VII. PERFORMANCE PERIOD & PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Cash Payouts to Participants can range from 0% to 200% of the original Award value based on the achievement of the S&P Dow Jones Indices performance measures during the Performance Period. The final Payout will be determined 100% on S&P Dow Jones Indices’ overall performance against its 3 year EBITA growth target for the Performance Period as stated below. 
As it pertains to the EBITA performance measure, the final Payout is determined in accordance with the table set forth below, with a straight line interpolation of performance between the points in the table.
									
	3 Year EBITA Performance Goal		
	EBITA Growth (3-Yr CAGR)	EBITA	Payment
	3.0%	Below $693.48M	0%
	5.7%	$749.46M	50%
	8.2%	$805.44M	100% Target
	10.7%	$861.42M	150%
	13.0% or
Above	$917.40M or Above	Up to 200%

The Company Board may amend or modify the EBITA performance goal (A) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance measure and corresponding performance goal) or (B) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance measure and corresponding performance goal), or the financial statements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance measure and corresponding performance goal), or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles, law or business conditions; provided, however, that any action by the Company Board under this sentence shall apply to a Participant who is an SPGI EO only with the approval of the CLDC.  In addition, the Company Board, with the approval of the CLDC, may in connection with the selection of a Participant who is an SPGI EO modify the targets of payment percentages applicable to the SPGI EO.
Cash Payouts will be calculated after final financial results for the Performance Period are determined and will be paid in accordance with Article VIII after the Company Board has certified in writing that the performance measures for the Performance Period have been achieved. 
The Company Committee will approve all results and Payout calculations, subject to formal approval by the Company Board, which may, in its discretion, exercise negative discretion to reduce the amount of, or eliminate, a payment that would otherwise be payable. Awards and payments for Awards made to a Participant who is an SPGI EO will be made only after the CLDC (i) has certified that the performance measures for the Performance Period have been achieved and (ii) has approved the Payout (including, without limitation, any reduction or elimination of the Payout through the exercise of negative discretion).
If the performance goals are not achieved, then no Payouts will be paid in respect of Awards pursuant to the Plan.
VIII. PAYMENT OF CASH AWARDS
Except as provided in Article X, in order to receive a Payout, a Participant must be an active employee of S&P Dow Jones Indices or its subsidiaries or SPGI or one of its affiliates through the Award Maturity Date. Participants will receive calculated Payouts between January 1, 2023 and March 15, 2023. Participants shall not have the right to interest on Awards during the Performance Period. Payouts with respect to Awards shall be made in cash and are subject to all applicable tax withholding.
IX. CHANGE IN CONTROL
In connection with any actual or potential change in control of the Company, as determined by the SPGI Board (a “Change in Control”), the SPGI Board will take all actions hereunder as it may determine necessary or appropriate to treat Participants equitably hereunder, including, without limitation, the modification or waiver of applicable performance measures, the Performance Period, or cash awards, notwithstanding the terms of any Award, and may create a fund, a trust or other arrangement intended to secure the payment of such Award; provided, however, that no such action shall accelerate the timing of the Award Payment Date.
X. TERMINATION OF SERVICE
If Participant’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries and SPGI and its affiliates is terminated before the Award Maturity Date for reasons of death, Retirement or job elimination/redundancy, the Participant’s Payout will be calculated as a result of performance over the Performance Period and prorated to reflect the number of full calendar days of employment, together with any Separation Pay Period (as defined in the applicable separation plan or agreement) in the case of job 

