compensation arrangement maintained by the Company (or the employing member of the Affiliated Group). Any non-US compensation shall be treated as US-source compensation

contributions permitted thereunder with respect to such year, and 

  

	 	(b)	the amount of earnings paid thereon, or which would have been paid thereon (assuming a fair and reasonable rate of interest selected by the sponsor of the Savings Plan) had the maximum amount of elective deferral
contributions been made by such Participant. 

 The terms “elective deferral contributions” and
“matching contributions” shall have the meanings given such terms under the Savings Plan. For purposes of the Plan, “Discretionary Contributions” (as defined in the Savings Plan) shall not be

The Company has established the Plan for the purpose of providing pension supplements to senior executives and certain group executives which, when combined
with other employment related benefits, shall provide for the aggregate level of retirement benefits specified herein. The Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing
deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and shall be interpreted and
administered in a manner consistent therewith. 
 Section 3. Participation.

person or entity. The Board shall have the authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and decide all questions and settle all disputes that may arise in connection with the Plan, all in the sole exercise of its reasonable discretion. The
Board may establish operative and administrative rules and procedures in connection therewith, provided that such procedures and rules are consistent with the requirements of section 503 of ERISA. All interpretations, decisions, and determinations
reasonably made by the Board shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons concerned.

A Participant’s benefits shall become payable upon his Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date unless a later date is elected in accordance with

Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and continue throughout the Participant’s lifetime with the guarantee that not less than one hundred and eighty (180) monthly payments shall be made to the Participant or his Beneficiary, or, at
the election of the Participant, an annuity benefit that is Actuarially Equivalent to the Normal Form of Benefit. If the Participant desires to elect an annuity in any annuity form other than the Normal Form of Benefit, the Participant must make
such election before his retirement benefit has commenced. 
 Section 7. Benefits at Early Retirement Date. 

 

	(a)	Amount of Benefit 

 If the Participant retires on an Early Retirement Date he shall
receive a retirement benefit payable in equal monthly installments commencing on his Early Retirement Date equal to: 
 [A/B x (C x (1-D) -
E)] 
 where 
  

					
	A	  	=	  	the Participant’s Continuous Service at his Separation from Service
	B	  	=	  	the Participant’s Accrual Period

	(b)	Time and Form of Benefit 

 Subject to Section 10, the retirement benefit determined
pursuant to Section 7(a) shall become payable on the first day of the month immediately following the Participant’s Early Retirement Date. If the Participant’s retirement benefit is payable at an Early Retirement Date, the annual
retirement benefit determined in Section 7(a) shall reflect a reduction of 0.3% for each complete month the Participant’s Early Retirement Date precedes age 60 (the “Early Retirement Reduction Factor”), unless otherwise specified
in an appendix. The retirement benefit payable in accordance with this Section 7(b) shall be paid to the Participant or his Beneficiary in the Normal Form of Benefit, or, at the election of the Participant, in an Actuarially Equivalent annuity
form. If the Participant desires to elect an annuity in any annuity form other than the Normal Form of Benefit, the Participant must make such election before his retirement benefit has commenced. 

  
 5 

 Section 8. Pre-Retirement Benefit. 

 

	(a)	Amount of Benefit 

 If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before his
Early Retirement Age, the Participant shall be entitled to a Pre-Retirement Benefit, payable in equal monthly installments, at his Normal Retirement Age, unless otherwise specified in an appendix, equal to:

 [A/B x (C-E)] 

where 
  

					
	A	  	=	  	the Participant’s Continuous Service at his Separation from Service
	B	  	=	  	the Participant’s Accrual Period
	C	  	=	  	the benefit determined under Section 6(a) but without regard to Section 6(a)(ii)

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit determined under this Section 8(a) may not be less than
0. 
  

	(b)	Time and Form of Benefit 

 The Pre-Retirement
Benefit determined pursuant to Section 8(a) shall commence on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date the Participant attains his Normal Retirement Age. The Pre-Retirement
Benefit shall be paid to the Participant or his Beneficiary in the Normal Form of Benefit, or, at the election of the Participant, in an Actuarially Equivalent annuity form. If the Participant desires to elect an annuity in any annuity form other
than the Normal Form of Benefit, the Participant must make such election before his retirement benefit has commenced. 
 Section 9. Change in
Control Benefits. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service (for any
reason other than death) within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, the following shall apply: 
  

	(a)	Amount, Time and Form of Benefit 

 The annual retirement benefit payable in equal monthly
installments shall be (i) determined under Section 6(a) of the Plan, (ii) payable in such form as provided in Section 6(b) of the Plan (or as otherwise elected under Section 12), and (iii) paid, subject to
Section 10, upon such Participant’s qualifying Separation from Service. The Participant’s benefit shall not be reduced due to benefit payments commencing prior to the Participant attaining any specified age provided the Participant
has attained Early Retirement Age. If the Participant has not yet attained Early Retirement Age, the benefit shall be actuarially reduced from age 55 to his actual age when benefits commence. 

