Appendix A

The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to Directors and a select group of management or highly compensated Employees who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any, that participate in this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

The provisions of the Plan as herein amended and restated shall apply with respect to all amounts deferred, credited or transferred to this Plan on or after January 1, 2005. Unless otherwise changed in accordance with the terms of this Plan and Code Section 409A (i) all elections made prior to the date on which this amended and restated Plan is executed shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) the payment of all amounts deferred, credited or transferred hereunder prior to the execution of this amended and restated Plan (as adjusted for amounts credited or debited to such amounts pursuant to this Plan less all distributions that relate to such amounts) shall be made in accordance with the time and form of payment as provided under the Plan and any applicable election as in effect prior to the execution of this amended and restated Plan.

For the purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:

The Annual Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

Plan; provided, however, that any such additional benefits or benefit limitations must be agreed to by both the Company and the Participant.

2.1.Selection by Committee. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Directors, Employees of an Employer at the level of Vice President and above, Area Presidents, Employee Directors, General Managers and such others as may be designated by the Committee, provided that any such Employee is included in a select group of management or highly compensated employees of an Employer.

(a)As a condition to participation, each Director or selected Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan effective as of the first day of a Plan Year shall complete, execute and return to the Committee a Plan Agreement, an Election Form and a Beneficiary Designation Form, prior to the first day of such Plan Year, or such other earlier deadline as may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. In addition, the Committee shall establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary.

(b)A Director or selected Employee who first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after the first day of a Plan Year will only become eligible to participate in this Plan as of the first day of a future calendar quarter. Such Director or Employee must complete, execute and return to the Committee a Plan Agreement, an Election Form, and a Beneficiary Designation Form no later than thirty (30) days after he or she first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, or within such other earlier deadline as may be established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to participate for that Plan Year. In such event, such person’s participation in this Plan shall not commence earlier than the date determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and such person shall not be permitted to defer under this Plan any portion of his or her Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and/or Director Fees that are paid with respect to services performed prior to his or her participation commencement date, except to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations.

(c)Each Director or selected Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan shall commence participation in the Plan on the date that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Director or Employee has met all Plan enrollment requirements,

including returning all required documents to the Committee within the specified time period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall process such Participant’s deferral election as soon as administratively practicable after such deferral election is submitted to and accepted by the Committee.

(d)If a Director or an Employee fails to meet all requirements contained in this Section 2.2 within the period required, that Director or Employee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Plan Year.

(a)Annual Deferral Amount. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and/or Director Fees in the following minimum amounts for each deferral elected:

If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, prior to the beginning of a Plan Year that a Participant has made an election for less than the stated minimum amounts, or if no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero. A Participant may elect to defer his or her Equity-Based Incentive Awards in accordance with Sections 3.3(e) and (f), as applicable.

(b)Short Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first
becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, the minimum Annual Deferral Amount shall be an amount equal to the minimum set forth above, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete months remaining in the Plan Year and the denominator of which is 12.

(a)Annual Deferral Amount. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and/or Director Fees up to the following maximum percentages for each deferral elected:

(b)Short Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, the maximum Annual Deferral Amount shall be limited to the amount of compensation not yet earned by the Participant as of the date the Participant submits a Plan Agreement and Election Form to the Committee for acceptance, except to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations. For compensation that is earned based upon a specified performance period, the Participant’s deferral election will apply to the portion of such compensation that is equal to (i) the total amount of compensation for the performance period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the service period after the Participant’s deferral election is made, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period.

(a)First Plan Year. In connection with a Participant’s commencement of participation in the Plan, the Participant shall make an irrevocable election to defer Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and Director Fees for the Plan Year in which the Participant commences participation in the Plan, along with such other elections as the Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan. For these elections to be valid, the Election Form must be completed and signed by the Participant, timely delivered to the Committee (in accordance with Section 2.2 above) and accepted by the Committee.

(b)Subsequent Plan Years. A Participant’s election to defer Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and Director Fees shall remain in effect for subsequent Plan Years, unless and until the Participant timely files a new Election Form to notify the Committee of the change (including ceasing deferrals) in the election to defer Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and Director Fees. All changes and elections shall be made by the Participant timely delivering a new Election Form, and any other forms as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable, to the Committee, in accordance with its rules and procedures, before the December 31st preceding the Plan Year in which such compensation is earned with respect to which the termination or modification applies, or before such other deadline established by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations.

Any deferral election(s) made in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that if the Committee requires Participants to make a deferral election for “performance-based compensation” by the deadline(s) described above, it may, in its sole discretion, and in accordance with Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations, permit a Participant to subsequently change his or her deferral election for such compensation by submitting an Election Form to the Committee no later than the deadline established by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.3(c) below.

