following the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, at the time(s) and in the form(s) provided by the applicable sections of this Agreement, a portion of the Cash Severance Amount equal to the Minimum Amount, and (y) the

 Payment to a Participant shall commence upon the first Qualifying Distribution 

  

 8 

 
Event to occur as to the Participant: a Separation from Service, death, or, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, becoming Disabled or a Change in Control
Event. Any of these events that occurs after the first Qualifying Distribution Event to occur shall have no effect on the time or form of distribution of Plan benefits. 
 5.1 Separation from Service. If the Participant Separates from Service with the Employer, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of separation, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as
provided in Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made earlier than six months after the date of Separation from Service with respect to a Participant who, as of the date of his Separation from Service, is a

 5.2 Disability. The Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement whether (i) a Participant’s becoming Disabled shall not be a Qualifying Distribution Event, (ii) a Participant’s becoming Disabled shall be a
Qualifying Distribution Event, or (iii) a Participant’s becoming Disabled may be a Qualifying Distribution Event if a Participant timely and affirmatively elects upon his initial enrollment to make becoming Disabled an applicable
Qualifying Distribution Event for his benefit. If becoming Disabled is a Qualifying Distribution Event for a Participant and the Participant becomes Disabled, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of the Participant’s becoming Disabled,
shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in Section 6. 
  

 9 

 5.3 Death. If the Participant dies, the Participant’s Vested Accrued
Benefit, as of the date of death, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in Section 6. 
 5.4 Change in Control
Event. The Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement whether (i) a Change in Control Event shall not be a Qualifying Distribution Event, (ii) a Change in Control Event shall be a Qualifying Distribution Event, or (iii) a
Change in Control Event may be a Qualifying Distribution Event if a Participant timely and affirmatively elects upon his initial enrollment to make a Change in Control Event an applicable Qualifying Distribution Event for his benefit. If a Change in
Control Event is a Qualifying Distribution Event for a Participant and the Change in Control Event occurs, the Vested Accrued Benefit, as of the date of the Change in Control Event, shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in
Section 6. 
 5.5 No Duplicate Benefits. The benefit payments in this Section 5 are alternative benefits. By
accepting the benefits pursuant to any one of the subsections of Section 5, the Participant shall forfeit any rights under any other of the subsections of Section 5. 
 Section 6. Payment of Benefits: 
 6.1 Normal Form of Benefit Distribution. Unless an optional form of benefit is elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.2, all benefits shall be payable in the Normal Form designated for each
Qualifying Distribution Event by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Normal Form is a joint and survivor annuity but the Participant is not married at the time his benefit payment commences, his Vested
Accrued Benefit shall be payable in the form of a straight life annuity on an Actuarial Equivalent basis. 
  

 10 

 6.2 Optional Form of Benefit Distribution. The Employer shall designate in the
Adoption Agreement the optional forms of benefit distribution for each Qualifying Distribution Event, if any, which may be elected by the Participant. In lieu of the Normal Form described in Section 6.1, and subject to the Election Procedures
under Section 6.3, the Participant may elect an optional form of benefit distribution from among the designated payment options. Payment shall be made in the manner elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect a different method of
payment for each Qualifying Distribution Event as specified in the Adoption Agreement. Any optional form elected shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Normal Form. 
 6.3 Election Procedures. Prior to the Participant’s entry into the Plan, the Participant shall elect the form of payment under which his benefit will be distributed from among the available
optional forms of payment to the extent permitted in the Adoption Agreement. If the Participant elects to receive his benefit in the form of a joint and survivor annuity but is not married at the time his benefit payment commences, his Vested
Accrued Benefit shall be paid in the form of a straight life annuity on an Actuarial Equivalent basis. If the Participant fails to elect a form of payment as provided for in this Section 6.3, the Participant’s Vested Accrued Benefit shall
be paid to him in the Normal Form. 
 6.4 Subsequent Elections. With the consent of the Committee, a Participant may
change the time or form of benefit payment subject to the following requirements: 
 6.4.1 The new election may not
take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the new election is made. 
 6.4.2 If the new election
relates to a payment for reasons other than the death of the Participant or the Participant becoming Disabled, the new election must provide for the deferral of the payment for a period of at least five years from the date such payment would
otherwise have been made. 
 For this purpose, a payment is each separately identified amount to which a Participant is entitled 

  

