Prior to January 1, 2012, for each month in a Plan Year, a Participant’s Account was credited with investment earnings at a rate equal to 1/12 of the rate published as Moody’s Composite Average Yield on Long-Term Corporate Bonds as of November of the preceding Plan Year. Such rate was applied to the Participant’s Account balance as of the first day of the month reduced by any payments made from the Participant’s Account during the month.

Effective on and after January 1, 2012 and prior to June 15, 2017, a Participant’s Account was invested as follows:

If the Participant had an account in the 40l(k) Plan, such Participant’s Account was deemed to be invested in accordance with the investment elections in effect for future contributions under the 401(k) Plan (including any default election in effect under the terms of the 401(k) Plan) unless and until the Participant made a different investment election for his or her Account, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator.

If the Participant did not have an account in the 401(k) Plan, such Participant’s Account was deemed to be invested in accordance with the default investment election under the terms of the 401(k) Plan unless and until the Participant made a different investment election for his or her Account, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator.

Effective on and after June 15, 2017, each Employee-Participant may invest his or her Account in the investments available under the Plan in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator. In the absence of such election, such Employee-Participant’s Account will be deemed to be invested in the Plan’s Money Market fund.

Effective on and after March 8, 2018, each Director-Participant may invest his or her Account attributable to his or her Director Fee Deferral Contributions in the investments available under the Plan in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Administrator. In the absence of such

VESTING OF ACCOUNTS.

Employee-Participant. An Employee-Participant will be 100% vested in his or her Account at all times.

Director-Participant. A Director-Participant will be 100% vested in his or her Account with respect to Director-Fee Deferral Contributions at all times. A Director-Participant’s Account attributable to an RSU Deferral Contribution will become vested in accordance with the terms of the underlying RSU.

RECORD KEEPING. The Administrator will maintain, or cause to be maintained, records showing the individual balance of each Participant’s Account. The Administrator may make available benefit statements reflecting the current amount in the Participant’s Account to be available and distributed to each Participant on an ongoing basis.

OBLIGATION LIMITED TO ACCOUNT. The Company will have no additional obligation to the Participant under this Plan beyond the amounts credited to the Participant's Account(s) in accordance with this Article 3.

PAYMENT UPON DISTRIBUTION EVENT. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 4, the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, in the event of the Participant’s death or presumed death) will be entitled to receive all amounts credited to his or her Account in accordance with the terms of his or her elections, payable in accordance with Section 4.2, upon the Participant’s Distribution Date. Except with respect to RSU Deferral Contributions, distributions will be made solely in cash.

ADMINISTRATION OF PAYMENTS. Distribution of a lump sum or the first installment will be made or commence as soon as is reasonably practical following the Distribution Date, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year of the Distribution Date. Subsequent installments, if any, will be made on the succeeding anniversary dates of the Distribution Date, or as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year of the anniversary of the Distribution Date. Where a distribution is made in the form of installments, the amount of each installment will be calculated by dividing the Participant’s Account balance, including any earnings or losses, as of the date of the distribution by the number of installments remaining. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment will be treated as a separate payment.

PAYMENT UPON DEATH. In the event of a Participant’s death or presumed death, the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the date of death or presumed death, regardless of the form of benefit elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5, if the Participant’s Account is being paid in installments, and the Participant dies after payment has begun but prior to receipt of all remaining installments, the Participant’s Beneficiary will continue to receive payment at the same time and in the same manner as the Participant would have received payment. In the event of the Beneficiary’s death prior to receipt of lump-sum payment or all remaining installments, the payment will be made to the Beneficiary’s estate in a single lump sum.

METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of a Participant’s Account will be made in accordance with the method or methods specified in the Participant’s Election Form or Election Forms.

DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of one or more persons, trusts or other recipients as the Beneficiary who will be entitled to receive the Participant’s Account under the Plan upon the Participant’s death or presumed death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change a Beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Administrator. The last such designation received by the Administrator will be controlling; provided however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, will be effective unless received by the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death or presumed death, and in no event will it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Participant’s death or presumed death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s Account will be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, and otherwise to the estate of the Participant. Any benefits payable to the estate of the Participant will be paid in a lump sum.

