Phillips 66 Savings Plan

PREAMBLE

THE PURPOSES OF THIS PLAN ARE TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT EMPLOYEE SAVINGS BY OFFERING A SYSTEMATIC SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM WHICH ALLOWS EMPLOYEES THE FLEXIBILITY TO ATTAIN INTERMEDIATE FINANCIAL GOALS AND/OR LONG RANGE FINANCIAL SECURITY AND TO ENCOURAGE AND DEVELOP EMPLOYEE INTEREST AND INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMPANY BY OWNERSHIP OF PHILLIPS 66 STOCK.

The Phillips 66 Savings Plan (“Plan”) was created by spinning off assets and liabilities from the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan (“COP Plan”) when Phillips 66 was spun off from ConocoPhillips effective May 1, 2011. The intent of the Plan is to preserve the benefits accrued under the COP Plan and to continue those benefits in substantially the same form for those employees transferred from ConocoPhillips to Phillips 66 effective May 1, 2012. Accordingly, the provisions of the COP Plan have been substantially replicated in this Plan.

1. Acquisition Loan shall mean a loan to the Plan, the proceeds of which will be used by the Trust Fund to finance the acquisition of Company Stock, or to repay or refinance, to the extent permitted by Code Section 4975, a prior Acquisition Loan which loan may constitute an extension of credit to the Plan by a person who is a “disqualified person”, as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, or a “party in interest”, as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, or a loan to the Plan which is guaranteed by a “disqualified person” or “party in interest”, provided such loan or loans satisfy all of the requirements of an exempt loan described in Code Section 4975(d)(3) and Section 408(b)(3) of ERISA and any regulation issued thereunder. Reference to a specific Acquisition Loan (including, where appropriate, any Acquisition Loan arising by virtue of the refinancing of any Acquisition Loan) shall be made by identifying the loan in the chronological order the loan was made such that the first Acquisition Loan shall be identified as “Acquisition Loan One”.

 

2. Affiliated Group shall mean Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which it owns five percent or more equity interest.

 

3. After-Tax Account shall mean the portion of a Participant’s account that includes the Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund attributable to the Participant’s After-Tax Deposits in both the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature.

 

4. After-Tax Deposits shall mean Deposits made to either the Thrift Feature or Stock Savings Feature as defined in this Article in accordance with Code Section 401(m) and, for the Stock Savings Feature, all After-Tax Deposits resulting from the Employee exceeding the Code Section 402(g) limit.

 

5. Allocation Account shall mean a subaccount of the Trust Fund which contains (a) Financed Shares from Acquisition Loan Two Suspense Account which are released from the Suspense Account pending allocation to the accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries; (b) Contributions other than those used to pay an Acquisition Loan; and (c) Shares of Company Stock purchased with the Company Contributions described in (b) above, pending allocation to the accounts of Participants. A separate Allocation Account shall be established for each Acquisition Loan and related Suspense Account.

7. Allocation Period shall mean each consecutive six Plan Month period ending on each June 30 and December 31, except that the June 2012 Allocation Period shall mean the three Plan Month period ending on June 30, 2012.

 

8.

Annual Addition shall mean the sum of all Contributions, Deposits, forfeitures and amounts described in Code Sections 415(1)(1) and 419A(d)(2) allocated to a Participant’s account for the Plan Year. Where the release of Shares of Company Stock in the Stock Savings Feature is under the “special” rule as described in Article VI, the Annual Addition per Share is determined by dividing the number of Financed Shares released and allocated to Participants as a Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation during the current Plan Year into the total Contribution used for payments on the Acquisition Loan associated with the release for the period beginning with the last principal payment date in the preceding Plan Year through the last principal payment date in the current Plan Year.

 

2


  Where the release is under the “general” rule described in Article VI, the Annual Addition per Share is determined by dividing the number of Financed Shares released and allocated to Participants as a Semiannual Allocation or Supplemental Allocation in the current Plan Year into the total Contribution used for payments on the Acquisition Loan associated with the release for the Plan Year. The Annual Addition for Shares of Company Stock other than Financed Shares allocated from the Allocation Account shall be (i) for Shares purchased with Contributions, the purchase price of such Shares, or (ii) for Shares contributed as Contributions, the fair market value of such Shares as of the date of such Contribution. For this purpose, fair market value shall be determined using the procedure described under Section 2.B. of Article VIII. There is no Annual Addition for Financed Shares allocated to Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ accounts to replace dividends on Company Stock held in Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ accounts that is retained by the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature for repayment of an Acquisition Loan.

In the event of a sale of Financed Shares held in the Suspense Account, followed by allocation of the proceeds of such sale, each Participant’s Annual Addition shall include an amount of such allocation as required by Code Section 415.

ARTICLE III—PARTICIPATION AND EMPLOYEE DEPOSITS

 

1. Participation and Enrollment.

 

  A. Voluntary Participation. Participation in the Plan by Employees is voluntary.

 

  B. Payment of Deposits. Amounts representing Deposits shall be deducted from payrolls, or paid otherwise, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator and shall be paid into the Trust Fund as soon as administratively practicable by the Company. These deductions will be considered Deposits when deducted from Pay. Separate accounts in the Thrift Feature and/or Stock Savings Feature will be maintained for the Deposits of each Participant.

 

  C. Enrollment. Each eligible Employee may elect to begin, change or stop making Deposits to the Thrift Feature or the Stock Savings Feature at any time in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator. Changes to the Deposit percentages will become effective as soon as administratively practicable following the successful election of the change. An election to participate or to change a Deposit percentage will not be effective until after expiration of any applicable period of suspension. A Deposit election by an Employee that may be adjusted by the Plan Benefits Administrator, shall remain in effect until changed by the Employee, or adjusted by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

 

2. Thrift Feature Deposit Rates.

 

  A. Thrift Feature Maximum Deposit Rate. Subject to Section 5 of this Article, a maximum Deposit percentage of up to 75 percent of Pay and a minimum of 1%, may be elected in the Thrift Feature by an Employee in any desired combination of Before-Tax Deposit, After-Tax Deposit and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentages.

 

3. Stock Savings Feature Deposit Rate.

5. Limitation of Deposits.

 

  A.

Code Section 402(g) Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposits and elective deferrals under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Employer are limited to the amount allowed by Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year. An Employee’s Before-Tax Deposits and/or Roth 401(k) Deposits will automatically be converted to After-Tax Deposits when his total Before-Tax and Roth 401(k)

 

11


  Deposits in this Plan and all other CODAs of the Employer for the year exceeds the amount allowed by Code Section 402(g). Any excess Roth 401(k) and/or Before-Tax Deposits shall be reduced first by recharacterizing Before Tax Deposits to After-Tax Deposits in the Thrift Feature, and then in all other plans of the Employer that are qualified under Code Section 401(k); and then by recharacterizing Roth 401(k) Deposits to After-Tax Deposits in the Thrift Feature, and then all other plans of the Employer that are qualified under Code Section 401(k); and then by recharacterizing Before Tax Deposits to After-Tax Deposits in the Stock Savings Feature, and then by recharacterizing Roth 401(k) Deposits to After-Tax Deposits in the Stock Savings Feature. All recharacterizations shall be done by no later than 2 1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year. Any remaining excess Before-Tax Deposits and/or Roth 401(k) Deposits, together with applicable earnings, will be refunded to the Participant from this Plan. Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits will resume in the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature at the beginning of the following year if not changed by the Employee before that time. The Before-Tax and/or Roth 401(k) Deposit and applicable earnings amounts will be reported separately on the Participant’s W-2 Form. To the extent administratively practicable, if a Participant has participated in a plan of another employer during the Plan Year, the Participant may request a distribution of Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits or a recharacterization of Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits to After-Tax Deposits of the amount exceeding such 402(g) limit in a manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

 

  B. 401(k) Anti-Discrimination Test.

 

  (1) Before-Tax Deposits and Roth 401(k) Deposits made by Highly Compensated Employees during a Plan Year, aggregated for both the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature, shall comply with limitations under Code Section 401(k) and regulations promulgated thereunder. For each Plan Year, the Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of one of the following tests:

 

  (a) The average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed 125 percent of the average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for all other eligible Employees for the current Plan Year; or

 

  (b) The average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed 200 percent of the average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for all other eligible Employees for the current Plan Year and the excess of the average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees over that of all other eligible Employees for the current Plan Year shall not be more than two percentage points.

 

12


  (2) The average annual Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage for a specified group of Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of the amount of each Participant’s Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposits for such Plan Year to his Code Section 414(s) compensation for the portion of such Plan Year that he is an eligible Employee. Such averages shall be determined separately for Employees represented by collective bargaining units and for non-represented Employees.

 

  (3) To assure compliance with these limitations, any Before-Tax and Roth 401(k) Deposit percentage specified by a non-represented Employee, who is a Highly Compensated Employee with a Variable Benefit Base Rate (as defined in the Company’s standard payroll procedures) greater than $9,166.66 (adjusted in the same manner as the $110,000 amount in Code Section 414(q) for the prior year) shall be subject to the Plan Benefits Administrator’s approval and adjustment; provided, however, the percentages for all non-represented Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced where the limitation under Code Section 401(m) requires a reduction in the combined Before-Tax, Roth 401(k) and After-Tax rate to less than 1.25 percent for non-represented Highly Compensated Employees. Further, the percentages of all Highly Compensated Employees represented by collective bargaining units shall be subject to such adjustment. Such percentage may be so reduced by the Plan Benefits Administrator before it becomes effective, and may also be so reduced at any time by the Plan Benefit Administrator without prior notice, including the recharacterization of Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposit percentages to After-Tax Deposit percentages prior to the close of the Plan Year in which the limitation was exceeded. To the extent of any such reduction of the portion of a Participant’s Deposit percentage allotted to his Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Accounts, there shall be a corresponding increase in the portion of his Deposit percentage allotted to his After-Tax Account, which is subject to further adjustments as described in Paragraph C of this Section.