 11 

 
under the Plan; provided, that entitlement to a life annuity (including a straight life or joint and survivor annuity) or installments for a period certain
is treated as entitlement to a single payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in the form of payment from one type of life annuity to another type of life annuity before any annuity payment has been made is not considered a change in the
time or form of payment under Section 409A of the Code and so such a change is not subject to the requirements of this Section 6.4. 
 6.5 Commencement of Benefits. Benefit payments will commence as soon as practicable after (but no later than 60 days after) the commencement dates designated in the Adoption Agreement for each Qualifying Distribution Event. A
payment may be further delayed to the extent permitted in accordance with regulations and guidance under Section 409A of the Code. 
 6.6 Adjustment Before Normal Retirement Date. If a Participant’s Plan benefits begin to be paid before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the amount of the benefit shall be adjusted as designated in the
Adoption Agreement. 
 6.7 Frequency of Benefit Payments. The benefit payments shall be paid on the frequency designated
in the Adoption Agreement. Payments on a monthly basis shall be one-twelfth of the annual benefit amount, and payments on a quarterly basis shall be one-fourth of the annual benefit amount. 
 6.8 De Minimis Amounts. Notwithstanding any payment election made by the Participant, the Present Value of the Vested Accrued Benefit
of the Participant (including the adjustments in Section 4.4) at the time of a permitted Qualifying Distribution Event will be distributed in a single lump sum payment if such Present Value does not exceed the amount designated by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement. Such payment shall be made on or 

  

 12 

 
before the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the permitted Qualifying Distribution Event occurs, or (ii) the date that is
2-1/2 months after the permitted Qualifying Distribution Event occurs. In addition, the Employer may distribute a single lump sum payment equal to the Present Value of a Participant’s Vested Accrued Benefit at anytime if the amount does not
exceed the limit in Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code and results in the termination of the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan as provided under Section 409A of the Code. For this purpose, the Vested Accrued Benefit is
determined as if the Participant had Separated from Service on such date and includes the adjustments in Sections 4.4. 
 6.9 Acceleration
Prohibited. The acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment due under the Plan is prohibited except as expressly provided in regulations and administrative guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (such as accelerations
for domestic relations orders and employment taxes). It is not an acceleration of the time or schedule of payment if the Employer waives or accelerates the vesting requirements applicable to a benefit under the Plan. 
 Section 7. Administration by Committee: 
 7.1 Membership of Committee. If the Committee consists of individuals appointed by the Board, they will serve at the pleasure of the Board. Any member of the Committee may resign, and his successor,
if any, shall be appointed by the Board. 
 7.2 General Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the
operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions. The Committee shall have the full authority and discretion to make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan
and decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with this Plan. Any 

  

 13 

 
such action taken by the Committee shall be final and conclusive on any party. To the extent the Committee has been granted discretionary authority under the
Plan, the Committee’s prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and
reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by the Employer with respect to the Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to such agents, including employees of
the Employer, such administrative or other duties as it sees fit. 
 7.3 Indemnification. To the extent not covered by
insurance, the Employer shall indemnify the Committee, each employee, officer, director, and agent of the Employer, and all persons formerly serving in such capacities, against any and all liabilities or expenses, including all legal fees relating
thereto, arising in connection with the exercise of their duties and responsibilities with respect to the Plan, provided however that the Employer shall not indemnify any person for liabilities or expenses due to that person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 8. Contractual Liability: 
 8.1 Contractual Liability. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to make all payments
hereunder. This obligation shall constitute a contractual liability of the Company to the Participants, and such payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company. The Company shall not be required to establish or maintain any special or
separate fund, or otherwise to segregate assets to assure that such payments shall be made, and the Participants shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any
person 

  

 14 

 
acquires a right to receive payment from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 8.2 Trust. The Employer may establish a trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Any such trust shall conform to
the requirements of a grantor trust under Revenue Procedures 92-64 and 92-65 and at all times during the continuance of the trust the principal and income of the trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of the Employer under federal and
state law. The establishment of such a trust would not be intended to cause Participants to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto, and the trust would be so interpreted and administered.

	 	9.1	Board.

be submitted from time to time; and 

  

	 	(vii)	To administer the claims procedure to the extent provided in Section 14. 

