CHEVRON CORPORATION RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN
(Amended and Restated effective August 1, 2024)

SECTION I.    INTRODUCTION.
(a)The Chevron Corporation Retirement Restoration Plan (the “RRP”) was established effective July 1, 2002 to provide additional retirement benefits due to the limitations of sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code, and to deferred compensation not counting as benefits bearing compensation under the qualified Chevron Retirement Plan. The RRP was formed from a spin-out on July 1, 2002 of the defined benefit portion of the liabilities of the Chevron Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (the “Excess Plan”) which had been originally established effective January 1, 1976. On December 10, 2003, the defined benefit portions of the liabilities of the then active former Texaco and Caltex employees participating in the Supplemental Pension Plan of Texaco Inc. and the Excess-Benefit Plan for Employees of ChevronTexaco Global Energy Inc. were also transferred to the RRP.
(b)The Chevron Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SRP”) was established effective July 1, 2002 to provide additional retirement benefits due to certain awards under the Management Incentive Plan of the Corporation, and on December 10, 2003 was expanded to include additional retirement benefits due to similar executive bonus program awards for former Texaco and Caltex employees. The SRP was formed from a spin-out on July 1, 2002 of the bonus portion of the liabilities of the Excess Plan, and from the later December 10, 2003 spin-out of the liabilities of the then active former Texaco and Caltex employees participating in the Supplemental Bonus Retirement Plan of Texaco Inc. and the Pension Supplementation Plan of ChevronTexaco Global Energy Inc. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the SRP was merged into this RRP. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006 are described in Appendix D.
(c)On August 10, 2005 the Corporation acquired Unocal Corporation (“Unocal”) and later became the sponsor of Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan A1, Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan B1 and Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plan C1 (the “Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans”). The Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans covered eligible employees who were active employees of Unocal or its affiliates on or after January 1, 2005, and provided additional retirement benefits that were not provided under the qualified Unocal Retirement Plan due to the limitations of sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code, to deferred compensation not counting as benefits bearing compensation, and to the calculation of retirement benefits using the high three annual Unocal incentive pay awards, whether or not consecutive. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans were merged into this RRP. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006 are described in the Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans as in effect as of the time such employees incurred a Separation from Service (as amended to comply with section 409A of the Code).
1


(d)Effective January 1, 2009, the RRP was amended and restated in order to comply with the Internal Revenue Services final regulations under section 409A of the Code as described in Appendix A and make certain other changes. Effective January 1, 2017 the RRP was amended to replace the definition of Beneficiary and, effective June 1, 2017, to cease accepting domestic relations orders. Effective October 2, 2023, the RRP was further amended and restated to incorporate reference to the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy. Effective August 1, 2024, the RRP was amended and restated to include a claims procedure in accordance with ERISA Section 502 and to update the beneficiary hierarchy list to match that in the qualified plans. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service between January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 are described in Appendix B. The benefit calculation and benefit distribution rules that apply to eligible employees who incurred a Separation from Service on or after July 1, 2006 and prior to January 1, 2009 are described in Appendix C.

(d)Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion, if any, of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit, commencing on the Participant’s Benefit Calculation Date. Interest shall be credited and compounded daily such that the interest rate for the Quarter will be equal to the average market yield for the preceding Quarter on constant maturity U.S. Government 10-year bonds.
SECTION V. DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS.
Except as otherwise provided in an applicable appendix, Restoration Benefits shall be distributed in cash in accordance with this Section V. Distributions shall only be made after a Participant incurs a Separation from Service. Refer to the appendices of this RRP for the rules that apply to Participants who were participants in the RRP and/or the SRP and who incurred a Separation from Service prior to January 1, 2009. Refer to the Unocal Nonqualified Retirement Plans (as amended to comply with section 409A of the Code) for the rules that apply to Participants who were eligible for such plans and who incurred a Separation from Service prior to July 1, 2006.
(a)Default Distribution Form. Unless the Participant had made a valid election with the Committee as described in this Section V., or except as provided in Section VI.(b), the Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum in the first Quarter that is at least 12 months after the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.
(b)Distribution Election.
A Participant is permitted to make an initial election regarding the timing and form of distribution of his or her Restoration Benefit as follows:
(1)Election Procedure. A Participant may elect his or her time and form of distribution no later than the later of December 31, 2006 or the Initial Election Due Date. Such an election shall be made by filing the prescribed form with the Committee.
(2)Time and Form of Distribution.
A Participant may make a timely election to receive his or her Restoration Benefit only in the following forms and times:
(A)In a lump sum payable in the first Quarter or first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service; or

