created a tranche of MBNAseries Class A Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture and the MBNAseries Indenture Supplement to be known as the “MBNAseries Class A(2006-5) Notes.” 
 Section 2.02. Specification of Required Subordinated Amount and other Terms. 
 (a) For the Class A(2006-5) Notes for any date of determination, the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of Class B Notes will be an amount equal
to 8.82353% of (i) the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2006-5) Notes on such date or (ii) if an Early Redemption Event with respect to the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall have occurred, if an Event of Default and
acceleration of the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall have occurred or if the Class A Usage of the Class B Required Subordinated Amount for such tranche of Class A Notes is greater than zero, the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of
the Class A(2006-5) Notes as of close of business on the day immediately preceding the occurrence of such Early Redemption Event, such Event of Default and acceleration or the date on which the Class A Usage of Class B Required Subordinated
Amount exceeded zero. 
 (b) For the Class A(2006-5) Notes for any date of determination, the Class A Required Subordinated Amount of
Class C Notes will be an amount equal to 8.82353% of (i) the Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2006-5) Notes on such date or (ii) if an Early Redemption Event with respect to the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall have
occurred, if an Event of Default and acceleration of the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall have occurred or if the Class A Usage of the Class C Required Subordinated Amount for such tranche of Class A Notes is greater than zero, the Adjusted
Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2006-5) Notes as of close of business on the day immediately preceding the occurrence of such Early Redemption Event, such Event of Default and acceleration or the date on which the Class A
Usage of Class C Required Subordinated Amount exceeded zero. 
 (c) The Issuer may change the percentages set forth in clause (a) or
(b) above without the consent of any Noteholder so long as the Issuer has (i) received written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Notes of the MBNAseries that the change in either of such percentages
will not result in a Ratings Effect with respect to any Outstanding Class A(2006-5) Notes and (ii) delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion. 
 Section 2.03. Interest Payment. 
 (a) For each Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest due with respect to the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall be an amount equal to the product of (i)(A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related
Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (B) the Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to the related Interest Period, times (ii) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A(2006-5) Notes
determined as of the Record Date preceding the related Transfer Date. Interest on the Class A(2006-5) Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and a 360-day year. 
  

 6 

 (b) Pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture Supplement, on each Transfer Date, the
Indenture Trustee shall deposit into the Class A(2006-5) Interest Funding sub-Account the portion of MBNAseries Available Funds allocable to the Class A(2006-5) Notes. 
 Section 2.04. Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR. 
 (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for
so long as any Class A(2006-5) Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee
as the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if
the Calculation Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuer may not remove the Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed. 
 (b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such date (or, for the first Interest Period, the rate that corresponds to the actual number of days in the first Interest Period). If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on
the basis of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. The Calculation Agent
shall request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in New York City, selected by the Beneficiary, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period. 
 (c) The Note Interest Rate
applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office at (212) 815-3247 or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the
Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder from time to time. 
 (d) On each
LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall send to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period. 
 Section 2.05. Payments of Interest and Principal. 
 (a) Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Class A(2006-5) Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Interest Payment Date
or Principal Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose name such Class A(2006-5) Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is 

  

 7 

 
registered on the Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Person’s account as has been designated by written instructions
received by the Paying Agent from such Person not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the date of payment or, if no such account has been so designated, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid to such
Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of Cede & Co., payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. 
 (b) The right of the Class A(2006-5) Noteholders to receive payments from the
Issuer will terminate on the first Business Day following the Class A(2006-5) Termination Date. 
 Section 2.06. Form of Delivery of
Class A(2006-5) Notes; Depository; Denominations. 
 (a) The Class A(2006-5) Notes shall be delivered in the form of a global Registered
Note as provided in Sections 202 and 301(i) of the Indenture, respectively. 
 (b) The Depository for the Class A(2006-5) Notes
shall be The Depository Trust Company, and the Class A(2006-5) Notes shall initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., its nominee. 
 (c) The Class A(2006-5) Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $5,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount. 
 Section 2.07. Delivery and Payment for the Class A(2006-5) Notes. The Issuer shall execute and deliver the Class A(2006-5) Notes to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, and the Indenture Trustee shall deliver the Class
A(2006-5) Notes when authenticated, each in accordance with Section 303 of the Indenture. 
 Section 2.08. Targeted
Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account. The deposit targeted to be made to the Accumulation Reserve Account for any Monthly Period during the Accumulation Reserve Funding Period will be an amount equal to the Required Accumulation Reserve
sub-Account Amount.

