LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PARTNERSHIP PLAN

As Amended and Restated December 31, 2021

PLAN DOCUMENT

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY COMPANY

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PARTNERSHIP PLAN

ARTICLE I – PURPOSE AND EFFECTIVE DATE

1.1Purpose. The purpose of this Long-Term Incentive Partnership Plan (the “Plan”) is to permit a select group of management employees of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and its subsidiaries to share in significant increases in the value of the Company realized through the efforts of these individuals. It is intended that the Plan, by providing this award and deferral opportunity (U.S. only), will assist the Company in retaining and attracting individuals of exceptional ability and will act as an incentive to align their interests with those of the Company. For purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, Incentive Accounts are considered to be part of a non-elective account balance plan type and Deferral Accounts are considered to be part of an elective account balance plan type.

1.2Effective Date. The Plan was first effective as of March 14, 2000, and was restated as of January 1, 2003, January 1, 2004, January 1, 2007, January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2019, with the current restated Plan effective December 31, 2021.

ARTICLE II – DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

2.1Base Salary. “Base Salary” means the annual base salary rate payable to a Participant effective January 1 (or the date of hire, if later) of the calendar year for a particular Award Year. For purposes of the Plan, Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for any amounts deferred by the Participant pursuant to the Company’s tax qualified plans which may be maintained under Section 401(k) or Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or pursuant to the Company’s Executive Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan or any other non-qualified plan which permits the voluntary deferral of compensation. Inclusion of any forms of compensation other than such “wages” and deferred “wages” is subject to approval of the President and CEO.

2.2Beneficiary. “Beneficiary” means the person, persons or entity, as designated by the Participant, entitled under Article VIII to receive any Plan benefits payable after the Participant’s death.

2.3Board. “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee.

2.4President and CEO. “President and CEO” shall mean the person serving in the role of President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company. The President and CEO may be a Participant in the Plan, as designated by the Chair. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and specifically and solely with respect to the participation of the President and CEO in the Plan, any action to be taken by, or authority invested in, the President and CEO with respect to Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be taken by or invested in the Chair.

2.4A.    Chair. “Chair” shall mean the person serving in the role of Chair of the Board of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company.

1

2.5Company. “Company” means Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and any directly or indirectly affiliated subsidiary entities, any other affiliate designated by the Board, or any predecessor or successor to the business of any thereof. However, with respect to all matters involving administration of the Plan, including the authority to amend and terminate the Plan, Company shall mean Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company. With respect to the obligation to make payments to any Participant under the Plan, Company shall mean solely Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company (except that, with respect to obligations to make payments that initially arose from Incentive Awards granted prior to the date hereof, Company included the Company who employed the Participant). For purposes of determining whether there has been a Separation from Service with the Company, Company means all entities with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Code Sections 414(b) and (c).

2.6Determination Date. “Determination Date” means every day of the year.

2.7Disability. “Disability” means a condition of a Participant who by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity; or (ii) is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under a long-term disability plan covering employees of the Company.

2.8Incentive Account(s). “Incentive Account(s)” means the account or accounts maintained on the books of the Company with respect to each Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award and used solely to calculate the amount which may be payable to each Participant under the Plan and shall not constitute a separate fund of assets. Participants may have more than one Incentive Account maintained on their behalf.

2.9Incentive Award(s). “Incentive Award(s)” means an award or awards determined and allocated under the terms of the Plan. Each Incentive Award(s) shall be designated by the year to which the award relates (the “Award Year”) even though the value of the award may be determined and credited to a Participant’s Incentive Account in a subsequent year. An example: The Year 2014 Incentive Award may relate to the performance of the Company over the calendar year 2014 (the Award Year), even though the Incentive Award will only be determinable in 2015.

