The Plan was amended and restated generally effective January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013, in each case to reflect certain design changes; incorporate amendments; and make certain other clarifying changes. The Plan was most recently amended and restated generally effective January 1, 2014, except as otherwise required by law or provided therein, to incorporate amendments (including the amendment to reflect the Company's sale of its ownership interest in Thunder Creek Gas Services, L.L.C. and the Plan ceasing to be a multiple employer plan as a result of such sale); amend the definition of "Spouse," to reflect the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor; and related guidance and to make certain other clarifying changes.

(1)A Participant who has attained the fifth anniversary of the later of his or her (i) Employment Commencement Date and (ii) Reemployment Commencement Date shall receive a Matching Contribution equal to 100% of such Participant's Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions, so long as such Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions do not exceed 6% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year;

(2)A Participant who has not yet attained the fifth anniversary of the later of his or her (i) Employment Commencement Date and (ii) Reemployment Commencement Date shall receive a Matching Contribution equal to 100% of such Participant's Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions, so long as such Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions do not exceed 3% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year; and

(3)A Participant who (i) was an active participant in the Pension Plan on October 1, 2007, (ii) elected to continue to accrue benefits under the Pension Plan and (iii) is not a Company Retirement Contribution Eligible Participant shall receive a Matching Contribution equal to 100% of such Participant's Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions, so long as such Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions do not exceed 6% of the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year.

(b)True-Up Matching Contribution. In the event that the Employer makes Matching Contributions more frequently than once per Plan Year (and at least quarterly), the Employer shall make a "True-Up Matching Contribution" to a Participant for each calendar quarter of the Plan Year (i.e., the quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31) in which the Employer makes Matching Contributions. The True-Up Matching Contribution shall be equal to the amount by which, if any, the sum of all prior Matching Contributions made during the applicable quarter of the Plan Year on behalf of the Participant is less than the amount of the Matching Contribution that would have been made on behalf of the Participant if the Matching Contribution had been calculated and made only once at the end of the applicable quarter of the Plan Year. A Participant must be an Employee on the last day of the

applicable quarter of the Plan Year in order to be eligible to receive a True-Up Matching Contribution for that quarter of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.05(b) to the contrary, for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2013, if the Employer makes Matching Contributions more frequently than once per Plan Year, the Employer shall make a True-Up Matching Contribution for the six-month period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2013 (and the Employer shall not be required to make a True-Up Matching Contribution for the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2013); provided, however, that a Participant must be an Employee on June 30, 2013 in order to be eligible to receive a True-Up Matching Contribution for the six-month period ending June 30, 2013.

(c)Allocation. Matching Contributions made pursuant to subsection (a) shall be contributed to the Plan by the Employer and allocated to the Matching Contribution Accounts of the Participants who are eligible to share in such contributions at such time as the Employer deems to be appropriate, in its sole discretion. If Matching Contributions are contributed to the Plan and allocated prior to the end of the Plan Year, such allocations shall be made to the Matching Contribution Accounts of the Participants who are otherwise eligible to receive them regardless of whether such Participant has a Severance from Service. True-Up Matching Contributions made pursuant to subsection (b) shall be contributed to the Plan by the Employer and allocated to the Matching Contribution Accounts of the Participants who are eligible to receive such contributions, as determined under subsection (b), as the Employer deems to be appropriate, in its sole discretion.

(a)Rollover Contributions. Subject to such uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures established by the Committee, the Plan shall accept, as "Rollover Contributions" made on behalf of any Eligible Employee, cash equal to (1) all or a portion of the amount (excluding after-tax contributions) received by the Eligible Employee as a distribution from an eligible rollover plan as defined in Section 8.08, or (2) an amount (excluding after-tax contributions) transferred directly to the Plan (pursuant to Code section 401(a)(31)) on the Eligible Employee's behalf by the trustee of an eligible rollover plan as defined in Section 8.08, but only if the amount qualifies as a rollover as defined in Code section 402 (or Code section 408, with respect to a rollover from an individual retirement account under Code section 408(b)). Rollover Contributions may include Roth Rollover Contributions but only to the extent that such amounts are transferred directly to the Plan on the Eligible Employee's behalf by the trustee of an "applicable retirement plan" (as described in Code section 402A(e)(1)) and only to the extent that the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). If the amount received does not qualify as a rollover, the amount (plus any earnings attributable thereto) shall be refunded to the Eligible Employee. To the extent not attributable to Roth Rollover Contributions, Rollover Contributions shall be allocated to the Eligible Employee's Rollover Account and invested in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VI. A Rollover Contribution that is a Roth Rollover Contribution shall be allocated to the Eligible Employee's Roth Rollover Account and invested in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VI; provided, however, that any such Roth Rollover Contribution must be accompanied by a statement from the plan administrator of the distributing plan indicating either (i) that the Roth Rollover Contribution is a qualified distribution within the meaning of Code section 402A or (ii) the first year of the five-taxable-year period for the Eligible Employee and the portion of the distribution attributable to basis.

(1)Roth In-Plan Conversions of Accounts other than Rollover Accounts. Subject to the requirements of Code section 402A(c)(4) and regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder, a Participant may convert all or a portion of the non-Roth amounts in his vested Accounts, other than amounts in his Rollover Account, to Roth 401(k) Contributions, subject to the conditions set forth herein, by making a Roth in-plan conversion election. A Participant may make a Roth in-plan conversion election in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Committee for such purpose. Amounts converted pursuant to this paragraph (1) shall be held in the Participant's Roth In-Plan Conversion Account, or one or more subaccounts established for such purposes. Amounts in the Participant's Roth In-Plan Conversion Account, and any earnings on those amounts, shall retain the same distribution restrictions, withdrawal rights and characteristics (including by way of example, and not limitation, treatment as a Salary Deferral or Matching Contribution for purposes of ARTICLE V) that applied to the amount prior to its conversion.

(2)Roth In-Plan Conversions of Rollover Account. Subject to the requirements of this Section 4.06(b) and Code section 402A(c)(4) and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder, a Participant may convert all or a portion of the amounts in his Rollover Account to Roth Rollover Contributions. A Participant may make a Roth in-plan conversion election at any time following notification to the Committee in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Committee for such purpose. Amounts converted pursuant to this paragraph (2) shall be held in the Participant's Roth Rollover Account.

(a)Qualified Nonelective Contributions. Subject to the limitations described in ARTICLE V, the Employer may, in its discretion, make "Qualified Nonelective Contributions" for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated within 12 months after the close of the Plan Year for which such contributions are related to the Qualified Nonelective Contribution Accounts of some or all of those active Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, as determined by the Employer at the time such contributions are made, in an amount necessary to satisfy at least one of the tests in Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Actual Deferral Percentages or Contribution Percentages of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees computed for the prior Plan Year are used in conducting the tests set forth in Section 5.02 for a Plan Year, any Qualified Nonelective Contributions for the Plan Year shall be allocated no later than the end of the Plan Year being so tested. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated in one of the following methods:

(1)In the ratio in which each such Non-Highly Compensated Employee's Compensation for the Plan Year for which the Qualified Nonelective Contribution is being made bears to the total such Compensation of all such Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year.

(2)To the lowest-paid Participant or Participants, who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount that, when allocated to the Participant (alone, or in conjunction with either an allocation of Qualified Matching Contributions or a return of contributions under Section 5.03(a) or 5.03(b)), causes the nondiscrimination tests described in Sections 5.02(a) and 5.02(b) to be satisfied for the Plan Year, (B) the amount that is equal to the maximum Annual Addition permitted under Section 5.04 that may be contributed for the Participant for the Plan Year, or (C) for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the amount permitted to be allocated under Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) or § 1.401(m)‑2(a)(6), as applicable.

(b)Qualified Matching Contributions. The Employer may, in its sole discretion, elect to make "Qualified Matching Contributions" in any amount to satisfy any of the nondiscrimination tests described in Sections 5.02(a) and/or 5.02(b) for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated within 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which such contribution relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Actual Deferral Percentages or Contribution Percentages of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees computed for the prior Plan Year are used in conducting the tests set forth in Section 5.02 for a Plan Year, any Qualified Matching Contributions for the Plan Year shall be allocated no later than the end of the Plan Year being so tested. Qualified Matching Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated to the Qualified Matching Contribution Accounts of Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees and who would be eligible for an allocation of Matching Contributions in accordance with Section 4.05 and in the ratio in which the Salary Deferrals for such Plan Year of each Participant who is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee and who is eligible for a Matching Contribution for such Plan Year bear to the total Salary Deferrals of all such Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year.

(c)Other Corrections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions may also be made to facilitate correction under any Internal Revenue Service correction program.

(a)Salary Deferral Contributions and Roth 401(k) Contributions. A Participant who returns to employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Company following a period of Qualified Military Service shall be permitted to make additional Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions, within the limits described in Section 4.01, up to an amount equal to the Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions that the Participant would have been permitted to contribute to the Plan if he had continued to be employed and received Compensation during the period of Qualified Military Service. Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions under this Section may be made during the period that begins on the date such Participant returns to employment and which has the same length as the lesser of (i) three multiplied by the period of Qualified Military Service and (ii) five years.

(b)Company Retirement Contributions. The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who returns from Qualified Military Service as described in subsection (a) and who is a Company Retirement Contribution Eligible Participant, an amount equal to the Company Retirement Contributions that would have been required under Section 4.04 had such Participant continued to be employed and received Compensation during the period of Qualified Military Service.

(c)Matching Contributions. The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who has made Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions under subsection (a), an amount equal to the Matching Contribution that would have been required under Section 4.05 had such Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions been made during the period of Qualified Military Service.

(d)Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions. The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who returns from Qualified Military Service as described in subsection (a), an amount equal to the Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions that would have been required under Section 4.07 had such Participant continued to be employed and received Compensation during the period of Qualified Military Service.

(e)Limitations on Contributions. To the extent required by Code sections 414(u) and 414(v), the Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made under this Section shall be subject to the limitations described in ARTICLE V for the Plan Year to which such contributions relate.

(f)Reduction of Amounts Contributed During Period of Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, any Salary Deferral, Roth 401(k) Contribution, Company Retirement Contribution, Matching Contribution, Qualified Nonelective Contribution or Qualified Matching Contribution made to the Plan on behalf of a Participant while such Participant is on a period of Qualified Military Service shall reduce any Salary Deferral, Roth 401(k) Contribution, Company Retirement Contribution, Matching Contribution, Qualified Nonelective Contribution or Qualified Matching Contribution that can be made on behalf of such Participant under the terms of this Section if the Participant returns to employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Company following a period of Qualified Military Service.

