participant’s Accounts at distribution shall be paid in cash, as follows:

 (a) Seven-Year Option. In a lump-sum distribution as soon as practicable after the end of
the Deferral Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such date. The portion of the Participant’s Account subject to distribution hereunder shall be valued as of the end of the Deferral Period and shall not earn
interest or be otherwise adjusted for earnings for the period from the end of the Deferral Period to the date of distribution. 
 (b)
Retirement Option. 
 (i) Form of Payment upon Retirement. The aggregate amounts deferred under the Retirement Option,
together with any matching contribution or earnings attributable thereto, shall be distributed in a single annual installment, or in annual installments over the period certain elected by the Participant as provided in Section 8.2(b)(iii) from
one (1) to ten (10) years, or fifteen (15) years, or twenty (20) years, commencing in the year after, but in no event later than twelve months following the date of Retirement, subject, however, to the delay provided for in
Section 8.3. During the distribution period, undistributed amounts in the Retirement Option shall continue to be adjusted for earnings pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv). In the event of the death of a Participant or Beneficiary during the
distribution period, the remainder of the Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary has been designated, to the estate of the Participant or Beneficiary in a
lump-sum distribution as soon as practicable after the Participant’s date of death. 
 (ii)
If Participant Terminates. If the Participant terminates employment prior to Retirement, then the portion of his Account subject to the Retirement Option shall be paid in a lump-sum distribution as soon
as practicable after the end of the Deferral Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such date. The portion of the Participant’s Account subject to distribution hereunder shall be valued as of the end of the Deferral
Period and shall not earn interest or be otherwise adjusted for earnings for the period from the end of the Deferral Period to the date of distribution. 

  
 10 

 (iii) Election of Payment Term. Each Participant shall elect the period over which
amounts in such Participant’s Account subject to the Retirement Option shall be paid. Except as provided for in Section 8.2(b)(iv) below, (i) such election shall be made on or before the date the Participant first commences
participation in the Plan; and (ii) with respect to any amounts transferred to this Plan from the Prior Plan, the Participant’s election in effect under the Prior Plan shall continue to apply. Such election shall apply to the entire
portion (if any) of the Participant’s Account that is subject to the Retirement Option, regardless of when such amounts were deferred or otherwise credited to the Participant’s Account, and shall be irrevocable. 

(iv) Special Distribution Elections. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (iii) above, Participants shall be entitled to
make a distribution election (or elections) at such time or times as determined by the Plan Administrator consistent with Code Section 409A and the rules and regulations issued thereunder with respect to all accounts deferred under the Plan
before and after such election(s), and such election(s) shall, to the extent determined by the Plan Administrator consistent with Code Section 409A and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, supersede any other elections previously made
by the Participant. 
 (v) Earnings During Distribution Period. The Participant may, within sixty (60) days of Retirement, in
accordance with administrative procedures established by the Plan Administrator, elect to have all or a portion of his or her Account allocated, in increments of 1%, to a Fixed Annuity Fund (“Fixed Annuity”), which shall be credited a
fixed rate of interest throughout the Retirement distribution period. This rate will equal the Fixed Account rate in effect at the time of Retirement. Any amounts not allocated to a Fixed Annuity by the end of such
sixty-day period shall earn a variable annuity rate of return taking into account the earnings and losses credited to the Participant’s Account as a result of the investment return tracking elections made
by the Participant during the annuity period (“Variable Annuity”). Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2, with respect to the portion of the Participant’s Account relating to Salary
Deferrals and Matching Awards made under the Prior Plan prior to April 1, 1998, such installments shall be made in a fixed amount which shall amortize the value of such portion of the Participant’s Account over the period elected by the
Participant in Section 8.2(b)(iii), using the Rate as a projected earnings rate of return. 
 (c) Amounts Transferred from Prior
Plan. The portion of a Participant’s Account that is transferred to this Plan from the Prior Plan shall be payable at such time and in such terms as were applicable to such amounts under the Prior Plan, subject to a Participant’s right
to modify the terms and timing consistent with the terms of the Plan and Section 409A of the Code. 
 8.3 Delay of Certain Benefit
Payments. 
 (a) With respect to any Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code section 409A and
the regulations issued thereunder), the distribution of any benefits shall not commence earlier than the date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event that any benefit payable in
installments is delayed by application of this Section 8.3(a), the period of payment shall not be extended, the first payment shall include all amounts that would have otherwise been paid in the absence of such delay, and subsequent payments
shall be made at such times and in such amounts as would have otherwise been paid in the absence of such delay. 
 (b) The provisions of
Section 8.3(a) shall not apply (i) with respect to any distribution made on account of the death or Disability of the Participant, or (ii) if, at the time of such Participant’s Separation from Service, no stock of either the
Company or the Participant’s employer is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. 

