“2.01 Eligibility

Each employee shall be eligible to become a Participant on any Enrollment Date next following the date on which he or she complete six months (three months, effective on and after January 1, 2014) of employment with the Company or Affiliated Company, provided he or she is then (i) an Employee, except as otherwise provided in Appendix A, and (ii) ineligible to participate in another defined contribution savings plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company.”

“(a)  With respect to Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2014, the Company shall contribute on behalf of a Participant who elects to make Deferred Cash Contributions, Employee Contributions and/or Catch-up Contributions, an amount equal to (i) 100 percent of the first 2 percent of Compensation, plus (ii) 25 percent of the next 4 percent of Compensation so contributed to the Plan on behalf of or by the Participant during each payroll period, in the following order of priority: (a) Deferred Cash Contributions, then (b) Employee Contributions, and then (c) Catch- up Contributions.

With respect to Plan Years commencing on January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2019, the Company shall contribute on behalf of a Participant who elects to make Deferred Cash Contributions, Employee Contributions and/or Catch-up Contributions, an amount equal to (i) 25 percent of the first 6 percent of Compensation so contributed to the Plan on behalf of or by the Participant during each payroll period, in the following order of priority: (a) Deferred Cash Contributions, then (b) Employee Contributions, and then (c) Catch-up Contributions. In no event, however, shall the Company Contributions pursuant to this Section with respect to Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2019 exceed 1.5 percent of the Participant’s Compensation paid while a Participant with respect to a particular Plan Year.

With respect to Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2020, the Company shall contribute on behalf of a Participant who elects to make Deferred Cash Contributions, Employee Contributions and/or Catch-up Contributions, an amount equal to (i) 100 percent of the first 3 percent of Compensation, plus (ii) 50 percent of the next 3 percent of Compensation so contributed to the Plan on behalf of or by the Participant during each payroll period, in the following order of priority: (a) Deferred Cash Contributions, then (b) Employee Contributions, and then (c) Catch- up Contributions. In no event, however, shall the Company Contributions pursuant to this Section with respect to Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2020 exceed 4.5 percent of the Participant’s Compensation paid while a Participant with respect to a particular Plan Year.”

“Effective with respect to Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2020, if as of the last day of the Plan Year the amount of Company Contributions allocated to a Participant’s Company Contribution Account for such Plan Year is less than 100 percent of the first 3 percent of Compensation plus 50 percent of the next 3 percent of Compensation contributed to the Plan by or on behalf of the Participant as Deferred Cash Contributions, Employee Contributions and/or Catch-up Contributions for such Plan Year, the Company shall make an additional "true-up" Company Contribution on behalf of such Participant in an amount equal to the difference. Such true-up Company Contribution shall be credited to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year. The true-up Company Contribution described in the preceding sentence shall also be made with respect to a Participant who terminates employment during the Plan Year and such true-up Company Contribution shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment or, if so determined by the Benefits Administration Board, the date the Participant terminates employment with the Company and all Affiliated Companies, if earlier.”