4.09Timing of Contributions. Company Retirement Contributions and Matching Contributions (including True-Up Matching Contributions) for any Plan Year under this Article shall be made no later than the last date on which amounts so paid may be deducted for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year of the Employer in which the Plan Year ends. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.07, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the contributions relate. Amounts contributed as Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon as administratively practicable following the month in which such contributions were withheld from the Participant's Compensation. The requirements of this Section shall not apply to contributions made pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to Qualified Military Service.

4.10Contingent Nature of Contributions. Each contribution made by the Employer pursuant to the provisions of this Article is made expressly contingent on its deductibility for federal income tax purposes for the fiscal year with respect to which such contribution is made, and no such contribution shall be made for any year to the extent it would exceed the deductible limit for such year as set forth in Code section 404. Contributions by the Employer or any Affiliated Company for any Employee who should have been included as a Participant but was erroneously omitted, contributions necessary to satisfy the top-heavy requirements of Code section 416, and contributions for reemployed Participants made to restore the undistributed portion of the reemployed Participant's account balance are not conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution to the Employer or Affiliated Company.

4.11Exclusive Benefit; Refund of Contributions. All contributions made to the Plan are made for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and such contributions shall not be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries (including the costs of maintaining and administering the Plan and corresponding trust). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such refunds do not, in themselves, deprive the Plan of its qualified status, refunds of contributions shall be made to the Employer under the following circumstances and subject to the following limitations:

(a)Initial Nonqualification. If, upon the timely filing of a determination letter application on the qualified status of the Plan, the Plan is determined not to initially satisfy the qualification requirements of Code section 401(a), and if the Employer declines to amend the Plan to satisfy such qualification requirements of Code section 401(a), contributions made prior to the determination that the Plan has failed to qualify shall be returned to the Employer within one year of such determination.

(b)Disallowance of Deduction. To the extent that a federal income tax deduction is disallowed, in whole or in part, for any contribution made by an Employer, or such contribution is otherwise nondeductible and recovery thereof is permitted, the Trustee shall refund to the Employer the amount so disallowed within one year of the date of such disallowance or as otherwise permitted by applicable administrative rules.

(c)Mistake of Fact. In the case of a contribution that is made in whole or in part by reason of a mistake of fact, so much of the Employer contribution as is attributable to the mistake of fact shall be returnable to the Employer upon demand, upon presentation of evidence of the mistake of fact to the Trustee and of calculations as to the impact of such mistake. Demand and repayment must be effectuated within one year after the payment of the contribution to which the mistake applies.

In the event that any refund is paid to the Employer hereunder, such refund shall be made without regard to net investment gains attributable to the contribution, but shall be reduced to reflect net investment losses attributable thereto.

(a)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions made on behalf of an active Participant under this Plan together with elective deferrals (as defined in Code section 402(g)) and Roth deferrals made under any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company shall not exceed such amount as is applicable for a calendar year under Code section 402(g) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder for any calendar year (including, if applicable, the amount of Salary Deferrals permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Plan for a calendar year as catch-up contributions under Code section 414(v)). Participants who formerly participated in another plan not maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company prior to their Employment Commencement Date may notify the Committee of such prior plan participation and shall provide documentation of any contributions credited under such prior plan. Furthermore, should a Participant claim that his Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions under this Plan when added to his other elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement (whether or not maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company) exceed the limit imposed by Code section 402(g) for the calendar year in which the deferrals occurred, the Committee shall distribute, by April 15 of the following calendar year, the amount of Salary Deferrals (including, if applicable, Salary Deferrals made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) as catch-up contributions) and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions specified in the Participant's claim, plus income thereon determined in the manner described in Section 5.03(c) or recharacterize such excess Salary Deferrals as Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted by Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. The Participant's claim shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the Committee prior to March 1 following the calendar year in which such deferrals occurred. A Participant shall be deemed to have made a claim for distribution of excess deferrals from the Plan to the extent that his Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions together with his elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company exceed the limit imposed by Code section 402(g) for the calendar year. For purposes of determining the necessary reduction, (1) Salary Deferrals previously distributed pursuant to Section 5.03(a) or returned to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.04 shall be treated as distributed under this Section, and (2) Salary Deferrals not taken into account in determining Matching Contributions under Section 4.05 shall be reduced first.

(b)In the event a Participant receives a distribution of excess Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions pursuant to subsection (a), the Participant shall forfeit any Matching Contributions (plus income thereon determined as described in Section 5.03(c)) allocated to the Participant by reason of the distributed Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions. Amounts forfeited shall be used first to reduce future Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.05 and then Company Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.04.

5.02Nondiscrimination Limitations on Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, and Matching Contributions.

(a)Salary Deferral and Roth 401(k) Contribution Limitations. With respect to Salary Deferrals for any Plan Year (excluding Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b)) and Roth 401(k) Contributions, one of the following tests must be satisfied:

(1)The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(2)The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by two; provided that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the applicable Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants by more than two percentage points.

(b)Matching Contribution Limitations. With respect to Matching Contributions for any Plan Year, one of the following tests must be satisfied:

(1)The Average Contribution Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(2)The Average Contribution Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by two; provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the applicable Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants by more than two percentage points.

(c)For purposes of subsections (a) and (b), this Plan shall be aggregated and treated as a single plan with other plans maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company to the extent that this Plan is aggregated with any such other plan for purposes of satisfying Code section 410(b) (other than Code section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)).

(d)If the Committee elects to apply Code section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether Salary Deferrals and any Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Salary Deferrals under Section 4.07 meet the requirements of Section 5.02(a) or determining whether Matching Contributions (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Salary Deferrals for the Plan Year under Section 4.07) meet the requirements of Section 5.02(b), the Committee may either exclude from consideration all Participants (other than Highly Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A), or disaggregate the Employees who have not met such minimum age and service requirements and test them separately.

(e)The determination and treatment of the Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and Qualified Matching Contributions, Actual Deferral Percentage and Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

(a)If the nondiscrimination tests of Section 5.02(a) are not satisfied with respect to Salary Deferrals for any Plan Year, the Committee shall (1) determine the amount by which the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in Section 5.02(a); (2) convert the excess percentage amount determined under clause (1) into a dollar amount; and (3) reduce the Salary Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the greatest dollar amount of Salary Deferrals by the lesser of (A) the amount by which the Highly Compensated Employee's Salary Deferrals exceeds the Salary Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Salary Deferrals or (B) the amount of the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). This process shall be repeated until the Salary Deferrals of Highly Compensated Employees have been reduced by an amount equal to the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). The Salary Deferrals of any Highly Compensated Employee which must be reduced pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be reduced (i) first, by distributing Salary Deferrals not taken into account in determining Matching Contributions under Section 4.05, and (ii) next by distributing Salary Deferrals not described in clause (i), within 12 months of the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the reduction applies, and the provisions of Section 5.01(b) regarding the forfeiture of related Matching Contributions shall apply. For purposes of determining the necessary reduction, Salary Deferrals previously distributed pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be treated as distributed under this Section 5.03(a) and Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall not be taken into account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Committee and in accordance with rules uniformly applicable to all affected Participants, the Actual Deferral Percentage reduction described in this Section may be accomplished, in whole or in part, by recharacterizing excess Salary Deferrals as Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted by Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. For purposes of this subsection (a), Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be treated in the same manner as Salary Deferrals. To the extent the Participant made both Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions to the Plan, excess amounts shall be distributed from the Participant's Account(s) in the following order: Salary Deferral Account, Roth In-Plan Conversion Account (to the extent such amounts are attributable to a Roth in-plan conversion of Salary Deferrals for the Plan Year), and Roth 401(k) Contribution Account.

(b)If the nondiscrimination tests of Section 5.02(b) are not satisfied with respect to Matching Contributions for any Plan Year, the Committee shall (1) determine the amount by which the Actual Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in Section 5.02(b); (2) convert the excess percentage amount determined under clause (1) into a dollar amount; and (3) reduce the excess contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the greatest dollar amount of Matching

Contributions by the lesser of (A) the amount by which the dollar amount of the affected Highly Compensated Employee's Matching Contributions exceeds the dollar amount of the Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions or (B) the amount of the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). This process shall be repeated until the Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees has been reduced by an amount equal to the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). The Matching Contributions of any Highly Compensated Employee that must be reduced pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be reduced by distributing Matching Contributions (or forfeiting such Matching Contributions if the Participant is not vested in such amounts) first from the Participant's Matching Contribution Account, and second, if applicable, from the Participant's Roth In-Plan Conversion Account (to the extent such amounts are attributable to a Roth in-plan conversion of Matching Contributions for the Plan Year), within 12 months of the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the reduction applies. Amounts forfeited under this subsection (b) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to restore a reemployed Participant's Account as provided under Section 7.04 and to restore the Account of a Participant who was unlocatable as provided under Section 16.13, (ii) next, to reduce future Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.05, (iii) next, to reduce future Company Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.04, (iv) next, to satisfy the top-heavy minimum allocation provisions under Section 10.03, (v) next, to provide Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions under Section 4.07, and (vi) last, to reduce the reasonable expenses of the administration of the Plan.

(c)Any distribution, recharacterization or forfeiture of Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions necessary pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) shall include a distribution or forfeiture of the income, if any, allocable to such contributions. Such income shall be equal to the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year (determined by multiplying the income allocable to the Participant's Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions, as applicable, for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's excess Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions, as applicable, for the Plan Year and the denominator is the sum of the Participant's Salary Deferral Account, Roth In-Plan Conversion Account, Roth 401(k) Account or Matching Contribution Account, as applicable, as of the beginning of the Plan Year plus any contributions made to the applicable Account during the Plan Year).

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, for any Highly Compensated Employee who is an active Participant in the Plan while eligible to participate in any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company (excluding any such plan which is not permitted to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)) under which the Employee has made employee contributions or elective deferrals, or is credited with employer matching contributions for the year, the Committee shall coordinate corrective actions under the Plan and such other plan for the year.

(e)In lieu of or in addition to the actions described in subsections (a) through (d) of this Section, to satisfy the tests in Section 5.02, the Employer may make Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions as described in Section 4.07.

