WOODWARD RETIREMENT
SAVINGS PLAN
(Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2016)

| ARTICLE I GENERAL

The Woodward Governor Company Member Investment and Stock Ownership Plan (the “MISOP”) was first established by Woodward, Inc., formerly Woodward Governor Company (the “Company”) effective as of September 30, 1952.

The Woodward Governor Company Retirement Income Plan (the “Retirement Income Plan”) was first established by the Company, effective as of September 30, 1952. Effective as of December 31, 2002, the Retirement Income Plan was merged into the MISOP and all assets and liabilities under the Retirement Income Plan were transferred to the MISOP as of that date. Also effective as of that date, the MISOP was renamed the “Woodward Governor Company Retirement Savings Plan” (the “Plan”). Effective as of January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended and restated to incorporate recent changes in the law. In connection with the change of the Company’s name to “Woodward, Inc.”, on and after January 26, 2011, the Plan became known as the “Woodward Retirement Savings Plan.” Effective as of January 1, 2016, (the “Effective Date”) the Plan is amended and restated to incorporate all amendments since the prior restatement and to incorporate applicable changes in the law.

The combined Plan consists of a profit sharing plan component (“Profit Sharing Component”) intended to satisfy Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a cash or deferred arrangement component (“Member Investment Component”) intended to satisfy Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component (the “Company Stock Component”), which is intended to satisfy Sections 401(a), 409 and 4975 of the Code. The Company Stock Component is designed to be invested exclusively in “qualifying employer securities” within the meaning of Section 409(l) of the Code.

The purpose of the Plan is to promote the mutual interests of the Company, its shareholders, eligible employees of the Company and eligible employees of Related Companies that become participating companies in the Plan, subject to the terms of the Plan (“Worker Members”) (i) by providing such Worker Members with a systematic savings program to supplement their retirement incomes, and an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company and to exercise shareholder rights with respect thereto, (ii) by causing the Plan to be a long-term investor in common stock of the Company, and (iii) by providing the Company and its eligible Worker Members with the tax benefits and other benefits provided under applicable laws to qualified retirement plans in general and employee stock ownership plans in particular. The provisions of the Plan as applied to any group of Worker Members may be modified or supplemented from time to time, with the consent of the Company, by the adoption of one or more Supplements.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, a Participant or a Worker Member who terminates employment with the Company and Related Companies or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan and is later reemployed or otherwise becomes a Worker Member on or after June 1, 2011, shall be deemed to have elected to resume participation in the Plan for purposes of Section 7.1 pursuant to an Automatic Contribution Arrangement as of the 60th day following the date he again becomes an eligible Worker Member; provided, however, that by such date he has not made an affirmative written election, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee, to make Deferral Contributions to the Plan or not to have any Deferral Contributions made to the Plan on his behalf. Any other Worker Member whose employment terminates and who is subsequently reemployed shall become a Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Worker Member who terminated service on or before September 30, 1976, shall not receive credit for any prior service under the Plan and shall be treated as a new Worker Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Section 7.3 of the Plan, any Worker Member who terminates employment subsequent to December 31, 2002 and is later reemployed shall no longer be eligible for a Grandfathered Contribution under Section 7.3(a) of the Plan.

Section 4.3 Participation Not Contract of Employment. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any Worker Member the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or a Related Company nor any right or claim to any benefit under the terms of the Plan unless such right or claim is specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.

SERVICE

Section 5.1 Year of Service. The term “Year of Service” means, with respect to any Worker Member, any Plan Year during which he completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service (as defined in Section 5.2 below); provided that the twelve-consecutive-month period commencing on the date on which the Worker Member first completes an Hour of Service shall be deemed to be a Year of Service if he completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service during such twelve-consecutive-month period.

Notwithstanding the above, for periods before December 31, 2002: (i) a Worker Member in the Woodward Governor Company Recruit Program is credited for one Year of Service if he completed at least 250 Hours of Service and not more than 999 Hours of Service in each of four Plan Years; and (ii) a Worker Member who was a student in the Irl C. Martin Academy of Industrial Science for a period of six months or more during any Plan Year (or during his first twelve months of employment and successive periods commencing on the anniversary of the date he was hired) is credited for a Year of Service if he did not otherwise receive credit during such period.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.1, a Worker Member is credited with one Year of Service for the Plan Year ending December 31, 1995, if he completed 1,000 Hours of Service during the twelve-consecutive-month period ending on December 31, 1995. Effective October 1, 1999, Worker Members who are employed by the Company or a Related Company outside of the United States and are transferred to employment by the Company or a Related Company in the United States are credited with service for all periods of such employment outside of the United States.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, Worker Members who were employees of Synchro-Start Products, Inc. immediately prior to May 30, 2003 and who became Worker Members of the Company as of such date shall be credited with service for all periods of employment with Synchro-Start Products, Inc. for purposes of determining whether such Worker Members are eligible to participate in various components of the Plan in accordance with Section 4.1. However, in no event shall such Worker Members be eligible for Grandfathered Contributions under Section 7.3(a) of the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, Worker Members who were employees of the Barber-Colman Dyna Products Division of Invensys Building Systems Inc. immediately prior to August 28, 2003 and who became Worker Members of the Company as of such date shall be credited with service for all periods of employment with the Barber-Colman Dyna Products Division of Invensys Building Systems Inc. for purposes of determining whether such Worker Members are eligible to participate in various components of the Plan in

11

accordance with Section 4.1. However, in no event shall such Worker Members be eligible for Grandfathered Contributions under Section 7.3(a) of the Plan.

Section 5.2 Hour of Service. The term “Hour of Service” means, for any Worker Member, each hour for which he is paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for the Company or a Related Company or for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, has been awarded to the Worker Member or agreed to by the Company or a Related Company, subject to the following:

(a) A Worker Member shall be credited with 8 Hours of Service per day (to a maximum of 40 Hours of Service per week) for any period during which he performs no duties for the Company or a Related Company by reason of a vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence but for which he is directly or indirectly paid or entitled to payment by the Company or a Related Company; provided, however, that a Worker Member shall not be credited with more than 501 Hours of Service under this subsection (a) for any single continuous period during which he performs no duties for the Company or a Related Company. Payments considered for purposes of the foregoing sentence shall include payments unrelated to the length of the period during which no duties are performed, but shall not include payments made solely as reimbursement for medically related expenses or solely for the purpose of complying with the applicable worker’s compensation, unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws. For the purpose of determining a Worker Member’s Hours of Service, in the case of a Worker Member who has a qualified military leave (as defined under the USERRA), in no event shall such Worker Member be credited with fewer Hours of Service than such Worker Member would be entitle d to receive under Code Section 414(u).

(b) Solely for purposes of determining whether a Worker Member has incurred a One-Year Break-in-Service (as defined in Section 5.3), the Worker Member or Participant shall be credited, to the extent not otherwise credited in accordance with the foregoing provisi ons of this Section 5.2, with 8 Hours of Service for each day (to a maximum of 40 Hours of Service for each calendar week) for any period during which a Worker Member is absent from active employment with the Company or Related Company by reason of the Worker Member’s pregnancy, the birth of a child of the Worker Member, or the placement of a child with the Worker Member in connection with the Worker Member’s adoption of such child, and, in each case, the care of such child immediately after its birth or placement; provided that in no event shall more than 501 Hours of Service be credited under this subsection (b). Hours of Service credited in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be credited for the Plan Year during which the absence begins to the extent that such crediting would prevent the Worker Member from incurring a One-Year Break-in-Service during that year and, in each other case, shall be credited in the immediately following Plan Year.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining whether he has incurred a One-Year Break-in-Service, a Worker Member shall be credited, to the extent not credited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, with 8 Hours of Service per day (to a maximum of 40 Hours of Service per week) that he is absent from active employment with the Company or a Related Company by reason of a leave of absence

12

approved or granted by the Company or the Related Company in accordance with rules uniformly applied by it.

Section 5.3 One-Year Break-in-Service. The term “One-Year Break-in-Service” means, with respect to any Worker Member, any Plan Year during which he completes less than 501 Hours of Service. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, a Worker Member shall not incur any One-Year Break-in-Service during the period beginning October 1, 1995, and ending December 31, 1995, if the Worker Member completed more than 125 Hours of Service during such period, but will incur a One-Year Break-in-Service for that period if he completes less than 125 Hours of Service during such period.