2.10Interest. “Interest” means the amount credited to each Participant’s Incentive Account(s) on each Determination Date. The Company shall select investment funds or benchmarks (which shall be published indices, mutual funds or exchange traded funds which have ticker symbols, trade on an established exchange and can be valued on a daily basis) from which a Participant may direct the investment of their Incentive Account(s). Each Incentive Account may be invested independently from the Participant’s other Incentive Accounts. Investment elections by a Participant may be made only once per calendar year during a time period announced by the Company. Such time period will be communicated to Participants early in each calendar year. No investment election changes will be permitted until the investment election time period in the following calendar year. If a Participant fails to make an investment election during the applicable time period, the investment for the Incentive Account announced for the immediate prior calendar year will default to the most conservative investment fund as selected by the Company, and the investment of all other Incentive Accounts of the Participant, if any, shall be based on the Participant’s most recent investment election for those Incentive Accounts (and the default shall apply to all Incentive Awards if a Participant fails to make an investment election when the individual directed investment program is first implemented). Such credits to a Participant’s Incentive Account(s) may be either positive or negative to reflect the increase or decrease in value of the Incentive Account(s) in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. The Incentive Awards, Matching Incentive Awards and any Interest credited to the Incentive Account(s) of a Participant are bookkeeping entries only and the Participant shall not have any right to distribution of or ownership interest in any investment vehicle chosen for the crediting of Interest to the Incentive Account(s).

Each Matching Incentive Award shall be designated by the year to which the award relates (the “Award Year”) and the seven (7) year-award cycle during which it is granted (2021-2027, 2026-2032 and 2031-2037) (“Award Cycle”) even though the value of the award may be determined and credited to a Participant’s Incentive Account in a subsequent year.

2.12Net Income. “Net Income” means the definition as applied under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The President and CEO may adjust Net Income for extraordinary and non-recurring events, when appropriate.

2.13Participant. “Participant” means any employee who is eligible, pursuant to Article III, below, to participate in this Plan, and who has been so notified by the President and CEO. Such employee shall remain a Participant in this Plan for any award that has been made until such time as all benefits payable for that specific Award Year have been paid in accordance with the provisions hereof. A Participant may have an Incentive Account(s) or a Deferred Account and not be chosen to participate in a subsequent Award Year.

2.14Plan. “Plan” means this Long-Term Incentive Partnership Plan as amended or restated from time to time.

2.15Retirement and Retirement Age. “Retirement” means termination of employment with the Company after attaining age fifty-five (55) and “Retirement Age” means age fifty-five (55).

2.16Separation from Service. “Separation from Service” or “Separates from Service” means a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or as otherwise defined in Applicable Guidance (see Section 7.1(a)).

2.17Vest or Vested. “Vest” or “Vested” means deferred compensation which is not subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture (as defined in Applicable Guidance) or to a requirement to perform further services for the Employer.

ARTICLE IV – AWARDS

4.1Annual Award. Prior to or during each Award Year, the President and CEO shall determine whether an Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award shall be available for such Award Year. If an Incentive Award is made available, the President and CEO will establish the award categories based upon Net Income target goals and/or such other criteria, as the President and CEO deems appropriate for the Award Year (including, but not limited to customer satisfaction, operational excellence, financial, safety, environmental, regulatory integrity, and risk management goals, and any individual goals specified for a particular Participant). If a Matching Incentive Award is made available, the President and CEO will determine the award in their discretion on such criteria as the President and CEO deems appropriate for the Award Year or Award Cycle (including, but not limited to an annual award granted to the Participant under a long-term incentive plan sponsored by an affiliate).

4.2Allocation of Award. The President and CEO shall determine the amount of the Incentive Award for which each Participant shall be eligible for the Award Year (if the established goals are met for an Award Year), usually expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary or the amount of the Matching Incentive Award for which each Participant shall be eligible for the Award Year.

4.3Determination of Annual Awards. The value of any Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award shall be determined by the President and CEO as soon as practical after the close of the Award Year, but in no event shall the value of the Award be determined later than March 1st of the year following the Award Year.

4.4Reduction of Awards. The President and CEO may, in their sole discretion, establish certain criteria that must be met for an Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award to be awarded in full. With respect to an Incentive Award, these criteria may include the achievement of certain customer satisfaction, operational excellence, financial, safety, environmental, regulatory integrity or risk management goals or other goals (whether Company or individual) established by the President and CEO. The determination of whether any applicable goals have been achieved with respect to an Incentive Award shall be determined by the President and CEO, as of the time that the dollar value of that Incentive Award is determined in Section 4.3 above. If any such goal is not met, the President and CEO may reduce the Incentive Award by an amount as the President and CEO determines in their sole discretion. With respect to a Matching Incentive Award, the President and CEO may determine in their sole discretion whether to require any criteria be met for such award to be awarded in full.

