“(b) Due to IRS Contribution Limit. A Participant shall be immediately eligible to receive an allocation of Company Automatic Contributions for a Plan Year, if and to the extent, such contributions on behalf of the Participant to the Qualified Savings Plan for the Plan Year are limited by the IRS Contribution Limit, and provided further that the Participant has made the maximum elective deferrals to the Qualified Savings Plan permitted under Section 402(g) of the Code for such year. This contribution shall be a percentage of the Participant’s Eligible Earnings up to the IRS Compensation Limit based on the Participant’s date of hire and age as of December 31 of the Plan Year for which the contribution is credited determined under the Company Automatic Contribution formula applicable to the Participant in the Qualified Savings Plan, with respect to Eligible Earnings paid to the Participant once the IRS Contribution Limit is reached, and will stop once the Participant’s Eligible Earnings equal the IRS Compensation Limit for the Plan Year.”

To determine the amount of each installment, the value of the Participant’s Plan Account on the payment date will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the remaining number of scheduled installments.”
13.Effective January 1, 2022, Section 7.4 is hereby amended as follows:
“7.4 Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty (50).
If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before the Participant attains age fifty (50), the full value of the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the Participant in a lump-sum payment in April of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his or her Separation from Service, on the date provided in Section 7.5 below, if later) regardless of any election to change the time or form of distribution.”