If pursuant to one or more agreements between the Company or a Related Company and one or more leasing organizations (within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code), a person provides services to the Company or a Related Company in a capacity other than as a Worker Member, on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least one year, and such services are performed under the primary direction and control of the Company or a Related Company, such person shall be a “Leased Worker Member.” Leased Worker Members shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan or in any other plan maintained by the Company or a Related Company that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (including during the initial one-year period). A Leased Worker Member shall be treated as if the services performed by him in such capacity (including service performed during such initial one-year period) were performed by him as a Worker Member of a Related Company which has not become a participating company in the Plan; provided, however, that no such service shall be credited:

(a) for any period during which less than 20% of the work force of the Company and the Related Companies consists of Leased Worker Members and the Leased Worker Member is a participant in a money purchase pension plan maintained by the leasing organization which (i) provides for a nonintegrated employer contribution of at least 10 percen t (10%) of compensation, (ii) provides for full a nd immediate vesting, and (iii) covers all employees of the leasing organization (beginning with the date they become employees), other than those e mployees excluded under Section 414(n)(5) of the Code; or

DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 Payroll Deferral Contributions. A Participant may authorize payroll deferral contributions (“Payroll Deferrals”) for any payroll period of not less than 1% of his Eligible Pay (in multiples of 1%) up to a maximum of 50%. Payroll Deferral authorizations may be made at such times and in such manner as the Committee may determine. To the extent that it is necessary or appropriate to conform the operations of the Plan to the l imitations set forth in ARTICLE XII, uniform limitations on Payroll Deferrals may be established from time to time,

13

and, in accordance with such limitations, any Payroll Deferral authorized by a Participant may be reduced.

Section 6.2 Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and/or Roth Deferral Contributions. A Participant, pursuant to a written instrument in a form prescribed by the Committee, or by any other method authorized by the Committee, must irrevocably designate his Payroll Deferrals as “Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions” or as “Roth Deferral Contributions.”

(a) Amounts designated as Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions may not later be reclassified as Roth Deferral Contributions, and amounts designated as Roth Deferral Contributions may not later be reclassified as Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions.

(b) Roth Deferral Contributions will be treated as includible in the Participant’s income at the time the Participant would have received that amount in cash if the Participant had not made a cash or deferral election.

(c) A Participant’s Roth Contributions will be allocated to a separate Account maintained for such contributions by the Trustee as described in ARTICLE IX and will be credited to the Member Investment Component of the Plan in accordance with ARTICLE X.

Section 6.3 Adjustments and Payment of Payroll Deferrals. A Participant’s Eligible Pay shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of his Payroll Deferrals for that period and the Company shall deposit that amount in the Plan in accordance with Section 7.1.

Section 6.4 Election to Vary, Suspend or Change Payroll Deferrals. Subject to such conditions, requirements and limitations as may be established from time to time, a Participant may elect to vary within the limits set forth in Section 6.1 or to suspend Payroll Deferrals.

A Worker Member returning to active employment with the Company or Related Company from a qualified military leave (as defined under the USERRA), may file a written election with the Plan Administrator authorizing the Company or Related Company, as applicable, to make deductions for each payroll period from his Eligible Pay for deposit with the Trustee in the Participant’s Deferral Contribution Account in an amount equal to the contribution rate that he would have contributed under this ARTICLE VI had the Participant not been on a qualified military leave; provided, however, that this amount shall be reduced by any contributions made under this ARTICLE VI during such qualified military leave. To make such contributions, a Participant must affirmatively make this qualified military leave election on a form approved by the Plan Administrator for this purpose and must make such contributions during the period beginning with the payroll period on or immediately following his reemployment date and ending on the earlier of five years or the period of the Participant’s qualified military service multiplied by three. Amounts contributed pursuant to this ARTICLE shall be eligible for Company Matching Contributions in accordance with Section 7.2.

Such Catch-up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the limitation on the maximum amount of such Worker Member’s Payroll Deferral s for a Plan Year under Section 402(g) of the Code or the limitation on contribution s for a Plan Year under Section 415(c) of the Code. Further, by allowing such Catch-up Contributions, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416, as applicable. Catch-up Contributions made in accordance with this Section 6.5 shall be eligible for Company Matching Contributions under Section 7.2 of the Plan. Catch-up Contributions shall be permitted to be made on a payroll-by-payroll basis; provided, however, that Payroll Deferrals may only be characterized as Catch-up Contributions on a Plan Year basis.

Section 6.6 Treatment as Deferral Contribution. Payroll Deferrals and Catch-up Contributions, unless otherwise specified, shall be treated as and collectively referred to as “Deferral Contributions.”

(b) At least 30 but not more than 90 days prior to the first day of each Plan Year, the Committee will provide each Worker Member who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 4.1 and to whom the provisions of an Automatic Contribution Arrangement apply a comprehensive notice of the Worker Member’s rights and obligations under an Automatic Contribution Arrangement. In the case of a Worker Member who does not receive the notice because the Worker Member has satisfied the requirements of Section 4.1 or whose eligibility resumed pursuant to Section 4.2, as the case may be, after the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year, the notice shall be provided at least 30 but no more than 90 days prior to the date the Worker Member would be deemed to become a Participant as provided in Section 4.1 or 4.2 (as applicable) pursuant to an Automatic Contribution Arrangement.

(c) The notice will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by an average Worker Member and will describe: (i) the level of Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions which will be made on the Worker Member’s behalf if the Worker Member does not make an affirmative written election to participate, (ii) the Worker Member’s right to reject such deemed participation and elect to make Payroll Deferrals as provided in Section 6.1 or to elect not to have Payroll Deferrals made on his behalf, and (iii) the Investment Fund in which the Worker Member’s deferral contributions shall be invested in the absence of any investment election.

(d) An Automatic Contribution Arrangement shall not become effective for any Worker Member who files, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee and not later than the date he or she would otherwise be deemed to have elected to participate in the Plan pursuant to an Automatic Contribution Arrangement (as

15

provided in Section 4.1 or 4.2), an affirmative written election to make Payroll Deferrals pursuant to Section 6.1 or an affirmative written election not to have Payroll Deferrals made to the Plan on his behalf. Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions being made on behalf of a Worker Member pursuant to an Automatic Contribution Arrangement will cease, and an Automatic Contribution Arrangement shall cease to apply to the Worker Member, as soon as administratively practicable after the Worker Member makes an affirmative written election to have a different percentage of his Eligible Pay contributed to the Plan as Payroll Deferrals or not to have Payroll Deferrals made to the Plan on his behalf.

Section 10.1 Investment Funds. Subject to the provisi ons of this ARTICLE X, a Participant shall have the right to direct the Trustees in the manner the Participant wishes to have his Accounts invested by directing that investments be made in such Investment Funds as are available under the Plan for investment by Participants or, in the case of amounts in a Participant’s Accounts that are attributable to Company Stock Component Contributions, in the Company Stock Component. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not direct to the Company Stock Component the investment of amounts in his Account that are attributable to the Participant’s Company Matching Contributions, Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions, Roth Deferral Contributions, Grandfathered Contributions or Rollover Contributions.

Neither the Trustee, the Investment Committee, the Committee, the Company nor any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company are empowered to advise a Participant as to the manner in which his Accounts should be invested. The fact that a security is available to Participants for investment under the Member Investment Component, Profit Sharing Component or Company Stock Component shall not be construed as a recommendation for the purchase of that security, nor shall the selection by a Participant of any Investment Fund or the Company Stock Component with respect to amounts in the Participant’s Account that are attributable to a prior transfer pursuant to Section 11.4, nor the Participant’s decision to retain an investment in any Investment Fund or in the Company Stock Component, impose any liability on the Company, its directors, officers or employees, the Trustee, the Investment Committee or the Committee. All charges and expenses incurred in connection with

19

the purchase and sale of investments for an Investment Fund or the Company Stock Component shall be charged to such Investment Fund or the Company Stock Component, as applicable. If a Participant fails to direct the Trustees in the manner the Participant wishes to have his Account invested with respect to Company Matching Contributions, Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions, Roth Deferral Contributions, Grandfathered Contributions and Rollover Contributions, such contributions shall be invested in a default investment alternative selected by the Investment Committee, which shall in all cases comply with the requirements of the applicable Department of Labor regulations.

Such change shall be limited to the Investment Funds described in Section 10.1, or any other Investment Funds as the Trustee at the direction of the Investment Committee may from time to time permit.