 ARTICLE III 
 Representations and Warranties 
 Section 3.01. Issuer’s Representations and
Warranties. The Issuer makes the following representations and warranties as to the Collateral Certificate on which the Indenture Trustee is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Collateral Certificate. Such representations and warranties speak
as of the execution and delivery of this Terms Document, but shall survive until the termination of this Terms Document. Such representations and warranties shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Terms Document unless the Issuer has
obtained written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that there will be no Ratings Effect with respect to such waiver. 
 (a) The
Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Delaware UCC) in the Collateral Certificate in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against
creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. 
 (b) The Collateral Certificate constitutes either an “account,” a “general
intangible,” an “instrument,” or a “certificated security,” each within the meaning of the Delaware UCC. 
 (c) At
the time of the transfer and assignment of the Collateral Certificate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer owned and had good and marketable title to the Collateral Certificate free and clear of any lien, claim or
encumbrance of any Person.

financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral Certificate granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 
 (e) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a
security interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Collateral Certificate. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral
Certificate other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
filings against the Issuer. 
 (f) All original executed copies of the Collateral Certificate have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

 (g) At the time of the transfer and assignment of the Collateral Certificate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the

 ARTICLE III 
 Eligibility and Participation 
 3.1 Requirements - On or after the Effective
Date, every Covered Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant on the first Entry Date occurring after the date he has met each of the following requirements: 
 3.1.1 He has been, or in the judgment of the Company will be, prevented from maximizing elective deferrals to the 401(k) Plan by reason of the annual limit on elective deferrals imposed by Section 402(g)
of the Internal Revenue Code; and 
 3.1.2 He is individually approved by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, for
participation in the Plan. 
 3.2 Enrollment and Participation - Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Each Covered Employee
may elect to participate in the Plan as of the Entry Date on which he becomes eligible in accordance with Section 3.1. The election to commence or resume participation shall be made by, and only by, completing and delivering to the Company a
Compensation Deferral Agreement on or before the Entry Date. 
 Subject to the right of the Company to terminate the participation of any
Participant at any time (except as provided in Section 3.7), once an Employee has become a Participant his participation in the Plan shall continue (without regard to whether or not a Compensation Deferral Agreement is in effect) throughout his
tenure as an Employee. 
 3.3 Change of Employment Category - During any period in which a Participant remains in the employ of
the Company but ceases to be a Covered Employee, he will continue his Plan participation, but his Account shall not be credited with, nor shall he be entitled to make, any contributions based upon Compensation payable with respect to such period.

 3.4 Leaves of Absence - During any authorized absence from active service under conditions which are not treated by the
Company as a termination of employment, the Employee shall remain as a Participant to the same extent as if he had not taken the leave of absence. 
 3.5 Termination of Employment - Upon termination of a Participant’s employment, his participation in the Plan shall terminate (except as provided in Section 3.7). If an Employee (whether or not a Participant) whose
employment is terminated is subsequently re-employed, he shall be treated as a new Employee who shall be eligible to become a Participant only after again meeting the requirements of Section 3.1 and filing a new Compensation Deferral Agreement
pursuant to Section 3.2. 
 3.6 Failure to Participate on Entry Date - In the event that an Employee who, pursuant to
Section 3.1, is eligible to commence or resume participation on an Entry Date fails to elect to participate as of that Entry Date, he shall not again be eligible to participate until 
  

 4 

 the next, or any subsequent, Entry Date (provided he is still then otherwise eligible for participation). If he does so
elect, his participation shall be effective as of the first Entry Date occurring on or after the date his Compensation Deferral Agreement is filed with the Company. 
 3.7 Inactive Participation - In the event that a Participant’s active participation in the Plan ceases, as described in Section 3.2 or 3.5, he shall nevertheless be deemed to remain as a
Participant for all purposes other than the crediting of further Section 5.2 contributions to his Account, until such time as there is no longer an undistributed balance in his Account. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 Deferral Elections 
 4.1 General - The election by any Participant to defer Compensation pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be made by, and only by, the
filing of a completed Compensation Deferral Agreement (or Compensation Deferral Amendment) with the Company. Subject to the remainder of this ARTICLE IV, deferral elections shall be made at the time, in the manner, and subject to the conditions
specified by the Company. 
 4.2 Timing of Elections - Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2.1 or 4.4, the election
to defer Compensation for a Plan Year shall not be effective unless made prior to the first day of the Plan Year. 
 4.2.1 Initial
Election - The Compensation Deferral Agreement constituting the initial deferral election by an Employee who becomes eligible to commence or resume participation in the Plan, pursuant to Section 3.1 must be filed with the Company on or
before the Employee’s Entry Date. Unless the Entry Date coincides with the last day of a Plan Year, the initial election shall be for the remainder of the current Plan Year. 
 4.2.2 Elections for Subsequent Plan Years - A Participant may make changes in his deferral election (including a revocation of further
deferrals), effective for any Plan Year after his initial Plan Year as a Participant, by filing a completed Compensation Deferral Amendment prior to the first day of the subsequent Plan Year. If a Participant fails to file a completed Compensation
Deferral Amendment prior to a Plan Year, and is still eligible to defer, he will be deemed to have elected to keep his prior election in force for that Plan Year. 
 4.3 Irrevocability of Elections - Except as provided in Section 4.2.1 or 4.4, any Participant electing to make deferral contributions must make an irrevocable election for an entire Plan Year. Once
a Plan Year has begun, a deferral election may not be changed or revoked during the Plan Year (except with respect to deferrals in future Plan Years). 
 4.4 Financial Hardship - Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3, in the event of a Participant’s financial hardship, the Participant may apply to the Company for permission to reduce
or suspend deferral contributions for the remainder of the Plan Year or any part thereof. The Company shall have the sole discretion as to the extent (if at all) it shall grant the Participant’s request. 
  