elimination/redundancy, during the Performance Period; provided, however, in the case of job elimination/redundancy, the Participant’s Payout shall be subject to the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a release in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”), releasing the Company, SPGI and their respective affiliates or subsidiaries and certain other persons and entities from certain claims and other liabilities, which Release must be effective and irrevocable within the time specified in the Release.  Such prorated Payouts will be paid on the Award Payment Date in accordance with Article VIII.  In the event of the Participant’s termination prior to the Award Maturity Date due to death, the prorated Payout will be calculated by measuring the compound annual growth from the start of the Performance Period through the end of the year in which the termination occurs. Such prorated Payout will be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Participant (or if the Participant has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Participant’s estate), not later than March 15, in the year immediately following the year in which death occurred.
In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries and SPGI and its affiliates is terminated for Cause, or if the Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment (other than due to Retirement) before the Award Maturity Date, the Participant will not be entitled to any Payout in respect of such Award, unless otherwise determined by the Company Board.
For purposes of the Plan, “Cause” shall mean, (i) for any Participant with an employment agreement that is in effect at the time of such termination or resignation of employment and that defines “Cause,” the meaning set forth in such employment agreement, (ii) for any Participant with Award documentation that defines “Cause” with respect to such Award, the meaning such forth in such Award documentation, and (iii) in all other cases, the Participant’s misconduct in respect of the Participant’s obligations to the Company, SPGI or their respective affiliates or other acts of misconduct by the Participant occurring during the course of the Participant’s employment, which in either case results in or could reasonably be expected to result in material damage to the property, business or reputation of the Company, SPGI or their respective affiliates; provided, however, that in no event shall unsatisfactory job performance alone be deemed to be “Cause”; and provided further that no termination of employment that is carried out at the request of a person seeking to accomplish a Change in Control (as determined by the SPGI Board) or otherwise in anticipation of a Change in Control (as determined by the SPGI Board) shall be deemed to be for “Cause”.
XI. SPECIAL AWARDS AND OTHER PLANS
Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any of its subsidiaries from granting special performance or recognition awards, under such conditions and in such form and manner as it sees fit, to employees (including Participants) for meritorious service of any nature; provided, however, that any such grant of an special performance or recognition award to an individual who is an SPGI EO shall require the approval of the CLDC. 
In addition, nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any of its subsidiaries from establishing other incentive compensation plans providing for the payment of incentive compensation to employees (including Participants).
XII. ADMINISTRATION, AMENDMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THE PLAN
The Company Board shall have the right to amend the Plan from time to time or to repeal it entirely, or to direct the discontinuance of cash Awards either temporarily or permanently; provided, however, that:
(i)            No amendment of the Plan shall operate to annul, without the consent of the Participant, an Award already made hereunder; and
(ii)           In the event the Plan is terminated before the last day of the Performance Period, Awards will be prorated on the basis of the ratio of the number of full calendar days in such Performance Period prior to such termination to the number of full calendar days in the Performance Period and will be paid in accordance with Article VIII.
The Plan will be administered by the Company Board; provided, however, that (i) the Company Committee and the SPGI Board shall be permitted to make certain determinations under the Plan as set forth herein and (ii) actions related to the grant or Payout of an Award to a Participant who is an SPGI EO shall require the approval of the CLDC. The decisions of the Company Board, the Company Committee, the SPGI Board or CLDC, as applicable, with respect to any questions arising in connection with the administration or interpretation of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding.  In the event of any conflict between a determination of the Company Board or the Company Committee, on the one hand, 

and the SPGI Board or CLDC, on the other, the determination of the SPGI Board or CLDC, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding.  Neither the Company nor SPGI (or any subsidiary, affiliate, director, employee or other service provider thereof) makes any representation to any Participant with respect to the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to such Participant’s Awards.
XIII. MISCELLANEOUS
All expenses and costs in connection with the operation of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
All Awards under the Plan are subject to withholding, where applicable, for federal, state and local taxes.
Unless otherwise determined by the Company Board, all Awards will be paid from the Company’s general assets, and nothing contained in the Plan will require the Company to set aside or hold in trust any funds for the benefit of any Participant, who will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
Awards issued under the Plan shall be subject to the requirements of the S&P Global Inc. Pay Recovery Policy (the “Policy”) (or any successor policy or requirement), as in effect from time to time, and amounts paid or payable to the Participant under or in respect of the Award shall, if applicable, be subject to recovery or other action pursuant to and as, and to the extent, provided by the applicable Policy (or any successor policy or requirement), as in effect from time to time.
Awards issued under the Plan are intended to provide for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to meet the requirements of Section 409(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, and the Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with this intent.
The Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Participant’s employment or other service at any time.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no right or benefit under the Plan will be subject to alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge such right or benefit will be void.  No such right or benefit will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, or torts of a Participant.
If any provision in the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, no other provision of the Plan will be affected thereby.
The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable United States federal law and, to the extent not preempted by such federal law, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Non-U.S. Participant, this Award shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and any special terms and conditions, of such Participant’s country of residence (and primary country of employment, if different), but limited to the extent required by local law.  By accepting an Award, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company or SPGI, as may be required to allow the Company or SPGI to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and primary country of employment, if different).