The Company Stock Component is intended to comply with the requirements applicable to employee stock ownership plans under Sections 401(a), 409 and 497 5 of the Code and under Section 407(d)(6) of ERISA, and is hereby designated as an employee stock ownership plan (an ESOP). The Company, acting as plan sponsor, has established the Company Stock Component for the purpose of supporting employee ownership of Company Stock. The Company intends that the Company Stock Component shall be invested exclusively in Company Stock (except for cash or cash equivalent investments determined by the Investment Committee to be required to facilitate Participant transactions into and out of the Company Stock Component), without regard to the diversification of assets, the risk profile of investments in Company Stock, the amount of income provided by Company

20

Stock, fluctuations in the fair market value of Company Stock, or the investment return of the Company Stock Component in comparison to any other performance measure that might be appropriate to investment options other than the Company Stock Component, in view of the purpose of the Company Stock Component of supporting employee ownership. Company Stock may be acquired by the Trustee through purchases on the open market, private purchases, purchases from the Company (including purchases from the Company of treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares), contributions in kind by the Company, or otherwise.

Section 11.2 Company Stock Component Contributions. Subject to ARTICLE XII of the Plan, the Company shall contribute to the Company Stock Component such amount, if any, as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company for each Plan Year.

If the amount contributed under this Section 11.2 in any Plan Year is not equal to five percent (5%) of all ESOP Eligible Participants’ Eligible Wages, then such other amount, if any, shall be allocated to the Accounts of ESOP Eligible Participants based on a uniform percentage of each ESOP Eligible Participant’s Eligible Wages. For the purpose of this Section 11.2, an “ESOP Eligible Participant” is any Worker Member who is employed on the last day of the Plan Year and any Worker Member who dies, retires, suffers a Disability or is in qualified military service (wit hin the meaning of Code Section 414(u)) during such Plan Year. If any portion of the Company’s contribution to the Company Stock Component is in cash, such cash shall be applied as soon as practicable to the purchase of Company Stock.

Section 11.3 Dividends on Allocated Company Stock. All dividends paid on Company Stock held in the Company Stock Component shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts accordingly. The dividends will be paid to the Plan and reinvested in “qualifying employer securities,” in accordance with Section 404(k)(2)(A)(iii) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within a reasonable time before payment of the dividends, the Participants will be given the opportunity to make an affirmative election, in accordance with the procedures established by the Plan Administrator, to receive their dividends in cash. Any election so made shall continue in effect until changed by the Participant. If a Participant elects to receive his dividend in cash, the Trustee, if directed in writing by the Company, will pay, in cash, any cash dividend on the Company Stock allocated or allocable to the Participant’s Account. The Company’s direction must state whether the Trustee is to pay the cash dividend distributions currently or within the 90-day period following the close of the Plan Year in which the Company pays the dividends to the Trust.

Section 11.4 Transfer from the Company Stock Component. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary but subject to Section 3.10, at any time (subject to Company Policy 2-16, “Trades of Woodward Stock,” as in effect from time to time), a Participant may transfer to the Member Investment Component of the Plan any or all of his balance in the Company Stock Component and may subsequently elect to reinvest the amount attributable to such transfer in the Company Stock Component pursuant to Section 10.1.

(i) $53,000 (in 2016) (or such other amount as may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury for th at Plan Year under Code Section 415(c)), or

(ii) 100 percent (100%) of the Participant’s Compensation (as defined below) for that Plan Year.

(b) For purposes of this Section 12.1, the following terms have the following meanings:

Section 1.415(c)-2(a)) paid to him during the Plan Year for personal services actually rendered in the course of his employmen t with the Company or a Section 415 Affiliate (as defined below), including any Payroll Deferrals and any payroll reduction contributions made on his behalf for the year to a cafeteria plan within the meaning of Se ction 125 of the Code and any elective reductions in remuneration for qualified transportation benefits within the meaning of Section 132(f) of the Code; provided, however, the compensation shall include payments made to a Participant by the later of 2½ months after severance from employment or the end of the Plan Year that includes the date of severance from employment, in acco rdance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.415(c)-2(e).

In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the annual compensation of each Worker Member taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed $265,000 (in 2016), as adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service for increases in the cost-of-living in acco rdance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which compensation is determined (determination period), beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period and the denominator of which is 12.

(ii) for purposes of paragraph (i) above, the term Annual Additions shall include any amount credited to an individual medical account (as defined in Section 415(l) of the Code) or a separate account for post-retirement medical or life insurance be nefits (as described in Section 419A(d) of the Code).

“Related Defined Contribution Plan” means any other defined contribut ion plan (as defined in Section 415(k) of the Code) maintaine d by the Company or its Section 415 Affiliate.

In no event shall the combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions for a Participant under the Plan, when combined with any other cash-or-deferred arrangement maintained by the Company or a Related Company), for any taxable year exceed $18,000 (in 2016) or such larger amount as may be permitte d for that year under Section 402(g) of the Code.

(b) Excess Deferrals. Any Participant’s combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions, in excess of the adjusted $18,000 figure for a calendar year (“Excess Deferrals”), and the earnings or losses attributable thereto for the period from the date of contribution through the last day of the Plan Year shall be returned to the Participant no later than April 15th following the close of the calendar year in which such excess Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and/or Roth Deferral Contributions were made. A Participant may designate the extent to which the excess amount to be distributed is composed of Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and/or Roth Deferral Contributions but only to the extent such types of contributions were made for the Plan Year. If the Participant does not designate whether and to what extent Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions or Roth Deferral Contributions are to be distributed, the Committee will first distribute Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions.

Section 12.3 L imitations Under Section 401(k)(3) of the Code.

(a) The provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 12.3 shall apply in accordance with the requirements of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

The provisions of this Section 12.3, however, shall be applied separately in respect of any Worker Members covered under each separate collective bargaining agreement.

23

(b) For each Plan Year (to the extent applic able as set forth in subsection (a) above), the difference between the average of the Deferral Percentages (as defined below) of each eligible Worker Member who is a Highly Compensated Worker Member (as defined in Section 12.6), referred to hereinafter as the “Highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage,” and the average of the Deferral Percentages of each eligible Worker Member who is not a Highly Compensated Worker Member, referred to hereinafter as the “Non-highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage,” must satisfy one of the following:

(i) the Highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage does not exceed the Non-highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage by more than a factor of 1.25; or

(ii) the Highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage does not exceed the Non-highly Compensated Group Deferral Percentage by more than both 2 percentage points and a factor of 2.

(c) For purposes of subsection (b), a “Deferral Percentage” for any eligible Worker Member for a Plan Year shall be determined by dividing the combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions made on his behalf for such year by his Compensation (as defined in Section 12.1) for the year, subject to the following special rules:

(i) any Worker Member eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during a Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be counted, regardless of whether any Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions or Roth Deferral Contributions are made on his behalf for the year;

(ii) the Deferral Percentage for any Highly Compensated Worker Member who is eligible to participate in the Plan and who is also eligible to make other elective deferrals under one or more other arr angements (described in Section 401(k) of the Code) maintained by the Company or a Related Company shall be determined as if all such elective deferrals were made on his behalf under the Plan, and in the event that such arrangements have different plan years, all elective deferrals made during the Plan Year under all such arrangements shall be aggregated;

(iii) in the event that this Plan satisf ies the requirements of Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such Sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 12.3 shall be applied as if all such plans were a single plan; provided, however, that such plans may be aggrega ted in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same Plan Year;

(iv) in the case of any Worker Member who is not Highly Compensated, combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions (and elective deferrals under any other plan of the Company or a Related Company) that exceed the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the

24

Code shall not be counted in calculating such Worker Member’s Deferral Percentage; and

(v) in the event that the Plan ap plies the rules of Code Section 410(b)(4)(B) to treat as two separate plan s, for purposes of Code Section 410(b), the component of the Plan covering employees who have not completed at least one Year of Service and the component covering employees who have completed at least one Year of Service, the Plan shall apply the requirements of Section 12.3(b) to the component of the Plan covering employees who have not completed at least one Year of Service as if only it were the Plan.

(d) Excess Contributions. If one of the tests set forth in Section 12.3(b) above is not satisfied for any Plan Year to which such tests apply, the Plan Administrator may take the following actions:

(i) If at any time during a Plan Year the Plan Administrator determines, on the basis of estimates made from information then available, that the limitation described in Section 12.3(b) above will not be met for the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator in its discretion may reduce or suspend the Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions of one or more Participants who are Highly Compensated Worker Members to the extent necessary (A) to enable the Plan to meet such limitation or (B) to reduce the amount of Excess Contributions (as defined below) that would otherwise be di stributed pursuant to paragraph (ii) below.