 5 

 “Financial hardship” shall be defined as financial need arising as a result of a sudden and
unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and
unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, but only where such financial need is not and may not be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or
(ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. 
 ARTICLE V 
 Contributions 
 5.1 Nature of Contributions - Contributions described in this ARTICLE V shall not represent actual deposits to a separate fund or trust,
but shall be bookkeeping entries in the form of credits to the Accounts of the Participants on whose behalf the contributions are made. 
 5.2 Compensation Deferral Contributions - By so electing in his Compensation Deferral Agreement, each Participant may elect to defer Compensation (which would otherwise have been paid to him) in any whole percentage amount
designated by him, provided that such amount is not less than 1%, nor more than 13%, of his Compensation for the Plan Year. In no event, however, shall any Participant’s deferrals for a Plan Year: (i) begin until he has been prevented from
making elective deferrals to the 401(k) Plan by reason of the annual limit on elective deferrals imposed by Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii) exceed $60,000, and the Company may establish such procedures with respect to
timing and amount of individual deferrals by each Participant as it deems appropriate to implement these limitations (other than any procedure which would require or permit the Company to pay to the Participant any Compensation previously deferred
by the Participant pursuant to this Section 5.2, whether during the current or any preceding Plan Year). 
 Pursuant to each
Participant’s deferral election, the Company shall reduce the gross amount of the Participant’s Compensation. In lieu of paying the deferred portion of the Participant’s Compensation to him as earned, the Company will credit to the
Participant’s Account dollar amounts equal to the deferred Compensation, each such credit to be made as of a date no later than fifteen (15) business days after the last day of the month during which the Participant would have been
entitled to such Compensation had it been paid as current Compensation. 
 Any FICA or other payroll tax which may be imposed on the
Participant with respect to deferral contributions shall, unless otherwise determined by the Company, be deducted from the non-deferred remainder of the Participant’s remuneration. 
  

 6 

 ARTICLE VI 
 Participant Accounts 
 6.1 Account Established for Each Participant - An
individual Account shall be established on the books of the Company in the name of each Participant, for the purpose of accounting for contributions credited to, and benefits paid to or on behalf of, the Participant, and to account for incremental
adjustments pursuant to Section 6.3. Each Account shall be divided into such sub-accounts, if any, as the Company deems appropriate to properly implement the provisions of the Plan. 
 6.2 No Funding Requirement - The Company shall not be required to purchase, hold or dispose of any investments with respect to amounts
credited to the Account, its only obligation being to make payments as described in ARTICLE VIII. Should the Company elect to make contributions to a trust (hereinafter referred to as the “Trust”) to assist the Company in paying the
benefits which may accrue hereunder, the amounts contributed shall be used to purchase the deemed investments under Section 6.3, subject to application of the provisions of this Section 6.2 to the actual investments. However, contributions
to the Trust shall not reduce or otherwise affect the Company’s liability to pay benefits under this Plan (which benefits may be paid from the Trust or from the Company’s general assets, in the discretion of the Company), except that the
Company’s liability shall be reduced by actual benefit payments from the Trust (and the Account shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such payments). If any such investments, or any contributions to the Trust, are made by the Company, such
investments shall have been made solely for the purpose of aiding the Company in meeting its obligations under the Plan, and, except for actual contributions to the Trust, no trust or trust fund is intended. To the extent that the Company does, in
its discretion, purchase or hold any such investments (other than through contributions to the Trust), the Company will be named sole owner of all such investments and of all rights and privileges conferred by the terms of the instruments or
certificates evidencing such investments. Nothing stated herein will cause such investments, or the Trust, to form part of the Account, or to be treated as anything but the general assets of the Company, subject to the claims of its general
creditors, nor will anything stated herein cause such investments, or the Trust, to represent the vested, secured or preferred interest of the Participant or his Beneficiaries. The Company shall have the right at any time to use such investments not
held in the Trust in the ordinary course of its business. Neither the Participant nor any of his Beneficiaries shall at any time have any interest in the Account or the Trust or in any such investments, except as a general, unsecured creditor of the
Company to the extent of the deferred compensation arrangement which is the subject of the Plan. 
 6.3 Value Adjustments