 

  (4)

If the tests described in Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph are exceeded at the end of any Plan Year, the amount of excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits for a Highly Compensated Employee will be determined in the following manner. First, determine how much the actual deferral ratio as defined in Code Section 401(k)(ADR) of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest ADR would have to be reduced to satisfy the actual deferral percentage test as defined in Code Section 401(k)(ADP) or cause such ratio to equal the ADR of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest ratio. Second, this process is repeated until the ADP test would be satisfied. The amount of excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits is equal to the sum of these hypothetical reductions multiplied, in each case, by the Highly Compensated Employee’s Pay. The Plan Benefits Administrator also may apply these tests during the Plan Year and reduce Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits before the end of the Plan Year in any equitable and nondiscriminatory manner.

 

13


The amount of excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits (with income allocable thereto) to be distributed will be determined using the “dollar leveling method” under Code section 401(k)(8)(C) starting with the Highly Compensated Employee with the greatest dollar amount of Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits and other contributions treated as Before-Tax Deposits for the Plan Year until all excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits have been distributed. Any Contributions made with respect to Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits that are returned to a Participant under this Section will be used to reduce future Contributions and will not be allocated to the account of the Participant receiving the refund of the excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits.

 

  (5) The income allocable to the excess Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits is equal to the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year.

 

  (6) In determining the limitations to Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposit percentages, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall aggregate participation in the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature with other Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits to plans of the Employer qualified under Code Section 401(k) to the extent either permitted and elected or required under the Code. The Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposit percentages under the Thrift Feature and all other CODAs of the Employer shall be limited to the extent necessary before any limitation shall be made in Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature.

 

  C. 401(m) Anti-Discrimination Test.

 

  (1) After-Tax Deposits aggregated for both the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature and Contributions made by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees must comply with limitations under Code Section 401(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For each Plan Year, the Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of one of the following tests:

 

  (a) The average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees who are not represented by a collective bargaining unit shall not exceed 125 percent of the average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for all other non-represented eligible Employees for the current Plan Year; or

 

  (b) The average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees who are not represented by a collective bargaining unit shall not exceed 200 percent of the average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for all other non-represented eligible Employees for the current Plan Year, and the excess of the average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for all such eligible Highly Compensated Employees over that of all such other eligible Employees for the current Plan Year shall not be more than two percentage points.

 

14


  (2) The average annual After-Tax Deposit and Contribution percentage for a specified group of Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of the sum of each Participant’s After-Tax Deposits (including any Before-Tax or Roth 401(k) Deposits which have been recharacterized as After-Tax Deposits) and Contributions for such Plan Year to his Code Section 414(s) compensation for the portion of such Plan Year that he is an eligible Employee.

 

  (3) To assure compliance with these limitations, any After-Tax Deposit percentage specified by a non-represented Employee, who is a Highly Compensated Employee with a Variable Benefit Base Rate (as defined in the Company’s standard payroll procedures) greater than $9,166.66 (adjusted in the same manner as the $110,000 amount in Code Section 414(q) for the prior year) shall be subject to the Plan Benefits Administrator’s approval and adjustment.

 

  (4) If the tests described in Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph are exceeded at the end of any Plan Year, the Administrator will determine the excess After-Tax Deposits and Contributions in the following manner. First, determine how much the actual contribution ratio as defined in Code Section 401(m)(ACR) of the Highly compensated Employee with the highest ACR would have to be reduced to satisfy the actual contribution percentage test as defined in Code Section 401(m)(ACP) or cause such ratio to equal the ACR of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest ratio. Second, this process is repeated until the ACP text would be satisfied. The amount of excess After-Tax Deposits and Contributions is equal to the sum of these hypothetical reductions multiplied, in each case, by the Highly Compensated Employee’s Pay. The Plan Benefits Administrator also may apply these tests during the Plan Year and reduce After-Tax Deposits and Contributions before the end of the Plan Year in any equitable and nondiscriminatory manner.

The distribution (or forfeiture, if applicable) of excess After-Tax Deposits and Contributions (with income allocable thereto) shall be made on the basis of the respective amounts attributable to each Highly Compensated Employee. The Highly Compensated Employees subject to actual distribution or forfeiture are determined using the “dollar leveling method” under Code section 401(m)(6)(C) starting with the Highly Compensated Employee with the greatest dollar amount of After-Tax Deposits and Contributions for the Plan Year and continuing until the amount of the excess After-Tax Deposits and Contributions has been distributed. Any excess After-Tax Deposits and Contributions will be returned within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year for which it was made if the amount was vested or forfeited and applied to reduce future Contributions if it was not vested.

 

15


  (5) The income allocable to the excess After-Tax Deposits and to any forfeited Contributions is equal to the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year.

 

  (6) In determining compliance with Code Section 401(m) the Deposits and Contributions made to other plans of the Employer shall be aggregated with this Plan to the extent either permitted and elected or required under the Code.

 

6. Make-Up Deposits for Employees Returning From Military Service.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, Deposits, Contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u).

If on a military leave of absence the following options are available to continue Plan participation:

 

  A. While continuing to receive Pay an Employee may continue Deposits through payroll deduction.

 

  B. An Employee may suspend Deposits. Missed Deposits may be made up upon return to work through payroll deductions based on Pay within the time period prescribed in Code Section 414(u). Company Contributions will be applied to make-up Deposits.

 

16


ARTICLE IV—COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

 

1. Thrift Feature Company Contributions.

 

  A. Amount of Company Contributions. Subject to Section 5 of Article XI, the Companies shall, at the same time that Deposits to the Thrift Feature for which these Contributions apply are paid into the applicable Investment Fund, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustees, as a Contribution to the Thrift Feature, an amount equal to 100 percent of the first 1.25% of Deposits made by or for Participants to the Thrift Feature.

 

  B. Allocation of Contributions Among Participants. Each Contribution shall be allocated among the separate accounts of Participants with respect to whose Deposits such Contribution is made as provided in Section 3.B. of Article VI.

 

  C. Designation as a Profit Sharing Plan and CODA. The Thrift Feature shall constitute a profit sharing plan under Code Section 401(a) with a CODA and with respect to assets held in the Company Stock Fund shall constitute a stock bonus plan under Code Section 401(a) and an employee stock ownership plan under Code Section 4975(e)(7).

 

  D. Application of Forfeited Contributions. Any Contributions to the Thrift Feature that are paid by a Company in excess of the amounts which should have been so paid pursuant to the Plan, together with any earnings thereon, shall be applied against future Contributions, or used subject to Article XVI, for expenses of administration of the Plan.

 

2. Stock Savings Feature Company Contributions.

 

  A. Designation as a Stock Bonus Plan and CODA and ESOP. The Stock Savings Feature shall constitute a part of a stock bonus plan under Code Section 401(a) with a CODA and a part of an employee stock ownership plan under Code Section 4975(e)(7).

 

  B. Amount of Company Contributions.

 

  (1) The Company shall pay or cause to be paid in cash or Shares of Company Stock to the Stock Savings Feature any amount necessary to bring the sum of Shares of Company Stock allocated as Semiannual Allocations to the totals set forth in Paragraph D (1) below:

 

  (2) The Company may pay Contributions or cause Contributions to be paid to the Stock Savings Feature in addition to those Contributions described in the other provisions of this Paragraph. The Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature shall invest such Contributions in Company Stock pursuant to the provisions of Article VI. Such Contributions and Contributions made pursuant to Subparagraph (1) above, shall be placed in Allocation Account Two by the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature.

 

17


  (3) Any Contributions paid by the Company in error in excess of the amounts which should have been so paid pursuant to this Article, together with any earnings thereon, shall be forfeited and used, subject to Article XVI, to restore missed allocations and for expenses of administration of the Plan.

 

  C. Reserved

 

  D. Semiannual Allocation. As of each Allocation Date, the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature shall allocate from an Allocation Account to each eligible Participant’s account in the Company Stock Fund, his portion of Shares of Company Stock. A person is eligible to receive an allocation if he has made Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature during the Allocation Period, or is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order and is eligible for a portion of an allocation contingent on the Participant’s eligibility to receive an allocation.

 

  (1) The number of Shares of Company Stock to be allocated as Semiannual Allocations as of each Allocation Date shall be determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator, based a target allocation ratio of 8:1.

 

  (2) Each Participant’s proportionate share of each Semiannual Allocation shall be an amount, expressed in Shares, equal to the total number of Shares of Company Stock to be allocated from the Allocation Account on the Allocation Date, multiplied by a fraction:

 

  (a) The numerator of which is the sum of the Participant’s Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature during the Allocation Period ending on the Allocation Date; and

 

  (b) The denominator of which is the sum of all Deposits made to the Stock Savings Feature during the Allocation Period ending on the Allocation Date.