(ii) In the event that Excess Contributions are made for any Plan Year, then, prior to March 15 of the following Plan Year (but in no event later than within 12 months after the end of such following Plan Year), such Excess Contributions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto through the last day of such Plan Year) shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Worker Members beginning with the Highly Compensated Worker Member with the highest dollar amount of combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions for such Plan Year and continuing in descending order until such excess contributions are distributed. For the purposes of this subsection, the “Excess Contribution” for any Plan Year is the excess of (A) the aggregate amount of combined Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions actually paid to the Trust on behalf of Highly Compensated Worker Members for such Plan Year over (B) the maximum amount of such contributions permitted for such Plan Year under Section 12.3(b), determined by hypothetically reducing Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Worker Members in order of their Contribution Percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any excess contributions to be distributed hereunder shall be reduced by any Excess Deferrals previously distributed for the Plan Year under Section 12.2. A Highly Compensated Worker Member may designate the extent to which the excess amount to be distributed is composed of Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions and Roth Deferral Contributions but only to the extent such types of contributions were made for the Plan Year. If the Highly Compensated Worker Member does not designate whether and to what extent Pre-Tax Deferral

25

Contributions or Roth Deferral Contributions are to be distributed, the Committee will first distribute Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions. In addition, to the extent Excess Deferrals or Excess Contributions that were matched by Company Matching Contributions are distributed to a Worker Member pursuant to Section 12.2 or 12.3, the amount of such Company Matching Contributions shall be forfeited (along with any income or minus any loss so allocable thereto) and applied to reduce the amount of Company Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 7.2.

Section 12.4 Limitations Under Code Section 401(m)(2).

(a) The provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 12.4 shall apply in accordance with the requirements of Section 401(m)(2) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

The provisions of this Section 12.4, however, shall not apply in respect of any Worker Members covered under a collective bargaining agreement.

(b) For each Plan Year (to the extent applicable as described in subsection (a)), the difference between the average of the Contribution Percentages (as defined below) of each eligible Worker Member who is a Highly Compensated Worker Member (as defined in Section 12.6) referred to hereinafter as the “Highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage” and the average of the Contribution Percentages of each eligible Worker Member who is not Highly Compensated, referred to hereinafter as the “Non-highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage,” must satisfy one of the following:

(i) the Highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage does not exceed the Non-highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage by more than a factor of 1.25; or

(ii) the Highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage does not exceed the Non-highly Compensated Group Contribution Percentage by more than both 2 percentage points and a factor of 2.

(c) For purposes of subsection (b), a “Contribution Percentage” for any eligible Worker Member for a Plan Year shall be determined by dividing the Company Matching Contributions (described in Section 7.2) made by or for him for such year by his Compensation for the year, subject to the following special rules:

(i) any Worker Member eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during a Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be counted, regardless of whether any Company Matching Contributions are made by or for him for the year;

(ii) the Contribution Percentage for any Highly Compensated Worker Member who is eligible to participate in the Plan and who is also eligible to participate in one or more other qualified plans maintained by the Company or a Related Company under which matching contributions (within the meaning of Section 401(m) of the Code) can be made by or for him shall be determined as if all such contributions were made by or for him under the Plan, and in the event

26

that such arrangements have different plan years, all matching contributions made during the Plan Year under all such arrangements shall be aggregated;

(iii) in the event that this Plan satisfi es the requirements of Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such Sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 12.4 shall be applied as if all such plans were a single plan; provided, however, such plans may be aggrega ted in order to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only if they have the same Plan Year; and

(iv) in the event that the Plan ap plies the rules of Code Section 410(b)(4)(B) to treat as two separate plan s, for purposes of Code Section 410(b), the component of the Plan covering Worker Members who have not completed at least one Year of Service and the component covering Worker Members who have completed at least one Year of Service, the Plan shall apply the requirements of Section 12.4(b) to the component of the Plan covering employees who have not completed at least one Year of Service as if only it were the Plan.

(d) Excess Company Matching Contributions. If one of the tests set forth in Section 12.4(b) above is not satisfied for any Plan Year to which such tests apply, then, prior to March 15 of the following Plan Year (but in no event later than within 12 months after the end of the following Plan Year), the Excess Company Matching Contributions (plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto through the last day of such Plan Year) shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Worker Members beginning with the Highly Compensated Worker Member with the highest dollar amount of Company Matching Contributions for such Plan Year and continuing in descending order until such Excess Company Matching Contributions are distributed. For the purposes of this subsection, the term “Excess Company Matching Contributions” means, fo r any Plan Year, the excess (i) of the aggregate amount of the Company Matching Contributions actually paid to the Trust by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Worker Members f or such Plan Year over (ii) the maximum amount of such Company Matching Contributions permitted for such Plan Year under subsection (b) above, determined by hypothetically reducing Company Matching Contributions made by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Worker Members in order of their Contribution Percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages. The determination of Excess Company Matching Cont ributions under this subsection (e) shall be made after first determining the Excess Deferrals under Section 12.2 and then determining the Excess Contributions under Section 12.3(d).

Section 12.5 Reduction of Contribution Rates. To conform the operation of the Plan to Sections 401(k)(3), 402(g) and 415(c) of the Code, any election of Payroll Deferrals made by a Participant pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan may be modified or revoked regardless of such Participant’s prior elections.

Section 12.6 Highly Compensated Worker Member. For purposes of this ARTICLE XII, a Worker Member shall be a “Highly Compensated Worker Member” for any Plan Year if he:

27

(a) was a 5% (percent) owner (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1)) of the Company or a Related Company at any time during such Plan Year or the preceding Plan Year; or

(b) received Compensation (as defined in Section 12.1) from the Company and Related Companies for the preceding year in excess of $120,000 (in 2016) (as adjusted f or cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Code for any Plan Year).

Section 12.7 Testing Procedures. In applying the limitations set forth in Section 12.3(b) and 12.4(b), the Committee may, at its option, utilize such testing procedures as may be permitted under Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), 401(m) or 410(b), subject to any applicable limitations contained in the regulations, including, without limitation, (i) aggregation of the Plan with one or more other Related Plans, (ii) inclusion of qualified matching contributions, qualified non-elective contributions or elective deferrals described in, and meeting the requirements of, Treasury Regulations under Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m) made to any other qualified plan of the Related Companies, (iii) exclusion of all Worker Members (other than Highly Compensated Worker Members) who have not met the minimum age and servi ce requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A), or (iv) any permissible combination thereof.

ARTICLE XIII

PRE-TERMINATION WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS

Section 13.1 Pre-Termination Withdrawals. Subject to the Committee’s approval and except as otherwise provided in any Supplement, a Participant may, before his termination of employment from the Company and all Related Companies, elect to withdraw all or any portion of the value of his Account in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 13.1, provided that no withdrawals may be made by any Participant after the date on which his employment terminates, except as provided in Section 14.3(d):

(a) A Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his Rollover Contributions at any time. Any such withdrawal shall be in the amount specified by the Participant, subject to any reasonable restrictions on the minimum amount or number of withdrawals imposed by the Committee on a nondiscriminatory basis, up to the value of his Rollover Contributions balance.

(b) A Participant may withdraw on or after the date the Participant attains age 59½ all or any portion of his Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Account, Roth Deferral Contribution Account, Company Matching Contribution Account and Rollover Contributions.

(c) A Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Account, Roth Deferral Contribution Account, Rollover Contributions and amounts attributable to amounts transferred from his Company Stock Component Account that are then held in the Member Investment Component, to the extent necessary to meet a Hardship (as defined in Section 13.2), provided however that the portion of any Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Account or Roth Contribution Account which is attributable to earnings thereon accrued after September 30, 1989 may not be withdrawn under this subsection (c).

28

(d) Subject to Section 13.1(e), Participant may withdraw all or any portion of his vested Account balance upon his Disability.

(e) No withdrawal may be made from (i) the Participant’s Company Stock Component Contribution Account held in the Company Stock Component, or (ii) Grandfathered Contributions Account, established in accordance with Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b).