In addition, with respect to an individual Participant and a particular Award Year, the President and CEO may determine that the Participant will not receive an Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award for such Award Year regardless of whether the Participant has received an Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award in a prior Award Year or made a deferral election for such Award Year.

ARTICLE V – INCENTIVE ACCOUNT(S)

5.1Accounts. The Company shall maintain a separate bookkeeping account on behalf of each Participant in the Plan for each Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award. The value of any Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award allocated to each Participant plus any Interest earned thereon shall be added to such Participant’s Incentive Account for the applicable Award Year. Any distribution attributable to an Incentive Account shall reduce the Incentive Account as of the date of distribution. These Incentive Accounts shall be used solely to calculate the amount payable to each Participant under the Plan and shall not constitute a separate fund of assets.

4

5.2Timing of Credits. The value of a Participant’s Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award for an Award Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Incentive Account for such Award Year as of the day determined by the President and CEO, but in no event shall the date be later than March 1st of the year following the Award Year. Each Incentive Account shall be increased or decreased by the Interest credited on each Determination Date as though the balance of that Incentive Account as of the date the Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award is credited to a Participant’s Incentive Account had been invested as provided in Section 2.10. Any distributions to a Participant shall reduce the Participant’s Incentive Account(s) as of the date of such distribution.

5.3Vesting of Accounts.

Incentive Awards. Each Participant shall be twenty-five percent (25%) Vested in such Participant’s Incentive Awards in their Incentive Account on December 31st of the Award Year and an additional twenty-five percent (25%) on December 31st of each subsequent year; provided however, for any Participant resident in Canada or that receives an Incentive Award in respect of employment in Canada, such Participant shall become Vested in the final 25% of their Incentive Awards in their Incentive Account on December 15th of the third year following the Award Year. Participants must be employed on December 31st (or December 15th in respect of a year in which Vesting occurs on December 15th) to Vest for the year. The President and CEO may accelerate Vesting (but not accelerate payment), or may establish criteria with respect to a Participant (in addition to the passage of time) before Vesting will occur with respect to any Incentive Award; provided, however, that any portion of an Incentive Award that has already Vested with the passage of time shall not be subject to any additional vesting criteria and provided further that no additional vesting criteria shall postpone the date of payment of the Incentive Award as provided under Section 6.1. The Participant shall be considered to be one hundred percent (100%) Vested in the event of termination of service as a result of a Disability or death.

Matching Incentive Awards. Each Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) Vested in their Matching Incentive Awards granted for each Award Year in an Award Cycle on December 31 of the last year of the Award Cycle. For example, Matching Incentive Awards granted in the 2021-2027 Award Cycle shall vest on December 31, 2027, Matching Incentive Awards granted in the 2026-2032 Award Cycle shall vest on December 31, 2032, and Matching Incentive Awards granted in the 2031-2037 Award Cycle shall vest on December 31, 2037. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant may receive multiple Matching Incentive Awards for an Award Year that falls in more than one Award Cycle and Vesting of each such award shall occur on December 31 of the last year in the Award Cycle to which it relates. Participants must be employed on such Vesting Date (December 31) to Vest for the year. The President and CEO may accelerate Vesting (but not accelerate payment), or may establish criteria with respect to a Participant (in addition to the passage of time) before Vesting will occur with respect to any Matching Incentive Award; provided, however, that any portion of a Matching Incentive Award that has already Vested with the passage of time shall not be subject to any additional vesting criteria and provided further that no additional vesting criteria shall postpone the date of payment of the Matching Incentive Award as provided under Section 6.1. The Participant shall be considered to be one hundred percent (100%) Vested in the event of termination of service as a result of a Disability or death.

5.4Statement of Accounts. The Company shall give to each Participant a statement showing the balances in the Participant’s Incentive Account(s) no less frequently than on an annual basis.