 Section 10. Benefits Not Assignable; Facility of Payments: 
 10.1 Benefits Not
Assignable. No portion of any benefit credited or paid under the Plan with respect to any Participant shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so
to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, nor shall any portion of such benefit be in any manner payable to any assignee, receiver or any one trustee, or be liable for his debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements or torts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all or any portion of the benefit of a Participant is transferred to the former Spouse of the Participant incident to a divorce, the Committee shall maintain such
amount for the benefit of the former Spouse until distributed in the manner required by an order of any court having jurisdiction over the divorce, and the former Spouse shall be entitled to the same rights as the Participant with respect to such
benefit. 
 10.2 Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Orders. The Committee shall establish procedures for determining whether
an order directed to the Plan is a Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order. If the Committee determines that an order is a Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order, the Committee shall cause the payment of amounts pursuant to (and prevent any payment
or act which might be inconsistent with) the Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order.

 10.3 Payments to Minors and Others. If any individual entitled to receive a payment
under the Plan shall be physically, mentally or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of such payment, the Committee, upon the receipt of satisfactory evidence of his incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or
institution is maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so maintaining him. Payment to such person or institution shall be
in full satisfaction of all claims by or through the Participant to the extent of the amount thereof. 
 Section 11.
Beneficiary: 
 The Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person, persons, entity or entities designated by the Participant
on the beneficiary designation form provided by and filed with the Committee or its designee. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary and
has no Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. The designation of a Beneficiary may be changed or revoked only by filing a new Beneficiary designation form with the Committee or its designee. If a Beneficiary (the
“primary Beneficiary”) is receiving or is entitled to receive payments under the Plan and dies before receiving all of the payments due him, the remaining payments to which he is entitled shall be paid to the contingent Beneficiary, if
any, named in the Participant’s current beneficiary designation form. If there is no contingent Beneficiary, the remaining payments shall be paid to the estate of the primary Beneficiary. Any Beneficiary may disclaim all or any part of any
benefit to which such Beneficiary shall be entitled hereunder by filing a written disclaimer with the Committee before payment of such benefit is to be made. Such a disclaimer shall be made in a form satisfactory to the Committee and shall be
irrevocable 

  

 17 

 
when filed. Any benefit disclaimed shall be payable from the Plan in the same manner as if the Beneficiary who filed the disclaimer had predeceased the
Participant. 
 Section 12. Amendment and Termination of the Plan: 
 The Company may amend any provision of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, that in no event shall such amendment or termination reduce
the Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the date of such amendment or termination, nor shall any such amendment or termination affect the terms of the Plan relating to the payment of such benefit. For the purpose of this section, the Accrued
Benefit on the date of termination is determined as if the Participant had Separated from Service on such date and includes any adjustments in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special provisions shall apply: 

12.1 Termination in the Discretion of the Employer. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 12.2, the Company in its discretion may terminate
the Plan and distribute benefits to Participants subject to the following requirements and any others specified under Section 409A of the Code: 
 12.1.1 All arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 1.409A-l(c) of the Treasury Regulations are terminated. 
 12.1.2 No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the termination had not occurred are
made within 12 months of the termination date. 
 12.1.3 All benefits under the Plan are paid within 24 months of the
termination date. 
 12.1.4 The Employer does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan under
Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations providing for the deferral of compensation at any time within 3 years following the date of termination of the Plan. 
 12.1.5 The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Employer. 
 12.2 Termination Upon Change in Control Event. If the Company terminates the Plan within thirty days preceding or twelve months following a Change
in Control Event, the 

  

 18 

 
Accrued Benefit of each Participant shall become fully vested and payable to the Participant in a lump sum within twelve months following the date of
termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 Section 13. Communication to Participants:

 The Employer shall make a copy of the Plan available for inspection by Participants and their beneficiaries during reasonable hours at
the principal office of the Employer. 
 Section 14. Claims Procedure: 
 The following claims procedure shall apply with respect to the Plan: 
 14.1 Filing of a Claim for Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) believes that he is entitled to benefits under the Plan which are not being paid to him or which are not being
accrued for his benefit, he shall file a written claim therefore with the Committee. 
 14.2 Notification to Claimant of Decision.
Within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Committee (or within 180 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special
circumstances requiring an extension of time, there shall be furnished to the claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-day period written notice of the extension, which notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the
decision shall be furnished. If such claim shall be wholly or partially denied, notice thereof shall be in writing and worded in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for
the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information 

  

 19 

 
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
procedure for review of the denial and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the claim relates to a disability determination, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision within 45 days (which may be extended for an additional 30 days if required by special circumstances). 
 14.3 Procedure for Review. Within 60 days following receipt by the claimant of notice denying his claim, in whole or in part, or, if such notice
shall not be given, within 60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have been timely given, the claimant may appeal denial of the claim by filing a written application for review with the Committee. Following such request for
review, the Committee shall fully and fairly review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the Committee, the claimant shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing.