(f) Withdrawals from any Accounts shall be requested in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee and shall occur as of the date on which the recordkeeper receives instructions authorizing the withdrawal. The withdrawal amount shall be charged against the Participant’s balance under each Investment Fund as elected by the Participant.

(g) Conditions and limitations may be imposed by the Committee from time to time with respect to the withdrawal of amounts, including the imposition of minimum withdrawal amounts, as set forth in the written or electronic policies or procedures established by the Committee or its delegate.

Section 13.2 Hardship. A withdrawal will be considered to be on account of “Hardship” if it meets the following requirements:

(a) The withdrawal is requested because of an immediate and heavy financial need of a Worker Member and will be so deemed if the Worker Member represents that the withdrawal is made on account of any of the following circumstances, determined in acco rdance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(B):

(i) expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that wo uld be deductible under Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

(ii) costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence of the Worker Member (excluding mortgage payments);

(iii) payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Worker Member or the Worker Member’s spouse, children or depende nts (as defined in Code Section 152, wit hout regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B));

(iv) payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Worker Member from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Worker Member’s principal residence;

(v) payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Worker Member’s deceased parent, spouse, child or depend ent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to Code Section 152(d)(1)(B)); or

(vi) certain expenses relating to the repair of damage to the Worker Member’s principal residence that qualifies as a casualty deduction under Code

29

Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(b) The withdrawal must also be necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need of the Worker Member. The withdrawal is treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant only to the extent the amount of the distribution is not in excess of the amount required to satisfy the financial need (which may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal). It will be considered necessary if the Committee determines that the financial need cannot be satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the Worker Member. In making this determination, the Committee may reasonably rely on the Worker Member’s representation that the need cannot be relieved:

(i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(ii) by reasonable liquidation of the Worker Member’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself constitute a hardship;

(iii) by ceasing to make Deferral Contributions (or any contributions to any other plan of the Company or Related Companies permitting deferral of compensation);

(iv) by other currently available distributions (including distribution of Company Stock Compone nt dividends under Code Section 404(k)) and nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans, under plans maintained by the Company or by any other employer; or

(v) by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in any amount sufficient to satisfy the need.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a need cannot reasonably be relieved by one of the actions described above if the effect would be to increase the amount of the need.

(c) The withdrawal may not be made unless the Worker Member is suspended from making Deferral Contributions to the Plan and is suspended from making employee contributions and elective contributions to all other qualified and nonqualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company or a Related Company (excluding contributions to a health or welfare benefit plan) for the six consecutive months following receipt of the hardship withdrawal.

Section 13.3 Loans to Participants. A Worker Member, or a Participant who is a party‑in‑interest (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) with respect to the Plan (a “Loan Applicant”), may request a loan from the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of a written loan policy which is hereby incorporated as part of the Plan. The loan policy shall include loan application guidelines, subject to the following:

(a) Except as provided in the following sentence, no loan shall be made to a Loan Applicant if, after such loan, the sum of the outstanding balances (including

30

principal and interest) of all loans made to him under this Plan and all other Related Plan would exceed the lesser of $50,000 (adjusted as provided below) or one half of the amount which is vested in accordance with Section 14.1. The foregoing $50,000 limitation shall be adjusted by subtracting therefrom the amount, if any, by which the highest outstanding loan balance of the Loan Applicant at any time during the one-year period ending on the day preceding the date of such loan exceeds such outstanding balance on the date of the loan.

(b) Each loan to a Loan Applicant shall be made from the Investment Funds under the Member Investment Component or the Profit Sharing Component and shall be charged against each Investment Fund on a pro-rata basis. No loan may be made from the portion of a Participant’s Account held in the Company Stock Component.

(c) Each loan shall be evidenced by a written note providing for:

(i) a reasonable repayment period of not less than one year and not more than 5 years from the date of the loan (10 years if such loan is used to acquire any dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used as the principal residence of the Loan Applicant);

(ii) a reasonable rate of interest; and

(iii) such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

(d) Payments of principal and interest to the Trustee with respect to any loan or portion thereof shall be credited to each Investment Fund in accordance with the Loan Applicant’s investment direction for future contributions. Any portion or all of the loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

(e) At the Committee’s discretion, if the outstanding balance of principal and interest on any loan is not paid at the expiration of its term, such outstanding balance shall be treated as distributed under the Plan but only to the extent such balance (or portion thereof) is then distributable under the terms of the Plan.

(f) Each outstanding promissory note of a Loan Applicant shall be canceled and the unpaid balance of the loan, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be treated as a distribution to or on behalf of the Loan Applicant within 90 days after the date of his termination of employment.

(g) A Loan Applicant may not have more than three loans outstanding at any one time.

Section 13.4 Treatment of Roth Contribution Accounts. For purposes of withdrawals during employment under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 and loans under Section 13.3, Roth Deferral Contribution Accounts shall be treated in the same manner as Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Accounts. Any withdrawal during employment or loans shall be made from a Participant’s Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Account and Roth Deferral Contribution Account pro rata, based on each such Account’s value at the time of distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed no later than his “Required Beginning Date,” which is, for a “5% own er” (as defined in Code Section 416), the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he attains age 70½, or in the case of a Participant who is not a “5% owner”, the April 1 of the later of the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age 70½ or the calendar year in which the Participant retires.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan will apply the minimum distr ibution requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9) (including the incidental dea th benefit rule of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G)) and in accordance with revenue rulings, notices and other guidance published in the Internal Revenue B ulletin reflecting Code Section 401(a)(9), which provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that such provisions shall override the other distribution provisions of the Plan only to the extent that under such other Plan provisions, distribution is not made or does not begin to be made by the date required under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Treasury regulations issued thereunder.

(i) For purposes of applying the provisions of subsection (c), if a Participant dies before distribution of his vested interest in the Plan has begun, distribution of such vested interest to his Beneficiary shall be completed by December 31 of the calendar year in which the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death occurs (the “five-year rule”); provided, however, that this five-year rule shall not apply to an individual designated as Beneficiary by the Participant or under the specific terms of the Plan, if:

(ii) For purposes of subsection (c), distribution of a Participant’s vested interest in the Plan is considered to begin on his Required Beginning Date; provided, however, that distribution irrevocably begun in the form of an annuity shall be considered to begin on the date it actually commences.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section 14.2,

(i) a Participant or Beneficiary who (A) had attained his Required Beginning Date before January 1, 2009, (B) would have been required but for the temporary waiver provisions of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H) to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 (“2009 RMDs”), and (C) would have satisfied the requirement in (B) by receiving distributions that are (1) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (2) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal payments (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years, may elect not to receive such distributions for 2009;

(ii) a Participant or Beneficiary who had attained his Required Beginning Date on or after January 1, 2009 but before January 1, 2010 will not receive the 2009 RMDs as described in paragraph (i) above, unless the Participant or Beneficiary requests such distribution; and

(iii) the amounts of the 2009 RMDs received by a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to subsection (d) shall not be eligible for a Direct Rollover under Section 14.4.

Section 14.3 Form of Distribution on Termination of Employment. The entire value of all vested amounts credited to a Participant will be distributable to him or, in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary in a lump sum, subject to the following:

(a) Installments. A Participant may elect to have his benefits paid in approximately equal monthly, quarterly or annual installments over a period not exceeding his life expectancy or, if applicable, the joint life expectancies of the Participant and his Beneficiary. Prior to receiving payment in the form of installments, a Participant’s outstanding loans under the Plan, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be treated as a distribution. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, a Participant may elect that, in the event of his death, his benefits will be paid to his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in annual installments over the remaining period of his original election. Each installment shall be charged pro-rata to the Participant’s Accounts unless otherwise elected by the Participant.

(b) Small Account Balances. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a total Participant’s vested Account balance is $5,000 or less (excluding Rollover Contributions), such balances shall be distributed as soon as practicable after his termination of employment in a lump-sum payment; provided, however, in the event of a

33

distribution under this Section 14.3(b) that is greater than $1,000 (but that does not exceed $5,000), if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid in a Direct Rollover (pursuant to Section 14.4) to an eligible retirem ent plan (as defined in Section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Code) specified by the Participant or to receive the distribution directly, then the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator.

(c) Assets Distributable. Generally, all distribution amounts from the Member Investment Component and Profit Sharing Component shall be determined by the recordkeeper using the net asset values of the Participant’s Investment Fund accounts as of the date that authorized distribution directions are received by the recordkeeper, and shall be paid in cash. Distributions attributable to amounts in the Company Stock Component shall be paid in Company Stock; provided, however, a Participant may elect to receive all or part of his distribution in the form of cash; and provided, further, if a Participant elects to receive installment payments, his distribution shall be in cash.

