CYPRESS NON-QUALIFIED

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN II

The Cypress Semiconductor Corporation Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, originally effective as of September 1, 1995, and thereafter amended, was further amended and restated in its entirety by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”), effective as of January 1, 2002 on behalf of itself and any designated subsidiaries and was renamed the Cypress Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan II (“Plan II”).  Also on January 1, 2002, the Cypress Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan I (“Plan I”) was adopted by the Company.  Plan I is similar to Plan II except that (i) the phantom investments are different than those available under Plan II, and (ii) beneficiaries of Plan I participants who die in certain situations will receive a supplemental survivor benefit.  Plan I and Plan II were amended effective April 1, 2004 to permit outside directors who are also consultants to participate in the Plans.  Plan I and Plan II were frozen to new deferrals as of December 31, 2004 so as to qualify these prior plans for “grandfather” treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and were renamed Pre-2005 Plan I and Pre-2005 Plan II.

To comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Company established Plan I and Plan II, covering deferrals made on and after January 1, 2005.  Plan I is similar to Plan II except that (i) the phantom investments are different than those available under Plan II, and (ii) beneficiaries of Plan I participants who die in certain situations will receive a supplemental survivor benefit. Plan I and Plan II were amended effective June 15, 2005 to allow the Committee, in its discretion, to permit Participants to cancel or reduce deferral elections in 2005 with respect to amounts deferred (or to be deferred) on or after January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005.  Plans I and II were further amended effective January 1, 2006 to clarify that the definition of Compensation excludes any severance payments.  Plans I and II were further amended in December, 2008 to comply with the final Treasury Regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  Plans I and II were further amended in January, 2009 to make clear that Cypress phantom stock is a permitted phantom investment.  Throughout, the term “Company” shall include wherever relevant any entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company or any entity in which the Company has a significant equity or investment interest, or any subsidiary of the Company, as determined by the Company.  Finally, Plans I and II were further amended effective January 1, 2016 to update plan eligibility.  Plan I was also amended to freeze the supplemental survivor benefit to two times the total amount deferred into Plan I through December 31, 2015.

The purpose of Plan II is to provide supplemental retirement income and to permit eligible Participants the option to defer receipt of compensation, pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  Plan II is intended to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees under sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participants shall have the status of unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to the payment of Plan benefits.

RECITALS:

1. The Company maintains Plan II for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees designated by the Company.

2. Under Plan II, the Company is obligated to pay vested accrued benefits to Plan II Participants and their beneficiary or beneficiaries (“Plan II Beneficiaries”) from the Company’s general assets.

3. The Company has entered into an agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Trustees”) under an irrevocable trust (the “Trust”) to be used in connection with Plan II.

4. The Company intends to make contributions to the Trust so that such contributions will be held by the Trustees and invested, reinvested and distributed, all in accordance with the provisions of this Plan II and the Trust Agreement.

5. The Company intends that the assets of the Trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company as provided in the Trust Agreement.

6. The Company intends that the existence of the Trust shall not alter the characterization of Plan II as “unfunded” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and shall not be construed to provide income to Plan II Beneficiaries prior to actual payment of the vested accrued benefits thereunder.

NOW THEREFORE, the Company does hereby establish Plan II as follows and does also hereby agree that Plan II shall be structured, held and disposed of as follows:

ARTICLE II.

ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION, AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

A. Eligible Participants

The following categories of service providers (“Eligible Participants”) shall be eligible to participate in Plan II:  (i) Non-Sales employees with an annual salary equal to or greater than $200,000, or Sales employees with  a total cash target greater than or equal to $200,000  (ii) any other employee or category of employee that is approved by the CEO as eligible to participate in Plan II, and (iii) non-employee members of the Board of Directors who are also paid consultants to the Company.  The Committee reserves the right to modify the definition of Eligible Participant at any time with the approval of the CEO.  Any Eligible Participant who has commenced participation in Plan II shall be referred to in this Plan II as a “Participant.”