be treated as a distribution for purposes of Sections 401(a)(11) and 411(d)(6)(B)(ii) of the Code. Each such In-Plan Roth Rollover shall be subject to its own 5-taxable
year period of participation and subject to the requirements of Code Section 408A(d)(3)(F).

following Paragraph 5 shall be added to Article VII 
 5.    Permissible Types of Company Contributions 

Contributions by and from the Company to the Trust and Plan may be made in cash or other property in kind; provided, that no assets may be
contributed if such contribution would constitute a prohibited transaction under Code Section 4975, or corresponding provisions of Section 406 of ERISA, if applicable. 

16.    Effective January 1, 2018, the second sentence of the second paragraph of Article VIII, Paragraph 2 is amended

and Trust shall be determined by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion, shall be established as hereinabove provided, and regularly listed and described to Participants by written information and memoranda, and by
electronic media, furnished by and at the direction of the Committee from time to time. The investment options shall include ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock and other investments determined by the Committee or required hereunder. It is
intended that the investment options shall provide Participants investment alternatives which will provide a Participant with a reasonable opportunity to materially affect the potential return on amounts in his/her Plan account and the degree of
risk to which such amounts are subject, and to choose from at least three (3) investment options, each of which is diversified, has materially different risk and return characteristics, and which in the aggregate enable the Participant to
achieve investment direction of risk and return characteristics within the range normally appropriate for such Participant, and when combined with investments in other alternatives will tend to allow reasonable diversification so as to minimize risk
of losses, taking into account all circumstances. 
 A Participant may, by written, telephone voice response or internet direction to the
Committee, and in turn to the Trustee, as provided above, direct that his/her deposits and account, the Company’s contributions and any other cash be deposited in such investment options. 

A Participant who was a Participant in the Prior ONEOK, Inc. Thrift Plan or the KGS 401(k) Thrift Plan may retain in his/her account stock or
securities which were his/her prior directed investments in such Plans to the extent, and as the Committee may prescribe by written memoranda and instructions pertaining to the Plan. The Committee may prescribe the manner in which dividends or other
amounts received from such retained investments may be invested, and may limit or prescribe additional investment or reinvestment in such stock or securities. 

Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or as may be necessary for the Committee to satisfy its fiduciary duties and
obligations under ERISA, the Plan shall provide for an investment option that is comprised of shares of ONE Gas, Inc. common stock issued under the Plan to Participants as a dividend to shareholders of ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock in connection with
the Separation (as described in Article XXV). Any such investment in ONE Gas, Inc. common stock after the Separation shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan applicable to other Plan investment options except that (1) the investment in
ONE Gas, Inc. common stock is authorized by the Company solely to enable Participants who own ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock under the Plan to participate in the Separation under the same terms as other shareholders of ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock;
(2) the Committee shall not have the discretion to eliminate ONE Gas, Inc. common stock as an investment option unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that ONE Gas, Inc. is insolvent or
otherwise in danger of imminent collapse;