 14.4 Decision on Review. The decision on review of a claim denied in whole or in part by the Committee shall be made in the
following manner: 
 14.4.1 Within 60 days following receipt by the Committee of the request for review (or within 120
days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the claimant in writing of its decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, written notice of
the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates to a disability determination, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision within 45 days
(which may be extended for an additional 45 days if required by special circumstances). 
 14.4.2 With respect to a
claim that is denied in whole or in part, the decision on review shall set forth specific reasons for the decision, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall set forth: 
  

	 	(i)	the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; 

  

 20 

	 	(ii)	specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to
the claimant’s claim for benefits; and 

  

	 	(iv)	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of
the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a). 

 14.4.3 The decision of the
Committee shall be final and conclusive. 
 14.5 Action by Authorized Representative of Claimant. All actions set forth in this
Section 14 to be taken by the claimant may likewise be taken by a representative of the claimant duly authorized by him to act in his behalf on such matters. The Committee may require such evidence as either may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable of the authority to act of any such representative. 
 Section 15. Miscellaneous Provisions: 
 15.1 Set off. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Employer may reduce the amount of any payment otherwise payable to or on behalf
of a Participant hereunder (net of any required withholdings) at the time payment is due by the amount of any loan, cash advance, extension of credit or other obligation of the Participant to the Employer that is then due and payable, and the
Participant shall be deemed to have consented to such reduction. In addition, the Employer may at any time offset a Participant’s Accrued Benefit by an amount up to $5,000 to collect any such amount in accordance with requirements under
Section 409A of the Code. 
 15.2 Notices. Each Participant who is not in Service and each Beneficiary shall be responsible for
furnishing the Committee or its designee with his current address for the 

  

 21 

 
mailing of notices and benefit payments. Any notice required or permitted to be given to such Participant or Beneficiary shall be deemed given if directed to
such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid. If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant or Beneficiary
furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by other publication. 
 15.3 Lost Distributees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Committee is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is
due on or before the fifth anniversary of the date payment is to be made or commence; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary for all or part of the
forfeited benefit. 
 15.4 Reliance on Data. The Employer and the Committee shall have the right to rely on any data provided by the
Participant or by any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant, and the Employer and the Committee shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any
representation made at any time by a Participant or Beneficiary. 
 15.5 Receipt and Release for Payments. Subject to the provisions
of Section 15.1, any payment made from the Plan to or with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary, or pursuant to a disclaimer by a Beneficiary, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Plan
and the Employer with respect to the Plan. The recipient of any payment from the Plan may be required by the Committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release with respect thereto in such form as shall be
acceptable 

  

 22 

 
to the Committee. 
 15.6 Headings. The
headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. 
 15.7 Continuation of Employment. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any Employee or any persons for continuation of employment, nor shall it
interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Employee or to deal with him without regard to the effect thereof under the Plan. 
 15.8 Merger or Consolidation; Assumption of Plan. No Employer shall consolidate or merge into or with another corporation or entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, partnership, trust or
other entity (a “Successor Entity”) unless such Successor Entity shall assume the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan and upon such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms
and conditions of the Plan. Nothing herein shall prohibit the assumption of the obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan by any Successor Entity. 
 15.9 Construction. The Employer shall designate in the Adoption Agreement the state according to whose laws the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced, except to the extent that such laws are
superseded by ERISA and the applicable requirements of the Code. 
 15.10 Taxes. The Employer or other payor may withhold a benefit
payment under the Plan or a Participant’s wages, or the Employer may reduce a Participant’s benefits, in order to meet any federal, state, local or employment tax withholding obligations with respect to Plan benefits, as permitted under
Section 409A of the Code. The Employer or other payor shall report Plan payments and other Plan-related information to the appropriate governmental 

  

 23 

 
agencies as required under applicable laws.

elect on or before December 31, 2008, the time or form of payment of amounts subject to Section 409A of the Code provided that such election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in the year of the election and does
not cause an amount to paid in the year of the election that would not otherwise be payable in such year.