B. Participation

Each Eligible Participant may elect to commence participation in Plan II by completing a Cypress Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan II participation agreement and deferral election no later than the last day of his or her Election Period.  For purposes of the foregoing, an Eligible Participant’s Election Period shall be defined as: (i) for newly Eligible Participants who are eligible for the first time, the thirty (30) day period measured from the date upon which the Eligible Participant becomes eligible to participate in Plan II and any other non-qualified deferred compensation plans required to be aggregated with Plan II under Section 409A; and (ii) for all other Eligible Participants (including Eligible Participants who formerly were Eligible Participants), no later than the due date for the irrevocable enrollment forms during the annual open enrollment period which is from December 1st to December 31st of each year (the “Annual Open Enrollment Period”) prior to the beginning of the Plan Year for which the election is effective (the calendar year is the “Plan Year”).  Elections shall remain in effect for successive Plan years unless modified or revoked (with respect to future Plan Years only) in a subsequent Annual Open Enrollment Period.

C. Beneficiary Designation

Page4 of 16

Each Participant, prior to entering Plan II, may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the remainder of any interest of the Participant under Plan II in the event of the Participant’s death.  A Participant may change his or her beneficiary designation at any time by submitting a complete and approved form of beneficiary designation (including dated spousal consent, if required pursuant to the beneficiary designation form) to the Committee (or its designee).  Each beneficiary designation shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when filed with the Committee (or its designee) during the Participant’s lifetime.  Each beneficiary designation filed with the Committee will cancel all previously filed beneficiary designations.  In the absence of a valid designation, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s interest shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate.

ARTICLE III

PLAN II CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

A. Participant Deferrals

Each Participant participating in Plan II shall, no later than the end of the applicable Enrollment Period, execute a participation agreement and deferral election (the “Deferral Election”) authorizing the Company to withhold a percentage amount of the Participant’s Compensation which would otherwise be paid to the Participant with respect to services rendered.  Compensation under Plan II is defined as annual base salary (or, for non-employee directors, cash consulting fees, including KEBP bonus), cash bonuses (including KEBP bonus, new product bonus and any other cash bonuses), and any cash Sales Commissions payable to the Participant in connection with the Participant’s services to the Company, provided however, that Compensation does not include severance payments (“Compensation”).  The Committee may, in its discretion, establish in the Deferral Election minimum and maximum levels of Compensation that may be deferred pursuant to Plan II.  Compensation deferrals made by a Participant under this Plan II shall be held as an asset of the Company and the Company intends to deposit the amounts deferred into the Trust.

B. Sales Commissions and Bonuses Payable in a Subsequent Year.  If cash bonuses (including new product bonus and any other cash bonuses) or cash Sales Commissions are earned in one calendar year and would normally be paid in the first quarter of the ensuing calendar year, they shall be deferred and distributed based upon the election made by the Participant in the open enrollment period in the year prior to the year in which it was earned.  For newly Eligible Participants, any such cash bonus or Sales Commission shall be deferred and distributed based upon their initial election made with respect to the year in which it was earned; provided, however, that such election may apply to no more than the total amount of such compensation multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the applicable performance period after such election becomes irrevocable over the total number of days in the applicable performance period.

C. Year-End Cross-Over Payroll Periods.  Paydays relating to periods of service that cross-over the calendar year end shall be covered by the Participant’s deferral election in effect for the later year, consistently with the default rules under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(a)(13).

D. Election Changes

(1) .A Participant may, in such form and at such time or times as the Committee may prescribe, discontinue or modify the deferral of his or her Compensation with respect to Plan Years that have not yet commenced.  The Committee has the power to establish uniform and nondiscriminatory rules and from time to time to modify or change such rules governing the manner and method by which Compensation deferral elections shall be made, as well as the manner and method by which Compensation deferral elections with respect to Plan Years that have not yet commenced may be changed or discontinued temporarily or permanently.  All Compensation deferral contributions shall be authorized by the Participant in writing or electronically, made by payroll deduction, deducted from the Participant’s Compensation without reduction for any taxes or withholding (except to the extent required by law or regulation) and paid over to the Trust by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant shall remain liable for any and all employment taxes owing with respect to such Participant’s Compensation deferral contributions.