ARTICLE VI – PLAN BENEFITS

6.1Normal Benefit.The balance of each Participant’s Incentive Account(s) shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible following the end of the year in which the award becomes fully Vested, but in any event no later than two and one-half (2-½) months following the end of such year; provided, however, for the 2014 Award Year Incentive Awards, such payment timing shall be following the end of the fourth year following the Award Year. Unless deferred pursuant to Section 6.3 below, such amount shall be paid in a lump sum based upon the value of the Incentive Account as of December 31 immediately prior to the payment date (or the value as of the immediately preceding business day prior to December 31 if December 31 is not a business day). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any Participant who is a resident of Canada or receives an Incentive Award in respect of employment in Canada, the balance of such Participant’s Incentive Account(s) shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible after December 15 of the third year following the Award Year in one lump sum based upon the value of the Incentive Account as of December 15 of that year (or the value as of the immediately preceding business day prior to December 15 if December 15 is not a business day), provided that in any event payment shall be made no later than December 31 of the third year following the Award Year, and no amount credited to the account of a Participant who is resident in Canada or receives an Incentive Award in respect of employment in Canada shall be deferrable pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3 below.

6.2Early Termination Benefit.With respect to Incentive Awards only, in the event that a Participant Separates from Service with the Company prior to the end of the third year following the end of an Award Year (or prior to the end of the fourth year following the end of the 2014 Award Year), the Participant shall receive the Vested portion of the Incentive Account(s) as of the most recent Determination Date preceding the date of payment, payable in a lump sum; provided, however, that if the Participant has a deferral election on file with respect to an Incentive Account pursuant to Article VII, and incurs a Separation from Service after reaching Retirement Age, payment of the Vested amount of any Incentive Account shall be governed by Article VII with respect to the deferral election made by the Participant. If paid in a lump sum, the amount shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible after the Separation from Service, but in no event later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the date of Separation from Service. In addition, the provisions of Section 7.2(A) shall apply to distributions under this Section 6.2.

6.3Deferred Benefit (U.S. only). With respect to any Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award, the Participant may elect, in a manner acceptable to the Company, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the value of the Incentive Account or Matching Incentive Award due under this Plan by filing an election to do so before the beginning of the Award Year relating to the Incentive Award or Matching Incentive Award to be deferred. Any deferral election filed after the start of an Award Year must meet the requirements of Section 7.4(B) (Changes to Payment Election).

a)The portion of the Incentive Account previously elected to be deferred shall be transferred as of the last day of the year in which it is fully Vested to a Deferred Account (or as soon as administratively feasible following Separation from Service if an appropriate deferral election has previously been made) and shall thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of Article VII herein (any portion not previously elected to be deferred shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1 above);

b)Such an election shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.4(A) and shall only permit the deferral of benefits otherwise payable under Section 6.1 above, and the limited circumstance set forth in Section 6.2 in the event of Retirement; and

6

c)Such an election shall completely satisfy and discharge all obligations on the part of the Company to the Participant (and the Participant’s Beneficiary) with respect to such Incentive Account, and the Participant’s (and Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights under the Plan with respect to such Incentive Account shall terminate and shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan dealing with Deferred Accounts.

An example: A Participant may elect to defer the receipt of their 2015 Incentive Award by filing an election to do so prior to December 31, 2014. If such election is in a form acceptable to the Company, the balance of the Vested portion of the 2015 Incentive Account as of December 31, 2018, shall be transferred to a Deferred Account for the Participant as of that date.

6.4Death Benefit. In the event of the death of a Participant prior to payment of any Incentive Account(s), the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the value of the Incentive Account(s) determined as of the date of death. Such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible after the death of the Participant, but in no event later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the date of the Participant’s death.

6.5Withholding and Payroll Taxes. The Company that employs the Participant at the time of payment shall withhold from any payment made pursuant to the Plan, from an Incentive Account, any taxes required to be withheld from such payments under law. A Beneficiary, however, may elect not to have withholding of federal income tax pursuant to Section 3405(a)(2) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto (U.S. only). If FICA/Medicare taxes are due with respect to all or a portion of an Incentive Account prior to payment from the account, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the Participant’s share of such taxes, which may include withholding of such taxes from other regular pay of the Participant.