10


(B)In ten (10) or fewer annual installments, payable or commencing in the first Quarter or in the first January that is one or more whole years (as elected by the Participant) following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service. All installments after the first shall be paid in January.
(c)Determination of Installment Payment Amount. The amount of any installment payment shall be determined by dividing the unpaid balance of the Participant’s Plan Benefit, including credited interest, as of the beginning of the Quarter that includes the distribution date, by the number of annual payments remaining to be made.
(d)Change of Distribution Time and Form. The time and form of distribution (as determined pursuant to Section V.(a) or (b)) may be changed in accordance with the requirements of this Section V.(d) and such additional procedures as may be prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion subject to the following requirements:
(1)Such an election shall only be valid if it is made twelve (12) months prior to the original payment date and postpones the commencement of such payment(s) to at least five (5) years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. The new election can be a lump sum or ten or fewer installments payable or commencing in the first Quarter or the first January that is five or more whole years after the date the original payment(s) were scheduled to commence. All installment payments shall be made in cash and, after the first such installment, shall be paid in January; and
(2)For purposes of this RRP, “payment date” means the date a lump sum is payable or the date the first of a series of installments is payable. Installment payments shall be considered to be one payment.
(e)Acceleration of Payments. Except with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency; a Participant may not elect to accelerate an irrevocable distribution of any portion of his or her Restoration Benefit prior to the date it would otherwise be distributed; provided that an election change permitted under Section V.(d) shall not be considered to be an accelerated distribution solely because such change results in a change to the time and/or form of distribution.
(f)Unforeseeable Emergency.
(1)A Participant may request distribution of such portion of his or her Account to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy an Unforeseeable Emergency (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).
(2)Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency will take into account any additional compensation that is available to the Participant to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency with the exception of benefits:
(A)Under a pension plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code (including any amount available as a plan loan); or

11


(B)Available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of section 409A of the Code (or would be such a nonqualified deferred compensation plan if it was not grandfathered under the effective date provisions of section 409A of the Code).
(g)Mandatory Cashout Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section V., if a Participant’s Restoration Benefit is less than $50,000 on the first business day of the first Quarter that is at least 12 months following the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, such Restoration Benefit shall be distributed in a lump sum in such Quarter.
SECTION VI. DEATH BENEFITS.
(a)Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate, in the manner and on the form prescribed by the Committee, one or more Beneficiaries to receive payment of any Restoration Benefit that is undistributed at the time of the Participant’s death. A Participant may change such designation at any time by filing the prescribed form in the manner established by the Committee. No Beneficiary designation shall be effective until it is filed in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. If a Beneficiary has not been designated or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, distribution will be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse as Beneficiary if such spouse is then living or, if none or not living, in equal shares to the then living children of the Participant as Beneficiaries or, if none, in equal shares to the then living parents of the Participant as Beneficiaries, or, if none, in equal shares to the then living siblings of the Participant as Beneficiaries, or, if none, to the Participant’s estate as Beneficiary.
(b)Time and Form of Death Benefit. If a Participant who has made a valid election as to the form and time of the payment of his or her Restoration Benefit dies, then the Beneficiary shall receive the payment(s) on the date(s) elected by the Participant and at the same time and in the same form as the Participant would have received such payment(s), except that the Beneficiary may request a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency as described in Section V.(f). If such a Participant has not made a valid election as to the time and form of his distribution, then payment shall be made in a lump sum on the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s death.
SECTION VII. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)Forfeitures. Restoration Benefits shall vest in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding such vesting, however, if the Participant engages in Misconduct, the Committee may determine that any unpaid Restoration Benefits shall be forfeited and/or that any previously paid Restoration Benefits shall be repaid to the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Restoration Benefits of a Covered Executive, as that term is defined by the Corporation’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, shall be and remain subject to the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy or any successor incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.
12