E. Limitation on Deferral Changes.  The dollar amount of any Plan deferrals shall not be reduced or increased during any Plan Year by virtue of any Participant election to increase, decrease or terminate his or her rate of deferral in any other employee benefit plan, including the Company’s employee stock purchase plan; except as permitted by Code Section 409A with respect to changes in deferral elections under the Company’s 401(k) Employee Savings Plan and Code Section 125 flexible benefits plan (or as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A).

F. Cessation of Eligible Status

Page5 of 16

In the event a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant while also a participant in Plan II, if such individual has not undergone a Separation From Service, he or she shall continue to make Compensation deferral contributions under Plan II through the end of the Plan Year in which the individual ceases to be an Eligible Participant.  Thereafter, such individual shall not make any further Compensation deferral contributions to Plan II unless or until he or she again meets the eligibility requirements of Article II above.

G. Company Discretionary Contributions

The Company may, in its sole discretion, make discretionary contributions to the accounts of one or more Participants at such times and in such amounts as the Board of the Company shall determine, subject to such vesting and distribution conditions and limitations as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall impose.  To the extent such Company contributions do not vest, corresponding debits will be made to a Participant's Account, including any earnings on such forfeited amounts.

H. Allocations

The Compensation deferral contributions and any Company contributions made under Plan II on behalf of a Participant shall be credited to the Participant’s Account.  The Committee shall establish and maintain separate subaccounts as it determines to be necessary and appropriate for the proper administration of Plan II.  The Committee may cause the Trustees to maintain and invest separate asset accounts corresponding to each Participant account.  Each Participant Account consists of the aggregate interest of the Participant under Plan II (and in the Trust Fund), as reflected in the records maintained by the Company for such purposes.

I. Plan to Plan Transfers.  

Subject to the Committee’s discretion, Participants shall be allowed to elect to transfer their deemed investment accounts from Plan II to Plan I or from Plan I to Plan II, subject to such limitations and reallocation requirements as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate; provided, however, that any such Plan to Plan transfers shall not change the time and method of distribution of the amounts transferred.  The plan to plan transfers shall be effective as of the date specified by the Committee.

J. Cancellation of Elections Due to 401(k) Hardship Withdrawal, Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution, or Disability

(1) 401(k) Hardship Withdrawal.  A Participant’s deferral election shall be automatically cancelled in the event the Participant obtains a hardship distribution from the Company’s 401(k) Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-1(d)(3).  The Participant, if still an Eligible Participant, may re-enroll in New Plan I during the next open enrollment period.

(2) Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution.  A Participant’s deferral election shall be automatically cancelled in the event the Participant obtains an unforeseeable emergency distribution from New Plan I or Plan II.  The Participant, if still an Eligible Participant, may re-enroll in New Plan I during the next open enrollment period.

ARTICLE IV

VESTING

A. Compensation Deferral Contributions

The value of a Participant’s Account attributable to Participants’ Compensation deferral contributions shall always be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

B. Company Contributions

The value of a Participant’s Account attributable to any Company contributions pursuant to Article III.D shall vest at such time or times as the Board may specify in connection with any such contributions.  In the absence of Board specification, a Participant’s interest in Company contributions shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable.  Upon a Participant’s Separation From Service for any reason, any portion of the Participant’s Account that is not then vested (including allocable earnings, as determined by the Committee), shall be forfeited.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, forfeitures shall be used to satisfy the Company’s obligation to remit contributions to the Trust under Plan II.