 

  E. Average Pay Factor. On the last day of each Plan Month the total number of Employees who made Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature during the Plan Month which is two months preceding the current Plan Month will be compared to the total number of Employees who made Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature during the immediately preceding Plan Month. In the event that the number of Employees making such Deposits has changed by 10 percent or more, then the total number of Shares of Company Stock to be allocated per each 100 Employees as a Semiannual Allocation, beginning with the Allocation Date coincident with or next following the current Plan Month and for each Allocation Date thereafter, will be adjusted by multiplying such number of Shares by the Average Pay Factor (rounded up to the next whole Share at each Allocation Date). The Average Pay Factor shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the average Pay of Employees who made Deposits to the Stock Savings Feature in the immediately preceding Plan Month, and the denominator of which shall be (i) in the event that the change in the number of Employees making such Deposits is a decrease of 10 percent or more, the average Pay of Employees who made Deposits in the Plan Month three months prior to the then current Plan Month, or (ii) in the event that the change in the number of Employees making such Deposits is an increase of 10 percent or more, the average Pay of Employees who made such Deposits in the Plan Month two months prior to the current Plan Month.

 

18


Thereafter, the adjusted number of Shares of Company Stock to be allocated to each 100 Employees as Semiannual Allocations pursuant to Paragraph D of this Section so determined by application of the Average Pay Factor, shall be substituted in place of the number of Shares per 100 Employees set forth in Paragraph D of this Section, and shall be subject to further adjustments pursuant to this Paragraph from time to time.

 

  F. Supplemental Allocation. As of each December Allocation Date of each Plan Year, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall allocate from an Allocation Account a proportionate share of all remaining Financed Shares in such account to each eligible Participant’s account in the Leveraged Stock Fund.

Each Participant’s proportionate share of each Supplemental Allocation shall be an amount, expressed in Shares, equal to the total number of Shares of Company Stock to be allocated, multiplied by a fraction:

 

  (1) The numerator of which is the sum of the Participant’s Deposits made to the Stock Savings Feature during the Plan Year; and

 

  (2) The denominator of which is the sum of all Deposits made to the Stock Savings Feature during the Plan Year.

 

3. 415 Limitations.

 

  A. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Annual Addition of a Participant in this Plan for any calendar year when aggregated as required by Code Section 415(f), with annual additions under any other qualified defined contribution plan maintained, or deemed to be maintained, by the Employer in which such Participant may have participated during such calendar year (“aggregated annual additions”), shall not exceed the lesser of;

 

  (1) $50,000 (as adjusted by Code Section 415(d)); or

 

  (2) 100 percent of such Participant’s compensation paid by the Employer for such year; provided, however, that the above limitation may be adjusted, as allowed by Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, with respect to a Participant who may also be participating or have participated in an employee stock ownership plan maintained by the Employer. A Participant’s “compensation” as used in this Section shall mean such Participant’s compensation for such calendar year as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-2(d)(4), plus amounts that would have been received and includable in gross income but for an election under Code Sections 125(a), 132(f)(4), or 402(e)(3).

 

  B.

In the event it is subsequently determined that, as a result of a reasonable administrative error, a Participant has made Deposits or the Company has made Contributions relating thereto which are not permitted by reason of the limitations described in this Section, such Participant’s participation will be adjusted. If the

 

19


  Participant participates in the Thrift Feature his Deposits shall be returned to him. Then, if further reductions are necessary, such Participant’s Deposits in the Stock Savings Feature shall be returned to him and the Contributions attributable to all such returned Deposits shall be forfeited. In the event of any distribution of excess Deposits or forfeiture of Contributions under this Section, the amount distributed or forfeited shall include any earnings or losses attributable to the Plan Year in which the excess occurred.

  (4) “Key Employee” shall mean any employee (including a deceased employee) who, at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date is:

 

  (a) An officer of the Employer having annual Compensation greater than $165,000 as adjusted pursuant to Code Section 416(i)(1)(A) for any such Plan Year (with a maximum of 50 officers taken into account or, if less, the greater of three or ten percent of the employees);

 

  (b) Any five percent owner of the Employer; or

 

  (c) Any one percent owner having annual Compensation from the Employer of more than $150,000.

  (7) “Required Aggregation Group” means, for purposes of determining if a plan of the Employer is Top-Heavy for a particular Plan Year, each qualified plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a Participant for the Plan Year containing the Determination Date and each other plan, if any, which, during that period, enables the aforementioned plan(s) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

 

  (8) “Top-Heavy” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the Plan, or each plan within the aggregation groups described above in (6) or (7) of this Paragraph, as applicable, which satisfies the Top-Heavy determination test described in Section 4.B. of this Article as of the Determination Date.

 

  (9) “Super Top-Heavy” means, with respect to a Plan Year, the Plan or each plan in the applicable aggregation group which satisfies the Super Top-Heavy determination test described in Section 4.C. of this Article as of the Determination Date.

 

  B. Top-Heavy Determination. The Plan shall be considered to be Top-Heavy for a Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date, either:

Provided, however, that the Plan shall not be considered Top-Heavy if the Plan Administrator elects to treat the Plan as part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and such group is determined not to be a Top-Heavy group under the 60 percent test described above.

 

  C. Super Top-Heavy Determination. The Plan shall be considered to be Super Top-Heavy for a Plan Year if the Plan would be considered Top-Heavy under the tests described in Section 4.B. of this Article if the applicable test were applied by substituting “90 percent” for “60 percent” each place it appears.

 

  D. Top-Heavy Requirements. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions will apply:

  A. The Leveraged Stock Fund shall constitute part of the ESOP and shall consist primarily of Company Stock purchased by the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature in accordance with this Paragraph and allocated to eligible Participants in accordance with Section 2 of Article IV.

 

  (1) From time to time the Committee may direct the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature to incur Acquisition Loans for the Stock Savings Feature of the Plan. Any such Acquisition Loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest and shall not be payable on demand except in the event of default to the extent permitted by Code Section 4975(d)(3) and Section 408(b)(3) of ERISA and any regulations promulgated thereunder. An Acquisition Loan shall be without recourse against the Plan and Trust Fund. Repayment of any Acquisition Loan may be secured by a collateral pledge or other encumbrance of Financed Shares, provided that any such pledge or other encumbrance does not violate ERISA, the Code, regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board or any other applicable law or regulation. No other assets of the Trust Fund may be pledged or otherwise encumbered as collateral for an Acquisition Loan. Any pledge or other encumbrance of Financed Shares must provide for the release of Financed Shares so pledged or encumbered in accordance with this Section. Except as provided by Section 6 of Article XI or as otherwise required by applicable law, no security acquired with the proceeds of an Acquisition Loan may be subject to a put, call, or other option, or to a buy-sell or other arrangement while held by or when distributed by the Plan.

Each Acquisition Loan shall be for a definite period of time. Any collateral given for such loan shall be limited to “qualifying employer securities” as defined in Code Section 409(1) purchased with the proceeds of such loan or a prior exempt Acquisition Loan. Any assets transferred in satisfaction of such loan shall not exceed the amount of default, and in the case of transfer to a disqualified person as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(2), any assets transferred to satisfy default shall not exceed the payment schedule of such loan. Each Acquisition Loan shall be primarily for the benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries.

 

  (2) No person entitled to payment under an Acquisition Loan shall have any right to assets of the Plan or Trust Fund other than:

 

  (a) Financed Shares given as collateral for the loan and remaining subject to pledge or other encumbrance;

 

  (b) Contributions (other than employer securities) that are made to the Plan to meet its obligations under the loan;

 

  (c) Earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such Contributions; and

 

  (d) Other assets permitted to be used for such purpose under ERISA and the Code.

 

26


The payments made with respect to an Acquisition Loan during a Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of Contributions to the Stock Savings Feature and Trust Fund earnings, including dividends, on such Contributions (not to exceed the earnings described in Subparagraph (5) of this Paragraph) during or prior to the Plan Year less such payments under this Plan in prior years. The Plan Benefits Administrator shall account for such Contributions to the Stock Savings Feature and earnings separately in the Plan’s books of account until an Acquisition Loan is repaid.

 

  (3) As directed by the Committee, the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of the proceeds of an Acquisition Loan, apply the loan proceeds to acquire Company Stock from either shareholders or Phillips 66, or to repay an Acquisition Loan.

 

  (4) The Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature shall maintain Financed Shares purchased with an Acquisition Loan in a Suspense Account. A Suspense Account shall be deemed an asset of the Plan and shall constitute part of the ESOP. The Plan Benefits Administrator shall release Financed Shares as needed for allocation pursuant to Section 2 of Article IV. As of the December Allocation Date, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall release the balance of Financed Shares that must be released from the Suspense Account during the Plan Year. The number of Shares to be released shall be determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator in accordance with the “special” rule described in this Subparagraph if it can be lawfully applied. If it cannot be lawfully applied, the “general” rule in this Subparagraph shall be followed. Financed Shares shall be transferred to the Allocation Account pending allocation of Shares to the Participants’ accounts which represent the Participants’ interest in assets withdrawn from the Suspense Account. An Allocation Account shall be deemed an asset of the Plan and shall constitute a part of the ESOP.

 

  (a) General Rule: The general rule is based upon the payment of principal and interest on the Acquisition Loan. For each Plan Year during the duration of the Acquisition Loan, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall release from the Suspense Account a number of Shares equal to the total number of Shares held in the Suspense Account immediately prior to the release, multiplied by a fraction:

 

  (i) The numerator of the fraction is the amount of principal and interest paid for the Plan Year; and

 

  (ii) The denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the principal and interest to be paid for all future Plan Years.

 

  (b) Special Rule: The special rule is based solely on principal payments, as follows:

 

27


  (i) For each Plan Year during the duration of the Acquisition Loan, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall release from the Suspense Account a number of Shares equal to the total number of such Shares held in the Suspense Account immediately prior to the release, multiplied by a fraction:

 

  (a) The numerator of the fraction is the amount of principal paid for the Plan Year; and

 

  (b) The denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the principal to be paid for all future Plan Years.