  
 11 

 8.4 Election to Delay Commencement of Retirement Option Payments. 

Any Participant may make a one-time election to delay the commencement of payment of that portion of
his Account that is subject to the Retirement Option payment provisions of Section 8.2(b), subject to the following: 
 (a) Such
election shall be made no later than twelve (12) months prior to the date on which such payments would have otherwise commenced (without regard to the application of Section 8.3), and 

(b) Such election must specify a payment date that will cause the commencement of the payment of such amounts to be delayed for at least five
(5) years beyond the date such payments would have otherwise commenced in the absence of the election under this Section 8.4. 

(c) A Participant may make only one election under this Section 8.4 during the period of his participation in the Prior Plan and/or this
Plan and such election will be ineffective until the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date it is made. 
 (d) An election
under this Section 8.4 shall not be effective with respect to any amount subject to the Retirement Option that is payable as a lump sum under Section 8.2(b)(ii). 

8.5 Distribution in the Event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. If a Participant encounters an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Plan
Administrator in its absolute discretion may direct the Company to pay to such Participant such portion of the Account, including the entire amount if appropriate, as the Committee shall determine to be necessary to satisfy the need presented by
such Unforeseeable Emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay all taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. A distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent such emergency may be
relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship). 

Section 9. Certain Elections for Participants in Prior Plan 

9.1 Election to Continue Under Original Plan Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Eligible Employees who, as of
March 31, 1998, were Participants in the Prior Plan were given the opportunity, pursuant to a one-time, irrevocable written election, to have certain provisions relating to permitted Deferrals, Matching
Awards and investments as described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Original Plan Provisions”), apply with respect to their future Plan participation. 

  
 12 

 9.2 Election for Investment of Pre-April 1, 1998
Deferrals and Matching Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Eligible Employees who, as of March 31, 1998, were Participants in the Prior Plan and who did not make the election provided for in Section 9.1 to have the
Original Plan Provisions apply to their future Plan participation, were given the opportunity, pursuant to a one-time, irrevocable written election, to have the investment provisions set forth in
Section 6.1 and the valuation provisions set forth in Section 8.1(a) apply to the entirety of their Account, including Salary Deferrals and Matching Awards made under the Prior Plan prior to April 1, 1998. The Account of each
Participant who made such an election was valued as of March 31, 1998 using the actual rate of return of such Account assets in accordance with the investment provisions of Section 6.2. From and after April 1, 1998, the provisions of
Sections 6.2 and 8.1(b) no longer applied to any portion of their Account. Furthermore, such Participant’s election under Section 8.2(b)(v) shall be applied as if all amounts in Participant’s Account, subject to the Retirement Option,
were deferred on or after April 1, 1998. 
 Section 10. Nontransferability 

10.1 Nontransferability. In no event shall the Company or any Participating Employer make any distribution or payment under this Plan to
any assignee or creditor of a Participant or a Beneficiary. Prior to the time of a distribution or payment hereunder, a Participant or a Beneficiary shall have no right by way of anticipation or otherwise to assign or otherwise dispose of any
interest under this Plan. 
 Section 11. Designation of Beneficiaries 

11.1 Specified Beneficiary. A Participant shall designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who, upon the Participant’s death are to
receive the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant. All Beneficiary designations shall be in writing and signed by the Participant, and shall be effective only if and when delivered to the Plan Administrator during the
lifetime of the Participant. A Participant may, from time to time during his lifetime, change his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by a signed, written instrument delivered to the Plan Administrator. The payment of amounts shall be in accordance with
the last unrevoked written designation of the Beneficiary that has been signed and so delivered. 
 11.2 Estate as Beneficiary. If a
Participant designates a Beneficiary without providing in the designation that the Beneficiary must be living at the time of each distribution, the designation shall vest in the Beneficiary all of the distributions whether payable before or after
the Beneficiary’s death, and any distributions remaining upon the Beneficiary’s death shall be made to the Beneficiary’s estate. In the event a Participant shall not designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or if, for any reason,
such designation shall be ineffective, in whole or in part, as determined solely in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, the distribution that otherwise would have been paid to such Participant shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

 Section 12. Rights of Participants 

12.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall alter or interfere in any way with the employment relationship between Participants and
Participating Employers, nor limit in any way the right of the Company or any Participating Employer to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time. This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of
the Company or any Participating Employer. 