(c)Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that an irrevocable deferral election pertaining to “performance-based compensation” based on services performed over a period of at least twelve (12) months, may be made by timely delivering an Election Form to the Committee, in accordance with its rules and procedures, no later than six (6) months before the end of the performance service period. “Performance-based compensation” shall be compensation, the

payment or amount of which is contingent on pre-established organizational or individual performance criteria, which satisfies the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations. In order to be eligible to make a deferral election for performance-based compensation, a Participant must perform services continuously from a date no later than the date upon which the performance criteria for such compensation are established through the date upon which the Participant makes a deferral election for such compensation.

(d)Compensation Subject to Risk of Forfeiture. With respect to compensation (i) to which a Participant has a legally binding right to payment in a subsequent year, and (ii) that is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least twelve (12) months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that an irrevocable deferral election for such compensation may be made by timely delivering an Election Form to the Committee in accordance with its rules and procedures, no later than the 30th day after the Participant obtains the legally binding right to the compensation, provided that the election is made at least twelve (12) months in advance of the earliest date on which the forfeiture condition could lapse (other than by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or Change in Control).

(e)Equity-Based Incentive Award Deferral Election. A Participant may, in accordance with such rules and procedures established by the Committee, elect to defer all or part of an Equity-Based Incentive Award and instead be credited with a corresponding number of units in the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund (or, in the case of a cash-settled Equity-Based Incentive Award, in the Measurement Funds selected by the Participant in accordance with Section 3.9(b)). To be effective, such an election must be irrevocable and must be made either (i) prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which the Equity-Based Incentive Award is granted, or (ii) within thirty (30) days after the Equity-Based Incentive Award is granted, provided that the election is made at least twelve (12) months in advance of the earliest date on which the Equity-Based Incentive Award could vest (other than by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or Change in Control). The amount deferred pursuant to this Section 3.3(e) shall be considered an Annual Deferral Amount.

(f)Multiple Election Forms. If and to the extent permitted by the Committee, a Participant shall be permitted to make separate elections to defer Base Salary, Bonus, Commission, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and Director Fees for a Plan Year in accordance with the Election Forms provided by the Committee and its rules and procedures provided that each such amount is a separately identifiable payment and the elections are made in accordance with the provisions of this Article III. If and to the extent permitted by the Committee, each separate election may provide a form or time of payment otherwise permitted or provided for under Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX.

3.4.Withholding and Crediting of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base Salary portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled Base Salary payroll in equal amounts, as adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Salary. The Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards and/or Director Fees portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time the Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards or Director Fees are or otherwise would be paid to the Participant, whether or not this occurs during the Plan Year itself. Annual Deferral Amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Annual Account for such Plan Year at the time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.

(a)For each Plan Year, the Company may be required to credit amounts to a Participant’s Annual Account in accordance with employment or other agreements entered into

between the Participant and an Employer, which amounts shall be part of the Participant’s Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. Such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Annual Account for the applicable Plan Year on the date or dates prescribed by such agreements.

(b)For each Plan Year, the Company, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any Participant’s Annual Account under this Plan, which amount shall be part of the Participant’s Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive a Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The Company Contribution Amount described in this Section 3.5(b), if any, shall be credited to the Participant’s Annual Account for the applicable Plan Year on a date or dates to be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

3.6.Company Restoration Matching Amount. A Participant’s Company Restoration Matching Amount for any Plan Year shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) of the Participant’s Plan Compensation for such Plan Year in excess of the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit (which is $350,000 for 2025 and as adjusted thereafter), or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amount (excluding stock-settled Equity-Based Incentive Awards that a Participant defers in accordance with Article III) for such year. The Participant’s Company Restoration Matching Amount, if any, shall be credited to and distributed with the Participant’s Annual Account (or, as applicable, component thereof) for the applicable Plan Year on a date or dates to be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Company Restoration Matching Amount shall be credited in the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund in the 2005 Plan Year and in cash in all future Plan Years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Restoration Matching Amount shall not be credited to any Participant who is a Director.

3.7.Crediting of Amounts after Benefit Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, should the complete distribution (other than a distribution pursuant to Section 4.4) of a Participant’s vested Account Balance occur prior to the date on which any portion of (i) the Annual Deferral Amount that a Participant has elected to defer in accordance with Section 3.3, (ii) the Company Contribution Amount, or (iii) the Company Restoration Matching Amount, would otherwise be credited to the Participant’s Account Balance, such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Account Balance and distributed in accordance with the form and time of distribution that is applicable to the amount so credited (and to the extent the time of distribution has occurred, within sixty (60) days of the date of such crediting).