 

  (ii) The Committee may only apply the special rule if the Acquisition Loan provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate which is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such amounts for ten years, and the interest included in any payment is disregarded only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables.

 

  (c) The special rule shall not be applicable from the time that, by reason of a renewal, extension or refinancing, the sum of the expired duration of the Acquisition Loan, the renewal period, the extension period and the duration of a new Acquisition Loan exceeds ten years.

 

  (d) In determining the number of Shares to be released for any Plan Year under either the general rule or the special rule:

 

  (i) The number of future years under the Acquisition Loan must be definitely ascertainable and must be determined without taking into account any possible extensions or renewal periods;

 

  (ii) If the Acquisition Loan provides for a variable interest rate, the interest to be paid for all future Plan Years must be computed by using the interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year for which the determination is being made;

 

  (iii) If Financed Shares held in a Suspense Account include more than one class of Shares, the number of Shares of each class to be released for a Plan Year from the Suspense Account must be determined by applying the applicable fraction provided for under the general rule or the special rule to each such class; and

 

  (iv) To the extent that proceeds of an Acquisition Loan are used to repay an existing Acquisition Loan, such repayment shall not cause Financed Shares to be released from the Suspense Account.

 

28


  (5) The Committee shall instruct the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature to apply the following sources for payments on Acquisition Loans to satisfy Plan obligations under such Acquisition Loans as follows:

 

  (a) Sources for payment on Acquisition Loan Two are:

 

  (i) Contributions pursuant to Section 2.B.(1) of Article IV and earnings thereon; and

 

  (ii) Dividends on Shares in the Leveraged Stock Fund.

 

  (b) Upon the Committee’s receipt of (i) a written request from the Company that the Committee instruct the Trustees holding the assets attributable to the Stock Savings Feature to give a notice of prepayment of an Acquisition Loan, and (ii) written confirmation from the Company that the Company consents to the making of the requested prepayment, the Committee shall instruct such Trustees to give the requested notice of, and to make, the prepayment of the Acquisition Loan in the amount specified by the Company.

 

  B. The ESOP shall also include unallocated Financed Shares in all Suspense Accounts, all Shares in Allocation Accounts, and Shares in the Company Stock Fund.

 

  C. The ESOP shall also include Shares purchased with dividends on all Shares of Company Stock.

 

  D. The ESOP shall also include all assets other than Shares of Company Stock held in all Suspense Accounts and Allocation Accounts.

 

8. Income on Fund Assets.

Interest, dividends and other income on the assets of each Investment Fund (except dividends on Company Stock to the extent such dividends are either retained in the Leveraged Stock Fund for repayment of an Acquisition Loan or paid out from the Company Stock Fund to Participants and Beneficiaries as a Dividend Pass-Through, and dividends on the Leveraged Stock Fund, the ConocoPhillips Stock, the ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock and DuPont Stock) shall be paid into such Investment Fund and invested in the manner prescribed for such Investment Fund by the provisions of this Plan and the Trust Agreements. Pending such investment the Trustees may invest such interest, dividends and other income in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, managed by the Vanguard Group, Inc. Dividends on the Leveraged Stock Fund will be reinvested in the Company Stock Fund. Dividends on the ConocoPhillips Stock, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock and DuPont Stock will be reinvested in the same manner as the Participant’s other current investment allocations. If no investment allocation exists, dividends on the ConocoPhillips Stock, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock and DuPont Stock will be reinvested in a qualified default investment alternative as designated by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

 

29


9. Trust Fund for the Benefit of Participants.

The Trustees shall hold the Trust Fund and the corpus or income may not be diverted to or used for other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or Beneficiaries subject to the provisions of the Plan.

When the Trustees are authorized to purchase or sell Company Stock, except in the case of an Acquisition Loan, the Trustees may do so on the open market or elsewhere as it may deem appropriate, including purchases from or sales to Phillips 66 or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. Subject to Section 3 of Article VIII, if such Shares are purchased or sold other than on the open market, the purchase price must be no more than the highest quotation and the sale price no less than the lowest quotation for such securities on the New York Stock Exchange for the date of such purchase or sale, adjusted for brokerage fees, commissions, and other handling charges.

 

11. Sale of Securities.

The Trustees may exercise or sell any options, rights or warrants that entitle the Trustees to subscribe to or purchase securities. If any sales are made other than on a national securities exchange, the price shall be no less than the closing quotation for such options, rights or warrants on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of such sale, adjusted for brokerage fees, commissions and other handling charges.

ARTICLE VIII—THE SHARE SYSTEM AND VALUATION OF THE TRUST FUND

 

1. Shares and Share Values.

 

  A. The interest of each Participant and Beneficiary in each Investment Fund shall be represented by Shares allocated to him.

 

  B. Subject to Section 3 of this Article, each Investment Fund’s Share price, called its net asset value (NAV) is calculated each Valuation Date after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4 p.m., Eastern time.

 

  C. On each date that Deposits, dividends receivable or Contributions are paid or credited into an Investment Fund, the Share value immediately prior to such additions shall be determined as provided in Sections 2 and 3 of this Article. Each Participant or Beneficiary shall then be credited with additional Shares in each applicable Investment Fund representing any additional Deposits, dividends credited to such Investment Fund, earnings on assets in such Investment Fund, and any Contributions made to his account.

 

  D. The number of such Shares so credited shall be calculated by dividing the Share value into the sum of the additional Deposits, dividends credited to such Investment Fund, or Contributions paid into such Investment Fund on behalf of such Participant or Beneficiary, and the total number of Shares outstanding with respect to such Investment Fund shall be increased accordingly.

 

  E. The Shares in the Investment Funds shall be kept in accounts that shall separate Shares attributable to each Participant’s Deposits and Contributions to the Thrift Feature, and Deposits and Contributions to the Stock Savings Feature.

 

  F. The Trustees may re-establish the value of Shares from time to time and shall adjust the number of Shares in each account accordingly such that the value of the account will not be affected.

 

2. Computation of Share Values for Determination of Participant Account at the end of each Valuation Date.

 

  A. Mutual Funds. Except for the Company Stock Fund, Leveraged Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock Fund and the, DuPont Stock Fund the value of a Share as of a Valuation Date for each Investment Fund that is invested in a mutual fund shall be the NAV of such mutual fund for that Valuation Date.

 

  B. Separately Managed Funds. The unit value of units of participation purchased in separately managed funds shall be based on the accrued value, which shall include principal value plus accrued interest, of all investment vehicles within the fund divided by the total outstanding units within the fund for that Valuation Date. The unit value of units of participation shall include all costs and charges used to establish the unit value of the units of participation. The cost to a Participant’s Account of units of participation purchased pursuant to the separately managed funds and the proceeds credited to the Participant’s Account upon the sale of units of participation in the separately managed funds shall be based on the unit value for that Valuation Date.

 

33


  C. Company Stock Funds. The Trustees shall value or obtain the value of each stock fund as of each Valuation Date.

The Shares within the Company Stock Fund, Leveraged Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock Fund, and DuPont Stock Fund shall be valued at the end of each Valuation Date as follows:

 

  (1) On the basis of the latest recorded trade price for such security on the New York Stock Exchange, or if there has been no such recorded trade price, then on the basis of the mean of the latest recorded bid and asked price on such Exchange on such Valuation Date. If there have been no such recorded trade or bid and asked price on such Valuation Date, then on the basis of the latest recorded trade price for such security on such Exchange on the next Valuation Date, or the mean of the latest bid and asked price on the next Valuation Date, or the mean of the latest bid and asked price for such security on such Exchange during such period, whichever is the later;

 

  (2) In such situation when there is no such recorded trade price or bid/ask price, regardless of the price used for valuation, the stock fund will be frozen to participant activity until stock trading resumes on the market; and

 

  (3) For the purposes of this Section, recorded trade price and bid/ask price shall be those appearing on the records of the New York Stock Exchange. The term “business day” shall mean a day when the New York Stock Exchange and the Trustees are open for business.

 

3. Computation of Share Values for Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock Transactions.

 

  A. When making Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock transactions, the Trustees shall offset Contributions, investment exchanges in and out of the applicable fund, and distributions on a daily basis. Transactions will be made among Participants of the applicable fund before executing any stock trades in the market in order to minimize the number of Shares that must be sold or purchased. Any Shares purchased or sold for that day are then valued using the PTP. The PTP shall be calculated using the following two components on the Valuation Date of the transaction.

Component A: The weighted average price of the actual Shares of Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock traded for the Plan on that Valuation Date including commissions paid, which increases the cash amount paid on purchases and reduces proceeds received on sales.

Component B: The trading impact of the purchase or sale of additional Shares of Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock for the Plan to complete the prior day’s activity. This adjustment will not exceed $.125 per Share on any Valuation Date, and any impact greater than $.125 per Share will be carried forward to subsequent Valuation Dates.

 

34


Therefore, by way of example, if the weighted average price of Component A is $51.00 and the maximum trading impact adjustment of Component B is $.125, the PTP for the current Valuation Date would be $51.125.

The daily PTP for the Leveraged Stock Fund and the Company Stock Fund may not be equal due to separate trading within each fund. In addition, the daily PTP for the ConocoPhillips Stock Fund and the ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock Fund may not be equal due to separate trading within each fund.