5.04Annual Additions Limitations. In no event shall the Annual Addition on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year exceed the lesser of:

The limitation referred to in subsection (2) above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits within the meaning of Code section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under Code section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2).

If the amount otherwise allocable to the Account of a Participant would exceed the amount described above as a result of the reallocation of forfeitures (if any available), a reasonable error in estimating the Participant's Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Code section 402(g)) that may be made under the limitations of Code section 415, or such other circumstances as permitted by law, the Committee shall take the following steps to correct such violation:

(a)First, the Committee shall reduce the Annual Addition under the Plan by determining the portion, if any, of such excess amount that is attributable to the Participant's Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions, if any, until such excess amount has been exhausted. To the extent any portion of a Participant's Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions are determined to be excess under this Section, such Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions, with income thereon, shall be returned to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable; provided, however, that excess Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions under this Section may be recharacterized as made under Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted under Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. To the extent any portion of the Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions allocable to a Participant are determined to be excess under this Section, while the Participant remains an Eligible Employee, his excess Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions shall be held in a suspense account (which shall share in investment gains and losses of the Trust Fund) by the Trustee until the following Plan Year (or any succeeding Plan Years), at which time such amounts shall be allocated to the Participant's Account before any Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions are made on his behalf for the Plan Year. When the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, his excess Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions held in the suspense account shall be allocated in the following Plan Year (or any succeeding Plan Years) to the Accounts of other Participants in the Plan. Furthermore, the Committee shall perform any other actions as may be necessary to preserve the Plan's status as a qualified plan.

(b)Second, the Annual Addition shall be reduced under such other plans as may be maintained by the Employer in accordance with the provisions set forth therein.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any distribution of amounts otherwise allocable to the Account of a Participant as described above shall be made in accordance with the rules and procedures set forth in Rev. Proc. 2016-51 and any successor thereto.

6.01Investment of Assets. All existing assets of the Trust Fund and all future contributions shall be invested by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 6.02.

(a)General. Except as provided in subsection (b) and (c) hereof, the Investment Committee shall designate the available Investment Funds to which a Participant shall direct the investment of amounts credited to his Account. The Investment Committee, in its sole discretion, may from time to time designate additional Investment Funds of the same or different types or modify, cease to offer or eliminate any existing Investment Funds. A portion of the Trust Fund, as determined by the Investment Committee, may be held in the form of uninvested cash or in a liquid asset account for temporary periods pending reinvestment or distribution, or for other liquidity purposes.

(b)Company Common Stock Fund Status as Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Company Common Stock Fund constitutes an "employee stock ownership plan" for purposes of Code section 4975(e)(7). Consistent with the requirements of Code section 4975(e)(7) and applicable law, the Company Common Stock Fund shall invest primarily in the Company's Common Stock, without regard to considerations relating to (1) diversification of assets, (2) the risk of investments in Company Common Stock, (3) the amount of income provided by Company Common Stock, and (4) the fluctuation in the fair market value of Company Common Stock; provided, moreover, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Common Stock Fund is intended as a permanent investment option with respect to the Plan and the Investment Committee shall not have the authority to remove the Company Common Stock Fund from the Plan except in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities under Section 12.03 and section 404(a) of ERISA.

(c)Default Investment Funds. The Company designates the age appropriate Target Date Retirement Fund (the "Target Fund") as the Investment Fund that shall be the "default" investment fund for purposes of Participants (by reason of the automatic enrollment provisions of Section 4.01 or otherwise) who do not make an affirmative election in accordance with Section 6.03 to invest all or a portion of their Account among the Plan's available Investment Funds. The Target Fund is an Investment Fund that provides a mixture of fixed income and equity investments that are matched to an individual's age and assumed retirement age of 65. The Target Fund is the Investment Fund that the Company has designated as the Plan's "qualified default investment alternative" for purposes of section 404(c)(5) of ERISA.

6.03Investment Elections. Each Participant, upon commencing or recommencing active participation under Section 4.01, shall direct, in the form and at the time prescribed by the Committee, the investment of contributions made on his behalf in any one or more of the available Investment Funds in accordance with such uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures

and limitations as the Committee may prescribe. Without limiting a Participant's rights to reallocate his Company Retirement Contribution Account pursuant to Section 6.05, the Committee may prescribe the Investment Funds that are available for the investment of the Company Retirement Contributions at the time they are contributed to the Plan and allocated to the Company Retirement Contribution Accounts of the Company Retirement Contribution Eligible Participants.

6.04Change of Election. Each Participant may change his investment direction with respect to the investment of his future contributions at the time or times prescribed by the Committee, by making a new election in such form, at such time in advance, and in accordance with other uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures and subject to such restrictions as the Committee or its delegate may prescribe.

6.05Transfers Between Investment Funds. Subject to such limits as imposed by the Investment Committee, a Participant may reallocate his entire Account among and between the available Investment Funds (subject to such specific rules and limits applicable to the Company Common Stock Fund as described in Section 6.09) at any time. Each Participant may elect to make such transfers at the time or times prescribed by the Committee, by making a transfer election in such form, at such time in advance, and in accordance with other uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures and subject to such restrictions as the Committee or its delegate may prescribe or as may otherwise be imposed by the Investment Fund(s) involved in the transfer.

6.06Individual Accounts. There shall be maintained on the books of the Plan with respect to each Participant, an Account with such separate subaccounts as are necessary to account for the types and amounts of contributions made to and by the Participant under the Plan. Each such Account and subaccount shall separately reflect the Participant's interest in each Investment Fund relating to such Account and subaccount. Each Participant shall receive, at periodic intervals, a statement of his Account showing the balances in each Investment Fund. A Participant's interest in any Investment Fund shall be determined and accounted for based on his beneficial interest in any such fund, and no Participant shall have any interest in or rights to any specific asset of any Investment Fund.

6.07Valuation. As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall adjust the net credit balance of each Participant's Account, in the respective investment fund of the Trust Fund, upward or downward, pro rata, so that the aggregate of such unit credit balances will equal the net worth of each Investment Fund of the Trust Fund as of that Valuation Date, using fair market values as determined by the Trustee.

6.08Voting and Tender of Mutual Fund Shares. To the extent that shares of one or more of the regulated investment companies offered by the Investment Funds are allocated to Participants' Accounts, the Trustee shall vote or tender such shares solely in accordance with written instructions furnished to it by each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant); provided that the Trustee shall be responsible for delivery to each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) of all notices, proxies and proxy soliciting materials related to any such shares. Any such instructions shall remain in the strict confidence of the Trustee. Shares, including fractional shares, for which voting or tender instructions are not received shall not be voted or tendered.

(a)Investment in Company Common Stock Fund. A Participant shall be eligible to direct investment of a percentage, in an amount up to 15%, of Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions and/or Rollover Contributions into the Company Common Stock Fund. No Participant may direct the investment of any of his then-existing Account balances into the Company Common Stock Fund. To the extent that Matching Contributions are made on Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions that are directed for investment into the Company Common Stock Fund, such Matching Contributions shall automatically be directed for investment into the Company Common Stock Fund. A Participant's investment in the Company Common Stock Fund shall be credited to his Company Common Stock Account.

(b)Diversification of Company Common Stock. A Participant may elect to reallocate up to 100% of the Company Common Stock Fund held in his Company Common Stock Account to any one or more of the Investment Funds at any time.

(c)Sale, Purchase and Valuation of Company Common Stock. The Trustee shall either sell or buy Company Common Stock as provided in this Section 6.09 within a reasonable time following receipt of any such direction, considering all of the then-existing market conditions with respect to the Company Common Stock. Upon receiving direction to sell or buy Company Common Stock, such direction shall remain in effect until completed, and the Participant may not cancel such previous direction. If the Trustee determines that such quotations or trading prices do not accurately reflect the market value, the fair market value of the Company Common Stock as of the Valuation Date shall be determined by an independent appraiser meeting requirements similar to the requirements of the Department of Labor Regulations promulgated under section 3(18) of ERISA.

(d)Special Rule Regarding Appraisal of Company Common Stock. If at any time the Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund is not readily tradable on an established securities market, all valuations of such Company Common Stock with respect to activities carried on by the Plan shall be made by an independent appraiser meeting the requirements of Code section 401(a)(28).

(e)Dividends on Company Common Stock Fund. A Participant may make an election, in accordance with the uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures prescribed by the Committee that provide such opportunity no less frequently than annually, that all cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund and allocated to such Participant's Company Common Stock Account on the record date for the dividend shall be either reinvested in the Company Common Stock Fund or distributed to the Participant. A Participant who does not make an affirmative election to receive dividends in cash will be deemed to have chosen to have those dividends reinvested into the Company Common Stock Fund. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant shall have a fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in any cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund.

(f)Voting of Company Common Stock. All whole and fractional shares of Company Common Stock allocated to a Participant's or Beneficiary's Company Common Stock Account shall be voted by the Trustee as the Participant or Beneficiary directs in writing from time to time. The Trustee shall solicit the directions from each Participant or Beneficiary before each annual or special stockholders' meeting of the Company, from each Member. Upon timely receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote those shares in accordance with the directions received. Unless otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, shares for which timely receipt of directions is not received shall not be voted by the Trustee.

(g)Tender of Company Common Stock. The Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the manner in which to respond to any offer to purchase, exchange or otherwise dispose of Company Common Stock made by any person or entity other than a Participant or Beneficiary. If the Company Common Stock is sold, exchanged or disposed of, the proceeds shall be reinvested in the Company Common Stock Fund.

(h)Distribution of Company Common Stock. When a Participant is entitled to a distribution of his Account under the Plan, the Participant may elect to receive either cash or Company Common Stock that is allocated to his Company Common Stock Account. If cash is to be received from the Company Common Stock Account, then the Trustee will use reasonable efforts to sell such Company Common Stock and the proceeds from such sale (less all reasonable expenses incurred in such sale) will be distributed to the Participant. If the Participant elects to receive shares of Company Common Stock, then the shares of Company Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares (less all reasonable expenses incurred in such sale) will be distributed to the Participant.