(2)    after the Separation, no additional shares of ONE Gas, Inc. common stock may be purchased in any manner whether by deposit, exchange, transfer, reinvestment of
dividends or otherwise; (3) ONE Gas, Inc. common stock shall not be subject to the diversification requirement (under the meaning of 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA applicable to other Plan investment options); and (4) Participants
shall be notified of the importance of diversifying their overall investment portfolio. 
 Except to the extent otherwise required by
applicable law or as may be necessary for the Committee to satisfy its fiduciary duties and obligations under ERISA, the Plan shall provide for an investment option that is comprised of ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of

time to time, and for such periods of time as the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be necessary and appropriate for administration of the Plan and Trust, including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining the amount and timing
of ESOP Dividend Distributions and ESOP Dividend Distribution/Additional Deferral Contributions under the Plan. The Committee may direct such limitations, suspensions and restrictions to be made, and cause Participants and the Trustee to be given
notice thereof, in the manner it determines reasonable and practical in the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not have the discretion to eliminate ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock as an investment option under the
Plan, and the continued availability of ONEOK, Inc. common stock as an investment option under the Plan shall be presumed prudent, unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company is insolvent or otherwise in danger of
imminent collapse.

fluctuations in market conditions and other circumstances, and the Company, Committee and Trustee do not warrant or guarantee, by or under the Plan or otherwise, the value of any security or other investment directed by a Participant hereunder. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the investment by a Participant who is a Section 16 Person shall be subject to the limitations and
restrictions and other provisions of paragraph 8 of this Article IX, below, with respect to any Discretionary Transactions involving the investment of his/her deposits, the Company’s contributions and any other cash attributable to his/her
account. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, no member of the Committee who is a senior officer and
reports directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall be permitted to vote on the continued availability of ONEOK, Inc. Common Stock as an investment option under the Plan. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, the common stock of Westar Energy, Inc. shall be eliminated as an
investment option under the Plan upon the earlier to occur of (1) the effective date of the merger of Westar Energy, Inc. with or 

  
 6 

 
acquisition by Great Plains Energy, Inc. or any affiliated entity; or (2) June 30, 2017. Participants who own shares of Westar Energy, Inc. in their Plan Account immediately prior to
consummation of the transaction contemplated in option (1) above will participate in such transaction on the same financial terms as regular shareholders of Westar Energy, Inc. common stock, but will only receive cash instead of a combination
of cash and Great Plains Energy, Inc. common stock. Participants who own shares of Westar Energy, Inc. in their Plan Account on the date specified in option (2) above will be deemed to have elected to sell all of their Westar Energy, Inc.
shares on such date in accordance with the Plan’s terms. All proceeds from the liquidation of Westar Energy, Inc. common stock, whether the result of option (1) or option (2) above, shall be reinvested in the Participant’s Plan
Account according to the Participant’s existing investment elections on file with the Plan Administrator.

 ADDENDUM A 

INTRODUCTION 
 Effective as of the
end of the day on December 31, 2018 (the “Merger Date”), the ONEOK, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan/Plan”) shall be merged with and into, and continued in the form of, the ONEOK, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the
“401(k) Plan”). The merger of the Profit Sharing Plan with and into the 401(k) Plan (and the corresponding transfer of assets) shall comply with Sections 401(a)(12), 411(d)(6), and 414(l) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. All
assets of the Profit Sharing Plan (collectively the “Transferred Benefits”) shall be transferred into the 401(k) Plan effective as of January 1, 2019. The purpose of this Addendum is to provide for the Plan merger. 

All Code Section 411(d)(6) benefits accrued under the Profit Sharing Plan have been continued under the 401(k) Plan and shall be protected under the
401(k) Plan to the extent required by law. The Profit Sharing Plan will continue to provide allocations on or after the Effective Date. The 401(k) Plan will hold and maintain the Transferred Benefits from the Profit Sharing Plan in a separate
subaccount until the Participants receive their Plan distributions. In connection with the transfer of assets, the ONEOK common stock fund relating to the Profit Sharing Plan will be consolidated operationally by the transfer of the assets solely to
the 401(k) Plan, within the ONEOK, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan account under the 401(k) Plan and shall thereafter be governed by the terms of the 401(k) Plan. 