 

  B. Participants and Beneficiaries whose accounts have no activity for the Valuation Date or who are making a withdrawal of Shares of Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock, will have their Shares of Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock valued at the closing price for Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock valued at the closing price for Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock for that Valuation Date on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

4. Shares Are Without Priority or Preference.

Each Share of each Investment Fund shall represent a proportionate equal beneficial interest, and none shall have priority or preference over any other Share of the same Investment Fund. No payments to or distributions from any Investment Fund shall be permitted except as of a Valuation Date and on the basis of the Share Value determined as prescribed in Sections 2 and 3 of this Article.

 

35


ARTICLE IX—VESTING OF PARTICIPANT’S INTERESTS

  D. For the purpose of any withdrawal under this Article, determinations of values shall be made as of the Valuation Date on which the withdrawal is processed. No interest or earnings will be paid between the Valuation Date on which the withdrawal is processed and the receipt of the proceeds by the Participant.

 

5. Dividend Pass Through Election.

A person who has an account in the Plan may make an election to receive dividends paid by Phillips 66 to the Trust on the Company Stock attributable to the portion of his account in the Company Stock Fund and the Leveraged Stock Fund. An election to receive dividends under this Paragraph will remain in effect until revoked. Any election or revocation of the election to receive dividends must be made not later than three business days prior to the dividend payment date to be effective for such dividend. Dividend pass through payments will be made as soon as administratively practicable following the dividend payment date.

  (1) With respect to a Participant who has Terminated From Employment, as of any Valuation Date determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator that his account balance is $1,000 or less, unless he has an outstanding loan which is not in default;

 

  (2) With respect to a Beneficiary, as of any Valuation Date determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator that his account balance is $1,000 or less unless he has an outstanding loan which is not in default or has another account under this Plan with an account balance of greater than $1,000;

 

  (3) Upon termination of the Plan as described in Section 1.A.(5) of Article X, provided however that any distributions shall be in conformity with the applicable laws and regulations pertaining to distributions upon plan termination; or

Distributions under Subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this Paragraph shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the referenced Valuation Date and shall be made only if the entire interest of the Participant or Beneficiary is less $1,000 or less on the date of distribution.

 

  B. To a Participant or Beneficiary, part or all of his interest at his request pursuant to Article X.

40


3. Forms of Distribution.

The forms of distribution under this Plan are as follows:

 

  A. Single-Sum Distribution Option.

Any Participant or Beneficiary may elect, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator, a single-sum payment of part or all of his account.

 

  (1) A single-sum payment may be in the form of:

 

  (a) Cash. Cash is available from all Investment Funds. Cash payments will be made by check.

 

  (b) Stock. Distribution from the Company Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock Fund, the DuPont Stock Fund and the Leveraged Stock Fund shall be made in whole Shares of Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock and DuPont Stock plus any cash adjustments; provided, however, that such payments or distributions shall be paid wholly or partially in cash upon directions by the person entitled thereto in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

Provided however, a hardship withdrawal under Section 1.B. of Article X will be in the form of cash only.

 

  (2)

“Eligible Rollover Distribution” shall mean the amount of any single-sum payment or a fixed dollar installment payment pursuant to Paragraph B of this Section made to a Participant, a Participant’s surviving spousal Beneficiary, or a spousal alternate payee (other than the part of such payment that is a required minimum distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9) or a deemed distribution under Section 8 of Article XXI). A hardship withdrawal made under Section 1.B. of Article X, shall not be an Eligible Rollover Distribution. A Participant, Participant’s surviving spousal Beneficiary or a spousal alternate payee may, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator, designate a percentage of the Eligible Rollover Distribution to be paid to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) or to another employer’s plan, to the extent allowed by the Code, with the remainder of the payment to be paid directly to such person. As a condition of eligibility for payment other than solely to such Participant, Participant’s surviving spousal Beneficiary, or spousal alternate payee, such person must furnish to the Plan Benefits Administrator the name of the trustee or custodian of the IRA or the name of the plan to which such percentage is to be paid, and represent that the recipient IRA or plan is eligible to receive and will accept an Eligible Rollover Distribution. If such Participant, spousal beneficiary, or spousal alternate payee fails to designate a percentage of the Eligible Rollover Distribution to be paid to an IRA or other plan or fails to provide any of the other information required by the Plan Benefits Administrator, payment shall be made solely to such person. An election of stock or cash from the Company Stock Fund, the Leveraged Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips

 

41


  Leveraged Stock Fund, and DuPont Stock Fund made in accordance with Subparagraph (1) will be applied to the extent possible to maximize the Company Stock, ConocoPhillips Stock or DuPont Stock paid to the IRA or other plan. A direct rollover of funds from a Roth 401(k) Account shall only be made to another Roth 401(k) account under an applicable retirement plan or to a Roth IRA as permitted by the Code. A nonspouse beneficiary may elect a direct rollover of funds from the Plan to an inherited IRA pursuant to Code Section 402(c)(11).

 

  (3) No less than 30 days and no more than 180 days prior to the date of distribution under this Section, a Participant or Beneficiary shall be provided the notice required by Code Section 402(f). However, such person may elect to waive the 30-day minimum period, after having been provided the opportunity to consider, for a period of at least 30 days, whether to commence or defer distribution.

 

  B. Installment Payment Options.

 

  (1) A Participant who has Terminated From Employment or a Participant’s surviving spouse Beneficiary or an alternate payee may elect any one of the following forms of periodic payments:

 

  (a)

Life Expectancy. A life expectancy installment is a series of payments based on single life expectancy of the recipient or the combined life expectancies of the recipient and his designated Beneficiary. The amount to be distributed shall be calculated by multiplying recipient’s life expectancy and/or the joint life expectancies of the recipient and his Beneficiary (based on tables set forth in the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9) for single or joint life expectancy) by the frequency elected and then dividing the account balance, at the time the payment is calculated, by the number of payments remaining in the life expectancy first designated for this distribution option. Life expectancy installments will begin as soon as administratively practicable following the recipient’s election and will continue until revoked, the recipient reaches age 70  1/2, the account is reduced to zero or the final payment is made based on the original life expectancy.

 

  (b)

Fixed Dollar. A fixed dollar installment is a series of payments based on a designated fixed dollar annual amount selected by the recipient. Fixed dollar installments will begin as soon as administratively practicable following the recipient’s election and will continue until revoked, the account is reduced to zero or the recipient reaches age 70  1/2 and required minimum distribution installments commence.

 

  (c)

Required Minimum Distribution. A required minimum distribution is a series of payments beginning only on the recipient’s required beginning date set forth in Section 4 of this Article based on the recipient’s life expectancy or the combined life expectancies of the

 

42


  recipient and his Beneficiary using life expectancy tables required by the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9). The installments shall begin on the required beginning date at which time the recipient will receive two payments, the amount that is required for the year in which age 70 1/2 was attained and the current year’s payment. Required minimum distribution installments will continue each year thereafter until a single-sum distribution is elected or the account is reduced to zero.

 

  (d) Former Tosco Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan Participants. A Participant or a surviving spouse Beneficiary who has elected a fixed percent periodic payment under Tosco Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan prior to the transfer of accounts of that plan into this Plan as of December 31, 2002 shall continue to receive such periodic payments under that election; provided, however, that this payment option may not be elected under this Plan.

 

  (e) Former Conoco Thrift Plan Participants. A Participant or a surviving spouse Beneficiary who has elected a periodic payment option under the Conoco Thrift Plan prior to the transfer of accounts of that plan into this Plan as of October 3, 2003, which election is not offered under this Plan, shall continue to receive such periodic payments; provided, however, that these payment options may not be elected or reelected under this Plan.

 

  (2) Additional rules regarding installment payments.

 

  (a) The annual amount calculated for installment payments may be paid at the recipient’s election on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis and any such election may be changed anytime.

 

  (b) An individual who, prior to his required beginning date elected a life expectancy or fixed dollar installment, will be required, in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder, upon reaching his required beginning date, to receive additional annual amounts unless the current installment is equal to or more than the minimum required distribution.

 

  (c) Distribution of installment payments will be made from the recipient’s account in accordance with the Investment Fund sequence specified by the recipient, except that, if the recipient does not specify the sequence of Investment Funds to be distributed, the distribution will be made from the recipient’s account on a pro-rata basis from all Investment Funds. Distribution will be made in cash from all Investment Funds except the Leveraged Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Stock Fund, ConocoPhillips Leveraged Stock Fund, DuPont Stock Fund and the Company Stock Fund, which funds may be distributed in cash, ConocoPhillips Stock, DuPont Stock or Company Stock at the recipient’s election.

 

43


  (d) An election made under Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph may be revoked at any time.

 

  (e) A recipient who is receiving installment payments at the time of rehire by the Employer may continue to receive installment payments. However, Deposits and Contributions made after rehire and related earnings are subject to the restrictions that apply to current Employees will not be considered in calculation of the installment payments and must be accounted for separately.

 

4. Deferral of Distribution Until A Required Beginning Date.

 

  A. Upon a Participant’s Termination from Employment, Total Disability, establishment of an account for an alternate payee pursuant to Section 1 of this Article, or the death of a Participant or Beneficiary, such Participant, alternate payee or Beneficiary shall, absent a withdrawal request, be deemed to have deferred receipt of a distribution from the Plan to the applicable required beginning date indicated in Paragraph B of this Section, termination of the Plan or other mandatory distributions set forth in Section 1 of this Article.