(d) Post-Termination Partial Withdrawal After Age 55. A Participant who has terminated employment and reached age 55 may withdraw any portion of his Accounts under the Plan upon requesting a withdrawal from the recordkeeper.

Section 14.4 Direct Rollovers.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Participant’s distribution election, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(f)(2)(A) of the Code) paid directly to an eligible retirem ent plan (as defined in Section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Code) specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. An eligible rollover distribution made to a Participant may be rolled over directly to a Ro th IRA (as described in Section 408A of the Code), subject to the restrictions set forth in such Code Section.

(b) Definitions.

(i) “Distributee”: A Distributee includes all Participants. With respect to a non-spouse Beneficiary, the term “eligible retirement plan” means an individual retireme nt account described in Section 408(b) of the Code (including a Roth IRA) which is established specifically for this purpose.

(ii) “Direct Rollover”: A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the Distributee.

Section 14.5 Distributions of Roth Deferral Contribution Accounts.

(a) Distributions after Termination. For purposes of ARTICLE IX, Roth Deferral Contribution Accounts shall be treated in the same manner as Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions Accounts.

(b) Qualified Distribution. Distributions from a Roth Deferral Contribution Account shall not be subject to taxation if the distribution is a qualified distributio n, as described in Code Section 402A(d)(2). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

34

the taxation of any distribution from the Roth Deferral Contribution Account shall be consistent with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 402A.

(c) Direct Rollovers. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a direct rollover of a distribution from a Roth Deferral Contribution Account under the Plan will only be made to another Roth contribution account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) or to a Rot h IRA described in Code Section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c). Eligible rollover distributions from a Participant’s Roth Deferral Contribution Account shall be taken into account in determining whether the total amount of the Participant’s Account balances under Section 14.3(b) of the Plan exceed $1,000 or $5,000, as applicable, for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan.

Section 14.6 Facility of Payment; Incapacity.

(a) Whenever, and as often as, any person entitled to payments under the Plan is a minor or under other legal disability or, in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, shall otherwise be unable to apply such payments to his own best interest or advantage, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, direct that any payment due to him, unless claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or legal representative, shall be made directly to him or to another for his benefit without responsibility of the Plan Administrator, the Trustee, or the Company or any Related Company to see to the application of such payments, and the decision of the Plan Administrator shall in each case be final and binding upon all persons in interest.

(b) Prior to distribution under the Plan to any person who is a minor or under other legal disability or, in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, shall otherwise be unable to manage his financial affairs, such person’s duly appointed guardian or legal representative or other representative demonstrated to the Plan Administrator’s satisfaction to be authorized to act on behalf of such person may act on such person’s behalf under the Plan in respect of such person’s Account, and neither the Plan Administrator, the Trustee nor the Company or any Related Company shall be liable for any actions so taken or not taken by such representative.

Section 14.7 Interests Not Transferable. The interests of Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan and Trust agreement are not subject to the claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered, except in the case of certain qualified domestic relations orders which relate to the provision of child support, alimony or marital rights of a spouse, child or other dependent and which meet such other requirements as may be imposed by Section 414(p) of the Code or regulations issued thereunder. The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under domestic relations orders which are deemed to be qualified orders. Such procedures shall be in writing and shall comply with the provisions of Section 414(p) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. Distributions to an alternate payee (as defined under Section 414(p)(8) of the Code) under a qualified domestic relations order are permitted at any time, irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his earliest retiremen t age (as defined under Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code) under the Plan. A distribution to an alternate payee before the Participant’s attainment of earliest retirement age is available only if: (a) the order specifies distribution at that time or permits an agreement

35

between the Plan and the alternate payee to authorize an earlier distribution; and (b) the alternate payee consents to any distribution occurring prior to the Participant’s attainment of earliest retirement age, if the present value of the alternate payee’s benefits under the Plan exceeds $5,000.

Section 14.8 Absence of Guaranty. There is no guarantee, by any person, that the Trust Fund will not suffer losses or depreciation. The Company does not guarantee any payment to any person. The liability of the Trustee to make any payment is limited to the available assets of the Trust Fund.

Section 14.9 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant, from time to time, in writing, may designate any person or persons (who may be designated contingently or successively) to whom his benefits are to be paid if he dies before he receives all of his benefits; provided, however, that if a Participant is married on the date of his death, any designation as Beneficiary of a person other than his spouse shall be effective only if:

(a) his spouse acknowledges the effect of that designation and consents to it and to the specific person or persons or class of persons so designated in a writing in such form as may be established from time to time, which writing is witnessed by a notary; or

(b) it is established to the satisfaction of an authorized Plan representative that the co nsent required under subsection (a) above cannot be obtained because there is no spouse, because the spouse cannot be located, the Participant is legally separated or the Participant has been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect, or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in regulations.

Beneficiary designation forms will be effective only when the signed form is filed while the Participant is alive and will cancel all Beneficiary designation forms signed earlier. Subject to the terms of any qualified domestic relations order under Section 14.7, or unless the Participant has indicated otherwise on the Beneficiary designation form, any designation of a Beneficiary identified as the Participant’s spouse shall be deemed revoked by the divorce of the Participant and such Beneficiary. Such revocation shall be effective upon receipt of acceptable documentary evidence of divorce, delivered to the Plan Administrator or its delegate, and neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator or its delegate shall be liable for any payment made to a Beneficiary in absence of such documentation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this ARTICLE IX, if a deceased Participant failed to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the designated Beneficiary of a deceased Participant dies before him or before complete payment of the Participant’s benefits, benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse or if the Participant and the surviving spouse had been married for less than one year, to the legal representative or representatives of the estate of the last to die of the Participant and his Beneficiary. If there is any question as to the right of any Beneficiary to receive a distribution under the Plan, the Plan Administrator may exercise discretion in a manner that permits the Trustee to make payment to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate. The term “Beneficiary” as used in the Plan means the person or persons to whom a deceased Participant’s benefits are payable under this Section 14.9.

36

Section 14.10 Missing Recipient. Each Participant must file in writing his post office address from time to time and file in writing each change of post office address. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant at his last known post office address, or if no address is known then at the Participant’s last post office address as shown on the Company’s records, will be binding on the Participant for all purposes of the Plan. The Plan Administrator will make a reasonable effort to find the Participant. If a Participant entitled to benefits under the Plan fails to claim such benefits and it is not possible to reasonably find his whereabouts, such benefits shall be forfeited and shall be used until exhausted to reduce the Company contributions otherwise required under ARTICLE VII, of the Company or Related Company which last employed the Participant. If the location of the Participant is subsequently determined, such forfeiture shall be restored by the Company, without adjustment for earnings from the date of forfeiture, and such restoration shall not be treated as an Annual Addition for purposes of Section 12.1.

Section 14.11 Put Option. Shares of Company Stock acquired by the Trust shall be subject to a put option if the shares are not readily tradable on an established securities market within the meaning of Section 409(h)(1)(B) of the Code when distributed (or cease to be readily tradable on an established securities market after distribution). The put option shall be exercisable by the Participant or his Beneficiary. The put option shall be exercisable during a 15-month period which begins on the date the shares subject to the put option are distributed by the Plan. During this period, the holder of the put option shall have the right to cause the Company, by notifying it in writing, to purchase such shares at their Fair Market Value, as determined pursuant to Section 11.5. The put option shall continue to apply to shares of the Company Stock distributed by the Plan even if the Company Stock Component should at any time cease to be an employee sto ck ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. The Committee may give the Trustee the option to assume the rights and obligations of the Company at the time the put option is exercised with respect to the repurchase of Company Stock.

If the entire value of all nonforfeitable amounts credited to a Participant is distributed to the Participant within one taxable year, payment of the price of the Company Stock purchased pursuant to an exercised put option shall be made in no more than five substantially equal annual payments, and the first installment shall be paid not later than thirty days after the Participant exercises the put option. The Plan shall provide adequate security and pay a reasonable rate of interest on amounts not paid after thirty days. If the entire value of all nonforfeitable amounts credited to a Participant is not distributed to the Participant within one taxable year, payment of the price of the Company Stock purchased pursuant to an exercised put option shall be made in a single sum not later than thirty days after the Participant exercises the put option.