  
 6 

	(b)	Grantor Trust 

 Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service described in this
Section 9, the Company shall transfer to a grantor trust arrangement an actuarially determined amount sufficient to satisfy the benefit obligations to the Participant under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be transferred
to such a trust if the transfer would result in taxable income to a Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Any assets held by such a trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Benefits paid to a Participant
from any such trust shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company under the Plan. 
  

	(c)	“Change in Control” 

 A “Change in Control” means the occurrence of
any of the following events: 
  

	 	(i)	Any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)) acquires ownership of stock of the 50%
of the total fair market, value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the
Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of
more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by
such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of
additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then occur. 

 

	 	(ii)	Any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any one person or group is considered to own 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires ownership of more than 30% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company as a result of the acquisition by the Company of
stock of the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the percentage of shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Company (if
not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Company’s acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional stock of the Company that increases the percentage of outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by such
person, a Change in Control shall then occur. 

  
 7 

	 	(iii)	Any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)) acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all the
assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. The gross fair market value of assets shall be determined without regard to liabilities associated with such assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of assets shall
not result in a Change in Control if such transfer is to (a) a shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (b) an entity 50% or more of the total value or voting power of
which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (c) a person or group (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or
more of the total value or voting power of the stock of the Company, or (d) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by a person or group described in clause (c) of this sentence.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an acquisition of stock of the Company described in (i) or (ii) above shall not be
deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: (a) an acquisition by the Company; (b) an acquisition by any of the Company’s subsidiaries in which a majority of the voting power of the equity securities
or equity interests of such subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; or (c) an acquisition by any employee benefit or stock ownership plan of the Company or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such a plan acting in such
capacity. 
 If the Participant is employed by IPSCO Tubulars Inc., NS Group, Inc., or a successor subsidiary of such employer in the United
States, “Company” for purposes of this definition of “Change in Control” shall mean either IPSCO Tubulars, Inc., NS Group, Inc. or such United States subsidiary, but only with respect to those Participants employed by such
subsidiary. 
 Section 10. Required Delay Period. 
  

	(a)	Timing of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Participant’s retirement benefit payable under the Plan (if any) shall commence on the first day of the seventh month
following the month of the Participant’s Separation from Service (the “Required Delay Period”); provided, however, that the Required Delay Period shall not apply with respect to: (i) a
Pre-Retirement Benefit payable under Section 8 or (ii) the death benefit payable under Section 11. Any amount payable pursuant to this Section 10 within 30 days after the end of the Required
Delay Period (or such later date as may be required, or permitted, by Section 409A) shall be considered timely paid. 

  

	(b)	Amount to Be Paid After the Required Delay Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Participant’s annual retirement benefit shall continue to be calculated under the Plan (and reduced, as
applicable) and shall not reflect the Required Delay Period. To the extent any retirement benefit is not paid during the Required Delay Period, the first monthly payment made to the Participant on the last day of Required Delay Period shall consist
of (i) that month’s regularly scheduled installment distribution, (ii) any month’s regularly scheduled installment distribution that would have been paid to the Participant, but for the Required Delay Period, and (iii) a
payment of interest calculated on the missed monthly payments described in (ii), which interest shall accrue from the first day of the month such missed payment could have been paid, but for the Required Delay Period, based on the applicable federal
rate in effect under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code for the month of the Participant’s Separation from Service through the last day of the Required Delay Period. 

  
 8 

 Section 11. Death Benefits. 
  

	(a)	Death Before Retirement. If the Participant dies before payment of his annual retirement benefit has commenced, his Beneficiary shall receive the actuarial present value of the participant’s accrued benefit
net of the offsets defined herein. Such survivor benefit shall be paid at the same time and same form as elected by the Participant, provided that Section 10 shall not apply to the payment of such survivor benefit. 

 

	(b)	Death After Retirement. If the Participant dies after payment of his annual retirement benefit has commenced, his Beneficiary shall receive the survivor benefit inherent in the form of payment provided to the
Participant. Such survivor benefit shall be paid at the same time and same form as elected by the Participant, provided that Section 10 shall not apply to the payment of such survivor benefit. 