 

  B. Distribution of accounts under the Plan may be deferred until one of the following required beginning dates in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder:

 

  (1)

For a former Employee, April 1 of the year following the year the Employee reaches age 70 1/2;

 

  (2)

For the surviving spouse Beneficiary of a Participant, the later of December 31 of the year the Participant would have reached age 70 1/2 or December 31st of the year following the year the Participant died;

 

  (3) For all other Beneficiaries, December 31 of the year containing the fifth anniversary of the death of the Participant or the Participant’s surviving spouse Beneficiary;

 

  (4) For an alternate payee, the Valuation Date that distribution is required to be made to the Participant from whom the alternate payee’s interest is derived under a qualified domestic relations order;

 

  (5)

For an active Employee age 70  1/2 or older, April 1 of the year following the year of Termination From Employment; or

 

  (6) For the Beneficiary of an alternate payee as soon as administratively practicable following the alternate payee’s death.

Former Employees and Beneficiaries who are surviving spouses of Participants may elect to receive required minimum distribution installments pursuant to Section 3.B.(1)(c) of this Article or single-sum distributions on their required beginning date. Other Beneficiaries and alternate payees must receive mandatory distribution in a single-sum on their required beginning date.

 

44


If a recipient is receiving required minimum distribution installments at the time of his death, his Beneficiary must continue to receive annual distributions.

 

5. Lost Participant or Beneficiary.

If after making reasonable efforts, the Plan Benefits Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary to whom a distribution is to be made, the Plan benefits of such person shall be forfeited and may, at the option of the Company, either be (i) applied against future Contributions, or (ii) used, subject to Article XVI, for expenses of administration of the Plan. If the Participant or Beneficiary to whom such distribution was to be made later makes a claim for the interest that was so forfeited, the Plan Benefits Administrator shall verify that the claimant is the Participant or Beneficiary to whom the distribution was originally to have been made. After such verification, the value of the Plan benefits so forfeited shall be determined as of the Valuation Date next following the date the Plan Benefits Administrator approves the claim, as if no forfeiture had occurred. The Company shall transfer cash, Shares of Company Stock, or a combination thereof, necessary for such distribution to be made by the Trustees as of such Valuation Date.

 

6. Put Option.

 

  A. Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Acquisition Loan will be subject to a put option if such Company Stock is not publicly traded when distributed or if it is subject to a trading limitation when distributed. The put option will be exercisable only by a Participant or by a person (including an estate or its distributees) to whom such Company Stock passes by reason of a Participant’s death. Under the put option, the Company offers to purchase the Company Stock from the Participant.

 

  B. A put option will be exercisable at least during a 15-month period that begins on the date the Company Stock subject to the put option is distributed by the Plan. In the case of Company Stock that is publicly traded without restriction when distributed but ceases to be so traded within 15 months after distribution, the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 54.4975-7(b)(11)(ii) shall apply.

 

  C. A put option is exercised by the holder notifying the Company in writing that the put option is being exercised in accordance with procedures specified by the Committee.

 

  D. The price at which a put option will be exercisable is the value of the security, as determined under Article VIII.

 

  E. In the event of exercise of a put option pursuant to this Section, the Company shall pay the stockholder installments that satisfy the regulations under Code Section 4975, or at the Company’s discretion, in a single lump sum.

 

  F. The Plan shall not be obligated at any time to purchase Company Stock under a put option exercisable under this Section. Furthermore, the Plan shall not otherwise obligate itself to acquire securities from a particular security holder at an indefinite time determined upon the happening of an event such as the death of the holder.

ARTICLE XII—BENEFICIARIES AND GUARDIANS

 

1. Beneficiary Designation.

 

  A. Payment to Beneficiary.

Subject to Paragraph B of this Section, upon the death of a Participant or Beneficiary prior to the Valuation Date upon which complete distribution of his entire account under the Plan occurs, the remaining full balance of his account shall be payable to his designated Beneficiary, pursuant to the terms of Article XI.

 

  B. Designation or Change of Beneficiary.

Subject to the requirements of this Paragraph, the Participant or Beneficiary (who is a natural person) shall have the right to designate the Beneficiary to receive the death benefits to which he is entitled hereunder, and to change any such designation in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator. Except as provided in Paragraph D, the last written beneficiary designation approved by the Plan Benefits Administrator shall be controlling over any prior designation and over any testamentary or other disposition. A Beneficiary may be a natural person or other legal entity, such as a trust, estate, or corporation. Beneficiary designations that specify conditions that must be met for the designation to be effective shall not be acceptable under the Plan unless reviewed and approved by the Plan Benefits Administrator; provided however, that a designation specifying the condition that a Beneficiary be in existence as of the date of death of the Participant or Beneficiary, shall be acceptable if otherwise meeting the requirements of the Plan. Except as provided in this Paragraph, a Participant or Beneficiary (who is a natural person) may change his designation of a Beneficiary without the consent of any Beneficiary he has previously designated.

Each Participant or Beneficiary (who is a natural person) may designate a primary Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, and a contingent Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive distributions due upon the person’s death. The contingent Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will become entitled to receive distributions only if all primary Beneficiaries have predeceased the Participant or Beneficiary.

Each such designation shall be evidenced on a form that has been approved and filed with the Plan Benefits Administrator, signed by the Participant or Beneficiary making the designation (who is a natural person), and containing such information as is required by the Plan Benefits Administrator. Such information shall include:

 

  (1) For a married Participant who wishes to designate a non-spouse Beneficiary an irrevocable written consent from the current spouse, witnessed by a notary public (or a Plan representative as determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator), acknowledging the effect of the designation, provided further, such designation shall name a specific Beneficiary including any class of Beneficiaries or any contingent Beneficiaries, which shall not be changed without the consent of the spouse. Such election shall be effective only with respect to the spouse consenting to the election. The Participant may revoke the designation of a non-spouse Beneficiary without the consent of the spouse at any time prior to the commencement of benefits; or

 

46


  (2) For a non-married Participant—a written certification, that he is not married on the date of his designation; provided, however that such designation shall become void and of no effect upon the marriage of the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a married Participant’s surviving spouse at the date of death, shall be entitled to the death benefit, unless such surviving spouse shall have consented to a non-spouse Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph (1).

A Beneficiary designation shall take effect upon receipt in good order and approval by the Plan Benefits Administrator, but without prejudice to the Plan, Company, Trustees, Plan Benefits Administrator, Committee or any fiduciary on account of any payment made before receipt and approval thereof.

 

  C. Absence of Beneficiary Designation.

If no effective Beneficiary designation is on file with the Plan Benefits Administrator at the time payment of the death benefit is to be made, then:

 

  (1) For a Participant: his surviving spouse, surviving natural or legally adopted children in equal shares, or the estate of the Participant, in that order of priority, shall be conclusively deemed to be the Beneficiary designated to receive such benefits; or

 

  (2) For a Beneficiary: the estate of the Beneficiary shall be conclusively deemed to be the Beneficiary designated to receive such benefit.

Any payment to such Beneficiary shall constitute a full release and discharge to the Plan, the Company, the Committee, the Trustees, the Plan Benefits Administrator and any fiduciary.

 

  D. Beneficiary Designation-Effect of Divorce.

If a decree of divorce, legal dissolution or annulment of marriage is entered after a Participant or Beneficiary has designated his spouse as a Beneficiary and the Participant or Beneficiary dies prior to redesignating, modifying or changing such designation with respect to such former spouse as provided by the Plan, then such designation, in favor of such former spouse shall be automatically revoked and become ineffective on and after the date the marriage ends; provided the Plan Benefits Administrator has received notice of such decree of divorce, legal dissolution or annulment of marriage. The automatic revocation of the former spouse’s designation shall cause the account to be distributed as if such spouse had predeceased the Participant or Beneficiary.

Subject to Section 12 of Article XIX, in the event benefits are distributed to the former spouse as a named Beneficiary subsequent to divorce from the Participant or Beneficiary, but prior to (1) the Participant or Beneficiary redesignating the former spouse as a Beneficiary, and (2) the Company, Committee, Trustees or any fiduciary being on notice of such divorce, such distribution shall be, without prejudice to Phillips 66, the Company, Committee, Trustees or Plan fiduciaries. These provisions shall not apply to any benefits that have not been distributed if the decree of divorce, legal dissolution or annulment is vacated.

 

47


  E. Alternate payees shall have the same rights as Beneficiaries under this Section.

 

2. Minors and Those Declared Incompetent.

Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the Plan Benefits Administrator receives written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to him, that the person is incompetent or a minor. In the event that a payment is due under the Plan to a person who is either a minor or legally declared incompetent, the Plan Benefits Administrator, upon receipt of acceptable evidence of appointment and continuing qualification, may authorize payment to be made to a conservator, guardian, custodian under a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or other individual legally charged with the management of the estate of the minor or legally incompetent person. In the absence of such a duly appointed representative, the Plan Benefits Administrator may, in his sole discretion, authorize payment to be made to any other person or entity reasonably determined to be responsible for the estate of the person to whom the benefits are due. Any amount paid under this Section will completely discharge the Plan, Phillips 66, the Company, the Committee, the Trustees, the Plan Benefits Administrator or any fiduciary of any liability on account of the payment so made.

 

3. Tax Qualified Disclaimers.

In the event that a Beneficiary signs and delivers to the Plan Benefits Administrator a written disclaimer of Plan benefits which satisfies the Code’s requirements to be tax qualified, and such benefits, but for the disclaimer, would otherwise pass to such person as a result of the death of a Participant or Beneficiary, the person executing such disclaimer of benefits shall be deemed to have failed to survive the deceased Participant or Beneficiary from whom he otherwise would have taken. For such disclaimer to be considered effective for purposes of the Plan, the disclaimer must be received by the Plan Benefits Administrator prior to the earlier of the date which is nine months after the death of the Participant or Beneficiary, or the date on which such person has requested any Plan transaction involving such Plan benefits. In the event that Plan benefits are distributed to the Beneficiary pursuant to the other terms of the Plan and prior to the receipt of such disclaimer, such distribution shall completely release and relieve the Plan, Phillips 66, the Company, the Trustees, the Committee, the Plan Benefits Administrator or any other Plan fiduciary on account of and to the extent of any payment made before receipt of the disclaimer.