6.6Payment to Guardian. If a Plan benefit is payable to a minor, a person declared incompetent or a person incapable of handling the disposition of the property, the Company may direct payment to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor or person. The Company may require proof of incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.

6.7Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under this Article VI shall completely discharge all obligations on the part of the Company to the Participant (and the Participant’s Beneficiary) with respect to the Incentive Account(s), and the Participant’s (and Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights under the Plan with respect to the Incentive Account(s) shall terminate.

ARTICLE VII – DEFERRED BENEFIT

7.1Definitions. For the purposes of this Article VII, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

a)    “Applicable Guidance” means Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Code §409A or other written Treasury or IRS guidance regarding Code §409A.

b)    “Deferred Account” means the account established under the Plan for each Participant who elects to defer receipt of benefits under Section 6.3. A Deferred Account shall consist of subaccounts as selected by the Participant, which may be a Retirement Account and an In-Service Account. The Deferred Account is 100% Vested.

c)    “Earnings” means the notional earnings, gains and losses applicable to a Participant’s Deferred Account as described in Section 7.7.

7

d)    “Separation From Service” means a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or as otherwise defined in Applicable Guidance.

e)    “Specified Employee” means a Participant who is described in Code §416(i), disregarding paragraph (5) thereof. However, a Participant is not a Specified Employee unless any stock of the Company (or of a member of the same group of controlled entities as Company) is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.

f)    “Specified Time or Pursuant to a Fixed Schedule” means a specific time or schedule (but not the occurrence of an event) as a Participant payment election may specify, and otherwise as described in Applicable Guidance.

g)    “Unforeseeable Emergency” means: (i) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code §152(a)) of the Participant; (ii) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. The amount of the distribution may not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency plus taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the hardship may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent that liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.

7.2Separation from Service or Death. The Company will pay to the Participant the balance held in the Participant’s Deferred Account following the earlier of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. Payment will commence at the time and payment will be made in the form and method specified under Section 7.4. In the event of the Participant’s death, the Plan will pay to the Participant’s Beneficiary the Participant’s Deferred Account balance or any remaining amount thereof if benefits to the Participant already have commenced, in accordance with the Participant’s election.

(A)    Distribution to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in a Participant payment election, the Company may not distribute to a Specified Employee, based on Separation from Service, earlier than six (6) months following Separation from Service (or if earlier, upon the Specified Employee’s death).

7.3Other Payment Events. In addition to the payment events under Section 7.2, the Company will pay to a Participant all or any part of the Participant’s Deferred Account: (i) at a Specified Time or Pursuant to a Fixed Schedule elected by the Participant with respect to an In-Service subaccount; or (ii) based upon an Unforeseeable Emergency. Payment will commence at the time and payment will be made in the form and method specified under Section 7.4.

8

7.4Form, Timing and Method/Payment Election. All distributions will be in cash. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, a Participantshall make an initial payment election as to the method of payment under Section 7.4(A) and may make a change to an election under Section 7.4(B). If no election to defer payment of an Award has been made by the deadline as set forth in Section 6.3, the timing and method of payment for an Award as set forth in Section 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4 shall be deemed to be the Participant’s initial deferral election for purposes of a change to an election under Section 7.4(B). Until the Company completely distributes a Participant’s Deferred Account, the Plan will continue to credit the Participant’s Deferred Account with Earnings, in accordance with Section 7.7. Except as provided below, a Participant may elect either a lump sum payment or substantially equal annual installments (not to exceed 10) with respect to a Retirement subaccount and an In-Service subaccount. If no election is made as to method, payment shall be made in a lump sum. If no election is made with respect to an In-Service subaccount as to a specified time to begin payments, the date of the regularly scheduled payment for an Incentive Account shall be deemed to be the date to begin payments. Distributions from a Retirement subaccount as a result of Separation from Service after Retirement Age shall be made (or commence) in January following the calendar year in which Separation from Service occurs. Except as provided below, payments from an In-Service subaccount shall commence as soon as administratively feasible following the date selected by the Participant. If Separation from Service occurs after Retirement Age and before commencement of distribution from an In-Service subaccount, the In-Service subaccount shall be added to the Retirement subaccount and distributed accordingly. Distributions from an In-Service subaccount or a Retirement subaccount, when a Separation from Service occurs prior to Retirement Age (including death prior to Retirement Age), shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the date of Separation from Service (or death) and shall be made in a lump sum payment (except that payments from the remaining account balance in an In-Service subaccount, where payments have already commenced prior to Separation from Service, shall continue to be made under the schedule then in effect). Payments made because of Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made (or commence) as soon as administratively feasible following such event. In the event of death after attaining Retirement Age or after payments from a Deferred Account have begun, a lump sum payment to the Beneficiary shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after date of death if the Participant had previously elected a lump sum distribution to the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 7.4(A) (initial payment election) or pursuant to Section 7.4(B)(1) (change to payment election). Disability shall not be treated as a distribution event if Separation from Service has not occurred.