ARTICLE V

GENERAL DUTIES

A. Committee Duties

The Committee will provide the Trustees with a copy of any future amendment to this Plan II promptly upon its adoption.  The Committee may from time to time hire outside consultants, accountants, actuaries, legal counsel or recordkeepers to perform such tasks as the Committee may from time to time determine.

D. Department of Labor Determination

In the event that any Participants are found to be ineligible, that is, not members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, according to a determination made by the Department of Labor, the Committee will take whatever steps it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to equitably protect the interests of the affected Participants.

ARTICLE VI

PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

A. Separate Accounts

The Committee shall open and maintain a separate Account for each Participant.  Each Participant’s Account shall reflect the amounts allocated thereto and distributed therefrom and such other information as affects the value of such Account pursuant to this Plan II.

B. Timing of Account Credit.  Amounts deferred under Plan I shall be credited to a Participant’s Account within five business days following the date upon which such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.

C. Statement of Accounts

As soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year the Committee shall furnish to each Participant a statement of Account, determined as of the end of such calendar year.  Upon the discovery of any error or miscalculation in an Account, the Committee shall correct it, to the extent correction is practically feasible and permissible under Code Section 409A; provided, however, that any such statement of Account shall be considered to reflect accurately the status of the Participant’s Account for all purposes under Plan II unless the Participant reports a discrepancy to the Committee within six (6) months after receipt of the statement.  The Committee shall have no obligation to make adjustments to a Participant’s Account for any discrepancy reported to the Committee more than six (6) months after receipt of the statement, or for a discrepancy caused by the Participant’s error.  Statements to Participants are for reporting purposes only, and no allocation, valuation or statement shall vest any right or title in any part of the Trust Fund, nor require any segregation of Trust assets, except as is specifically provided in this Plan II.

D. Distribution of Accounts

Page7 of 16

ARTICLE VII

PAYMENTS TO A PLAN II PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY

A. General

(1) .Payments of vested accrued benefits to Plan II Beneficiaries from the Trust shall generally be made in accordance with the distribution event specified by the Participant in the Deferral Election between the Company and the Participant (the “Distribution Event”).  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Participant’s Deferral Election and as set forth in Article VII below, no distribution shall be made or commenced prior to the time and manner as set forth in the Participant’s Deferral Election.

B. Installment Payments Treated as Single Payments.  All installment payments under the Plan are considered a single payment for purposes of complying with Code Section 409A.

C. Earliest Distributions.

(i) Regular Participants.  Except as permitted by the Plan and Code Section 409A in connection with a Change of Control Event, a Corporate Dissolution, pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Approval, a conflicts of interest or ethics rules distribution under Article 7.Q., a FICA and related income tax distribution under Article 7.R., a state, local or foreign tax distribution under Article 7.S., or a Code Section 409A Distribution under Article 7.T., in no event may the account of a Participant who is not a Specified Employee be distributed earlier than (i) the Participant’s Separation From Service, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Participant’s death, (iv) a specified time under Article 7.I. hereunder, (v) a Change in Control, (vi) the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, or (vii) to an individual other than the Participant pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order.

(ii) Specified Employee Participants.  Except as permitted by the Plan and Code Section 409A in connection with a Change of Control Event, a Corporate Dissolution, pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Approval, a conflicts of interest or ethics rules distribution under Article 7.Q., a FICA and related income tax distribution under Article 7.R., a state, local or foreign tax distribution under Article 7.S., or a Code Section 409A Distribution under Article 7.T., in no event may a Specified Employee’s account be distributed earlier than (i) six (6) months following the Specified Employee’s Separation From Service (or if earlier, the Specified Employee’s death), (ii) six (6) months following the Specified Employee’s Disability, (iii) the Specified Employee’s death, (iv) a specified time under Article 7.I. hereunder, (v) a Change in Control, (vi) the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, or (vii) to an individual other than the Participant pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order.  In the event a Specified Employee’s Plan distributions are delayed due to the six-month delay requirement, the amounts otherwise payable to the Specified Employee during such period of delay shall be paid on a date that is at least six months and one day following Separation From Service, but no later than the end of the calendar year in which such six month and one day period ends (or, if earlier, upon the death of the Specified Employee).  The Participant’s other scheduled distributions, if any, shall not be affected by the period of delay.