  
 13 

 Section 13. Administration 

13.1 Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Committee is authorized, in its sole
discretion, to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, provide for conditions and assurances deemed necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Company, and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The determination of the Committee, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for
all purposes and upon all persons whomsoever. The Committee shall appoint a Plan Administrator to assist in carrying out the operations of the Plan and a Trustee of the Trust to accompany the Plan. 

13.2 Annual Reports. The Plan Administrator shall render annually a written report to each Participant which shall set forth, at a
minimum, the Participant’s Account balances as of the end of the most recent Plan Year. 
 Section 14. Amendment or Termination of the
Plan 
 14.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, terminate, or suspend the Plan at any time. Any such
amendment, termination, or suspension of the Plan shall be effective on such date as the Board may determine. An amendment or modification of the Plan may affect Participants at the time thereof as well as future Participants, but no amendment or
modification of the Plan for any reason may diminish any Participant’s Accounts as of the effective date thereof, except that an amendment may diminish a Participant’s benefit under this Plan to the extent a reasonably equivalent or more
favorable benefit is made available to such Participant under another plan, policy or program of the Company. As soon as practical, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days following Plan termination, the Participating Employers shall make
irrevocable contributions to the Trust in an aggregate amount, as determined by the Committee, which when added to the total value of the assets of the Trust at such time equals the total amount credited to all Accounts as of the date of Plan
termination. In the event the Plan is terminated, no additional deferrals shall be permitted, and Participants’ Accounts shall be distributed at the time and in the manner that they would otherwise have been distributed under the Plan in the
absence of such termination. In no event shall such termination result in the acceleration of benefit payments hereunder. 
 Section 15.
Corporate Changes 
 15.1 Dissolution or Liquidation. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, upon the
dissolution of the Company in a transaction subject to taxation under Code section 331, the Participants’ Accounts shall vest as of the day preceding the date of dissolution or liquidation and shall not be subject to the forfeiture provisions
of this Plan. The Company shall cause the full amount of each Participant’s Account to be paid in cash in a lump sum to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, as soon as is practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following
the date of dissolution or liquidation. 

  
 14 

 15.2 Funding Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the
Trust to the contrary, the Plan Administrator may authorize the Trustee to make the following payments even if they would otherwise not be permitted by the Trust, and a Participating Employer may refrain from making any contributions or payments
otherwise required or permitted to be made by the Plan or the Trust, to the extent necessary to satisfy the following requirements. 
 (a)
No amount shall be set aside or reserved directly or indirectly (under the Trust or otherwise), during any restricted period (as defined in Section 409A(b)(3)(B) of the Code) for the purpose of paying a Benefit under the Plan to any Eligible
Employee who is an applicable covered employee (as defined in Section 409A(b)(3)(D) of the Code). It is understood that a restricted period will generally occur in a Plan Year if any single-employer defined benefit plan (an “Applicable
Plan”) maintained by the Company or any company that is in a controlled group that includes the Company (within the meaning of Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code and guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service) is “at risk”
within the meaning of Section 430(i) of the Code for the preceding Plan Year. “Applicable covered employee” generally includes any Eligible Employee who is, with respect to the Company or any entity under common control with the
Company, described in section 162(m)(3) of the Code or subject to the requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All such persons are referred to herein as “Covered Employees.” 

(b) The Plan Administrator shall monitor the funded status of each Applicable Plan and will determine whether a restricted period exists with
respect to any such plan. If the Plan Administrator determines that a restricted period exists for a Plan Year, it shall determine whether any amount, including earnings, has been set aside or reserved during that period for the purpose of paying a
benefit to any Covered Employee or would be set aside but for the action of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may request the Trustee to pay such amount to the Company or to any other person designated by the Plan Administrator or to
otherwise segregate such amount from the assets of the Trust. The foregoing shall not apply, however, to the extent that the Company elects to treat the amount set aside or reserved as a transfer of property for tax purposes and taxable to the
Covered Employee accordingly. 
 (c) Subject to any guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan Administrator may use any
method it deems appropriate to calculate the amount set aside or reserved for any Covered Employee during a restricted period. The determination made by the Plan Administrator shall be binding on the Trustee and each Covered Employee and any person
claiming any interest in or payment from the Trust related to such Covered Employee. The Plan Administrator may also utilize any program approved by the Internal Revenue Service to correct any amount that was improperly set aside under the Trust,
and may adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary to comply with Section 409A(b)(3) of the Code. 
 (d) The Plan
Administrator shall maintain a record of any amount transferred from the Trust pursuant to paragraph (b), or that a Participating Employer does not contribute to the Trust. Such amount shall be credited with interest or earnings based on what would
have been allocable to such amounts if they had been held in the Trust. Such amount shall be paid to the Trust as soon as possible after the Plan Administrator determines that no Applicable Plan remains in a restricted period. If any payment from
the Trust to a Covered Employee or the Covered 