 

4. Trust and Trustees.

In the event that a trust, a testamentary trust or a trustee of a trust is designated as a Beneficiary, then upon the death of the Participant or Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary trust, or the trust under which the designated Beneficiary trustee is named shall be presumed to be a valid trust properly established and authorized under the law for the purpose of managing and receiving payments as a Beneficiary under the Plan, and neither the Plan nor any of its fiduciaries shall have any obligation to determine otherwise. Any amount paid under this Paragraph to a trust or trustee Beneficiary will completely discharge the Plan, Phillips 66, the Company, the Committee, the Trustees, the Plan Benefits Administrator and any fiduciary of any liability on account of the payment so made.

 

48


ARTICLE XIII—VOTING OF STOCK AND DISPOSITION OF STOCK PURSUANT TO TENDER OFFERS OR EXCHANGE OFFERS

Each Participant and Voting Beneficiary shall have the authority and shall be afforded the opportunity to direct the Trustees as to how to vote, or how to respond to any Offer for, all Plan Stock credited to his account under the Plan. In the event of an Offer for Company Stock, the Trustees are authorized in accordance with this Article to dispose of Financed Shares pledged or otherwise encumbered to secure repayment of an Acquisition Loan from a lender only to the extent such disposition is permitted by or pursuant to the documents by which such Financed Shares are so pledged or encumbered. It is intended that the Trustees’ functions and responsibilities as to voting and Offers for Plan Stock shall be custodial and ministerial only. The Trustees are directed to comply with the terms of this Article conferring on Participants and Voting Beneficiaries the exclusive authority to direct the Trustees as to how to vote Plan Stock and how to respond to an Offer for Plan Stock.

In addition, Phillips 66 shall deliver to the Trustees any proxy or consent solicitation materials Phillips 66 may have prepared. If proxies or consents are solicited by any person other than the Phillips 66 board of directors, the Trustees shall request copies of materials prepared by such person regarding any contested matter under consideration.

If an independent record-keeping agent is retained, such agent must agree, as a condition of its retention by Phillips 66 or the Trustees, not to disclose the composition of any affected Participant or Beneficiary account to the Company, Phillips 66, its officers, directors, employees, or representatives; provided, that at such time as the Trustees shall determine that such record-keeping duties may be returned to Phillips 66 without breaching the confidentiality of a Participant’s or Voting Beneficiary’s directions as to such Offer, then the record-keeping duties may be returned to Phillips 66, but in no event shall this return be sooner than one year after such sale, exchange or transfer.

 

51


13. Neutrality of Committee and Trustees.

Neither the Committee, Plan Benefits Administrator nor the Trustees shall express any opinion or give any advice or recommendation to any Participant or Voting Beneficiary concerning matters subject to vote or consent or concerning an Offer, nor shall they have any authority or responsibility to do so.

 

14. Indemnity.

The Company and Phillips 66 acknowledge and agree to honor the confidentiality of voting and Offer directions to the Trustees. If either the Company or Phillips 66, by its own act or omission, breaches the confidentiality of such directions, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustees against and from all liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, the Trustees may incur as a result thereof.

In the event that the Plan Benefits Administrator determines that an extension of time is required for non-disability claims, the claimant will receive written notice of the extension prior to expiration of the initial 90 day determination period (45 day determination period for disability claims) indicating the special circumstances that require the extension and the date by which the Plan Benefits Administrator expects to render a determination. The Plan Benefits Administrator may extend the initial determination period for disability claims up to 30 days, and then for an additional 30 days provided the claimant is properly notified of the extension.

Any person filing an appeal of the denial of a claim by the Plan Benefits Administrator must do so in writing within 60 days after receipt of written notice of the denial (180 days for disability claims).

The Committee shall render a decision regarding the claim within 60 days after receipt of a request for review (45 days for disability claims), unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review (90 days for disability claims). In the event

 

62


that the Committee determines that an extension of time is required, the claimant will receive written notice of the extension prior to expiration of the initial 60 day determination period (45 day determination period for disability claims) indicating the special circumstances that require the extension and the date by which the Committee expects to render a determination. The Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial claim determination. The decision shall be in writing and shall set forth specific reason(s) for the conclusion(s) as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

Transfers from other plans shall be allowed only if the benefits transferred are not subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code Section 417.

 

  B. An Employee, Participant or former Participant who provides evidence satisfactory to the Plan Benefits Administrator of such prior participation who has received a distribution of all or a portion of his interest in a plan (Other Plan) meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code or an Individual Retirement Account under Section 408 of the Code, may in accordance with procedures approved by the Plan Benefits Administrator, rollover in cash all or a portion of the distribution received from the Other Plan to this Plan provided the following conditions are met:

 

  (1) The rollover occurs on or before the 60th day after the Participant receives the distribution from the Other Plan;

 

  (2) The distribution from the Other Plan qualifies as an eligible rollover distribution within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code;

 

  (3) The amount rolled over does not exceed the maximum amount which may be rolled over in accordance with Section 402(c)(4) of the Code;

 

  (4) The amount rolled over does not include any loans taken from the previous employer’s plan;

 

  (5) Any non-taxable portion of the distribution from a Code Section 401(a) plan is identified so that it can be accounted for separately in this Plan; and

 

  (6) Non-taxable funds cannot be rolled over from an IRA.

Provided however, any individual may make an otherwise eligible rollover into this Plan in accordance with procedures approved by the Plan Benefits Administrator from any Other Plan sponsored by the Employer, provided the above conditions are met.

All accounts in the CAP other than the Contribution In Lieu of Pension (CILP) accounts and Pension Equity Retirement Contribution (PERC) accounts of Participants in the CAP who also have benefits under the Tosco Pension Plan (TPP) were transferred to the LTSSP at such time. Immediately following the merger, the LTSSP was renamed the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan.

  C. As of the time of each merger, the sum of the account balances in the merging plans immediately prior to the merger shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value (determined as of the time of the merger) of the entire assets of this Plan immediately following the merger. It is intended that the mergers of the plans comply with the requirements of Code Section 414(l).

 

64


  D. In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan (other than the merger described in Paragraphs A, B, and C) with, or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of the Plan and related Trust Fund to, any other plan of deferred compensation maintained or to be established for the benefit of all or some of the Participants or Beneficiaries of this Plan, the assets of the Plan and related Trust Fund applicable to such Participants or Beneficiaries shall be transferred to the other plan provided each Participant or Beneficiary shall (if either this Plan or the other plan were to terminate) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if this Plan had then terminated.

 

12. Errors and Misstatements.

If an inadvertent error by the Committee, any other fiduciary or a person acting for the Committee or the Plan, or their agents or representatives shall occur with respect to the benefits of any Participant or Beneficiary, or the calculation of Deposits or Contributions, or any other action or circumstance incident to the administration of the Plan, or if in a Participant’s application or claim for a benefit hereunder, or in his statement to make any direction or election hereunder, or in response to any request of the Committee, the Plan Benefits Administrator, the Company or the Trustees, for information, any Participant or Beneficiary makes any statement which is erroneous or fails to state any material fact, an adjustment shall be made in an equitable manner to conform to the facts. Such adjustment may include, where appropriate, and without limitation, the requirement that a Participant or Beneficiary return to the Plan any payment or distribution to him as a result of inadvertent error by the Committee, any other fiduciary or a person acting for the Committee or the Plan or their agents or representatives.

These payments will be credited to the Borrower’s account as soon as administratively practicable following receipt by the Trustees.

 

68


  I. Level Amortization and Repayment. Amortization of all loans shall be level and all required repayments shall be computed based upon the applicable pay frequency.

 

  (1) Payments Required. All repayments of principal and interest shall be required as determined by Plan Benefits Administrator based on the Borrower’s applicable pay frequency. An employee of the Employer who is on unpaid leave other than military leave and has elected to repay by cashier’s check, certified check or money order payable to the Trustees must submit the payment by the 12th of the month.

 

  (2) Full Prepayment. A Borrower may elect to make full repayment of any outstanding principal and interest at any time.

 

  (a) An employee of the Employer must submit a cashier’s check, certified check or money order payable to the Trustees and will be applied as soon as administratively practicable after receipt by the Trustees.

 

  (b) A Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer and has not defaulted on the loan(s) must submit a cashier’s check, certified check or money order payable to the Trustees and will be applied as soon as administratively practicable after receipt by the Trustees.

 

  (c) A Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer and making repayment by electronic debit must submit a cashier’s check, certified check or money order payable to the Trustees and will be applied as soon as administratively practicable after receipt by the Trustees.

Full prepayment shall be required within 60 days of Termination From Employment with the Employer absent an electronic debit election. Prepayment due to the death of the Borrower can only be made by the estate or designated beneficiary of the Borrower. Such payment shall be made as directed by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

 

  (3) Missed or Late Payments.

 

  (a)

If for any reason a Borrower’s irrevocable payroll deductions fail to cause the required payment to be received by the Trustees when due, the Borrower shall make such payment by submitting that amount by the 60th day from the missed loan payment (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter but before the loan is defaulted). Such payment shall be made as directed by the Plan Benefits Administrator. A Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer is not eligible to make late payments under this Subparagraph.