D. Small Account Lump-Sum Distribution.  If, on the date of a Participant’s Separation From Service, their Accounts under Old Plan I, Old Plan II, New Plan I, Plan II and any other non-qualified deferred compensation plans required to be aggregated with such plans pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) total, in the aggregate, less than the then applicable limit under Internal Revenue Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) (e.g., $15,500 in 2007), then all Accounts under all such plans, including Participant’s Account under this New Plan I, shall be distributed in a lump-sum in the month following such Participant’s Separation From Service, or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee, in the seventh month following such Participant’s Separation From Service; provided, however, that in the event such Accounts increase in value so that their aggregate value exceeds the then applicable limit under Internal Revenue Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) on the scheduled payment date, such Accounts shall instead be paid in accordance with the Plan and the Participant’s Deferral Elections.

E. Upon Retirement – Plan Year 2005 Through 2008 Deferrals.  With respect to amounts deferred in Plan Years 2005 through 2008, if a Participant has a Separation From Service pursuant to Participant’s retirement at age 55 or greater but with at least ten full years of continuous employment, or for outside director Participants, age 55 or greater and ten full years of continuous service as a Board member or consultant (either case shall be referred to in this Plan I as “Retirement”), then Participant shall receive, pursuant to the election selected in his or her timely submitted Deferral Election(s) a distribution of his or her Account balance in (i) a lump-sum, (ii) a partial lump-sum combined with up to fifteen years of annual payments, or (iii) two to fifteen years of annual payments, each such payment equal to 1/n of the Participant’s vested accrued benefit where n is the number of installments remaining to be paid, (an “Annual Payment”); provided, however, that to the extent a Participant is permitted to and makes differing distribution elections for amounts deferred in different Plan Years, then the deferrals for each Plan Year (including earnings and losses thereon) shall be distributed in one of the three permitted methods in accordance with such Deferral Elections.

Page8 of 16

F. Upon Death – Plan Year 2005 Through 2008 Deferrals.With respect to amounts deferred in Plan Years 2005 through 2008, if a Participant dies, then the Participant’s beneficiary will receive their remaining Account balance in either a lump-sum or in five Annual Payments, as specified in the Participant’s Deferral Election; provided, however, that to the extent a Participant is permitted to and makes differing distribution elections for amounts deferred in different Plan Years, then the deferrals for each Plan Year (including earnings and losses thereon) shall be distributed in one of the two permitted methods in accordance with such Deferral Elections.

G. Non-Retirement Separations From Service – Plan Year 2005 Through 2008 Deferrals.With respect to amounts deferred in Plan Years 2005 through 2008, in the event a Participant has a Separation From Service that does not qualify as a Retirement, then his or her Account balance shall be distributed in a lump-sum within 60 days following such Separation From Service.

H. All Separations From Service and Death – Plan Year 2009 and Later Deferrals.  With respect to amounts deferred in Plan Years 2009 and later, if a Participant dies or undergoes any Separation From Service, then Participant shall receive, pursuant to the election selected in his or her timely submitted Deferral Election(s) a distribution of his or her Account balance in (i) a lump-sum, (ii) a partial lump-sum combined with up to fifteen years of annual payments, or (iii) two to fifteen years of Annual Payments; provided, however, that to the extent a Participant is permitted to and makes differing distribution elections for amounts deferred in different Plan Years, then the deferrals for each Plan Year (including earnings and losses thereon) shall be distributed in one of the three permitted methods in accordance with such Deferral Elections.