(A)    Initial Payment Election. A Participant, as to an In-Service subaccount shall make an initial payment election with respect to a Specified Time or Pursuant to a Fixed Schedule at the time of the Participant’s first deferred benefit election into such subaccount. As to a Retirement subaccount, a Participant shall make an initial payment election as to a method of payment (Fixed Schedule) at the time of a Participant’s first deferred benefit election into such subaccount (the Specified Time being a date following Separation of Service as provided in Section 7.4 above). A Participant shall make any permissible initial payment election on a form the Company provides for that purpose. At the time of any such first deferred benefit election into any subaccount in a Participant’s Deferred Account, a Participant may elect to have a lump sum payment made to their Beneficiary in lieu of the form of payment that otherwise has been selected for payout during the Participant’s life.

9

(B)    Changes to Payment Election. A Participant may change the Participant’s initial payment election (or change election) as to any subaccount in their Deferred Account, including any Plan default payment applicable in the absence of an election. Any such change election must comply with this Section 7.4(B). A Participant must make any change election on a form the Company provides for such purpose.

(1)    Conditions on Changes to Payment Elections. Any Participant change election: (i) may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months following the date of the change election; (ii) must result in the first payment under the change election being made not earlier than five (5) years following the date upon which the originally-elected payment would have been made (except if payment is on account of death, or Unforeseeable Emergency); and (iii) if the change election relates to a Participant’s previous election of a Specified Time or Pursuant to a Fixed Schedule, the Participant must make the change election not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the election being changed (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, twelve (12) months prior to the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

(2)    Definition of “Payment.” Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4(B)(3), a “payment” for purposes of applying Section 7.4(B)(1) is each separately identified amount the Company is obligated to pay to a Participant on a determinable date and includes amounts paid for the benefit of the Participant. An amount is “separately identified” only if the Company can objectively determine the amount.

(3)    Installment Payments. As set forth in Applicable Guidance, and for purposes of making a change to a payment election under this Section 7.4(B), a series of installment payments will be treated as a single payment. For purposes of this Section 7.4(B)(3), a “series of installment payments” means payment of a series of substantially equal periodic amounts to be paid over a predetermined number of years, except to the extent that any increase in the payment amounts reflects reasonable Earnings through the date of payment.

(4)    Coordination with Anti-Acceleration Rule. In applying Section 7.4(C), “payment” means as described in Sections 7.4(B)(2) and (3). A Participant under a change payment election may change the form of payment to a more rapid schedule (including a change from installments to a lump-sum payment) without violating Section 7.4(C), provided any such change remains subject to the change payment election provisions under this Section 7.4(B). Accordingly, if the Participant’s payment change election modifies the payment method from installments to a lump-sum payment, a payment change election must satisfy Section 7.4(B)(1) measured from the first installment payment. If a payment change election only modifies the timing of an installment payment, the payment change election must apply to each installment and must satisfy Section 7.4(B) measured from each installment payment.

(C)    No Acceleration. Neither the Company nor the Participant may accelerate the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan except as Applicable Guidance may permit. For this purpose, the following are not an acceleration: (i) a payment required under a domestic relations order under Code §414(p)(1)(B); (ii) a payment required under a certificate of divestiture under Code §1043(b)(2); or (iii) a payment to pay the FICA tax (and income tax withholding related to the FICA) on the deferred compensation.