(i)Put Option. In accordance with Code sections 409(h)(4), (5) and (6), if Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund is or becomes not readily tradable on an established market (within the meaning of Code section 409(h)(1)(B)), then any Participant who otherwise is entitled to a distribution of such Company Common Stock shall have the right (hereinafter referred to as the "Put Option") to require that his Company Common Stock be repurchased by the Company. The Put Option shall only be exercisable during the 60-day period immediately following the date of distribution, and if the Put Option is not exercised within such 60-day period, it can be exercised for an additional 60 days in the following Plan Year. The amount paid for the Company Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Put Option as part of a total distribution shall be paid in substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over a period beginning not later than 30 days after the request for total distribution is made and not exceeding five years, and there shall be adequate security provided, and reasonable interest paid, on any unpaid balance due. If the Company is required to repurchase Company Common Stock as part of an installment distribution, the amount to be paid for the Company Common Stock will be paid not later than 30 days after the exercise of the Put Option.

(j)Special Rules. The Company has established the Company Common Stock Fund to be, and currently intends the Company Common Stock Fund remain, an unleveraged employee stock ownership plan with respect to qualifying employer securities that are publically traded within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 54.4975-7(b)(iv). The Trustee is prohibited from allowing the Company Common Stock Fund to become a leveraged ESOP for purposes of Code section 4975(e)(7) and from entering into an Exempt Loan transaction on the Plan's behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, an "Exempt Loan" means a loan or loans made to the Plan by a Disqualified Person or a loan or loans to the Plan which is guaranteed by a Disqualified Person. The term "Exempt Loan" includes a direct loan of cash, a purchase-money transaction, and an assumption of the obligation of the Plan. For purposes of this Section, a "guarantee" includes an unsecured guarantee and the use of assets of a Disqualified Person as collateral for a loan, even though the use of assets may not be a guarantee under applicable state law. A "Disqualified Person" means any person described in Code section 4975(e)(2).

6.10Fiduciary Responsibility. This Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in section 404(c) of ERISA, and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 2550.404c-1. Neither the Company, an Employer, the Committee, the Investment Committee, the Trustee nor any other Plan fiduciary shall be liable for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions provided by any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee.

7.01Full and Immediate Vesting of Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions and Rollovers. A Participant, at all times, shall have a fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in the portion of his Account attributable to Salary Deferrals, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, and Rollover Contributions (including all earnings, dividends and gains attributable to such contributions).

(a)Matching Contributions and Company Retirement Contributions. A Participant's interest in the portion of his Account attributable to Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions or any other Employer contributions not otherwise referenced in Section 7.01 (including all earnings, dividends and gains attributable to such contributions) shall vest based on his Years of Service in accordance with the following schedule:

(b)Accelerated Vesting upon Death, Normal Retirement Age and Disability Retirement Date. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant's interest in the portion of his Account that is subject to the vesting schedule described in Section 7.02(a) hereof shall be fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable upon:

(1)the Participant's death while an Eligible Employee. In addition, in the event a Participant dies during a period of Qualified Military Service, such Participant shall be treated for purposes of this Section 7.02(b) as if he resumed employment and then died while an Eligible Employee.

(c)Accelerated Vesting of Participants Employed by Thunder Creek Gas Services, L.L.C. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who is an Employee of Thunder Creek Gas Services, L.L.C. on August 16, 2013 (or such later date as of the occurrence of the "Closing" of the sale of the Company's ownership interest in Thunder Creek Gas Services L.L.C., as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 12, 2013, by and between the Company and Meritage G&P, LLC (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement")) shall have a fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in the portion of his Account that is subject to the vesting schedule described in Section 7.02(a) if such Participant is a "Continuing Employee" as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(d)Accelerated Vesting of Participants Terminated as a Result of the Sale of Assets to Linn Energy. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who is an Employee on August 29, 2014 (or on such date as is the occurrence of the "Closing," as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 27, 2014, by and between the Company and Linn Energy Holdings, LLC ("Purchase and Sale Agreement")) of the sale of assets described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall have a fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in the portion of his Account that is subject to the vesting schedule described in Section 7.02(a) if such Participant is terminated as a result of the Closing.

(a)If a Participant had a vested interest in his Account at the time he incurred a Period of Severance and he is later reemployed by the Company or an Affiliated Company, his Years of Service before his Period of Severance shall be taken into account for purposes of determining his vested interest in his Account.

(b)If a Participant had no vested interest in his Account at the time he incurred a Period of Severance and he is later reemployed by the Company or an Affiliated Company, his Years of Service before his Period of Severance shall be taken into account for purposes of determining his vested interest in his Account only if he (1) completes a Year of Service as described in Section 2.72(a)(3), and (2) completes an Hour of Service at a time when his consecutive Periods of Severance do not equal or exceed five. Otherwise, such Participant's pre-severance Years of Service shall be cancelled.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) or (b) to the contrary, if a Participant or Employee has incurred five or more consecutive Periods of Severance, under no circumstances shall his Years of Service after he again completes an Hour of Service be counted in determining his vested interest in the portion of his Account attributable to periods before his Period of Severance.

(a)The Account of a Participant who has had a Severance from Service shall be closed, and the forfeitable amount held therein shall be forfeited on the earlier of:

(1)the date on which he receives a distribution of his entire vested interest in his Account (for these purposes, a Participant who incurs a Severance from Service without a vested interest in his Account shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his entire vested interest in his Account on the date of his Severance from Service); or

(b)Amounts forfeited from a Participant's Account under subsection (a) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (1) first, to reduce the reasonable expenses of the administration of the Plan that are not otherwise paid by the Employer or satisfied through other means; (2) next, to restore a reemployed Participant's Account as provided under this Section and to restore the Account of a Participant who could not be located as provided under Section 16.13, (3) next, to reduce future Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.05; (4) next, to reduce future Company Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.04; (5) next, to provide Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions under Section 4.07; and (6) last, to satisfy the top-heavy minimum allocation provisions under Section 10.03.

(c)If a Participant who has received a distribution described in subsection (a)(1) , whereby any part of his Account has been forfeited, again becomes an Eligible Employee prior to the fifth anniversary of his Severance Date, the amount so forfeited shall be restored (unadjusted by any subsequent gains and losses) to his Account; provided that the Participant repays to the Trustee the full amount of any such distribution prior to the fifth anniversary of the date such Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee. Amounts restored under this subsection (c) shall be funded through current forfeitures or additional contributions by the Participant's Employer.

(a)Amount and form of Death Benefit. Subject to Section 9.02(f), in the event of a Participant's death prior to his Benefit Payment Date, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a death benefit equal to the vested balance of his Account, determined as of the Valuation Date related to the Benefit Payment Date for the Participant's Beneficiary. The Beneficiary shall have the option to select any form of payment under Section 8.03.

(b)Time of Distribution. Death benefits shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon as practicable after the Participant's death; provided, however, that, in the event that the Participant dies after commencement of distributions but before all of his vested Account balance is distributed, the remaining portion of his vested Account balance shall continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant's death.

(c)Regulatory Requirements. Distributions under this Section shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9), including the incidental death benefit requirements, in accordance with the final Treasury Regulations under Code section 401(a)(9) that were published on April 17, 2002.

(a)Amount of Benefit. Subject to Section 9.02(f), the Plan benefit payable to a Participant upon such Participant's Severance from Service for reasons other than death, shall be equal to the vested balance of his Account, determined as of the Valuation Date related to the Benefit Payment Date for the Participant.

(1)General Rule. Distribution of benefits under this Section to the Participant shall be made as soon as practicable after the Participant's Severance from Service; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant whose vested Account balance exceeds $5,000, no distribution shall be made at such time without the written consent of the Participant. If the Participant does not so consent, then distribution will be deferred until any subsequent date elected by the Participant in writing or such other manner acceptable to the Committee pursuant to such uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures as the Committee may impose; provided, however, that benefit payments shall begin no later than the applicable date under Section 8.02(b)(3).

(2)Cash-Out of Amounts of $5,000 or Less. In the event a Participant's vested Account balance (excluding amounts attributable to rollovers and earnings allocable thereon, but including amounts in a Participant's Roth In-Plan Conversion Account) is $5,000 or less at the time of the Participant's Severance from Service, the Committee shall direct the payment of the Participant's vested Account balance in a lump sum cash payment to the

Participant as soon as practicable after the Participant's Severance from Service; provided, however, that for cash-outs pursuant to this subsection (2), if such Account balance is greater than $1,000 and the Participant does not consent to the distribution of such Account balance, then the Committee shall pay the distribution in a direct rollover described in Section 8.08 to an individual retirement plan of a designated trustee or insurer selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, for such purposes.

(A)Except as otherwise elected by the Participant or provided in this Section, the Benefit Payment Date for any Participant shall not be later than the 60th day following the close of the Plan Year in which the later of the following events occurs: (i) the Participant reaches age 65, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan or (iii) the Participant has a Severance from Service.

(B)Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant's Benefit Payment Date shall not be later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (I) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½; or (II) in the case of a Participant who is not a 5% owner (within the meaning of Code section 416(i)) with respect to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½, the calendar year in which the Participant's Severance from Service occurs.

(C)Distributions under this Section 8.02 shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and the final regulations published thereunder on April 17, 2002, including the incidental death benefit requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-5.

(c)Election Period. A Participant's election to commence payment must be made within the 180-day period ending on the Benefit Payment Date elected by the Participant and in no event earlier than the date the Committee provides the Participant with written information relating to his right to defer payment and his right to make a direct rollover as set forth in Section 8.08. Such information must be supplied not less than 30 days or more than 180 days prior to the Benefit Payment Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's Benefit Payment Date may occur less than 30 days after such information has been supplied to the Participant; provided that after the Participant has received such information and has been advised of his right to a 30-day period to make a decision regarding the distribution, the Participant affirmatively elects a distribution.

8.03Form and Timing of Benefit Payment. A Participant's Account shall be distributed to the Participant or his Beneficiaries in cash in the form of either (a) a single, lump sum or (b) substantially equal payments in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments for a period less than the life expectancy of the Participant or his Beneficiaries, as the case may be; provided, however, that portion of a withdrawal or distribution consisting of the Company Common Stock Fund shall be made in either cash or stock, as the Participant or his Beneficiaries may elect. Any fractional shares of Company Common Stock will be paid in cash.