I. Scheduled In-Service Distribution.A Participant may elect, as provided in his or her Participant Deferral Election, to receive one or more scheduled in-service (i.e., prior to a Separation From Service) distributions from their Account balance without an early withdrawal penalty.  Any such distributions must be at least two full Plan Years following the date of the Participant’s Deferral Election.  Each scheduled in-service distribution may be postponed (but only once) in accordance with Article 6.M.  If a Participant specifies that a dollar amount will be distributed and the Account balance is less than the dollar amount, then the entire Account will be distributed.  A Participant may neither increase nor decrease the amount or percentage specified for an in-service distribution once their initial election becomes irrevocable.  In the event a Participant undergoes a Separation From Service prior to a scheduled in-service distribution, the in-service distribution election shall be without further force and effect and the applicable Separation From Service distribution provisions of Plan II and the Participant’s Deferral Election shall control.

J. Method of Distribution. Except as specified otherwise in this Article 6, payment to any Plan II Beneficiary shall be made (i) in accordance with the Deferral Election executed by the Participant, (ii) in cash, (iii) in a lump-sum or in annual payments.

K. Lump-Sum Distribution Timing. For Participants receiving a lump-sum distribution (other than a small account lump-sum distribution under Article 6.D. hereof, which shall be paid in accordance with that subsection), the value of their Account (or portion thereof specified in the Participant’s election) shall be paid in a lump-sum cash payment no later than the end of the year in which their Separation From Service occurs (or if their Separation From Service or death occurs in December of any year, no earlier than January 1 of the following year and no later than December 31 of such following year), or, for Specified Employees (or their estates or beneficiaries), at least six months and one day after the date upon which they incur a Separation From Service, but no later than the end of the calendar year in which such six month and one day period ends or, if earlier, upon their death.

L. Installment Distribution Timing.  Installment payments shall commence no later than the end of the year following the triggering distribution event (except if the triggering event is a Separation From Service or death occurring in December, in which case the payments shall commence in the following year), or, for Specified Employees undergoing a Separation From Service triggering event, as soon as is practicable at least six months and one day after the date upon which they incur a Separation From Service, but no later than the end of the calendar year in which such six month and one day period ends.  However, in no event may installment payments be made over a period exceeding fourteen years following the first installment, even if the payments are postponed pursuant to an election made under Article 6.M. hereof.

M. Subsequent Election to Delay or Change Form of Payment.

(1) A Participant’s election to receive a retirement, Disability or in‑service distribution may be delayed or the form of payment changed by filing an election, in the form required by the Committee, at least one year in advance of the date upon which any distribution would otherwise have been made pursuant to the prior election.  Such election shall not be effective for a period of one (1) year, and must delay the initial payment by a period of at least five (5) years, but may not result in the initial payment occurring more than then ten (10) years following Retirement or Disability.  In the absence of such timely filed election, the value of such Participant’s Account shall be distributed in accordance with their previously timely filed Account election.

Page9 of 16

(2) Because Plan installment payments are considered a single payment for purposes of Code Section 409A, a subsequent election may accelerate the method of distribution.  For example, if a Participant initially elected to receive retirement or Disability payments in five annual installments following her Separation From Service, she could make a timely election to instead take a lump-sum distribution five years following her Separation From Service.  Moreover, a subsequent election may change a lump-sum distribution to an installment election, so long as, in either case, the initial payment is delayed for a period of at least five (5) years, the election is not effective for one (1) year and is made at least one (1) year in advance of the date upon which the first distribution would have otherwise been made.

(3) Because installment payments are treated as a single payment, any subsequent election must apply to all of the installment payments.  For example, if a Participant initially elected to receive retirement or Disability payments in five annual installments following her Separation From Service, the Participant may not elect to defer the 1^st, 2d, 3^rd and 5^th installments only, but must also defer the 4^th installment.