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.8(g), a Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in the portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to his or her deferrals of Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions, Equity-Based Incentive Awards, LTIP Amounts, SIP Amounts and Director Fees as adjusted for amounts credited or debited on such amounts (pursuant to Section 3.9).

(b)A Participant shall be vested in the portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to any Company Contribution Amounts, adjusted for amounts credited or debited on such amounts (pursuant to Section 3.9), in accordance with the vesting schedule(s) set forth with respect to this Plan in his or her Plan Agreement, employment agreement or any other agreement between the Participant and his or her Employer. If not addressed in such agreements, a Participant shall 100% vest in his or her portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to any

Company Contribution Amounts, adjusted for amounts credited or debited on such amounts (pursuant to Section 3.9), if such Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated due to Retirement, death, Disability, or by the Company for other than Cause. Amounts which are not vested upon Separation from Service with all Employers under circumstances set forth in this Section 3.8(b) shall be forfeited at the time of such Separation from Service.

(c)A Participant shall be vested in the portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to any Company Restoration Matching Amounts and Company Additional Matching Amounts, adjusted for amounts credited or debited on such amounts (pursuant to Section 3.9), only to the extent that the Participant would be vested in such amounts, if any, under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan applicable to the vesting of matching contributions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.8, in the event of a Change in Control, prior to a Participant’s Separation from Service, any amounts that are not vested in accordance with Section 3.8(b) or 3.8(c) above, shall immediately become 100% vested.

(e)Notwithstanding Section 3.8(d) above, the vesting schedules described in Sections 3.8(b) and 3.8(c) shall not be accelerated upon a Change in Control to the extent that the Committee determines that such acceleration would cause the deduction limitations of Code Section 280G to become effective. The portion not so vested shall continue to be subject to the vesting provisions of this Plan. In the event of such a determination, the Participant may dispute the Committee’s determination with respect to the application of Code Section 280G in which case the Committee must provide to the Participant within ninety (90) days of such a request an opinion from a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Participant (the “Accounting Firm”). The opinion shall state the Accounting Firm’s opinion that any limitation in the vested percentage hereunder is necessary to avoid the limits of Code Section 280G and contain supporting calculations. The cost of such opinion shall be paid for by the Company.

(f)If a Participant defers compensation that is subject to an agreement that has vesting or forfeiture provisions, the portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to such compensation remains subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in the agreement.

3.9.Crediting/Debiting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s Account Balance in accordance with the following rules:

(a)Measurement Funds. Subject to the restrictions found in Section 3.9(c) below, the Participant may elect one or more of the measurement funds selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, which are based on certain mutual funds or the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund described in Section 3.9(d) below (collectively, the “Measurement Funds”), for the purpose of crediting or debiting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance. As necessary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prospectively discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund.

(b)Election of Measurement Funds. Subject to the restrictions found in Section 3.9(c) below, and the provisions contained in Section 3.9(d) below, a Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.3(a) above, may elect to allocate any portion of his or her future Annual Deferral Amounts (other than any amounts that are required to be allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund), Company Contribution Amounts, Company Restoration Matching Amounts and Company Additional Matching Amounts, and/or re-allocate any portion of his or her Account Balance (other than any

amounts that are required to be allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund) to one or more of the Measurement Funds to be used to determine the amounts to be credited or debited to his or her Account Balance. If a Participant does not elect any of the Measurement Funds as described in the previous sentence, the Participant’s Account Balance shall automatically be allocated into the default Measurement Fund, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Subject to the restrictions found in Section 3.9(c) below, the Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Committee that is accepted by the Committee, to add or delete one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the amounts to be credited or debited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply, except to the extent provided in Section 3.9(d) below, as of the first business day deemed reasonably practicable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and shall continue thereafter for each subsequent day in which the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the previous sentence; provided, however, if the Participant’s election includes the allocation or re-allocation of amounts to or from the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, process any portion of the Participant’s Election Form which allocates and/or re-allocates such amounts to or from any Measurement Fund other than the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund, while postponing the processing of any portion of the Participant’s Election Form which allocates and/or re-allocates such amounts to or from the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund, as more fully described in Section 3.9(d)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose limitations on the frequency with which one or more of the Measurement Funds elected in accordance with this Section 3.9(b) may be added or deleted by such Participant; furthermore, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose limitations on the frequency with which the Participant may change the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund.

(c)Republic Services Stock Unit Fund.