ARTICLE XV

VOTING OF COMPANY STOCK

Each Participant, or, if applicable, his Beneficiary, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the exercise of all voting rights attributable to shares of Company Stock then allocated to such Participant’s Account in the Company Stock Component. All allocated Company Stock as to which such instructions have been received (which may include an instruction to abstain) shall be voted in accordance with such instructions. The Company and the Trustee shall take all steps necessary to assure that Participants’ directions shall remain confidential. The Company shall

37

furnish the Trustee and each Participant with notices and information statements when voting rights are to be exercised in a time and manner which comply with applicable law. However, the Trustee shall vote any unallocated Company Stock in such manner as directed by the Investment Committee, unless the Trustee shall determine that to do so would be inconsistent with the provisions of Title I of ERISA. For purposes of instructing the Trustee as to the voting or tender of any unallocated Company Stock, the Investment Committee shall be deemed a named fiduciary of the Plan as provided in Section 403(a)(1) of ERISA. The Trustee shall vote any allocated Company Stock as to which no voting instructions have been received in the same proportion as allocated shares with respect to which it does receive directions, unless the Trustee shall determine that to do so would be inconsiste nt with the provisions of Title I of ERISA.

In the event of a tender or exchange offer (an “Offer”) for shares of Company Stock, the Company, in conjunction with the Trustee, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Participants to be furnished with all information as will be distributed to the stockholders of the Company in respect to such Offer, and to be provided with forms by which the Participant may confidentially instruct the Trustee, or revoke such instruction, to tender or exchange shares of Company Stock allocated to his Account, to the extent permitted under the terms of such Offer. Upon timely receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall follow the directions of each Participant as to the shares of Company Stock allocated to such Participant’s Account. Instructions received by the Trustee from Participants in connection with an Offer shall be held in strict confidence and, except as otherwise required by law, shall not be divulged or released to any person, including officers and other Worker Members of the Company. The Company and the Trustee shall take all steps necessary to assure that Participants’ directions shall remain confidential. The Trustee shall tender or exchange any unallocated Company Stock in such manner as directed by the Investment Committee, unless the Trustee shall determine that to do so would be inconsistent with the provisions of Title I of ERISA. The Trustee shall tender or exchange any allocated Company Stock as to which no instructions are received in the same proportion as allocated shares with respect to which it does receive directions, unless the Trustee shall determine that to do so would be inconsistent with the provisions of Title I of ERISA.

ARTICLE XVI

(h) to recommend changes in the Plan to the Company, or its delegate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment that reasonably is expected to result in an increase of Plan costs by more than $1,000,000 on an annual basis, or any amendment to the Company Stock Component shall be made to the Board of Directors, which can accept or reject such recommendations at its discretion.

Section 16.3 Application of Rules. In operating and administering the Plan, the Committee shall apply all rules of procedure and regulations adopted by it in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

Section 16.4 Remuneration and Expenses. No remuneration shall be paid to any Committee member who is a full time employee of the Company. A Committee member who is not a full time employee of the Company shall be entitled to compensation plus reimbursement of reasonable travel and other expenses.

The Committee and the individual members thereof and any Worker Members to whom the Committee has delegated responsibility in accordance with Section 16.2(f) shall be indemnified by the Company from and against any and all claims of liability to which he or she is subjected by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in good faith in connection with his or her duties as a Committee member, including all expenses reasonably incurred in his or her defense if the Company fails to provide such defense. No Committee member shall be liable for any act or omission of any other Committee member, nor for any act or omission upon his or her own part, excepting his or her own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 16.6 Exercise of Committee’s Duties. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall discharge its duties hereunder solely in the interests of the Participants in the Plan and other persons entitled to benefits thereunder, and

39

(a) for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and other persons entitled to benefits thereunder, and for defraying reasonable administrative expenses of the Plan; and

(b) with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.

Section 16.7 Information to Be Furnished to Committee. The Company shall furnish the Committee such data and information as may be appropriate. The records of the Company as to a Participant’s period of employment, termination of employment and the reasons therefor, leave of absence, reemployment and Eligible Pay and Eligible Wages will be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the Plan.

Section 16.8 Resignation or Removal of Committee Member. A Committee member who ceases to be employed by the Company or an entity that is a member of the Company’s controlled group of corporations, as determined by the Company, or its delegate, then he or she automatically shall be deemed to have resigned from the Committee as of the date of his or her termination of employment.

Section 16.9 Appointment of Successor Committee Member. The Company, or its delegate, may fill any vacancy in the membership of the Committee and shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Committee members and the Trustee. While there is a vacancy in the membership of the Committee, the remaining Committee members shall have the same powers as the full Committee until the vacancy is filled.

Section 16.10 Expenses of Administration. All reasonable and ordinary expenses of establishing and administering the Plan and the Trust will be paid by the Plan, to the extent permitted under applicable law, unless paid by the Company, including expenses of litigation in connection with the Plan, except where a Plan fiduciary is found by a court of law to have engaged in willful misconduct in regard to the Plan or Trust. The Committee may direct that certain administrative expenses shall be paid directly from the Accounts of the Participants and former Participants (or their Beneficiaries or alternate payees), including, but not limited to, loan fees, withdrawal fees, Investment Fund fees and recordkeeping expenses and the Committee may direct that some or all of those expenses shall only be paid from the Accounts of former Participants (or their Beneficiaries or alternate payees).

Section 16.11 Claims Procedure.

(a) Initial Claim for Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary believes he has not received the benefit he is entitled to receive under the Plan, the Participant or Beneficiary, or their designated representative (collectively, the “Claimant”) may file with the Committee a written claim for benefits. The Committee or its designee (“Claims Administrator”) must render its decision on the claim within 90 days of the Claimant’s written claim for benefits. If the Claims Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing the claim is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90 day period. The extension notice

40

shall indicate the circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination.

(b) Notification by the Plan Administrator. In the event the Claims Administrator denies a claim for benefits in whole or in part, the Claims Administrator will notify the Claimant in writing of the denial of the claim. Such notice by the Claims Administrator will also set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, the specific reason for such denial, the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim with an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure and of his right to fi le a civil action under Section 402(a) of ERISA following a claim denial on final review.

(c) Review Procedure. A Claimant may appeal a denial of his claim by requesting a review of the decision by the Committee. An appeal must be submitted in writing within 60 days after the denial and must (i) request a review of the claim for benefits under the Plan, (ii) set forth all of the grounds upon which the Claimant’s request for review is based and any facts in support thereof, and (iii) set forth any issues or comments which the Claimant deems pertinent to the appeal. The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim. The Committee will provide for a full and fair review of the claim denial that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The review of the claim denial will be undertaken by the Committee or the person or persons, acting as “named fiduciaries,” to whom such power and duty has been delegated by the Committee. In performing its duties hereunder, the Plan fiduciary shall have the powers to interpret the Plan and make factual findings with respect thereto as are granted to the Committee under Section 16.2(c), and its determination shall be final and binding on participants, beneficiaries and others.

(d) Decision on Review. The Committee will issue a decision on review not later than 60 days after receipt of a request for review from a Claimant unless special circumstances require a longer period of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than 120 days after receipt of the Claimant’s request for review. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to make the determination on review regarding a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.

(e) Notification of Decision on Review. The decision on review shall be in writing (or in electronic form) and shall include:

(i) specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant;

41

(ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based;

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

(iv) a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA.

(f) Exhaustion of Remedies. A decision on review shall be final and binding on all persons for all purposes. A Claimant who fails to file a request for review in accordance with the claims procedure established by the Committee shall have no right to review and shall have no right to bring an action with respect to the claim in any court.

ARTICLE XVII

THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE

Section 17.1 Establishment of Investment Committee. The Company, or its delegate, shall appoint an Investment Committee of at least five Members. The Investment Committee shall control the investment policy of the Plan (subject, in the case of the Company Stock Component, to Sections 11.1 and 17.5 of the Plan) and shall select the Investment Funds under the Plan as described in Section 10.1. If an Investment Committee member who is an employee of the Company ceases to be employed by the Company or an entity that is a member of the Company’s controlled group of corporations, as determined by the Company, or its delegate, then he or she automatically shall be deemed to have resigned from the Investment Committee as of the date of his or her termination of employment. No remuneration shall be paid to any Investment Committee member who is a full time employee of the Company. An Investment Committee member who is not a full time employee of the Company shall be entitled to compensation plus reimbursement of reasonable travel and other expenses.