Section 12. Special Payment Elections. 
  

	(a)	Lump-Sum Election. 

 Notwithstanding anything
contained in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant may make an election to receive payment of his benefit under the Plan in the form of a lump-sum in an amount that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Normal
Form of Benefit, provided that such election is made and becomes irrevocable within 30 days of the Participant’s Commencement Date. Such lump-sum election shall apply to any benefit payable to the
Participant or his Beneficiary under the Plan, including the benefit payable to the Participant under Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the benefit payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary under Section 11. The election made under this
Section 12(a) shall be irrevocable and may not be modified in accordance with Section 12(b). 
  

	(b)	Subsequent Payment Election. 

 Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the
Contrary, a Participant may elect to delay the commencement of payment of his retirement benefit by filing a Subsequent Payment Election under this Section 12. If a Participant files a Subsequent Payment Election hereunder, the amount of the
benefit shall be determined as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, and the benefit shall commence a number of years after the Participant’s Separation from Service (not to be less than five years) as elected by the
Participant on his Subsequent Payment Election. For these purposes, the benefit (net of offsets) shall be actuarially increased, with interest only, to the date payments are to actually commence. Such Subsequent Payment Election must comply with the
following additional requirements: 
  

	 	(i)	the Subsequent Payment Election must be submitted to and accepted by the Board; 

  

	 	(ii)	unless otherwise provided by the Board, a Participant may not file a Subsequent Payment Election under this Section 12 more than once; 

 

	 	(iii)	the Subsequent Payment Election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the Subsequent Payment Election is filed with and accepted by the Board; and 

 

	 	(iv)	the Participant must elect to commence payment of his entire benefit on a date no earlier than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date the benefit would have otherwise commenced to be paid under the Plan if a Subsequent
Payment Election had not been filed.

 Section 13. Section 409A Compliance and Certain Acceleration of Payments. 

 

	 	(a)	General. 

 It is intended that the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A
of the Code, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any amounts deferred hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts would otherwise actually be paid or made available to Participants or
Beneficiaries. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that effects such intent, and the Board shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent. Although the Board shall use its best efforts to avoid
the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the tax treatment of deferrals under this Plan is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, the other members of the Affiliated Group, nor the Board (nor
its designee) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant, Beneficiary or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also
include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section 409A of the Code by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. 

 

	 	(b)	Delay of Payments. 

 To the extent consistent with the terms of the Plan, the Company may
delay the schedule for payment of a Participant’s retirement benefit provided under the Plan to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with the requirements, restrictions and limitations of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7). 
  

	 	(c)	Discretionary Acceleration of Payments. 

 To the extent permitted by Section 409A of
the Code, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan as provided in this Section 13(c). The provisions of this Section are intended to comply with the exception to accelerated payments
under Treasury Regulation Section-1.409A-3(j) and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, the Company
may not accelerate the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid under the Plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	 	(i)	Domestic Relations Orders. The Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan to an individual other than the Participant as may be necessary to fulfill a
domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(l)(B) of the Code). 

  

	 	(ii)	 Employment Taxes. The Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or
schedule of a payment under the Plan to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) of the Code, or the Railroad Retirement Act (“RRTA”) tax imposed under Sections
3201, 3211, 3231(e)(1), and 3231(e)(8) of the Code, where applicable, on compensation deferred under the Plan (the “FICA or RRTA Amount”). Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or
schedule of a payment, to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA or RRTA
Amount, and to pay the 

  
 10 

	 	additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Section 3401 of the Code wages and taxes. However, the total payment under this acceleration provision must not exceed the aggregate of the
FICA or RRTA Amount, and the income tax withholding related to such FICA or RRTA Amount. 

  

	 	(iii)	Limited Cash-Outs. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require a mandatory lump sum payment of amounts deferred under the Plan that do not exceed the
applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, provided that the payment results in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of the Participant’s interest under the Plan, including all agreements, methods,
programs, or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Section 409A of the Code. 

 

	 	(iv)	Payment Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or
schedule of a payment under the Plan at any time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	 	(v)	Payment of State, Local, or Foreign Taxes. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment under
the Plan to reflect payment of state, local, or foreign tax obligations arising from participation in the Plan that apply to an amount deferred under the Plan before the amount is paid or made available to the Participant (the “State, Local, or
Foreign Tax Amount”). Such payment may not exceed the amount of such taxes due as a result of participation in the Plan. The payment may be made in the form of withholding pursuant to provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign law or by
payment directly to the Participant. Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of
the Code as a result of such payment and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code attributable to such additional wages and taxes. However, the total payment under this acceleration provision
must not exceed the aggregate of the State, Local, and Foreign tax amount, and the income tax withholding related to such State, Local, and Foreign tax amount. 