(D)    Cash-Out Upon Separation. Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment election or any contrary Plan terms, the Company will distribute in a single cash payment the entire Deferred Account of a Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service where the Participant’s Deferred Account balance does not exceed $10,000. The Company will make any payment under this Section as soon as administratively feasible following Separation from Service.

7.5Withholding of Income Tax. The Company that employs the Participant at the time of payment or employed the Participant immediately prior to a Separation from Service (with the Company including such payment on a Form W-2 issued by the Company to the Participant) will withhold from any payment made under the Plan from a Deferred Account and from any amount taxable under Code §409A, all applicable taxes, and any and all other amounts required to be withheld under federal, state or local law, including Applicable Guidance.

7.6Administration of Payment Date(s). The Company may pay a Participant’s Deferred Account balance on any date that is administratively feasible following any Plan specified payment date or date of any authorized distribution event or the date specified in any valid payment election, but in no event later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following any such date; and provided further that the Participant shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment.

7.7Notional Earnings. The Company, under the Plan, periodically will credit Deferred Accounts with a determinable amount of notional Earnings (as a specified fixed or floating interest rate or other specified index or indices based on established and published financial investment benchmarks). The Participant has the right to direct the investment of the Participant’s Deferred Account pursuant to conditions established by the Company. This right is limited strictly to investment direction and the Participant will not be entitled to the distribution of any Deferred Account asset except as the Plan otherwise permits. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or trust, all Plan assets, including all incidents of ownership, at all times will be the sole property of the Company.

ARTICLE VIII – BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

8.1Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate one (1) or more persons or entities as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under the Plan shall be paid in the event of Participant’s death prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s Incentive Account(s) or Deferred Account balances. Each Beneficiary designation shall be in a written form prescribed by the Company and shall be effective only when filed with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

8.2Changing Beneficiary. Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant without the consent of the previously named Beneficiary by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with the Company. The filing of a new designation shall cancel all designations previously filed.

8.3Change in Marital Status. If the Participant’s marital status changes after the Participant has designated a Beneficiary, the following shall apply until such time as the Participant submits a revised Beneficiary form.

a)If the Participant is married at death but was unmarried when the designation was made, the designation shall be void.

b)If the Participant is unmarried at death but was married when the designation was made:

i)The designation shall be void if the former spouse was named as Beneficiary.

ii)The designation shall remain valid if the spouse was not named and a non-spouse Beneficiary was named.

11

c)If the Participant was married when the designation was made and is married to a different spouse at death:

i)The designation shall be void if the former spouse was named as Beneficiary.

ii)The designation shall remain valid if the former spouse was not named and a non-spouse Beneficiary was named.

8.4No Beneficiary Designation. If any Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary in the manner provided above, if the designation is void, or if the Beneficiary designated by a deceased Participant dies before the Participant or before complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor:

a)The Participant’s surviving spouse;

b)The Participant’s children (including stepchildren) in equal shares, except if any of the children predeceases the Participant but leaves surviving descendant, then such descendant shall take by right of representation the share the deceased child would have taken if living;

c)The Participant’s estate.

8.5Effect of Payment. Payment to Beneficiary or other proper legal representative of the Beneficiary shall completely discharge the Company’s obligations under the Plan and the Company may require a release to that effect from the Beneficiary or other proper legal representative of the Beneficiary prior to the distribution.

8.6Minor or Incompetent Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary is a minor or otherwise reasonably determined by the Employer to be legally incompetent, the Employer may cause the Plan to pay the Participant’s Vested Incentive Account(s) or Deferred Account balances to a guardian, trustee or other proper legal representative of the Beneficiary.

ARTICLE XI – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

11.1Amendment. The Company reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time to comply with Code §409A and Applicable Guidance or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not result in taxation to any Participant under Code §409A. Except as the Plan and Applicable Guidance otherwise may require, the Company may make any such amendments effective immediately.

11.2Termination. The Company, by action of the Board, may terminate, but is not required to terminate, the Plan and distribute Plan Accounts under the following circumstances:

(1) Dissolution/Bankruptcy. The Company may terminate the Plan within 12 months following a dissolution of a corporate Company taxable under Code §331 or with approval of a Bankruptcy court under 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the deferred compensation is paid to the Participants and is included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest calendar year: (i) in which the plan termination occurs; (ii) in which the amounts no longer are subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture; or (iii) in which the payment is administratively practicable.