Section 17.2 Majority Action. Any action taken by the Investment Committee shall be by a majority of the members thereof. The Investment Committee may act by voting at a meeting or by writing without a meeting. Any action of the Investment Committee shall be sufficiently evidenced if it is certified thereto by any member thereof or by the secretary.

Section 17.3 Powers of the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee shall have the following powers:

(a) To adopt such bylaws as it shall deem necessary for the development of an efficient and sound investment program.

(b) To employ advisors (who may, but need not, be advisors to the Company) with respect to investment, actuarial, legal, accounting and other matters as it may deem necessary for the proper exercise of its duties.

(c) To appoint one of its members, or any Worker Member of the Company, to act as secretary of the Investment Committee.

42

The foregoing list of express powers is not intended to be either complete or inclusive, and the Investment Committee shall have such additional powers as it may reasonably deem to be necessary for the performance of its duties under the Plan and Trust.

Section 17.4 Duties of the Investment Committee. As a part of its general duties in supervising the investment policy of an Investment Fund, the Investment Committee shall:

(a) Review the investment portfolio constituting the Investment Fund at least annually.

(b) Give the Trustee specific directions in writing with respect to investments, reinvestments and changing of investments, all as set out in the Trust Agreement.

(c) Report annually to the Company as to the investment performance of the Investment Fund for the Plan Year ending on such date.

(e) Advise the Plan Administrator with respect to any costs, expenses, taxes or other charges (excluding any loss as a result of the sale of assets) incurred solely by reason of a sale or purchase of assets in order to properly reallocate assets between the separate Investment Funds established hereunder, and, at the request of the Committee, advise the Committee with respect to the proper apportionment of said costs, expenses, taxes or other charges, so as to fairly reflect that portion attributable to the reallocation of assets on behalf of each Participant.

Section 17.5 Authority of the Investment Committee with respect to the Company Stock Component. The Investment Committee shall be the sole “named fiduciary” within the meaning of Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA with respect to the Company Stock Component, with the limited authority set forth in this Section 17.5. The Investment Committee may communicate with Participants with respect to the Company Stock Component from time to time, and may instruct the Trustee regarding the Company Stock Component with respect to matters within the authority of the Investment Committee.

In exercising any authority with respect to the Company Stock Component, the Investment Committee shall take into account the purpose of the Company Stock Component and the Company’s intent with respect to the Company Stock Component and the other considerations relating thereto, all as set forth in Section 11.1, to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA. In that regard, it is the Company’s expectation that the Investment Committee will maintain the Company Stock Component on a permanent basis, and that the Company Stock Component will continue to be invested exclusively in Company Stock unless the Investment Committee determines that it is required by applicable law to disregard the terms of the Plan, such as in the case of the Company’s imminent collapse or other dire circumstance affecting the Company.

Section 17.6 Indemnification of the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee and the individual members thereof shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company (to the extent not indemnified or saved harmless under any liability insurance or other

43

indemnification arrangement with respect to his or her duties as a Member) from and against any and all claims of liability to which he or she is subjected by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in good faith in connection with his or her duties as a Member, including all expenses reasonably incurred in his or her defense if the Company fails to provide such defense. No Member shall be liable for any act or omission of any other Member, nor for any act or omission upon his or her own part, excepting his or her own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

ARTICLE XVIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 18.1 Amendment. While the Company expects and intends to continue the Plan, the Company reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time, provided, that no amendment shall reduce a Participant’s benefits to less than the amount he would be entitled to receive if he had resigned from the employ of the Company immediately prior to the effective date of the amendment. Notwithstanding this Section 18.1, with respect to officers of the Company who are subject to Article 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any provisions relating to their participation in the Plan or the price, timing and amount of contributions or allocations of Company Stock to their Accounts may not be amended more frequently than once every six months, other than to comply with any amendments required under the Code, ERISA or any regulations and rulings thereunder.

The written explanation shall include an explanation of the eligibility conditions, other material features and relative values of the optional forms of benefits under the Plan, a general explanation of the relative financial effect on the MPC Participant’s benefit of the waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and an explanation of the right to defer receipt of the MPC Participant’s benefit until his normal retirement age, and the consequences of failing to defer such receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such explanation may be provided no less than seven (7) days before the date distribution or withdrawal would otherwise be made or commenced if the MPC Participant (and the MPC Participant’s Spouse unless the benefit is paid in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity) consents to a waiver of the 30-day notice period.

(vi) Each married MPC Participant shall be provided with a written explanation of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, within the following period which ends last: (A) the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the MPC Participant attains age 32 and ending on the last day of the Plan Year in which the MPC Participant attains age 34; or (B) a reasonable period after the MPC Participant becomes a Participant. A reasonable period described in clause (B) is the period beginning one year before and ending one year after the event. If the MPC Participant separates from service before attaining age 35, clauses (A) and (B) do not apply and the Committee must provide the written explanation within the period beginning one year before and ending one year after the severance from service. The written explanation must describe, in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations, the terms and conditions of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity.

(c) Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section B-6:

(i) Election Period means the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the MPC Participant attains age 35 and ends on the date of the MPC Participant’s death. If an MPC Participant separates from service before the first day of the Plan Year in which he or she attains age 35, with respect to the MPC Money Purchase Account as of the date of separation, the Election Period shall begin on the date of separation. An MPC Participant whose employment has not terminated may elect to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity prior to the Plan Year in which he attains age 35, provided that any such waiver shall cease to be effective as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the MPC Participant attains age 35.

(ii) Qualified Election means a waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, as such waiver is further described in this subsection (c)(ii). The Qualified Election must be executed in writing, with the written consent of the MPC Participant’s Spouse. The Spouse’s consent must be witnessed by the Plan Administrator or notary public and must acknowledge the financial effect of the waiver. If the Qualified Election designates a non-Spouse Beneficiary or a specific form of payment, the Spouse’s consent must also acknowledge the non-Spouse Beneficiary or Beneficiaries and the specific form of payment, as applicable. Any consent necessary under this provision will be valid only with respect to the Spouse who signs the consent or is deemed to have signed the consent. Any subsequent change to the Qualified Election requires a new consent by the MPC Participant’s Spouse, unless the Spouse in writing acknowledges the Spouse’s right to limit the consent to a specific designation of a payment form and/or specific Beneficiary and affirmatively waives that right. Additionally, a revocation of a prior waiver may be made by an MPC Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before the commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. The Spouse’s consent to a waiver is irrevocable, unless the MPC Participant revokes the waiver election. Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if the MPC Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that such written consent cannot be obtained because there is no Spouse, the Spouse cannot be located, the MPC Participant is legally separated from, or has been abandoned by, the Spouse (within the meaning of local law) and the MPC Participant has a court order to that effect, or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in regulations, a waiver will be deemed a Qualified Election.

(iii) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity means, with respect to a married MPC Participant, an immediate annuity that can purchased with the balance of the MPC Participant’s MPC Money Purchase Account to be withdrawn or distributed and that would be payable over the joint life expectancies of the MPC Participant and the Spouse, with a survivor annuity payable for the life of the Spouse in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%), or such greater percentage as elected by the MPC Participant but not more than one hundred percent (100%), of the amount payable during the MPC Participant’s lifetime. With respect to an unmarried MPC Participant, a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity means an annuity for the life of the MPC Participant that can be purchased with the balance of the MPC Participant’s MPC Money Purchase Account to be withdrawn or distributed. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to a married MPC Participant, the automatic Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity will be a 50% joint and survivor annuity.

(iv) Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity means an annuity, payable for the life of the Surviving Spouse that can be purchased with the balance of the MPC Participant’s MPC Money Purchase Account. Payment of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall commence as soon as practicable after the Surviving Spouse’s request for distribution, but in no event

later than December 31 of the calendar year beginning after the later of the date of the MPC Participant’s death or the date the MPC Participant would have attained age 70-1/2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Spouse may elect, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee and in lieu of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, to have the balance of the MPC Money Purchase Account paid in one of the forms of benefit available under the Plan under Section 14.3 (subject to Section 14.3(b) and Section 14.3(c)).

(v) Spouse (or Surviving Spouse) means the spouse or surviving spouse of the MPC Participant, provided that a former Spouse will be treated as the Spouse or Surviving Spouse to the extent required under a “qualified domestic relations order” as described in Section 414(p) of the Code.