(i)If a Participant elects, in accordance with such rules and procedures established by the Committee, to defer a stock-settled Equity-Based Incentive Award, the Participant will be automatically and irrevocably credited with a corresponding number of units under the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund (the “Units”) under this Plan. Except as provided in Section 3.9(c)(v), Participants may not select any Measurement Fund to be used to determine the amounts to be credited or debited to their Republic Services Stock Unit Fund. Further, no other portion of the Participant’s Account Balance can be either initially allocated or re-allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund. Except as provided in Section 3.9(c)(v) below, Units allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund on behalf of any Participant shall only be distributable to the Participant in actual shares of Stock equal in number to the number of the Participant’s vested Units. The Units remain subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in the applicable award or other applicable agreement. Any fractional share of Stock shall be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the fractional share of Stock; provided that if the Company determines to allow fractional shares of Stock to be distributed or made available under the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, any fractional share of Stock due under this Plan shall be distributed in the form of a fractional share of Stock.

(ii)Any stock dividends, cash dividends or other non-cash dividends that would have been payable on the stock underlying the deferred award shall be credited to the Participant’s Account Balance in the form of additional Units under the Plan until such Units are forfeited, distributed to the Participant or otherwise reallocated to the Measurement Funds in accordance with Section 3.9(c)(v) below. The number of Units credited to the Participant for a particular stock dividend shall be equal to (A) the number of Units credited to the Participant’s Account Balance as of the dividend payment date, multiplied by (B) the number of additional or fractional shares of Stock actually paid as a dividend in respect of each share of Stock. The number of Units credited to the Participant for a particular cash dividend or non-cash dividend other than a Stock dividend shall be equal to (x) the number of Units credited to the Participant’s Account Balance as of the dividend payment date, multiplied by (y) the fair market value of the dividend, divided by (z) the “fair market value” of the Stock on the dividend payment date. Any additional Units credited pursuant to this Section 3.9(c)(ii) shall be credited effective the day following the date the dividend was paid, and shall have the same status, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including without limitation the vesting and forfeiture provisions) applicable to the Units to which they relate.

(iii)The number of Units credited to the Participant’s Account Balance shall be adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights with respect to the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund in the event of any reorganization, reclassification, stock split, or other unusual corporate transaction or event which affects the value of the Stock, provided that any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of Units to the Participant under Section 3.9.

(iv)For purposes of this Section 3.9(c), the fair market value of the Stock shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(v)A Participant who Retires on or before October 29, 2013 and is eligible to receive Retirements Benefits in accordance with Article VI may (x) elect at any time following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant's Retirement to reallocate part or all of the portion of the Participant's Account Balance that is allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund to one or more of the Measurement Funds and to thereafter reallocate such amounts among the Measurement Funds in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 3.9 and (y) elect to receive, at such time or times that such amounts are otherwise payable under the Plan, part or all of the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance that is the allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund in cash (rather than shares of Stock) equal to the fair market value of the shares of Stock equal in number to the number of the Participant's Units under the Plan that are being distributed in cash. The number of Units credited to a Participant's Account Balance shall be reduced if and to the extent the Participant elects to

reallocate amounts allocated to the Stock Unit Fund to the Measurement Funds or the Participant elects a distribution of cash for amounts allocated to the Stock Unit Fund. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish rules and procedures setting forth the method and timing of making any election described in this Section 3.9(c)(v) and the date on which such election shall become effective.

(d)Republic Services Stock Investment Fund.

(i)A Participant may elect to allocate any portion of his or her future Annual Deferral Amounts (other than any amounts that are required to be allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund), Company Contribution Amounts, Company Restoration Matching Amounts and Company Additional Matching Amounts, and/or re-allocate any portion of his or her Account Balance (other than any amounts that are required to be allocated to the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund) to the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish limitations as to the timing and manner of allocations or reallocations into or out of the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.9 the Committee may, in its sole discretion, disallow any allocation or reallocation which is made during a period in which the Participant is prohibited (by Company policy or otherwise) from acquiring or disposing of the Company's equity securities.

(ii)The portion of the Participant’s Account Balance that is allocated to the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund shall be adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, based on the cash equivalent of any stock dividends, cash dividends or other non-cash dividends that would have been payable on the Stock.

(iii)The portion of the Participant’s Account Balance that is allocated to the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund shall be adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights with respect to the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund in the event of any reorganization, reclassification, stock split, or other unusual corporate transaction or event which affects the value of the Stock.

(iv)For purposes of this Section 3.9(d), the fair market value of the Stock shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(v)Amounts allocated to the Republic Services Stock Investment Fund shall only be distributed in cash.