(2) Change in Control. The Company may terminate the Plan within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (as defined in Applicable Guidance) provided the Company distributes all Plan Accounts (and must distribute the accounts under any substantially similar Company plan which plan the Company also must terminate) within twelve (12) months following the Plan termination.

(3) Other. The Company may terminate the Plan for any other reason in the Company’s discretion provided that: (i) the Company also terminates all aggregated plans in which any Participant also is a participant; (ii) the Company makes no payments under the Plan in the twelve (12) months following the Plan termination date other than payments the Company would have made under the Plan irrespective of Plan termination; (iii) the Company makes all payments within twenty-four (24) months following the Plan termination date; and (iv) the Company within three (3) years following the Plan termination date does not adopt a new plan covering any Participant that would be an aggregated plan.

ARTICLE XII – MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Unfunded Plan. To the extent the Plan is considered an “employee benefit pension plan” under Section 3(2) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) with respect to any Participant (because some or all of the payments with respect to a Participant under the Plan have been elected by the Participant to be made from a Retirement Account), the Plan, as to any such Participant, is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly-compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of the ERISA, and therefore is exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. Accordingly, the Board may terminate the Plan and make no further benefit payments or remove certain employees as Participants if it is determined by the United States Department of Labor, a court of competent jurisdiction, or an opinion of counsel that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (as currently in effect or hereafter amended) which is not so exempt.

12.2Company Obligation. The obligation to make benefit payments to any Participant under the Plan shall be an obligation solely of the Company.

12.3Unsecured General Creditor. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Participants and Participants’ Beneficiaries shall be unsecured general creditors, with no secured or preferential rights to any assets of the Company or any other party for payment of benefits under the Plan. Any property held by the Company for the purpose of generating the cash flow for benefit payments shall remain its general, unpledged and unrestricted assets. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

12.4Trust Fund. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits provided under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company may establish one (1) or more trusts for the purpose of assisting in the payment of such benefits. Although such a trust shall be irrevocable, its assets shall be held for payment of all the Company’s general creditors in the event of insolvency. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are paid from any such trust, the Company shall have no further obligation to pay them. If not paid from the trust, such benefits shall remain the obligation of the Company.

12.5Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt of the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable except only pursuant to the designated Beneficiary in the event of death or Disability or pursuant to a legal will or the laws of intestate succession. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

12.6Not a Contract of Employment. The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Company and the Participant. Nothing in the Plan shall give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discipline or discharge a Participant at any time.

12.7Protective Provisions. A Participant will cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder.

12.8Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Iowa, except as preempted by federal law.

14

12.9Validity. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

12.10Notice and Elections. Any notice required or permitted under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or sent by registered or certified mail. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. Mailed notice to the President and CEO or to the Company shall be directed to the Company’s address. Mailed notice to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be directed to the individual’s last known address in the Company’s records. Any election made under the Plan must be in writing and delivered (electronically, by facsimile, or by mail) to the Company pursuant to procedures established by the Company. The Employer will prescribe the form of any Plan notice or election to be given to or made by Participants. Any notice or election will be deemed given or made as of the date of actual receipt, or if given or made by certified mail, as of three (3) business days after mailing.

12.11Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.

12.12Account Statements. The Company will provide each Participant with a statement of the Participant’s Incentive Accounts and Deferral Accounts at least annually as of the last day of the most recent calendar year. The Company also will provide account statements to any Beneficiary of a deceased Participant with an Incentive Account or Deferral Account remaining in the Plan.

12.13Accounting. The Company will maintain for each Participant as is necessary for proper administration of the Plan, an Incentive Account for each Award year and a Deferral Account (and Retirement and In-Service subaccounts).

12.14Costs and Expenses. The Company will pay the costs, expenses and fees associated with the operation of the Plan, excluding those incurred by Participants or Beneficiaries. The Company will pay costs, expenses or fees charged by or incurred by the trustee only as provided in the trust or other agreement between the Company and the trustee.

12.15Reporting. The Company will report deferred compensation for Participants on Form W-2 in accordance with Applicable Guidance.