  
 15 

 
Employee’s beneficiary has been reduced or withheld as a result of the restrictions of this Section, such amount shall be paid to such employee in a lump sum as soon as possible after the
amount contemplated in the foregoing sentence is paid to the Trustee. The Company may also make such payments directly. 
 (e) The purpose
of this Section is to comply with the restrictions of Section 409A(b)(3) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. This provision is intended to impose only those restrictions that are required by that Section and only on the persons
covered by the Section. The Plan Administrator shall interpret and apply this Section accordingly. 
 Section 16. Requirements of Law

 16.1 Governing Law. The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A and the regulations issued
thereunder, and shall be construed to that end. Except as otherwise preempted by Federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas. 

Section 17. Withholding Taxes 

17.1 Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all cash payments under the Plan or from a Participant’s
compensation an amount necessary to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements. 
 Section 18. Investment and Funding

 18.1 Trust. The benefits to be derived by Participants in the Plan will be funded through the Trust, provided, however, that
any assets held by the Trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of judgment creditors of the Company. 
 18.2 Funding of
Trust. With respect to Deferrals made under the Seven Year Option, the Participating Employers shall, promptly after Deferrals are credited to Participants’ Accounts, provide the Trust with resources in amounts equal to the amounts of such
Deferrals. With respect to Deferrals made under the Retirement Option, the Participating Employers shall fund the Trust through the purchase of corporate owned life insurance or such other Trust assets as may be determined by the Committee from time
to time. 
 18.3 Distributions from Trust. If Trust assets allocated to any Participant’s Account for a Plan Year are less than
the amount required to effect a distribution to such Participant provided for in this Plan, the applicable Participating Employer will pay such difference either through the Trust or directly to the Participant. If, after all obligations to
Participants hereunder have been fully satisfied, there remain assets in the Trust, such excess amounts shall be returned to the Company. 

18.4 Funding and Distribution Requirements Under Certain Circumstances. The provisions of this Section 18 shall be subject to
(and, if deemed to be contradicting, overridden by) the provisions of Section 15 of this Plan.

Original Plan Provisions 

The following provisions shall apply to the Plan participation of Participants who made the one-time
irrevocable election to continue to be governed by the Original Plan Provisions as described in Section 9.1 of the Plan: 
 1.
Deferral Election. The Participant may elect, irrevocably, by written notice to the Plan Administrator on an election form and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to defer a percentage of Salary, in one percent (1%) increments
not to exceed a maximum of ten percent (10%), during each Plan Year, in the Retirement Option, the Seven Year Option, or a combination thereof. Deferrals of Bonus shall not be permitted. 

2. Matching Awards. The Company shall contribute to each Participant’s Account, as a Matching Award, an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the amount of Salary deferred by the Participant. Such contribution shall be credited at the time of the crediting of the Salary Deferral amount to be matched. 

3. Investments, Earnings and Valuation. 

(a) The Trustee shall invest, as soon as administratively feasible, all contributions received for Accounts held in Trust under the Seven Year
Option of the Plan in a fixed income fund of investment grade securities under investment guidelines established by the Committee. Interest received on the investments shall be reinvested in such fund. All other contributions shall be invested in
accordance with investment guidelines established by the Committee. 
 (b) At the time of distribution, the Participant will receive his
Account balance including income determined by applying the Rate. 
 (c) The total of all assets held by the Trustee for Accounts held in
Trust will be deemed held in an unsegregated fund for valuation purposes. Each month the Trustee shall determine the value of each unit by dividing the current value of the fund by the total number of units held in all such Accounts. The value of
Accounts held in Trust under the Retirement Option of the Plan shall be determined in the same manner as amounts deferred under the Seven Year Option of the Plan. 

4. Forfeitures. The following provisions shall apply with respect to forfeitures in lieu of the provisions of Section 5.4 of the
Plan. The amounts described below shall be forfeited from an Account as of the date upon which the forfeiture is created:

Year Option Forfeitures. 
 (i) Early Retirement. An amount equal to four percent (4%) of the total Account balance for each
full year Retirement occurs prior to Normal Retirement shall be forfeited. 

  
 B-1 

 (ii) Termination for other than Death, Disability, Retirement, Termination Without