 6.3.1 For purposes of this Section 6.3, the following definitions shall be utilized: 
 Common Stock - the common stock of LMI or any successor corporation. 
  

 7 

 Contribution Credit - a dollar amount equal to a contribution credit made to the Account
of a Participant pursuant to ARTICLE V. 
 Credit Date Value - the Value of a share of Common Stock on the fifth business day
after the date as of which a Contribution Credit is made. 
 Dividend Unit - the equivalent of that number of shares of Common
Stock obtained by dividing the amount of any dividend or other distribution paid or made by LMI with respect to a share of Common Stock (but not including a distribution in Common Stock) by 95% of the Value of a share of Common Stock on the fifth
business day after the payment date of the dividend or other distribution. 
 Maturity Value - the value of a share of Common
Stock on the Valuation Date. 
 Share Unit - the equivalent of one share of Common Stock. 
 Units - Share Units and Dividend Units, collectively. 
 Value - the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, equal to the average of the closing prices on the principal exchange on which the shares are traded for the five business days preceding the
applicable date, or, if the shares are not then traded on an exchange, as such value is determined by the Company using any reasonable method of valuation (including the mean of the high and low quotations of the shares as reported by NASDAQ for the
applicable date, or, in the absence of any reported sales on such date, the first preceding date on which there were such sales). 
 Valuation Date - the date as of which a distribution is due to a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to ARTICLE VII. 
 6.3.2 Units (calculated to four decimal places) shall be credited to the Account of each Participant as follows: 
 6.3.2.1 As of the date on which any Contribution Credit is made to the Account, any Contribution Credit shall be converted to a number of Share Units equal to the Contribution Credit divided by 90% of the Credit Date Value.

 6.3.2.2 Whenever, prior to the Valuation Date, LMI shall pay any dividend (other than in Common Stock) upon issued and outstanding
Common Stock, or shall make any distribution (other than in Common Stock) with respect thereto, there shall be credited to the Account such number of Dividend Units as shall be allocable to the Units credited to the Account as of the record date of
the dividend or other distribution. 
 6.3.3 In the event that, prior to the Valuation Date: (i) the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be changed by reason of a stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, stock dividend or otherwise, or (ii) the Common Stock is converted into 
  

 8 

 or exchanged for other shares as a result of a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or other reorganization or
recapitalization, the number of Units then credited or to be credited to the Account shall be appropriately adjusted so as to reflect such change (based upon the best estimate of LMI management as to relative values). 
 6.3.4 The amount of any distribution to be paid to a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to the Account shall be determined on the Valuation
Date and shall be based upon the Maturity Value of the Units included in the Account. 
 6.3.5 Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as conferring upon any Participant or Beneficiary any rights as a stockholder of LMI or any right to have access to the books and records, financial statements or other financial information of or relating to the Company or LMI.

 ARTICLE VII 
 Entitlement to Benefits 
 7.1 Termination of Employment - In the event of a termination of employment
by a Participant for any reason other than his death, then, as of the fifth business day after the date of his termination of employment, he shall become entitled to the full amount of his Account, payable according to the provisions of ARTICLE
VIII. 
 7.2 Death - In the event of the death of a Participant prior to his termination of employment, then, as of the fifth
business day after the date of his death, the full amount of his Account shall become payable, according to the provisions of ARTICLE VIII, to his designated Beneficiary, upon submission of proof of death satisfactory to the Company. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Distribution
of Benefits 
 8.1 Benefits During Lifetime - In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company
terminates for any reason other than his death, then, beginning as soon as is administratively practicable after the fifth business day following termination of employment (but, if the Participant has so elected in his Payment Option Election, no
earlier than the first day of the calendar year next following termination), the Company will, in accordance with the Payment Option Election, either (i) distribute an amount equal to the entire balance of the Account to the Participant in a
single lump sum, or (ii) distribute the first of a series of three annual installment distributions of the balance of the Account; provided, however, that if the Participant’s total Account balance is less than $20,000, he may not elect
option (ii) above. 
  