 

  (b) In the case of a Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer who elects to continue making loan payments pursuant to Paragraph H of this Section, any delinquent payments on such loans which occur prior to commencement of electronic debit payments will be paid over the remaining term of the loan by adjusting the future loan repayment amount to include such payments.

 

69


  (4) Partial Prepayment Required. In the event the outstanding balance of loans of a Borrower exceeds for any reason at any time the maximum amount permitted by the Plan or by the Code, the Borrower shall make a partial prepayment to bring such outstanding balance within allowable limits.

 

  J. Fees. The Borrower will be charged an origination fee which shall be deducted from the proceeds of the loan paid to the Borrower and a maintenance fee deducted from the Borrower’s account each July, starting with the calendar year after the loan is made, during the term of the loan. The Borrower shall be informed of the amount of the fee upon request. The annual fee will be deducted pro rata from all Investment Funds in which the Participant has a balance. Such fees shall be in a reasonable amount determined by the Plan Benefits Administrator and shall be applied in a nondiscriminatory manner. Outstanding loans transferred from the Conoco Thrift Plan will not be subject to the maintenance fee.

 

5. Interest Rate.

The stated interest rate for all loans shall be the national prime rate as of the last Valuation Date of each month to be effective starting the first Valuation Date of the next month and is fixed for the term of the loan on the Valuation Date the loan is made.

 

6. Security and Loan Subaccounts.

For all loans, the Borrower shall provide security by an irrevocable promise to repay the loan through payroll deductions or electronic debit, and the pledge of a portion of the Borrower’s “Loan Subaccount”. The portion of the Borrower’s Loan Subaccount pledged shall not exceed fifty percent of the Borrower’s interest in the account designated by the Borrower for the loan upon the origination of the loan. The Loan Subaccount shall consist of the Shares of the Borrower’s subaccounts used to provide the source of the loan proceeds as provided in Section 4.E. of this Article, and each Share shall retain its identity as part of those subaccounts. The Loan Subaccount shall be considered a fixed income Investment Fund held as an individual subaccount of the Borrower over which such Borrower has exercised investment control. After distribution of loan proceeds from the Borrower’s account, no withdrawals shall be allowed from the Loan Subaccount.

 

7. Loan Repayments.

Loan repayments will be applied pro rata by source and the current Share value pro rata to all Investment Funds for the Borrower’s current investment allocation election. The interest paid as part of the loan repayments will be applied to the Borrower’s account pro-rata across the sources from which the loan was taken and will be applied at the current Share value pro-rata to all Investment Funds for the Borrower’s current investment allocation election. If the Borrower has no current investment allocation election, the loan repayments will be repaid to a qualified default investment alternative as designated by the Plan Benefits Administrator.

8. Default and Reclassification.

 

  A. Such delinquency shall not exceed, for an employee of the Employer, the period allowed for late payment pursuant to Section 4.I. of this Article, and for a terminated employee, a period of 60 days (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter) following Termination From Employment with the Employer. A Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer, and who has elected not to make electronic debit payments, or a Borrower’s estate may waive any remaining delinquency period in the manner prescribed by the Plan Benefits Administrator. Following such delinquency periods, the loan shall be in default.

 

  (1) Following commencement of payments through electronic debit by a Borrower who is not an employee of the Employer, any missed payment (including, rejection of the electronic debit because of insufficient funds in the account to make the full payment) will result in an immediate default of the loan and a reclassification as a distribution of the outstanding loan balance from the Plan will be made as soon as administratively practicable.

 

  (2)

Following commencement of payments through electronic debit by a Borrower who is an Employee on leave other than military leave, any missed payment (including rejection of the electronic debit due to insufficient funds in the account to make the full payment) will result in default on the 60th day after the missed loan payment (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter) and a reclassification as a withdrawal or a deemed distribution of the outstanding loan balance from the Plan and will be made as soon as administratively practicable.

Upon default, or upon the discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to repay the loan through bankruptcy or any other legal process or action which does not result in actual repayment in full, the entire principal balance which was not actually paid in full shall be reclassified as a withdrawal or deemed to be a distribution of the outstanding loan balance from the Plan and will be made as soon as administratively practicable.

 

  B. Reclassification. A defaulted loan which consists entirely of amounts that are eligible for withdrawal shall be reclassified as a withdrawal. In addition, a Borrower whose loan consists entirely of amounts that are eligible for withdrawal may request that the loan be reclassified as a withdrawal. In the event a defaulted loan is reclassified, an offset distribution shall be made from the Borrower’s account equal to the amount of the unpaid loan balance.

 

  C. Deemed Distribution. A defaulted loan that cannot be reclassified:

 

  (1) Shall be considered a deemed distribution to the Borrower and shall not be an “Eligible Rollover Distribution” pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.A.(2) of Article XI;

 

  (2) Shall continue to encumber the pledged portion of the Borrower’s Loan Subaccount until such time as distribution of his Loan Subaccount would be permissible to the Borrower under Article XI of the Plan, and when distribution is permissible shall be charged against the Borrower’s Loan Subaccount; and

 

71


  (3) Shall be deducted, when a distribution is permissible, from the amount due the Borrower or Borrower’s Beneficiary.

 

9. Suspension of Loan Payments for Military Leave.

Loans may be suspended for the period of time a Borrower is on a military leave of absence for which full Pay is not received. If the loan is suspended, the original loan payoff date can be increased by the same amount of time the Borrower is on military leave. Loan payments must resume once military service is completed. The interest rate on a loan for the time that a Borrower is on a military leave of absence shall not exceed six percent.

 

10. Special Provisions For Participant Loans By Certain Employees Of Duke Energy Field Services.

With respect to the Duke Energy Field Services (DEFS) joint venture, Borrowers, with outstanding loans, taken prior to the joint venture who continued employment with DEFS, are allowed to continue making payments on any outstanding loans by irrevocable payroll deductions.

ARTICLE XXII – SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR FORMER PARTICIPANTS IN THE TOSCO CORPORATION CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN

 

1. Special Provisions Control.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Article XXII will apply to Participants in the Tosco Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP), who did not have a benefit under the Tosco Pension Plan (TPP), and transferred CILP Contributions, Source XXA, into the Plan on December 31, 2002 , which, pursuant to a one-time election effective as of July 1, 2002, the Participant either (a) continued to receive CILP Contributions, or (b) based on an election to receive a Cash Balance Account, stopped receiving CILP Contributions as of June 31, 2002.

 

2. CILP Contributions.

In addition to any Contributions to the Thrift Feature and the Stock Savings Feature, each Plan Year the Company shall contribute on behalf of each Employee who was receiving a CILP Contribution under the CAP at the time his account in the CAP was transferred into this Plan which occurred as of the close of the Trustees’ business on December 31, 2002, (hereafter referred to as a “Covered Employee”), a CILP Contribution in an amount equal to five percent of his Compensation earned while an Employee prior to his Termination From Employment after becoming a Participant in this Plan. A rehired Covered Employee will not be eligible to receive a CILP Contribution after his Termination From Employment after December 31, 2002.

 

3. Investment Directions.

CILP Contributions shall be invested pro rata in the same Investment Funds as Contributions to the Thrift Feature for Covered Employees who are making Deposits to the Thrift Feature. Covered Employees who are not making Deposits to the Thrift Feature shall direct the investment of such Contributions in Investment Funds in the same manner as the investment of Deposits to the Thrift Feature is directed. If no investment election is made the CILP Contribution will be invested in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund.

 

4. Vesting and Restoration of Forfeitures.

Notwithstanding any provision in the CAP, a Covered Employee shall be vested in and have a nonforfeitable right to the portion of his Plan account which is attributable to CILP Contributions transferred to or received under this Plan. If a former employee participant of CAP who has forfeited CILP Contributions becomes a Participant in the Plan before he incurs five consecutive one-year “Periods of Severance” (as that term is defined in CAP), then any amount in his account which was forfeited shall be restored and shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable. If a Participant is entitled to a restoration of a forfeiture pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount to be restored shall be equal to the dollar amount in his account which was forfeited and shall be restored by allocating other forfeitures arising in the year of restoration to such Participant’s account to the extent thereof and an additional Contribution by the Company specifically allocated to such Participant’s account to the extent that allocable forfeitures are insufficient.

 

73


5. Transfer from Coverage Under the Plan.

With respect to any Covered Employee in the Plan who has been entitled to make a one-time election to participate in the cash balance provisions of Title II of the ConocoPhillips Retirement Plan and who chose to continue to be eligible to receive CILP Contributions under the CAP, who transfers to a category of employment with the Company or any member of the Employer which would not otherwise be covered under the Plan other than a transfer to a position classified on the Employer’s personnel system as a retail store or marketing outlet position, then such Covered Employee shall continue to be covered under the applicable CILP Contribution provisions of this Plan as described in this Article. For purposes of determining the amount of CILP Contributions for such a Covered Employee, the Compensation of such Covered Employee shall include the Compensation paid by the Company or other member of the Employer (including Compensation paid after such transfer); provided, however, that in the case of a Covered Employee who transfers from employment covered under the Plan and to whom this Section applies, for purposes of determining the amount of the CILP Contributions, as applicable, such Covered Employee’s Compensation shall continue to exclude any amounts earned after such transfer that would be excluded from the definition of Compensation applicable to the most recent category of such Covered Employee’s covered employment prior to such transfer.

 

6. Distributions and Loans.

CILP Contributions are not eligible for loans, but may be withdrawn upon a Participant’s Termination From Employment, subject to the provisions of Article XI; provided however, such Contributions shall not be eligible to be withdrawn under the provisions of Article X.