8.04Withdrawals. A Participant may, in the manner prescribed by the Committee, request a withdrawal from his Account in accordance with the following rules:

(1)Upon written application submitted to the Committee, a Participant who has attained age 59½ may withdraw up to 100% of his vested Accounts. A Participant may direct the vested Accounts from which a withdrawal pursuant to this paragraph shall be made; provided, however, that a withdrawal from Accounts attributable to Employer contributions shall be taken from the Participant's vested Matching Contribution Account, Company Retirement Account and Roth In-Plan Conversion Account (to the extent attributable to amounts formerly in the Participant's Matching Contribution Account and Company Retirement Contribution Account, and any earnings on such amounts). The portion of a withdrawal consisting of the Company Common Stock Fund shall be made in either cash or stock, as the Participant may elect. Any fractional shares of Company Common Stock will be paid in cash.

(2)Upon written application submitted to the Committee, a Participant may withdraw up to 100% of his Rollover Account and/or Roth Rollover Account.

(3)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who converts his account(s) described under any Appendix to Roth 401(k) Contributions in accordance with Section 4.06(b)(1) may withdraw the portion of his Roth In-Plan Conversion Account attributable to any account described under the applicable Appendix, including any earnings on such account, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Appendix.

(b)Hardship Withdrawals. Each Participant who has exhausted all of his withdrawal rights under subsection (a) hereof, and any in-service withdrawal rights set forth in an Appendix hereto, shall have the right to make a withdrawal from his Salary Deferral Account, Roth 401(k) Account and Roth In-Plan Conversion Account (to the extent such amounts are attributable to a Roth in-plan conversion of amounts from his Salary Deferral Account). If the Committee determines that a requested withdrawal is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, and the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such financial need, the Committee shall permit the Participant to withdraw all or a portion of the amounts eligible for hardship withdrawal; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of a Participant's withdrawals from each of his Salary Deferral Account, Roth 401(k) Account and/or Roth In-Plan Conversion Account shall not exceed the Participant's undistributed Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions, respectively. For Participants with amounts eligible for hardship withdrawal in multiple accounts, withdrawals shall be taken from such accounts on a pro rata basis.

(1)A distribution shall be deemed to be on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant when the distribution is on account of:

(A)expenses incurred or necessary for medical care of the Participant, the Participant's Spouse, or any dependents of the Participant that would be deductible under Code section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

(B)the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;

(C)the payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and board for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his Spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code section 152 without regard to Code sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B));

(D)expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant's principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income);

(E)the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from, or foreclosure on the mortgage of, the Participant's principal residence;

(F)payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant's deceased parent, Spouse, child or dependent (as defined in Code section 152 and without regard to Code section 152(d)(1)(B));

(G)federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution; or

(H)such other circumstances as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate.

(2)A withdrawal shall be necessary to satisfy the financial need of a Participant if:

(A)a Participant making such application represents in writing to the Committee that he has an immediate and heavy financial need, that the amount requested to be withdrawn is necessary to relieve such need, and that such need cannot be relieved:

(C)by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets, including those assets of his Spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to him, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;

(E)by other currently available distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from the Plan or any other plan maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms, in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.

(3)If the Participant does not represent in writing to the Committee that he has an immediate and heavy financial need, a withdrawal shall be deemed necessary to satisfy the financial need of a Participant if:

(A)the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed the amount of the Participant's immediate and heavy financial need, including, at the election of the Participant, any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution;

(B)the Participant has obtained all currently available distributions (including, if currently available pursuant to Section 6.09(e), by electing to receive dividend distributions in cash, but other than hardship distributions) and nontaxable loans under the Plan, if applicable, and all other qualified retirement plans maintained by the Employer and all Affiliated Companies, unless the Participant certifies that the amount that may be obtained through all currently permissible distributions and nontaxable loans under the Plan shall not be sufficient to satisfy the financial need; and

(4)If the Participant withdraws any amount eligible for hardship withdrawal pursuant to Section 8.04(b), or withdraws any elective deferrals under any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company which other plan conditions such withdrawal upon the Participant's being subject to rules similar to those stated in this paragraph (4), such Participant may not make Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions under the Plan or employee contributions (other than mandatory contributions under a defined benefit plan) or, to the extent required by applicable law, elective deferrals under any other plan of deferred compensation maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company for a period of six months commencing on the date of his receipt of the withdrawal.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, no Participant shall be permitted to withdraw any portion of his Account pledged as security for a loan pursuant to ARTICLE IX.

(a)Spouse as Beneficiary. The Beneficiary of a death benefit payable pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be the Participant's Spouse as of the Participant's date of death; provided, however, that the Participant may designate a Beneficiary other than his Spouse pursuant to subsection (b) if:

(3)the Committee determines that the Spouse cannot be located or such other circumstances exist under which Spousal consent is not required, as prescribed by Treasury Regulations.

(b)Beneficiary Designation Right. Each Participant who is permitted to designate a Beneficiary other than his Spouse pursuant to subsection (a) shall have the right to designate one or more primary and one or more contingent Beneficiaries to receive any benefit becoming payable upon the Participant's death. All Beneficiary designations shall be in writing in a form satisfactory to the Committee. Each Participant shall be entitled to change his Beneficiaries at any time and from time to time by filing a written notice of such change with the Committee. However, the Participant's Spouse must again consent in writing to such change, unless (1) the change is a revocation of the prior consent or (2) one of the exceptions described in subsection (a)(2)or (a)(3) applies.

In the event that the Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary to receive a benefit that becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.01, or in the event that the Participant is predeceased by all designated primary and contingent Beneficiaries, the death benefit shall be payable to the Participant's estate.

After a Participant's death, any Beneficiary of the deceased Participant may designate one or more secondary beneficiaries to receive the Beneficiary's interest in the Plan attributable to the Participant's benefits after the Beneficiary's death, to the extent such designation is not inconsistent with the Participant's beneficiary designation. If the Beneficiary fails to designate a beneficiary or if none of his designated beneficiaries survive him, the death benefit shall be payable to the Beneficiary's estate.

(c)Form and Content of Spouse's Consent. A Spouse may consent to the designation of one or more Beneficiaries other than such Spouse; provided that such consent shall be in writing, must consent to the specific alternate beneficiary or beneficiaries designated, must acknowledge the effect of such consent, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. Such Spouse's consent shall be irrevocable, unless expressly made revocable. The consent of a Spouse in accordance with this subsection (c) shall not be effective with respect to any subsequent Spouse of the Participant.

(a)General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, an Alternate Payee shall have no rights to a Participant's benefit and shall have no rights under this Plan other than those rights specifically granted to the Alternate Payee pursuant to a QDRO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Alternate Payee shall have the right to make a claim for any benefits awarded to the Alternate Payee pursuant to a QDRO, as provided in ARTICLE XIII. Any interest of an Alternate Payee in the Account of a Participant, other than an interest payable solely upon the Participant's death pursuant to a QDRO which provides that the Alternate Payee shall be treated as the Participant's surviving spouse, shall be separately accounted for by the Trustee in the name and for the benefit of the Alternate Payee.

(1)Distribution. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a QDRO may provide that any benefits of a Participant payable to an Alternate Payee that are separately accounted for shall be distributed immediately or at any other time specified in the order. If the order does not specify the time at which benefits shall be payable to the Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee may elect to have benefits commence at any time after the order is determined to be qualified.

(b)Withdrawals. Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall not be permitted to make any withdrawals under this ARTICLE VIII.

(c)Death Benefits. Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary, in the same manner as provided in Section 8.05 with respect to a Participant (except that no Spousal consent shall be required), who shall receive benefits payable to an Alternate Payee which have not been distributed at the time of an Alternate Payee's death. Upon an Alternate Payee's death, a separate account shall be established for any such Beneficiary. If the Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established does not designate a Beneficiary, or if the Beneficiary predeceases the Alternate Payee, benefits payable to the Alternate Payee that have not been distributed shall be paid to the Alternate Payee's estate.

(d)Investment Direction. Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall have the right to direct the investment of any portion of a Participant's Accounts payable to the Alternate Payee under such order in the same manner as provided in ARTICLE VI with respect to a Participant, which amounts shall be separately accounted for by the Trustee in the Alternate Payee's name.

(e)Loans. An Alternate Payee shall not be permitted to receive a loan under ARTICLE IX.

8.07Post Distribution Credits. In the event that, after the payment of a single-sum distribution under this Plan (other than an in-service benefit distribution described in Section 8.04), any funds shall be subsequently credited to the Participant's Account, such additional funds shall be paid to the Participant or applied to the Participant's Account as promptly as practicable thereafter.

8.08Direct Rollovers. In the event any payment or payments to be made under the Plan to a Participant, a Beneficiary, or an Alternate Payee would constitute an "eligible rollover distribution," such individual may request that such payment or payments be transferred directly from the Trust to the trustee of an "eligible rollover plan." Any such request shall be made in the form prescribed by the Committee for such purpose, at such time in advance as the Committee may specify.

(a)"eligible rollover distribution" shall mean a distribution from the Plan, excluding (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over the life (or life expectancy) of the individual, the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the individual and the individual's designated Beneficiary, or a specified period of 10 or more years; (2) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9); and (3) any hardship distribution; and

(b)"eligible rollover plan" shall mean (1) an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), (2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), (3) an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a), (4) a qualified plan, the terms of which permit the acceptance of rollover distributions, (5) an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code section 457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code section 457(e)(i)(A) that shall separately account for the distribution, or (6) an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); provided, however, that, effective January 1, 2007, with respect to a distribution (or portion of a distribution) consisting of after-tax employee contributions, the term "eligible rollover plan" shall mean a plan described in clauses (4) and (6) that separately accounts for such amounts transferred and earnings on such amounts or a plan described in clause (1) or (2). Effective January 1, 2008, an "eligible rollover plan" shall also mean an individual retirement account described in Code section 408A; provided that the distribution to the individual retirement account described in Code section 408A constitutes a "qualified rollover contribution" under Code section 408A(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payments or distributions from a Participant's Roth 401(k) Account, Roth Rollover Account or Roth In-Plan Conversion Account, an eligible rollover plan with respect to such portion shall include only another designated Roth 401(k) account described in Code section 402A or a Roth individual retirement account described in Code section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). Effective January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution to a nonspouse Beneficiary who is a designated Beneficiary within the meaning of Code section 401(a)(9)(E), an "eligible rollover plan" is an individual retirement account established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary that will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account pursuant to the provisions of Code section 402(c)(11).

8.09Waiver of 2009 Required Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for enactment of Code section 401(a)(9)(H) ("2009 RMDs"), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2009 RMDs, or (ii) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions 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, will not receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to receive the distributions described in the preceding sentence. A direct rollover will be offered only for distributions that would be eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 8.08) without regard to Code section 401(a)(9)(H).