 9 

 8.2 Death Benefits - In the event of the death of a Participant who has an undistributed
balance in his Account: 
 8.2.1 As soon as is administratively practicable after the fifth business day following the date of death,
the Company will distribute to the Participant’s Beneficiary an amount equal to the balance of the Account in a single lump sum, or, if the Participant has so indicated in his Payment Option Election, in the same manner as the Account would
have been distributed to the Participant had he lived. 
 8.2.2 Each Participant from time to time may designate any person or
persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive such benefits as may be payable under the Plan upon or after his death, and such designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Company during his lifetime. 
 8.2.3 In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living
Beneficiary eligible to receive the payment, validly named by the Participant, the Company shall distribute any such benefit payment to the person or persons designated to receive the Employee’s accrued benefit from the 401(k) Plan. In the
absence of a valid designation to a living person under the 401(k) Plan, the Company shall distribute the benefit payment to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Company
may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Personal Representative of the Participant’s estate. In the event of a lack of adequate information having been supplied to the Company, or in the event that any question arises as to the
existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a benefit payment as aforesaid, or in the event that a dispute arises with respect to any such payment, or in the event that a Beneficiary designation conflicts with applicable law, or in the event
the Company is in doubt for any other reason as to the right of any person to receive a payment as Beneficiary then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may, in complete discharge, and without liability for any tax or
other consequences which might flow therefrom: (i) distribute the payment to the Participant’s estate, (ii) retain such payment, without liability for interest, until the rights thereto are determined, or (iii) deposit the
payment into any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 8.3 Payment Option Elections  
 8.3.1 General Rules - Simultaneously with the filing of his Compensation Deferral Agreement, the Participant shall make an election to
receive the benefits payable hereunder in a lump sum or in periodic installments. The Participant’s election shall be set forth in a Payment Option Election. Following the filing of his Compensation Deferral Agreement, the Participant shall
have no further right to alter any election set forth in his Payment Option Election except pursuant to Section 8.3.2, but the Participant shall have the right to make new elections from time to time (but not more than once every five years),
each on a separate Payment Option Election, provided that each such new election shall be applicable only to the portion of his Account attributable to Plan Years beginning after the filing of the new Payment Option Election, and all pre-existing
elections shall remain in effect with respect to the portions of the Account attributable to the periods for which such elections were applicable. 
  

 10 

 8.3.2 Special Re-Election - Any Participant may change his Payment Option Election with
respect to his Account, whether attributable to Plan Years beginning prior to or subsequent to the date of change, by making a special, one-time Payment Option Election, designated by the Participant and acknowledged by the Administrator as such. To
be effective, the special, one-time Payment Option Election must be made by the Participant subsequent to the execution date of the June, 1999 Amending Restatement but on or before June 30, 1999. 
 8.4 Mode of Distribution - The Company shall make all distributions in Common Stock (as defined in Section 6.3.1); provided, however,
that (i) the Company shall distribute only whole shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock based on 100% of the Value of a share of Common Stock on the Valuation Date (i.e., no fractional shares will be
issued), and (ii) the Company may not distribute Common Stock unless and until there exists an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares to be distributed. 
 8.5 Deductions - Any amounts payable under the Plan shall be subject to such deductions or withholdings as may be required by law, but
shall not be deemed to be salary or other compensation for the purpose of computing benefits to which the Participant may be entitled under any retirement plan or other arrangement of the Company for the benefit of its employees generally.

 8.6 Payment to Minor or Incompetent - If any person to whom a payment is due under the Plan is a minor, or is found by the
Company to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, the Company shall have the right to cause the payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his benefit, without responsibility of the Company to see to the
application of such payments, and such payments will constitute a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Company with respect thereto. 
 8.7 Qualified Domestic Relations Order - Payments under the Plan shall not be subject to the provision of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order (a “QDRO”), as defined by Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue
Code, applicable to a Participant’s benefit under the 401(k) Plan. Any amount which would be payable under this Plan to an alternate payee if the QDRO were applied to this Plan shall instead be paid to the Participant, if living, otherwise to
his Beneficiary. 
 8.8 Location of Participants and Beneficiaries - Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a
Participant (or Beneficiary) at his last post office address filed with the Company, or if no such address was filed with the Company then at his last post office address as shown on the Company’s records, shall be binding on the Participant
(or Beneficiary) for all purposes of the Plan. Except for the sending of a registered letter to the last known address, the Company shall not be obliged to search for any Participant (or Beneficiary). If the Company notifies any Participant (or
Beneficiary) that he is entitled to an amount under the Plan and the Participant (or Beneficiary) fails to claim such amount or make his location known to the Company within three years, then, except as otherwise required by law, the Company shall
have the right to treat the amount payable as a forfeiture. 
  