The terms and conditions of the Profit Sharing Plan are hereby incorporated by reference, solely as applicable, to the extent necessary to give effect to the
foregoing paragraphs. 
 Terms used in this Addendum A shall, unless defined in this Addendum A or otherwise noted, have the meaning given to those terms
elsewhere in the Plan.

 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
 The
following definitions apply for purposes of this Addendum A, unless otherwise stated: 
  

	 	1.1.	 “Compensation” means the total annual base salary plus any lump sum merit pay and promotion awards,
gainshare awards, cash incentive compensation, commissions, overtime pay, and shift differentials paid to a Participant by the Company, but excluding amounts credited by the Company under a plan of deferred compensation to the extent that such
notional contributions are not includible in gross income of the Participant for the taxable year in which notionally contributed. Provided, that any reduction in salary elected and deferred by the Participant under the cash or deferred arrangement
under the 401(k) Plan or any other defined contribution or deferred compensation plan established or maintained by the Company, or under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(8) and 457 pursuant to the employee benefit plans of the Company shall be
included in determining compensation hereunder. For purposes of this definition incentive compensation shall be treated as paid to a Participant at the time of actual payment. A determination or the interpretation of this definition as to whether
any particular item or amount constitutes or is within one of the foregoing stated words or terms shall be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as the Plan administrator, as authorized and provided for under Article XV, Paragraph 2 of the
401(k) Plan. 

 For any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2018, the annual compensation of each Participant taken
into account in determining allocations shall not exceed Two Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($280,000), as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code
Section 401(a)(17)(B). Annual compensation means compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the
determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within
such calendar year. 
  

	 	1.1A	 “Day of Service” means a calendar day on which an Employee is employed by the Company and
which is a day of service as recognized and described for purposes of determining the allocation of contributions and for other related purposes to the extent and as provided for in 29 CFR §2530.200b-2
and §2530.200b-3 in the Department of Labor regulations and in Paragraph 35 of Article I of the Plan, above, defining the term Hours of Service and an equivalency in Days of Service.

  

	 	1.2.	 “Early Retirement Age” means age 50. 

 

	 	1.3.	 “Early Retirement Date” means the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the
date the Participant terminates employment by Retirement after he or she attains his or her Early Retirement Age and prior to attaining the Normal Retirement Age. 

  
 2 

	 	1.4	 “Effective Date” means January 1, 2019, except as provided herein, or to the extent
required pursuant to a statute or regulation. 

  

	 	1.5.	 “Employer Stock” means common stock issued by the Employer or an Affiliate, which stock is
readily tradable on an established securities market. If there is no common stock which meets the foregoing requirement, the term “Employer Stock” means common stock issued by the Employer or an Affiliate having a combination of voting
power and dividend rights equal to or in excess of (a) that class of common stock of the issuer having the greatest voting power, and (b) that class of common stock of the issuer having the greatest dividend rights. Noncallable preferred
stock shall be deemed to be Employer Stock if such stock is convertible at any time into stock which constitutes Employer Stock hereunder and if such conversion is at a conversion price which (as of the date of the acquisition by the Trust) is
reasonable. For purposes of the preceding sentence, pursuant to regulations under 409(e) of the Code, preferred stock shall be treated as noncallable if after the call there will be a reasonable opportunity for a conversion which meets the
requirements of the preceding sentence. 