(a)Permissibility. Each Participant or Beneficiary who satisfies such uniform and nondiscriminatory conditions as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee may apply for a loan from the Plan.

(b)Application. Subject to such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee, the Trustee, upon application by such Eligible Borrower in such manner as may be approved by the Committee, may make a loan or loans to such applicant.

(1)Loans shall be at least $1,000 in amount, and in no event shall total loans exceed the lesser of (A) 50% of the vested balance of such Eligible Borrower's Accounts (other than such Eligible Borrower's Company Retirement Contributions Account, which shall not be included in determining the loan limit), or (B) $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of (i) the highest outstanding balance of all loans during the 12 months prior to the time the new loan is to be made, over (ii) the outstanding balance of loans made to the Eligible Borrower prior to the date such new loan is made. Loans under any other qualified plan sponsored by the Employer or any Affiliated Company shall be aggregated with loans under the Plan in determining whether or not the limitation stated herein has been exceeded.

(2)Pending the final determination by the Plan Administrator of whether a domestic relations order is a QDRO, no loan to any Eligible Borrower may exceed an amount greater than the maximum permissible loan amount that would be available assuming that the benefit described in the domestic relations order had already been distributed to the alternate payee under a QDRO; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, adopt a policy that universally prohibits loans to an otherwise Eligible Borrower pending the final determination of whether a domestic relations order is a QDRO.

(d)Equality of Borrowing Opportunity. Loans shall be available to all Eligible Borrowers who are parties in interest on a reasonably equivalent and nondiscriminatory basis. Loans shall not be made available to Eligible Borrowers who are or were Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount available to other Eligible Borrowers.

(e)Loan Statement. Every Eligible Borrower receiving a loan hereunder will receive a statement from the Committee clearly reflecting the charges involved in each transaction, including the dollar amount and annual interest rate of the finance charges. The statement will provide all information required to meet applicable "truth-in-lending" laws.

(f)Restriction on Loans. The Committee will not approve any loan if it is the belief of the Committee that such loan, if made, would constitute a prohibited transaction (within the meaning of section 406 of ERISA or Code section 4975(c)), would constitute a distribution taxable for federal income tax purposes, or would imperil the status of the Plan or any part thereof under Code section 401(k). An Eligible Borrower may have no more than two loans outstanding at any time, which may include no more than one loan that is for the purchase of a primary residence.

9.02Loans as Trust Fund Investments. All loans shall be considered as fixed income investments of a segregated account of the Trust Fund (a "loan fund") directed by the borrower. Accordingly, the following conditions shall apply with respect to each such loan:

(a)Security. All loans shall be secured by the pledge of such portion of the Eligible Borrower's Account as is sufficient to secure repayment of the loan.

(b)Interest Rate. The interest rate on any loan shall be commensurate with the prevailing interest rate charged on similar commercial loans under like circumstances by persons in the business of lending money and shall be determined by the Committee.

(c)Loan Term. Loans shall be for terms of up to five years or, with respect to a loan used to acquire a dwelling unit which will be used as the principal residence of the Eligible Borrower, 15 years; provided, however, that if the Eligible Borrower is absent from work for the performance of military service in any branch of the uniformed services (as defined in chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code), any payments may be suspended during such period of military service and, if suspended, shall resume following the completion of the period of such military service. Any such resumed payments shall be made, following the period of such military service, at least as frequently as, and in an amount not less than, the original loan payments. In the event of such military service, the term of the loan may be extended by a period not to exceed the original term of the loan plus the period of such military service. With respect to loans that are outstanding when an Eligible Borrower begins a period of such military service, the interest rate on any such loans shall be limited to 6% to the extent required to comply with section 207 of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (or any successor statute thereto); provided that the Committee may require that the Eligible Borrower has provided the Committee with written notice and a copy of the military orders calling the Eligible Employee to military service and any orders further extending military service no later than 180 days after the date of the Eligible Employee's termination or release from military service. Any loan fees charged to the Accounts of the Eligible Borrower during the period of military service shall be included as interest for purposes of calculating the maximum 6% interest rate.

(d)Promissory Note. Any loan made to an Eligible Borrower under this Article shall be evidenced by the promissory note returned to the Eligible Borrower after the loan has been processed. Such promissory note shall contain the irrevocable consent of the Eligible Borrower to the payroll withholding described in subsection (f), if applicable. The Committee shall have the right to require the Eligible Borrower to submit revised materials to the extent the Committee determines it is necessary to comply with ERISA or the Code.

(e)Refinancing of Loans. An Eligible Borrower may not refinance an existing loan.

(1)an Eligible Borrower (other than an Eligible Borrower who continues to be a party in interest) has a Severance from Service and fails to make adequate arrangements, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to continue to make installment payments and does not repay the full unpaid balance of the loan plus applicable interest within such time as may be designated by the Committee; or

(2)in the case of a deceased Eligible Borrower, the Beneficiary fails to repay the full unpaid balance of the loan plus applicable interest within such time as may be designated by the Committee; or

(3)the Eligible Borrower fails to pay any installment by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the installment payment became delinquent as provided in Section 9.02(g)(2); or

(4)the Eligible Borrower (A) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (B) files a petition for bankruptcy, (C) is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or (D) becomes the subject of any wage earner plan under the federal Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect, or under any applicable state insolvency law; or

(5)there is started against the Eligible Borrower any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding which has not been dismissed by the 60th day after the date on which the proceeding was started, or the Eligible Borrower consents to or approves of any such proceeding or the appointment of any receiver for the Eligible Borrower or any substantial part of the Eligible Borrower's property, or the appointment of any such receiver is not discharged within 60 days; the unpaid balance of the loan, with interest due thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. In the event that a loan becomes immediately due and payable (in "default"), the Eligible Borrower (or his Beneficiary in the event of his death) may satisfy the loan by paying the outstanding balance in full within 60 days of receiving written notice from the Committee of such default; provided, however, that any such satisfaction of a loan in default must be made no later than the last day of the grace period, if any, designated by the Committee (which grace period shall not extend beyond the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the required installment was due). Otherwise, any such outstanding loan or loans (plus unpaid interest) shall be deducted from any benefit which is or becomes payable to the Eligible Borrower or his Beneficiary from the amount and the portions of his Account pledged as security for the loan as soon as is practicable after such default; provided, however, that if the Eligible Borrower has not died or incurred a Severance from Service, the Eligible Borrower's Salary Deferral Account, Roth 401(k) Contributions Account, and portion of the Participant's Roth In-Plan Conversion Account attributable to Salary Deferral Contributions shall only be used to reduce the Eligible Borrower's indebtedness at such time as the Eligible Borrower is entitled to a distribution under Section 8.02 or a withdrawal under Section 8.04 from his Salary Deferral Account and Roth 401(k) Contributions Account and the applicable portion of his Roth In-Plan Conversion Account. Such action shall not operate as a waiver of the rights of the Employer, the Committee, the Trustee or the Plan under applicable law.

(1)Loans shall be amortized and repaid in equal installments (not less frequently than quarterly) through payroll withholding; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize an Eligible Borrower who has incurred a Severance from Service or a Disability or transferred to an Affiliated Company, or who is otherwise not actively employed by an Employer, to repay his loan by making direct installment payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Eligible Borrower's unpaid leave of absence, the Committee may suspend the Eligible Borrower's installment payment for up to 12 months; provided, however, (i) the loan must still be repaid by the end of the term of the loan, which may be extended by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as provided herein, and (ii) the remaining balance of the loan must be reamortized upon the Eligible Borrower's recommencing active employment. In the event that repayment of a loan is suspended as provided in this subsection (g), the term of such loan may be extended provided that such extension shall in no event be longer than the maximum period allowable for such loan at the time it was made as provided in subsection (c) above.

(2)An installment payment shall be delinquent if the Eligible Borrower fails to pay the installment payment within 30 days of the date the installment payment is due.

(3)Loans may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without penalty, in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee for such purposes.

(4)No distribution of an Eligible Borrower's Accounts shall be made to the Eligible Borrower or the Eligible Borrower's Beneficiary or estate until all loans, together with accrued interest, have been paid in full.

(h)Loan Fees. Fees properly chargeable in connection with a loan may be charged, in accordance with a uniform and nondiscriminatory policy established by the Committee, against the Account of the Eligible Borrower to whom the loan is granted.

(1)At such time as it is determined that an Eligible Borrower is to receive a loan from the Plan, the loan shall be made from the Eligible Borrower's applicable Account as indicated hereafter and such amount shall be deemed to be credited to a separate Account established for such purposes (the "Loan Account"), with a corresponding debit to occur to his Account as of the first day of the month in which such loan occurs. Effective January 1, 2012, the loan may be made from any of the Eligible Borrower's Accounts, other than an account holding Company Retirement Contributions, if any, in accordance with the uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures adopted by the Committee for such purposes. All loans shall be funded from the Investment Funds in which the Eligible Borrower's Account that is being debited is invested on a pro rata basis.

(2)All interest payments to be made pursuant to the terms and provisions of the loan shall be credited to the applicable Account in such a manner so that the Loan Account will reflect unpaid principal and interest from time to time. The earnings attributable to the Loan Account shall be allocable only to the Loan Account of such Eligible Borrower and shall not be considered as general earnings of the Trust Fund to be allocated to other Eligible Borrowers. Other than for the limited purposes of establishing a separate account for the allocation of the interest thereto, an Eligible Borrower's Loan Account shall, for all other purposes, be considered as a part of the applicable Account.

(3)Loan repayments to the Plan by the Eligible Borrower shall be invested in the Investment Funds on the basis of the Eligible Borrower's current investment election under Section 6.03, or the Eligible Borrower's most recent investment election, if no investment election is currently in effect, unless the Eligible Borrower elects otherwise in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee.

10.01Definitions. For purposes of this Article, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a)"Aggregation Group" shall mean the group of qualified plans sponsored by the Employer or by an Affiliated Company formed by including in such group (1) all such plans in which a Key Employee participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date, including any frozen or terminated plan that was maintained within the five-year period ending on the Determination Date; (2) all such plans which enable any plan described in clause (1) to meet the requirements of either Code section 401(a)(4) or 410; and (3) such other qualified plans sponsored by the Employer or an Affiliated Company as the Employer elects to include in such group, as long as the group, including those plans electively included, continues to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

(3)A person who is both an Employee whose annual Compensation exceeds $150,000 and a 1% owner of the Employer.