 11 

 ARTICLE IX 
 Administration 
 9.1 Administrative Authority - Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the Company shall have the sole responsibility for and the sole control of the operation and administration of the Plan, and shall have the power and authority to take all action and to make all decisions and interpretations which
may be necessary or appropriate in order to administer and operate the Plan, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power, duty and responsibility to: (i) resolve and determine all disputes or questions arising under
the Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Employees, Participants and Beneficiaries, and their respective benefits, and to remedy any ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions; (ii) adopt such rules of procedure and regulations
as in its opinion may be necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the Plan; (iii) implement the Plan in accordance with its terms and such rules and regulations; (iv) notify the
Participants of any amendment or termination of, or of a change in any benefits available under, the Plan; and (v) prescribe such forms as may be required for Employees to make elections under, and otherwise participate in, the Plan. Subject to
the power to delegate in the manner described in Section 9.2, the Company shall act through its Board of Directors. 
 9.2 Company
Administration - The Plan shall be operated and administered on behalf of the Company by an Administrator. The Administrator shall be governed by the following: 
 9.2.1 In the absence of any designation to the contrary by the Company, the Administrator shall be the Administrative Committee established pursuant to Section 9.3. Except as the Company shall otherwise
expressly determine, the Administrator shall have full authority to act for the Company before all persons in any matter directly pertaining to the Plan, including the exercise of any power or discretion otherwise granted to the Company pursuant to
the terms of the Plan, other than the power to amend or terminate the Plan, to determine Company contributions, and to affect the employer-employee relationship between the Company and any Employee, all of which powers are reserved to the Company
unless expressly granted to the Administrator. 
 9.2.2 The Administrator may appoint any persons or firms, or otherwise act to
secure specialized advice or assistance, as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration and operation of the Plan; the Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action or
omission taken by it in good faith reliance upon, the advice or opinion of such firms or persons. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to delegate from time to time by written instrument all or any part of its duties, powers or
responsibilities under the Plan, both ministerial and discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person, and in the same manner to revoke any such delegation of duties, powers or responsibilities. Any action of such person in the exercise of
such delegated duties, powers or responsibilities shall have the same force and effect for all purposes hereunder as if such action had been taken by the Administrator. Further, the Administrator may authorize one or more persons to execute any
certificate or document on behalf of the Administrator, in which 
  

 12 

 event any person notified by the Administrator of such authorization shall be entitled to accept and conclusively rely
upon any such certificate or document executed by such person as representing action by the Administrator until such third person shall have been notified of the revocation of such authority. The Administrator shall not be liable for any act or
omission of any person to whom the Administrator’s duties, powers or responsibilities have been delegated, nor shall any person to whom any duties, powers or responsibilities have been delegated have any liabilities with respect to any duties,
powers or responsibilities not delegated to him. 
 9.2.3 All representatives of the Company, and/or members of the Administrative
Committee, shall use ordinary care and diligence in the performance of their duties pertaining to the Plan, but no such individual shall incur any liability: (i) by virtue of any contract, agreement, bond or other instrument made or executed by
him or on his behalf in his official capacity with respect to the Plan, (ii) for any act or failure to act, or any mistake or judgment made, in his official capacity with respect to the Plan, unless resulting from his gross negligence or
willful misconduct, or (iii) for the neglect, omission or wrongdoing of any other person involved with the Plan. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each such individual who is an Employee from the effects and consequences of his
acts, omissions and conduct in his official capacity with respect to the Plan, except to the extent that such effects and consequences shall result from his own willful misconduct or gross negligence. If any matter arises as to which an individual
is entitled to indemnity hereunder, the indemnitee shall give the Company prompt written notice thereof. The Company, at its own expense, shall then take charge of the disposition of the asserted liability, including compromise or the conduct of
litigation. The indemnitee may, at his own expense, retain his own counsel and share in the conduct of any such litigation, but the failure to do so shall not adversely affect his right to indemnity. 
 9.2.4 Nothing in the Plan shall be construed so as to prevent any person involved in administration of the Plan from receiving any benefit to
which he may be entitled as a Participant. 
 9.2.5 Expenses incurred in the administration and operation of the Plan (including the
functioning of the Administrative Committee) shall be paid by the Company. 
 9.3 Administrative Committee - The Company shall
designate and appoint a committee, to be known as the Administrative Committee, as Administrator. Except to the extent that the Company has retained any power or authority, or allocated duties and responsibilities to another, said Committee shall
have full power and authority to administer and operate the Plan in accordance with its terms and in particular the authority contained in this ARTICLE IX, and, in acting pursuant thereto, shall have full power and authority to deal with all persons
in any matter directly connected with the Plan, in accordance with the following provisions: 
 9.3.1 The Committee shall consist of
one or more individuals designated by the Company. Subject to his right to resign at any time, each member of the Committee shall serve (without compensation, unless otherwise determined by the Company) at the pleasure of the Company, and the
Company may appoint, and may revoke the appointment of, additional 
  