(b)Funding. The RRP shall be unfunded, and all Restoration Benefits shall be paid only from the general assets of the Corporation.
(c)Tax Withholding. All distributions shall be net of any applicable payroll deductions including, but not limited to, any federal, state or local tax withholding. In addition, any withholding amount required under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act with respect to a Participant’s Restoration Benefit prior to the date a distribution is made from the RRP, if any, and the additional income taxes attributable to such withholding, shall be debited from the Participant’s Restoration Benefit.
(d)No Employment Rights. Nothing in the RRP shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain in the employ of any member of the Corporation nor affect the right of the Corporation to terminate any individual’s employment at any time and for any reason, which right is hereby reserved.
(e)No Assignment of Property Rights. Except as may be required by applicable law, or as is described below relating to domestic relations orders, no Restoration Benefit or property interest in this RRP may be assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, anticipated or subject to attachment, bankruptcy, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process. Any act in violation of this Section VII.(e) shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to all or any portion of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit hereunder pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code) that is valid under applicable state law and not preempted by ERISA shall not constitute a violation of this Section VII.(e). Effective June 1, 2017, the Corporation shall no longer accept domestic relations orders under the RRP.
(f)Administration. The RRP shall be administered by the Committee. No member of the Committee shall become a Participant in the RRP. The Committee shall make such rules, interpretations and computations as it may deem appropriate. The Committee shall have sole discretion to interpret the terms of the RRP, make any factual findings, and make any decision with respect to the RRP, including (without limitation) any determination of eligibility to participate in the RRP, eligibility for a Restoration Benefit, and the amount of such Restoration Benefit. The Committee’s determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate other persons to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.
(g)Amendment and Termination. The Corporation expects to continue the RRP indefinitely. Future conditions, however, cannot be foreseen. Subject to Section VIII., the Corporation shall have the authority to amend or to terminate the RRP at any time and for any reason, by action of its board of directors or by action of a committee or individual(s) acting pursuant to a valid delegation of authority. In the event of an amendment or termination of the RRP, a Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall not be less than the Restoration Benefit to which the Participant would have been entitled if he or she had incurred a Separation from Service immediately prior to such amendment or termination, except to the extent:
(1)The RRP was amended or terminated to comply with changes in the Code;
13


(2)Some or all of the amount calculated under the RRP’s terms that existed immediately prior to such amendment or termination is subsequently provided from another plan.
(h)Effect of Reemployment.
(1)If any Participant who has incurred a Separation from Service is reemployed, such Participant shall receive any amounts attributable to his or her previous employment according to his or her existing distribution schedule under the Prior Period Plan.
(2)When any reemployed Participant subsequently incurs a Separation from Service, the Participant’s Restoration Benefit payable upon the subsequent Separation from Service will be the greater of the “A+B Calculation” and the “C Calculation”.
The “A+B Calculation” is the sum of the “A Calculation” and the “B Calculation”.
The “A Calculation” is the difference (but not less than zero) between (i) the Participant’s Prior Period Plan benefit calculated according to the provisions of the Prior Period Plan based only on the Participant’s service and earnings during the prior period(s) of employment, and (ii) the present value of all payments previously made or scheduled to be made in the future under the Prior Period Plan.
The “B Calculation” is the Participant’s Restoration Benefit calculated according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) based only on the Participant’s service and earnings during the latest period of employment.
The “C Calculation” is the difference between (i) and (ii), where (i) is the Participant’s Restoration Benefit (before offset for the Retirement Plan benefit) calculated according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) based on the Participant’s service and earnings during all periods of employment, and (ii) is the sum of the present value of all payments previously made (or scheduled to be made in the future) under the Retirement Plan and the Prior Period Plan (if any) with respect to prior period(s) of employment, and the present value of the benefit to be paid under the Retirement Plan with respect to both the prior period of employment (to the extent not previously made or scheduled to be made in the future) and the current period of employment. For the purposes of the “C Calculation”, the benefit calculation according to Section IV.(a)(1)(A) or (a)(2)(A) (as applicable) will use the Retirement Plan formula in effect for the Participant at the time of his or her latest Separation from Service.
(3)Present values shall be determined using the interest rates and other actuarial factors in effect under the Retirement Plan as of the date this calculation is made.
(i)Excess Plan/Top-Hat Plan Status. To the extent that the RRP provides a benefit in excess of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by section 415 of the Code, the RRP is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA, that is an unfunded deferred compensation program. Otherwise, the RRP is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation program that is maintained “for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” as set forth in Title I of ERISA. The RRP shall be implemented, administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention.
14