N. Distributions From Trust; Withholding.Unless the Trustees do not require this, with respect to each Participant, the Company shall deliver to the Trustees a schedule (the “Payment Schedule”) that indicates the amounts payable in respect of the Participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to the Trustees for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts.  The Payment Schedule shall be delivered to the Trustees not fewer than 15 days prior to the first date on which a payment is to be made to the Participant.  Any change to a Payment Schedule shall be delivered to the Trustees not fewer than 15 days prior to the date on which the first payment is to be made in accordance with the changed Payment Schedule.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustees shall cause the Company or the Trust to make payments to Participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule.  The Trustees shall make provisions for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of Plan II benefits and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Company, it being understood among the parties hereto that the Company shall on a timely basis provide the Trustees specific information as to the amount of taxes from the Trustees and properly pay and report such withheld taxes from the Trustees and properly pay and report such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities.

O. Distributions From Trust; Withholding. In case of any distribution to a minor or to a legally incompetent person, the Committee may (1) direct the Trustees to make the distribution to his legal representative, to a designated relative, or directly to such person for his benefit, or (2) instruct the Trustees to use the distribution directly for his support, maintenance, or education.  The Trustees shall not be required to oversee the application, by any third party, of any distributions made pursuant to this Article.

P. Domestic Relations Order Distributions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate a payment (or payments) make such payments to an individual other than the Participant as necessary to comply with the terms of a Domestic Relations Order.

Q. Conflicts of Interest and Ethics Rules Distributions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate a payment (or payments) as necessary (i) for any U.S. federal officer or employee in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government to comply with an ethics agreement with the U.S. federal government, or (ii) to avoid violating a U.S. federal, state, local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of interest law, as specified under Code Section 409A.

R. FICA and Related Income Tax Distribution. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a distribution from a Participant’s Account sufficient to pay any FICA Amounts due upon the vesting of any Company contribution as well as to satisfy the income tax withholding requirements with respect to the FICA Amount and income tax payments under this Article 7.R..  In no event may the total payment under this Article 6.R. exceed the aggregate of the FICA Amount and the related income tax withholding.

S. State, Local and Foreign Tax Distribution.

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

A. Claims and Review Procedures

(1) Purpose.  Every Participant or Beneficiary (or his or her representative who is authorized in writing by the Claimant to act on his or her behalf) (hereinafter collectively, “Claimant”) shall be entitled to file with the Committee (and subsequently with the individual(s) designated to review claims appealed after being initially denied by the Committee (the “Review Panel”)) a written claim for benefits under the Plan.  The Committee and Review Panel shall each be able to establish such rules, policies and procedures, consistent with ERISA and the Plan, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties and responsibilities under this Article 11.  In the case of a denial of the claim, the Committee or Review Panel, as applicable, shall provide the Claimant with a written or electronic notification that complies with Department of Labor Regulation Section 2520.104b-1(c)(1).

(2) Denial of Claim.  If a claim is denied by the Committee (or its authorized representative), in whole or in part, then the Claimant shall be furnished with a denial notice that shall contain the following:

(i) specific reason(s) for the denial;

(ii) reference to the specific Plan provision(s) on which the denial is based;

Page11 of 16

(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; and

(iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a denial on review (as set forth in Section 11(A)(4) below).

The denial notice shall be furnished to the Claimant no later than ninety (90)-days after receipt of the claim by the Committee, unless the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim.  If the Committee determines that an extension of time for processing is required, then notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial ninety (90)-day period.  In no event shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90)-days from the end of such initial period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the benefits determination.

(3) Claim Review Procedure.  The Claimant may request review of the denial at any time within sixty (60) days following the date the Claimant received notice of the denial of his or her claim.  The Committee shall afford the Claimant a full and fair review of the decision denying the claim and, if so requested, shall:

(i) provide the Claimant with the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits;

(ii) provide that the Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information (other than documents, records and other information that is legally-privileged) relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and

(iii) provide for a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

(4) If the claim is subsequently also denied by the Review Panel, in whole or in part, then the Claimant shall be furnished with a denial notice that shall contain the following:

(i) specific reason(s) for the denial;

(ii) reference to the specific Plan provision(s) on which the denial is based; and

(iii) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following the denial on review.