SMALL ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant’s total Account attributable to either (i) total Cash Deferral Elections (and earnings or losses) or (ii) vested RSU Deferral Contributions, does not exceed $50,000 on the date on which the Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of his or her Account, such Account will constitute a Small Account. A Small Account will be paid in a single lump sum regardless of the Participant’s elections with respect to his or her Cash Deferral Elections and/or RSU Deferral Contributions (as applicable) under Section 3.4(b).

PERMITTED ACCELERATION OF PAYMENTS. To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A and related Regulations and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may commence distribution to the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary or other appropriate payee the portion of the Participant’s Account authorized for distribution in accordance with Code Section 409A and related Regulations, including the following:

de minimis cash-out payments that result in the termination of the entirety of a Participant’s interest in the Plan, if:

the payment is made on or before the later of December 31 of the Plan Year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service or the date that is 2½ months after the Participant’s Separation from Service and

the payment is not greater than $10,000;

payment to Participant to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax imposed under Code Section 3101 and 3121(v)(2) on compensation deferred under the Plan, grossed up as permitted under applicable Regulations; and

on account of all or any portion of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan becoming taxable to the Participant or Beneficiary prior to actual receipt because the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

DELAY OF PAYMENTS SUBJECT TO CODE SECTION 162(m). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a payment otherwise payable under this Plan will be delayed if the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company’s deduction with respect to such payment otherwise would be eliminated or limited by application of Code Section 162(m). In the event of such delay in payment, actual payment will be made at the earliest date the Company anticipates that the deduction of the payment amount will not be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section 162(m), or upon the Participant’s Distribution Date, if sooner.

PARTICIPANTS’ RIGHTS UNSECURED. The right of the Participant or his or her Beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder will be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company, and neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiary will have any rights in or against any amount credited to his or her Account or any other specific assets of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the Trust. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Plan and the Company or any other person.

TRUST AGREEMENT. The Company may establish a Trust for the purpose of retaining assets set aside by the Company pursuant to the Trust Agreement for payment of all or a portion of the amounts payable pursuant to the Plan. Any benefits not paid from the Trust will be paid solely from the Company’s general funds, and any benefits paid from the Trust will be credited against the Company’s liability to the Participants under the Plan. No special or separate fund, other than the Trust Agreement, will be established and no other segregation of assets will be made to assure the payment of any benefits hereunder. All Trust Funds will be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company in the event the Company is insolvent (as that term is defined in the Trust Agreement). The obligations of the Company to pay benefits under the Plan constitute an unfunded, unsecured promise to pay and Participants will have no greater rights than general creditors of the Company. Trust assets will not, at any time, be located outside of the United States or be transferred outside of the United States, whether or not such assets are available to satisfy claims of general creditors.

NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. The establishment of the Plan will not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor will it interfere with the rights of the Company to discharge any person and to treat any person without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon the person as a Participant of the Plan.

FACILITY OF PAYMENT. In the event that the Administrator will find that a Participant is unable to care for the Participant’s affairs because of illness or accident, the Administrator may direct that any benefit payment due the Participant, unless claim will have been made therefor by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid to the Participant’s spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom the Participant resides, and any such payment so made will be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan therefor.

WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Administrator will have the right to cause deductions from each payment to be made under the Plan for any required withholding taxes. In the event employment tax liability is assessed on amounts paid or payable under this Plan, the Administrator will have the right to cause deductions from the payment or from the Participant’s other Compensation any required employee portion of the employment tax liability.

NONALIENATION. Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so will be void, nor will any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or any liability for alimony or other payments for the support of a spouse or former spouse, or for any other relative of any Participant.

CONSTRUCTION. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Except to the extent superseded by federal law, all rights hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. The Plan will be construed to effectuate its purpose and the Company’s intent that the Plan be

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, neither Company, any affiliate of the Company, nor any individual acting as employee or agent of the Company will be liable to any Participant, former Participant or other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan. Neither the Company, any affiliate of the Company, nor the Administrator undertakes any responsibility to any Participant for the tax consequences of a particular Participant’s election to defer Compensation under this Plan.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. All expenses of administering this Plan will be paid by the Company and no part of the expenses or taxes on the Company or an affiliate of the Company will be charged against any Participant’s Account or any benefits distributed under the Plan.