The beneficiary of any deceased Participant who was a Key Employee shall be considered a Key Employee for the same period as the deceased Participant would have been so considered.

(d)"Key Employee Ratio" shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage) for any Plan Year, calculated as of the Determination Date with respect to such Plan Year, determined by dividing the amount described in paragraph (1) hereof by the amount described in paragraph (2) hereof, after deduction from both such amounts of the amount described in paragraph (3) hereof.

(e)"Non-Key Employee" shall mean any Employee or former Employee who is not a Key Employee as to that Plan Year, or a beneficiary of a deceased Participant who was a Non-Key Employee.

10.02Determination of Top-Heavy Status. The Plan shall be deemed "top-heavy" as to any Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date with respect to such Plan Year, either of the following conditions are met:

(a)The Plan is not part of an Aggregation Group and the Key Employee Ratio, determined by substituting the "Plan" for the "Aggregation Group" each place it appears in Section 10.01(d), exceeds 60%, or

(b)The Plan is part of an Aggregation Group, and the Key Employee Ratio of such Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.

10.03Top-Heavy Plan Minimum Allocation. The aggregate allocation made under the Plan to the Account of each active Participant who is a Non-Key Employee for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan and who remained in the employ of the Employer or an Affiliated Company through the end of such Plan Year (whether or not in the status of Eligible Employee) shall be not less than the lesser of:

(b)The percentage of such Compensation so allocated under the Plan to the Account of the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest for such Plan Year.

Subsection (b) shall not apply in any Plan Year in which the Plan is part of an Aggregation Group containing a defined benefit pension plan (or a combination of such defined benefit pension plans) if the Plan enables a defined benefit pension plan required to be included in such Aggregation Group to satisfy the requirements of either Code section 401(a)(4) or 410. In determining the amount of Employer contributions that are needed to satisfy the requirements of this Section, amounts contributed under Section 4.01 for Non-Key Employees shall not be taken into account.

11.01Delegation. A fiduciary shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations as are specifically given to him or her under this Plan or under the Trust Agreement or delegated to him or her by another fiduciary. In general, the Employer, by action of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, shall have the sole responsibility for making contributions provided for under Sections 4.01(d), 4.04, 4.05 and 4.07; and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall have the sole authority to appoint and remove the Trustee, the members of the Committee and the Investment Committee, and the Company, by action of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, shall have the sole authority to curtail or terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan or the Trust Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to shared authority, to amend the Plan.

11.02Authority and Responsibilities of the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority and responsibilities imposed by ARTICLE XII hereof, except to the extent delegated to other persons or otherwise provided for herein. With respect to the said authority and responsibility, the Committee shall be a "Named Fiduciary," and, as such, shall have no authority and responsibility other than as granted in the Plan, or as imposed by law.

11.03Authority and Responsibilities of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be the "Named Fiduciary" with respect to those powers and duties set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate accounts of all of the assets of, and the transactions involving, the Trust Fund. All such accounts shall be open to inspection by the Committee during normal business hours.

11.04Authority and Responsibilities of the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee shall have the authority and responsibilities imposed by ARTICLE XII hereof, except to the extent delegated to other persons or otherwise provided for herein. With respect to said authority and responsibility, the Investment Committee shall be a "Named Fiduciary" and, as such, shall have no authority and responsibility other than as granted in the Plan or as imposed by law.

11.06Limitations on Obligations of Named Fiduciaries. No Named Fiduciary shall have authority or responsibility to deal with matters other than as delegated to it under the Plan, under the Trust Agreement, or by operation of law. Except as provided by section 405 of ERISA, a Named Fiduciary shall not in any event be liable for breach of fiduciary responsibility or obligation by another fiduciary (including other Named Fiduciaries) if the responsibility or authority of the act or omission deemed to be a breach was not within the scope of the said Named Fiduciary's authority or delegated responsibility. The determination of any Named Fiduciary as to any matter involving its responsibilities hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

11.07Designation and Delegation. Each Named Fiduciary may designate other persons to carry out such of its responsibilities hereunder for the operation and administration of the Plan as it deems advisable and delegate to the persons so designated such of its powers as it deems necessary to carry out such responsibilities. Such designation and delegation shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Named Fiduciary deems necessary or proper. Any action or determination made or taken in carrying out responsibilities hereunder by the persons so designated by the Named Fiduciary shall have the same force and effect for all purposes as if such action or determination had been made or taken by such Named Fiduciary.

11.08Engagement of Assistants and Advisers. Any Named Fiduciary shall have the right to hire, at the expense of the Trust Fund, such professional assistants, counsel and consultants as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.

The Employer shall have the option, but not the obligation, to pay any such expenses, in whole or in part, and by so doing, to relieve the Trust Fund from the obligation of bearing such expenses. Payment of any such expenses by any Employer on any occasion shall not bind the Employer to thereafter pay any similar expenses.

11.10Indemnification. Each person who is a Named Fiduciary or a member of any committee or board comprising a Named Fiduciary (other than the Trustee), and each employee of the Employer who is a delegee of a Named Fiduciary, may be indemnified by the Employer against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlement to which the Employer does not consent) reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action to which he may be a party by reason of his service as a Named Fiduciary to the extent permitted under applicable law. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the person may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, but shall not extend to costs, expenses and/or liabilities otherwise covered by insurance or that would be so covered by any insurance then in force if such insurance contained a waiver of subrogation. Rights granted hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnification to which the person may be entitled pursuant to the bylaws of the Company. Service as a Named Fiduciary shall be deemed in partial fulfillment of the person's function as an employee, officer and/or director of the Company, if he serves in that capacity as well as in the role of Named Fiduciary.

11.11Bonding. The Committee shall arrange for such bonding as is required by law for persons who are Employees and/or members of the Board of Directors, but no bonding in excess of the amount required by law shall be considered required by the Plan.

(g)to determine the amount, manner and timing of any distribution of benefits or any withdrawal under the Plan and ensure the proper application of any Federal, state, or local tax withholding or other governmental charge;

The Committee may allocate among its members or Employees any of its duties and responsibilities not already allocated under the Plan or may designate persons other than members or Employees to carry out any of the Plan Administrator's duties and responsibilities under the Plan.

Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee believing himself eligible for benefits under the Plan shall apply for such benefits by applying to the Committee (or a person named by the Committee to receive claims under the Plan) in the form and manner specified by the Committee. Before the date on which benefit payments commence, each such application must be supported by such information and data as the Committee deems relevant and appropriate. Evidence of age, marital status (and, in the appropriate instances, death), and location of residence shall be required of all applicants for benefits. In the event a Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee fails to apply to the Committee prior to the applicable required distribution date described in Sections 8.01(c) or 8.02(b)(3), the Committee shall make diligent efforts to locate such Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee and obtain such application. In the event the Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee fails to make application by the applicable date described in Section 8.01(c) or 8.02(b)(3), the Committee shall commence distribution as of such date without such application. However, if the Committee fails to locate the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee so that distribution as of the applicable date described in Section 8.01(c) or 8.02(b)(3) is not possible, the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall be considered a lost payee as described in Section 16.13; provided, however, that, in the event that the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee is located, payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee is located.

(a)Establishment of Claims Procedures. The Committee shall establish claims and appeals procedures in accordance with this Section 13.02 and applicable law and shall afford a reasonable opportunity to any Participant whose claim for benefits has been denied for a full and fair review of the decision denying such claim.

(b)Appeals of Denied Claims for Benefits. In the event that any claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee whose claim has been so denied shall be notified of such denial in writing or electronically by the Committee (or a person named by the Committee to receive claims under the Plan). For purposes of this Section, the person or persons designated to determine initial claims shall be referred to as the "Claims Fiduciary" and the person or persons designated to determine appeals shall be referred to as the "Named Appeals Fiduciary," and any references to the Claims Fiduciary or Named Appeals Fiduciary in this Section 13.02 shall mean the Committee (and references to the Committee shall also mean the Claims Fiduciary or Named Appeals Fiduciary) as the context so provides. The Claims Fiduciary will review such request and respond within a reasonable time after receiving the claim. The notice advising of the denial shall be furnished to the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee within 90 days of receipt of the benefit claim by the Committee, unless special circumstances require an extension of time to process the claim. If an extension is required, the Claims Fiduciary shall provide notice of the extension prior to the termination of the applicable period. In no event may the extension exceed a total of 180 days from the date of the original receipt of the claim. The notice advising of the denial shall specify

the reason or reasons for denial, make specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed), and shall advise the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee, as the case may be, of the procedure for the appeal of such denial and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. All appeals shall be made by the following procedure:

(1)The Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee whose claim has been denied shall file with the Claims Fiduciary a notice of desire to appeal the denial. Such notice shall be filed within 60 days of notification by Claims Fiduciary, as the case may be, of claim denial, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. In connection with any such appeal, the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

(2)The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the claimant's written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial determination.

(3)The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall ordinarily render a determination upon the appealed claim within 60 days after its receipt which determination shall be accompanied by a written or electronic statement setting forth (i) the reasons therefor; (ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decisions is based; (iii) a description of the claimant's right to, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits; (iv) a description of any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan; and (v) a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. However, in special circumstances the Named Appeals Fiduciary may extend the response period for up to an additional 60 days, in which event it shall notify the claimant in writing prior to commencement of the extension. Any determination rendered by the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be final and binding upon all parties.

(4)If the Claimant challenges the decision of the Named Appeals Fiduciary, a review by a court shall be permitted only in accordance with subsection (d) below. Failure to comply with the time limits set forth above will bar the claimant from filing suit in court. Any review by a court shall be limited to the facts, evidence and issues presented during the claims procedure set forth above. Facts and evidence that become known to the claimant after having exhausted the review process may be submitted for reconsideration of the review in accordance with the time limits established above. Issues not raised during the review process shall be deemed waived.

(c)Authority to Determine Claims. The Committee has exclusive authority to decide all claims under the Plan. The Committee has exclusive authority to review and resolve

any appeal of a denied claim. The Committee is a Plan fiduciary with full discretionary authority to do the following: to make findings of fact; to interpret the Plan and resolve ambiguities therein; to determine whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter which is raised by a claimant or identified by the Committee. In the case of an appeal, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all parties.