(5) The decision on review shall be issued within sixty (60) days following receipt of the request for review.  The period for decision may, however, be extended up to one hundred twenty (120) days after such receipt if the Review Panel determines that special circumstances require extension.  In the case of an extension, notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial sixty (60)-day period.  In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of such initial period.  The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the benefits determination.

(6) Special Procedure for Claims Due to Disability.  To the extent an application for distribution as a result of a Disability requires the Committee or the Review Panel, as applicable, to make a determination of Disability under the terms of the Plan, then such determination shall be subject to all of the general rules described in this Article, except as they are expressly modified by this Section.

(i) The initial decision on the claim for a Disability distribution will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan receives the Claimant’s claim, unless special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Committee will notify the Claimant before the end of the initial forty-five (45)-day period of an extension of up to thirty (30) days.  If necessary, the Committee may notify the Claimant, prior to the end of the initial thirty (30)-day extension period, of a second extension of up to thirty (30) days.  If an extension is due to the Claimant’s failure to supply the necessary information, then the notice of extension will describe the additional information and the Claimant will have forty-five (45) days to provide the additional information.  Moreover, the period for making the determination will be delayed from the date the notification of extension was sent out until the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.  No additional extensions may be made, except with the Claimant’s voluntary consent.  The contents of the notice shall be the same as described in Section 11(A)(2) above.  If a disability distribution claim is denied in whole or in part, then the Claimant will receive notification, as described in Section 11(A)(2).

Page12 of 16

(7) If an internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion is relied upon in making the adverse determination, then the denial notice to the Claimant will either set forth the internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion, or will state that such was relied upon and will be provided free of charge to the Claimant upon request (to the extent not legally-privileged) and if the Claimant’s claim was denied based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, then the Claimant will be provided a statement either explaining the decision or indicating that an explanation will be provided to the Claimant free of charge upon request.

(8) Any Claimant whose application for a Disability distribution is denied in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting to the Review Panel a request for a review of the application within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receiving notice of the denial.  The request for review shall be in the form and manner prescribed by the Review Panel.  In the event of such an appeal for review, the provisions of Section 11(A)(3) regarding the Claimant’s rights and responsibilities shall apply.  Upon request, the Review Panel will identify any medical or vocational expert whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Review Panel in connection with the denial, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the determination.  The entity or individual appointed by the Review Panel to review the claim will consider the appeal de novo, without any deference to the initial denial.  The review will not include any person who participated in the initial denial or who is the subordinate of a person who participated in the initial denial.

(9) If the initial Disability distribution denial was based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, then the Review Panel will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, and who was neither consulted in connection with the initial determination nor is the subordinate of any person who was consulted in connection with that determination; and upon notifying the Claimant of an adverse determination on review, include in the notice either an explanation of the clinical basis for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request.

(10) A decision on review shall be made promptly, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing.  If an extension is required, the Claimant will be notified before the end of the initial forty-five (45)-day period that an extension of time is required and the anticipated date that the review will be completed.  A decision will be given as soon as possible, but not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a request for review.  The Review Panel shall give notice of its decision to the Claimant; such notice shall comply with the requirements set forth in paragraph (h) above.  In addition, if the Claimant’s claim was denied based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion, then the Claimant will be provided a statement explaining the decision, or a statement providing that such explanation will be furnished to the Claimant free of charge upon request.  The notice shall also contain the following statement:  “You and your Plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation.  One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.”

B. Exhaustion of Claims Procedure and Right to Bring Legal Claim

No action in law or equity shall be brought more than one (1) year after the Review Panel’s affirmation of a denial of the claim, or, if earlier, more than four (4) years after the facts or events giving rise to the Claimant’s allegation(s) or claim(s) first occurred.