  

	 	(vi)	Certain Offsets. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan as satisfaction
of a debt of the Participant to the Company (or any entity which would be considered to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414 (b) or Section 414(c) of the Code), where such debt is incurred in the ordinary course of the
service relationship between the Company (or any entity which would be considered to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) and the Participant, the entire amount of reduction in any of
the taxable years of the Company (or any entity which would be considered to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) does not exceed $5,000, and the reduction is made at the same time and
in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant. 

  
 11 

	 	(vii)	Bona Fide Disputes as to a Right to a Payment. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment under
the Plan where such payments occur as part of a settlement between the Participant and the Company (or any entity which would be considered to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) of an
arm’s length, bona fide dispute as to the Participant’s right to the deferred amount. 

  

	 	(viii)	Other Events and Conditions. Subject to Section 10 and Section 13(b) above, a payment may be accelerated upon such other events and conditions as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally
applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. 

  

	(d)	For purposes of the Plan, all payments shall be made on the date specified in the Plan or a later date within the same taxable year or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date specified
under the Plan, provided that the Participant is not permitted to directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of the payment. 

Section 14. Vesting; Forfeiture for Cause. 
 The
benefit provided under the Plan shall be 100% vested; provided that, and notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or the employing member of the
Affiliated Group) for Cause, such Participant shall immediately forfeit any rights to any benefits, and no benefits shall be paid to such Participant or his Beneficiary under the Plan. 

Section 15. Nature of Claim for Payments. 
 Except as
otherwise provided in the Plan, the Company shall not be required to set aside or segregate any assets of any kind to meet its obligations hereunder. The Participant shall have no right on account of the Plan in, or any specific assets of, the
Company. Any right to any payment the Participant may have on account of the Plan shall be that of a general, unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 The
obligation of the Company to pay benefits under the Plan shall be binding upon its successors, assigns, whether by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all of its business assets. 

Section 16. No Assignment or Alienation. 
 The
interest hereunder of the Participant or Beneficiary shall not be alienable by the Participant or Beneficiary by assignment or any other method and shall not be subject to, or be taken by, his creditors by any process whatsoever, and any attempt to
cause such interest to be so subjected shall not be recognized, except to such extent required by law. 
 Section 17. No Contract of Employment.

 The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company (or the employing member of the Affiliated Group) and the
Participant, or to be consideration for the employment of the Participant. Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan nor any action taken by the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group under the provisions hereof, nor any
provision of the Plan, shall be construed as giving to the Participant the right to be retained in its employ or any right to any payment whatsoever except to the extent of the benefits provided for by the Plan. The Company and the employing member
of the Affiliated Group expressly reserve their right at any time to dismiss the Participant without liability for any claim against the Company or any member of the Affiliated Group for any payment whatsoever, except to the extent provided for in
the Plan. 

  
 12 

 Section 18. Amendment. 

The Plan may be altered, amended, or revoked in writing by the Company at any time, but such action may not reduce the Company’s obligation with respect
to the Participant below the amount to which he would be entitled under the Plan as in effect immediately prior to such alteration, amendment, or revocation. Except as may be permitted under Section 409A of the Code, no alteration, amendment or
revocation of the Plan shall directly or indirectly accelerate a distribution to any Participant and the Company’s obligation to the Participant shall continue until the obligation lapses in accordance with the terms of the Plan immediately
prior to such alteration, amendment or revocation. 
 Section 19. Claims Procedure. 

In the event a Participant’s claim for benefits under the Plan is denied in whole or in part by the Company, the Company shall notify the Participant (or
Beneficiary) of the denial. Such notification shall be made in writing, within 90 days of the date the claim is received by the Company, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case, a decision shall be rendered not later
than 180 days after the claim was received. The notification shall include: (i) the specific reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to the Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional
information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the applicable review procedures. 

The Participant has 90 days from the date he or she receives notice of a claim denial to file a written request for review of the denial with the Company. The
Company shall review the claim denial and inform the Participant (or Beneficiary) in writing of its decision within 60 days of the date the claim review request is received by the Company, unless special circumstances require an extension of time,
in which case, a decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after the receipt of a request for review. Such decision shall be final and binding on the claimant. 

Section 20. Governing Law. 
 The Plan shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois except to the extent preempted by federal law. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Company, by its duly authorized officer, has caused the Plan to be executed this 2nd day of December, 2011.