(d)Exhaustion of Claims Procedures. A claim or action (1) to recover benefits allegedly due under the Plan or by reason of any law; (2) to enforce rights under the Plan; (3) to clarify rights to future benefits under the Plan; or (4) that relates to the Plan and seeks a remedy, ruling or judgment of any kind against the Plan or a Plan fiduciary or party in interest (collectively, a "Judicial Claim"), may not be commenced in any court or forum until after the claimant has exhausted the Plan's claims and appeals procedures (an "Administrative Claim"). A claimant must raise all arguments and produce all evidence the claimant believes supports the claim or action in the Administrative Claim and shall be deemed to have waived every argument and the right to produce any evidence not submitted to the Claims and Appeal Fiduciaries as part of the Administrative Claim. Any Judicial Claim must be commenced in the appropriate court or forum no later than 24 months from the earliest of (A) the date the first benefit payment was made or allegedly due; (B) the date the Plan Administrator or its delegate first denied the claimant's request; or (C) the first date the claimant knew or should have known the principal facts on which such claim or action is based; provided, however, that, if the claimant commences an Administrative Claim before the expiration of such 24-month period, the period for commencing a Judicial Claim shall expire on the later of the end of the 24-month period and the date that is three months after the final denial of the claimant's Administrative Claim, such that the claimant has exhausted the Plan's claims and appeals procedures. Any claim or action that is commenced, filed or raised, whether a Judicial Claim or an Administrative Claim, after expiration of such 24-month limitations period (or, if applicable, expiration of the three-month limitations period following exhaustion of the Plan's claims and appeals procedures) shall be time-barred. Filing or commencing a Judicial Claim before the claimant exhausts the Administrative Claim requirements shall not toll the 24-month limitations period (or, if applicable, the three-month limitations period).

(e)Venue. The courts of competent jurisdiction in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma shall have exclusive jurisdiction for all claims, actions and other proceedings involving or relating to the Plan, a Plan fiduciary or a party in interest, including, by way of example and not limitation, claim or action (1) to recover benefits allegedly due under the Plan or by reason of any law; (2) to enforce rights under the Plan; (3) to clarify rights to future benefits under the Plan; or (4) that relates to the Plan and seeks a remedy, ruling or judgment of any kind against the Plan or a plan fiduciary or a party in interest.

(f)Reliance on Records. The records of the Employer and any Affiliated Company with respect to length of employment, employment history, compensation, absences from employment and all other relevant matters may be conclusively relied on by the Committee for purposes of determining an individual's eligibility or entitlement to Plan benefits, the amount of Plan benefits payable to an individual, the appropriate timing of payment of Plan benefits to an individual, and so forth. If an individual claiming benefits under the Plan believes those records are incorrect, the individual may provide documentation supporting his or her position to the Committee for review and consideration. However, the decision of the Committee with respect to any records dispute shall be final and binding on all parties.

14.01Amendment. The provisions of the Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that:

(a)No amendment shall increase the duties or liabilities of the Committee or of the Trustee without the consent of that party;

(b)No amendment shall deprive any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of any of the benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan with respect to contributions previously made, nor shall any amendment decrease the vested percentage of any Participant's Account nor result in the elimination or reduction of a benefit "protected" under Code section 411(d)(6), unless otherwise permitted or required by law;

(c)No amendment shall provide for the use of funds or assets held to provide benefits under the Plan other than for the benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries or Alternate Payees or to meet the administrative expenses of the Plan, except as may be specifically authorized by statute or regulation.

Each amendment shall be approved by or pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors (or its duly authorized delegate); provided, however, that the Committee (or its duly authorized delegate) may make (1) any technical, administrative or compliance amendment to the Plan and (2) any amendment to the Plan that will not result in a material increase in cost of the Plan to the Company, as the Committee (or its duly authorized delegate) shall deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, including any amendment and restatement of the Plan to include such amendments.

(a)If the vesting schedule under this Plan is amended, each active Participant who has completed at least three Years of Service prior to the end of the election period specified in this Section may elect, during such election period, to have the vested percentage of his Account determined without regard to such amendment.

(b)For the purposes of this Section, the election period shall begin as of the date on which the amendment changing the vesting schedule is adopted, and shall end on the latest of the following dates:

(2)the date which is 60 days after the day on which the Plan amendment becomes effective; or

(3)the date which is 60 days after the day the Participant is issued written notice of the Plan amendment by the Committee or by the Employer; or

The election provided for in this Section shall be made in writing and shall be irrevocable when made.

(a)It is the intention of the Company that the Plan will be permanent. However, each entity constituting the Employer reserves the right to terminate its participation in this Plan by action of its board of directors or other governing body. Furthermore, the Company reserves the power to terminate the Plan at any time for any reason by action of the Board of Directors.

(b)Any termination of the Plan shall become effective as of the date designated by the Board of Directors. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in the Plan, prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to the benefits provided under the Plan, no termination shall cause any part of the funds or assets held to provide benefits under the Plan to be used other than for the benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries or Alternate Payees or to meet the administrative expenses of the Plan. Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, or upon complete discontinuance of contributions, the rights of all affected persons to benefits accrued to the date of such termination shall be nonforfeitable. Upon termination of the Plan, Accounts shall be distributed in accordance with applicable law.

14.04Mergers and Consolidations of Plans. Pursuant to action by the Board of Directors, the Plan may be merged or consolidated with, or a portion of its assets and liabilities may be transferred to, another qualified plan. In the event of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other plan, each Participant shall have a benefit in the surviving or transferee plan if such plan were then terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have had immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer in the plan in which he was then a participant had such plan been terminated at that time and no such merger, consolidation or transfer shall result in the elimination or reduction of a benefit "protected" under Code section 411(d)(6), unless otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. For the purposes hereof, former Participants, Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees shall be considered Participants.

(a)General. In the event that there is a Change of Control (as defined in Section 15.01(b)) of the Company, then, the Accounts of all Participants in the Plan shall become immediately fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of the Change of Control.

(b)Definition of Change of Control. For purposes of this Section 15.01, the term "Change of Control" shall mean, and shall be deemed to have occurred, each time the date on which one of the events described in paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) below occurs; provided that if a Change of Control occurs by reason of an acquisition by any Person that comes within the provisions of paragraph (1) below, no additional Change of Control shall be deemed to occur under such paragraph (1) by reason of subsequent changes in holdings by such Person (except if the holdings by such Person are reduced below 30% and thereafter increase to 30% or above). For the purpose of this paragraph (b), the term "Company" shall include Devon Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and any successor thereto.

15.02Amendment of this ARTICLE XV by the Company. Notwithstanding any of the provisions in the Plan to the contrary, this ARTICLE XV may be amended or deleted in any manner as the Company determines prior to the time that a Change of Control occurs. Upon or after a Change of Control, this ARTICLE XV may not be amended, modified or terminated without the consent of the affected Participant unless such amendment, modification or termination is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Code and the failure to satisfy such requirements of the Code would result in the disqualification of the Plan.

(a)Except as provided in Section 16.01(b), none of the payments, benefits or rights of any Participant, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee's process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Participant, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 16.01(b), no Participant, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as hereinabove provided.

16.02No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Participants and other Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

16.03Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

16.04Heirs, Assigns and Personal Representatives. This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Participant, Beneficiary and Alternate Payee, present and future (except that no successor to the Employer shall be considered a Plan sponsor unless that successor adopts the Plan).

No person shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Trust Fund, except as provided from time to time under the Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits payable under the Plan to such person or out of the assets of the Trust Fund. All payments of benefits as provided for in the Plan shall be made from the assets of the Trust Fund, and neither the Employer nor any other person shall be liable therefore in any manner.

16.10Payments to Minors, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person's guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment (which may be in installments) shall fully discharge the Trustee, the Committee, the Employer and all other parties with respect thereto.

16.11Reliance on Data and Consents. The Employer, the Trustee, the Committee, all fiduciaries with respect to the Plan, and all other persons or entities associated with the operation of the Plan, the management of its assets, and the provision of benefits thereunder, may reasonably rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of all data provided by any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee, including, without limitation, data with respect to age, health and marital status.

16.12Deemed Acceptance of Act or Omission by a Plan Fiduciary. If a Plan fiduciary (as determined under ERISA) or an individual or entity with authority delegated by a Plan fiduciary, acts or fails to act with respect to a Participant or a Participant's Account under the Plan and the Participant has direct or indirect knowledge of such act or failure to act, the Participant's failure to notify the Plan fiduciary (or the Plan fiduciary's delegate) within a reasonable period of time that such act or failure to act was incorrect or inconsistent with the Participant's intent or election shall be deemed to be an acceptance and ratification of the Plan fiduciary's (or the Plan fiduciary's delegate) act or failure to act.

16.13Lost Payees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited, and used as set forth in Section 7.04(b), if the Committee is unable to locate a Participant, a Beneficiary or an Alternate Payee to whom payment is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated, without any earnings from the date deemed forfeited to the date reinstated, if a claim is made by the party to whom properly payable.

The Participant assumes all risk in connection with any change in values.

16.15Notices. Each Participant, Beneficiary and Alternate Payee shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices, reports and benefit payments. Any notice required or permitted to be given shall be deemed given if directed to the person to whom addressed at such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first-class and prepaid. If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification if the regulations issued under ERISA deem sufficient notice to be given by the posting of notice in appropriate places, or by any other publication device.

16.16Recovery of Overpayment. The Plan has a right of reimbursement against any person who receives or holds a payment from the Plan in excess of the amount to which a Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary is entitled under the terms of the Plan. The Plan's right to recover overpayments from any Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary exists regardless of the error, event or other circumstances giving rise to the overpayment and shall not be conditioned upon or mitigated by the behavior of any involved party. The Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary shall not be permitted to raise reliance, estoppel or other legal or equitable defenses in response to any action by the Plan to recovery an overpayment. The Plan's right to recovery is an equitable lien by agreement, and the Committee or Trustee may recover the amount overpaid in any manner determined by the Committee or Trustee to be in the best interests of the Plan, including, but not limited to, by legal action against the recipient and/or holder of the overpayment or by offset against other or future benefits payable to or with respect to the Participant, Spouse, Alternate Payee, or Beneficiary under the Plan, regardless of whether the overpaid amounts remain in his or her possession. The provisions of this Section are intended to clarify existing rights of the Plan and apply to all past or future overpayments.