 13 

 members to serve with the Committee as may be determined to be necessary or desirable from time to time. Each member of
the Committee, by accepting his appointment to the Committee, shall thereby be deemed to have accepted all of the duties and responsibilities of such appointment, and to have agreed to the faithful performance of his duties thereunder. 

9.3.2 The Committee shall adopt such formal organization and method of operation as it shall deem desirable for the conduct of its affairs.
The Committee shall act as a body, and the individual members of the Committee shall have no powers and duties as such, except as provided herein; the Committee shall act by vote of a majority of its members at the time in office, either at a
meeting or in writing without a meeting. 
 9.3.3 The determination of the Committee on any matter pertaining to the Plan within the
powers and discretion granted to it shall be final and conclusive on all Participants and all other persons dealing in any way or capacity with the Plan. 
 ARTICLE X 
 Amendment and Termination 
 10.1 Right to Amend - Subject to Section 10.8, the Company shall have the right to amend the Plan in writing, at any time, and with
respect to any provisions hereof, and all parties hereto or claiming any interest hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
 10.2 Amendment
Required by Federal Law - Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.8, the Plan or any Plan may be amended at any time, retroactively if required, if found necessary in order to conform to the provisions and requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code or ERISA, or any similar act or any amendments thereto or regulations promulgated thereunder; no such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of any Employee or Participant. 
 10.3 Right to Terminate - The Company reserves the right, at any time, to terminate the Plan. 
 10.4 Cessation of Business - Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event the Company ceases to actively
carry on the trade or business in which the Participant was employed (whether or not such cessation involves a liquidation of the Company’s assets), and if the cessation is not pursuant to a transaction whereby a successor entity continues the
trade or business (including the obligations under the Plan), the entire value of the Account shall (as soon as possible but in any event prior to the completion of any liquidation of assets) be distributed in a single lump sum to the Participant
or, in the event the Participant is not then living, to the Beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 8.2. 
 10.5
Successor to Company - Subject to Section 10.6, in the event of the merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets, or reorganization, of the Company: 
 10.5.1 Provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor employer, in which case such successor shall be substituted for
the Company under the Plan and Section 7.1 shall not apply to the transaction. The substitution of the successor shall constitute an assumption of Plan liabilities by the successor and the successor shall have all of the powers, duties and
responsibilities of the Company under the Plan. 
  

 14 

 10.5.2 If the action described in Section 10.5.1 has not been taken within 90 days from the
effective date of the transaction, the Plan shall terminate as of the effective date of the transaction and the Account balance of each Participant shall be distributed to him in a single lump sum. 
 10.5.3 In the event of a transaction described in this Section 10.5 which applies to a portion of the Company, the provisions of this 10.5
shall apply only to the employees transferred in connection therewith. 
 10.6 Change in Control or Cessation of Public Trading
- If there is a Termination Vote within 90 days after a Change in Control, or within 90 days after the stock of LMI or any successor ceases to be Publicly Traded, the Plan shall terminate and the Account balance of each Participant shall be
immediately distributed to him in a single lump sum. A Termination Vote shall mean the affirmative vote to terminate the Plan by Participants whose Accounts represent more than 50% of the total value of the Accounts of all of the individuals who
were Participants immediately prior to the Change in Control or cessation of public trading (based upon values determined in accordance with ARTICLE VI as of the fifth business day preceding the date of the vote). 
 10.7 Termination of 401(k) Plan - In the event the Company terminates the 401(k) Plan, this Plan shall be deemed to have simultaneously
terminated, and the provisions of Section 10.9 shall be applicable thereto. 
 10.8 Preservation of Rights - Amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect the rights of any Participant (or Beneficiary) to payment of the amount in his Account, to the extent that such amount was payable under the terms of the Plan prior to the effective date of such amendment or
termination. 
 10.9 Effect of Termination - Upon termination of the Plan, the rights of all Participants in their Accounts
shall be payable as the Company shall determine from either of the following alternatives: (i) continued administration of all Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Plan, with distributions to each Participant to be made pursuant to ARTICLES
VII and VIII, or (ii) immediate distribution to each Participant of his undistributed Account balance. 
  

