WHEREAS, Section 16.1 of the Plan authorizes the Benefits Administration Committee of American Water Works Company, Inc. and Its Designated Beneficiaries (the “Committee”) to amend the Plan for amendments that do not have a material cost; and

WHEREAS, the Committee desires to amend the Plan, to (i) add a lump sum benefit payment option to the Plan, which will be in addition to any other lump sum payment options currently available under the Plan, for all participants (both non-union and those participants who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement), who retire from employment with the Company and all affiliated employers on or after December 31, 2018, and whose annuity starting occurs on or after January 1, 2019, and (ii) provide that a participant’s benefit payable as of normal retirement date, shall never be less than the benefit that is payable as of any earlier retirement age under the Plan, and (iii) provide that the benefit of a participant who is not a “named executive officer” of the Company will not decrease after attainment of age 62.

WHEREAS, this “Amendment” shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that by virtue of the authority reserved to the Committee under Section 16.1 of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

“(b)    ‘Actuarial Equivalent’ means a benefit of equivalent value (A) computed on the basis set out in Tables 2 through 4(a), appended hereto, (B) derived based on interest rates and mortality tables set forth in Table 5 or (C) in any instance in which neither (A) nor (B) applies, based on an assumed interest rate of 8% and using the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (set-back 1 year for Participants and set back 5 years for Contingent Annuitants). For the purpose of determining lump sum present values pursuant to Sections 6.4(h), 6.6 and 6.7, the calculation shall be made using the “applicable mortality table” under section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Code and shall be based on the “applicable interest rate” under section 417(e)

“(a)    Upon retirement at his Normal Retirement Date, a Participant shall be entitled to receive a monthly retirement income commencing on his Normal Retirement Date, which in accordance with Treas. Reg. section 1.411(a)-7(c)(1) shall be equal to the greatest of: (i) the Participant's Accrued Benefit that he could have commenced on or after the date the Participant has attained age 55, provided the sum of his age and Years of Service equals or exceeds 70; (ii) in the case of a Participant who, as of January 1, 2019, is not a “named executive officer” (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), the Participant’s Accrued Benefit that he could have commenced on or after attaining age 62; or (iii) the Participant’s Accrued Benefit payable at Normal Retirement Date, or in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, the Actuarial Equivalent of such Accrued Benefit in an amount determined under Sections 5.2, 5.6, 5.7 and, if applicable, Section 6.1(a).”