(j)Successors and Assigns. The RRP shall be binding upon the Corporation, its Successors and Assigns. Notwithstanding that the RRP may be binding upon a Successor or Assign by operation of law, the Corporation shall also require any Successor or Assign to expressly assume and agree to be bound by the RRP in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be if no succession or assignment had taken place.
(k)409A Compliance. This RRP is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a failure to comply with section 409A of the Code (or the regulations thereunder), the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the time or form of payment of a Participant’s Restoration Benefit, but only to the extent of the amount required to be included in income as a result of such failure.
(l)Choice of Law. The RRP shall be administered, construed and governed in accordance with ERISA, the Code, and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, by the laws of the State of California, but without regard to its conflict of law rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, domestic relations orders and the Section II.(q) definition of Misconduct shall be subject to the jurisdiction’s law that would otherwise be applicable, but without regard to that particular jurisdiction’s conflict of laws rules.
SECTION VIII. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the RRP to the contrary, the provisions of this Section VIII. shall apply during the Benefit Protection Period.
(a)Restrictions on Amendments During Benefit Protection Period. Notwithstanding Section VII.(g) of the RRP, except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, no amendment of the RRP (other than an amendment to reduce or discontinue future accruals under the RRP after the end of the Benefit Protection Period) that is executed or first becomes effective during the Benefit Protection Period shall:
(1)Deprive any individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of coverage under the RRP as constituted at the time of such amendment;
(2)Deprive any individual who is a Beneficiary with respect to an individual who is a Participant on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or immediately prior to a Change in Control of any benefit to which he or she is entitled on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date or may become entitled during the Benefit Protection Period;
(3)Reduce the amount of benefits provided under the RRP below the benefits provided under the RRP on the day prior to the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date;
(4)Amend Sections II.(c), II.(d), II.(f), VII.(g), or VIII.; or
(5)Terminate the RRP.

15


(b)Exception to Section VIII.(a). Section VIII.(a) shall not apply to the extent that (i) the amendment or termination of the RRP is approved after any plans have been abandoned to effect the transaction which, if effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred, and (ii) within a period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred. For purposes of this Section VIII., approval shall mean written approval (by a person or entity within the Corporation having the authority to do so) of such amendment or termination.
(c)Restrictions on Certain Actions Prior to or Following, a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the RRP and except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, (i) any amendment or termination of the RRP which is executed or would otherwise become effective prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who effectuates a Change in Control shall not be an effective amendment or termination of the RRP during the Benefit Protection Period; and (ii) the RRP shall not be amended at any time if to do so would adversely affect the rights derived under the RRP from this Section VIII. of any individual who is a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period or a Beneficiary with respect to a Participant during the Benefit Protection Period. Furthermore, following a Change in Control, no person shall take any action that would directly or indirectly have the same effect as any of the prohibited amendments listed in Section VIII.(a).
(d)Effect on other Benefits. In calculating a Participant’s Restoration Benefit under Section IV., it shall be assumed that the Retirement Plan formulae and actuarial assumptions in effect on the Benefit Protection Period Commencement Date had continued in effect through the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service.
(e)Distribution of Restoration Benefits. In the event of a Change of Control, each Participant’s Restoration Benefits shall be distributed in accordance with Section V.
(f)Establishment of a Trust. Notwithstanding anything contained in the RRP to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit the Corporation from establishing a trust or other arrangement for the purpose of providing for the payment of the benefits payable under the RRP.
(g)No Forfeitures. During the Benefit Protection Period, a Participant’s Restoration Benefit shall not be subject to forfeiture under any circumstances.
(h)Miscellaneous.
(1)The provisions of the RRP shall be deemed severable and the validity or enforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
(2)The Corporation’s obligation to make the payments and provide the benefits provided for in the RRP and otherwise to perform its obligation hereunder shall not be
16


affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Corporation may have against the Participant or others.
(3)No provision of the RRP may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Participant and the Corporation. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this RRP to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent time.
SECTION IX. GRANDFATHERED PROVISIONS.
Notwithstanding any provision of the main text of this RRP, any provision in an Appendix shall supersede any contrary provision herein unless the Appendix specifically states to the contrary.
SECTION X. CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES.
(a)Inquiries and Applications for Benefits.

17


from such denial by submitting a request for a review of the claim to the Plan Administrator within 90 days after receiving written notice of such denial from the Plan Administrator.

The Plan Administrator shall give prompt, written notice of its decision to the claimant.