  

	 	1.6	 “Group C Employee” means an Employee who is not represented by a collective bargaining unit or
organization and who is a Group C Employee, as defined in the Retirement Plan (as herein defined), which definition of Group C Employee in the said Retirement Plan, as amended thereunder from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference for all

	 	1.7.	 “Hours of Service” means all hours for which the Employee is either directly or indirectly
compensated by the Company for performing duties for the Company. These hours are to be credited to the Employee in the computation period during which the duties were performed and not when paid. The determination of the Hours of Service for
reasons other than the performance of duties shall be made in accordance with 29 CFR §2530.200b-2(b) in the Department of Labor regulations. The determination of the computation to which the Hours of
Service are credited shall be made in accordance with Section 29 CFR §2530.200b-2(c) in the Department of Labor regulations; and based on an equivalency to days, referred to and defined in the Plan
as Days of Service, as recognized and permitted in 29 CFR§ 2530.200b-3 of Department of Labor regulations. The rate of equivalency used pursuant to such regulations and pursuant to the Plan under this
paragraph shall not be considered to apply or control with respect to any other determination of hours of service or other periods of service in any other context or for any other purposes aside from the Plan, unless specifically stated.
Accordingly, the Plan shall determine the number of Hours of Service to be credited to Employees under the Plan in any quarter or other computation period by the Employee being credited with ten (10) hours of service for each Day of Service for
which the Employee would be required to be credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service under 29 CFR §2530.200b-2 in the Department of Labor regulations. Credit is also to be given for each hour of
back pay for which back pay has been awarded or agreed to by the Employer, and these hours are to be credited to the Employee in the computation period during which back pay has been awarded or agreed to be given by the Employer, and these hours are
to be credited to the Employee in the computation period during which duties were performed not paid. Based upon the foregoing, an Employee should be 

  
 3 

	 	
credited with Days of Service and equivalent Hours of Service for any customary period of work during which no duties are performed by the Employee in his/her job due to the Employee being absent
for any authorized reason in accordance with established Company policy and procedure, including, without limitation, being laid off for a temporary period, on a Company-approved leave of absence, on sick or disability leave, or on jury or military
duty, or if the Employee is not working due to a labor-management dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than five hundred one (501) Hours of Service and its equivalency in Days of Service under this paragraph shall be credited for any
single continuous period for which an Employee is paid or entitled to payment on account of a period of time during which the Employee performs no duties of his/her job (whether or not such single continuous period occurs in a single quarter of a
Plan Year or Plan Year). This paragraph and definition shall be construed so as to resolve any ambiguities in favor of crediting Employees with service with respect to the Plan. 

 

	 	1.8	 “Normal Retirement Age” means age 65. 

 

	 	1.9	 “Normal Retirement Date” means the first day of the month coinciding with or next following
the date the Participant attains his or her Normal Retirement Age.

	 	1.16	 “Retirement” means the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company by
retirement on or after he or she has attained at least his or her Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age.

The Accrued Benefit of a Participant that has not been distributed after the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company

determined and prescribed by the Committee of the right to defer receipt of distribution to the extent provided in the Plan. To receive a distribution of the Accrued Benefit the Participant must consent in writing or by electronic or other means
determined and prescribed by the Committee to the distribution prior to the time of distribution in the form and manner required by the Committee. No significant detriment shall be imposed under the Plan on any Participant who does not consent to

made the affirmative or deemed election to defer receipt of his/her Participant Account under Paragraph 6 of Article XI of the 401(k) Plan, dies before a complete distribution of the Participant Account has been made, then upon his/her death,
his/her entire Participant Account balance shall be distributed to his/her surviving Spouse, beneficiaries, or legatees in the same manner as in the case of a Participant’s death prior to other termination of his/her employment with the
Company.

consents to the distribution thereof in writing or by electronic or other means determined and prescribed by the Committee, which consent may be given by the Spouse at any time in the manner
prescribed by the Committee. The distribution to a Spouse upon such consent being received shall be in the form of a cash lump sum distribution. Provided, that the distribution of the Accrued Benefit shall be made to the Spouse in the form of a cash
lump sum distribution not later than the time the deceased Participant or deceased terminated Participant, as applicable, would have attained his/her Normal Retirement Age or age sixty-two (62) whichever

feasible notwithstanding that a request or consent of the surviving Spouse has not been received by the Committee and Plan.