 15 

 ARTICLE XI 
 Multiple-Employer Provisions 
 11.1 Adoption by Other Employers - Subject to
approval of the Sponsor, the Plan may be adopted by any other employer. Such adoption and approval shall be evidenced by the execution of an Adoption Agreement by the Sponsor and the adopting employer. 
 11.2 Separate Plans - It is intended that the provisions of the Plan shall apply separately to each participating Company, if there be more
than one, and to the Participants of each such participating Company, and, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” as used throughout the Plan shall be so construed, to the end that, except as otherwise provided in this
ARTICLE XI, the Plan shall constitute a separate Plan for each participating Company. 
 11.3 Participation - The participation
of any participating Company in the Plan shall become effective as of the date the Adoption Agreement is executed and approved as provided in Section 11.1, or on such other date as may be set forth in said Adoption Agreement. Once participation
by a participating Company has begun, such participation shall continue until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 11.4
Combined Service - Except as otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement, the term “service” or “employment” shall be deemed to refer equally to service with any participating Company, so that, for any purpose under
the Plan, service with any participating Company shall be deemed to be the equivalent of service with any other participating Company. A Participant shall be deemed to have terminated employment only upon the termination of his employment with all
of the participating Companies. 
 11.5 Administration - The term “Company” as used in ARTICLE IX, pertaining to
administration of the Plan, refers only to the Sponsor, and to the Administrative Committee appointed by the Sponsor, although any other participating Company may appoint its own separate committee, or otherwise act, to administer the Plan with
regard to those internal matters peculiar to that participating Company and which do not conflict with the concept set forth in this Section 11.5. 
 11.6 Amendment - The term “Company” as used in ARTICLE X, pertaining to amendment of the Plan, refers only to the Sponsor, which shall be vested with the sole power to amend the Plan in any
manner, and such amendment will bind each participating Company and its Participants. However, with the consent of the Sponsor, any other participating Company shall have the right to amend the Plan in any manner (otherwise permitted by ARTICLE X)
which affects the Plan only as to that participating Company and, in the sole judgment of the Sponsor, in no significant way affects the Plan as to any other participating Company. 
 11.7 Termination - A participating Company may terminate the Plan, pursuant to ARTICLE X, at any time. Any such action shall operate only
as to the Participants employed by that participating Company. 
  

 16 

 ARTICLE XII 
 Miscellaneous 
 12.1 Limitations on Liability of Company - Neither the
establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any Account, nor the payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company (or any person
connected therewith), except as provided by law or by any Plan provision. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company (or any
person connected therewith) and any Participant, Beneficiary or other person. In no event shall the Company (or any person connected therewith) be liable to any person for the failure of any Participant, Beneficiary or other person to be entitled to
any particular tax consequences with respect to the Plan or any contribution thereto or distribution therefrom. 
 12.2
Construction - The Plan is intended to be exempt from ERISA (other than reporting and disclosure requirements as to which no exemption is available) and, if any provision of the Plan is subject to more than one interpretation or
construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Plan being so exempted. In case any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted herein. For all purposes of the Plan, where the
context admits, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. Headings of Articles and Sections are inserted only for convenience of
reference and are not to be considered in the construction of the Plan. Except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America, the laws of the state in which the Company is domiciled shall govern, control and determine all
questions arising with respect to the Plan and the interpretation and validity of its respective provisions. Participation under the Plan will not give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company nor any right or claim to
any benefit under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued hereunder. 
 12.3 Spendthrift Provision - No
amount payable under the Plan will, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, attachment, garnishment, sale, transfer, assignment (either at law or in equity), levy, execution, pledge,
encumbrance, charge or any other legal or equitable process, and any attempt to do so will be void; nor will any benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled
thereto. The foregoing shall not preclude any arrangement for: (i) the withholding of taxes from Plan benefit payments, (ii) the recovery by the Plan of overpayments of benefits previously made to a Participant, or (iii) the direct
deposit of benefit payments to an account in a banking institution (if not part of an arrangement constituting an assignment or alienation). 
 In the event that any Participant’s benefits are garnished or attached by order of any court, the Company may bring an action for a declaratory judgment in a court of 
  

 17 

 competent jurisdiction to determine the proper recipient of the benefits to be paid by the Plan. During the pendency of
said action, any benefits that become payable shall be paid into the court as they become payable, to be distributed by the court to the recipient it deems proper at the close of said action. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amending Restatement, as amended, is executed under seal as of this 24th day of July, 2001.