(e)Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.9(b) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of one percent (1%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance or Measurement Fund, as applicable, to be allocated/re-allocated.

(f)Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined on a daily basis based on the manner in which such Participant’s Account Balance has been hypothetically allocated among the Measurement Funds by the Participant.

(g)No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation of his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investments on which the Measurement Funds are based, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured general creditor of the Company to the extent of its obligation under the Plan to pay the Participant’s benefit as determined in Section 16.3.

(a)Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Company and/or Participant’s Employer (as applicable) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions and/or Equity-Based Incentive Awards that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the withholding Employer, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount for amounts required to be withheld and described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) in order to comply with this Section 3.10.

(b)Company Restoration Matching Amounts, Company Additional Matching Amounts and Company Contribution Amounts and Other Amounts. When a Participant becomes vested in a portion of his or her Account Balance attributable to any Company Restoration Matching Amounts, Company Additional Matching Amounts and/or Company Contribution Amounts and/or any other amounts subject to a vesting schedule, the Company and/or Participant’s Employer (as applicable) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Salary, Bonus, Commissions and/or Equity-Based Incentive Awards that is not deferred, in a manner determined by the withholding Employer, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such amounts. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the vested portion of the Participant’s Company Restoration Matching Amount, Company Additional Matching Amount, Company Contribution Amount or any other amounts subject to a vesting schedule for such amounts attributable to employment taxes required to be withheld or that otherwise may be withheld as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi), in order to comply with this Section 3.10.

(c)Distributions. There shall be withheld from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by any Employer, or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company and the trustee of the Trust.

(d)Withholding of Shares. A Participant who receives a distribution from the Republic Services Stock Unit Fund must pay to the Company all federal, state and local

income and other taxes required to be withheld in connection with the distribution of shares of Stock. A Participant may elect by notice to the Committee to satisfy his or her minimum income tax withholding obligation with respect to the distribution of shares of Stock by the Company’s withholding a portion of the shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant, such shares being valued at their fair market value as of the date on which the taxable event that gives rise to the withholding requirement occurs.

4.1.Scheduled Distribution. In connection with each election to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a Scheduled Distribution, in the form of a lump sum payment, from the Plan with respect to all or a portion of the Annual Deferral Amount. The Scheduled Distribution shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the portion of the Annual Deferral Amount the Participant elected to have distributed as a Scheduled Distribution, adjusted for amounts credited or debited in the manner provided in Section 3.9 above on that amount, calculated as of the close of business on or around the date on which the Scheduled Distribution becomes payable, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan, each Scheduled Distribution elected shall be paid out during a sixty (60) day period commencing immediately after the first day of any Plan Year designated by the Participant (the “Scheduled Distribution Date”). The Plan Year designated by the Participant must be at least three (3) Plan Years after the end of the Plan Year to which the Participant’s deferral election relates (or, if later, at least three (3) Plan Years after the end of the Plan Year in which the amount deferred vests), unless otherwise provided on an Election Form approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. By way of example, if a Scheduled Distribution is elected for Annual Deferral Amounts that are earned in the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2027, the earliest Scheduled Distribution Date that may be designated by a Participant would be January 1, 2031, and the Scheduled Distribution would become payable during the sixty (60) day period commencing immediately after such Scheduled Distribution Date.

4.2.Postponing Scheduled Distributions. A Participant may elect to postpone a Scheduled Distribution described in Section 4.1 above, and have such amount paid out during a sixty (60) day period commencing immediately after an allowable alternative distribution date designated by the Participant in accordance with this Section 4.2. In order to make this election, the Participant must submit a new Scheduled Distribution Election Form to the Committee in accordance with the following criteria:

(a)Such Scheduled Distribution Election Form must be submitted to and accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion at least twelve (12) months prior to the Participant’s previously designated Scheduled Distribution Date;

(b)The new Scheduled Distribution Date selected by the Participant must be the first day of a Plan Year, and must be at least five (5) years after the previously designated Scheduled Distribution Date; and

(c)The election of the new Scheduled Distribution Date shall have no effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made.

4.3.Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Scheduled Distributions. Should a Benefit Distribution Trigger Date occur that triggers a benefit under Articles V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX, any Annual Deferral Amount that is subject to a Scheduled Distribution election under Section 4.1 or 4.2 shall not be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 or 4.2, but shall be paid in accordance with the other applicable Article.

4.4.Unforeseeable Emergencies.

(a)If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee to receive a partial or full payout from the Plan, subject to the provisions set forth below.

(b)The payout, if any, from the Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Participant’s vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on or around the date on which the amount becomes payable, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (ii) the amount necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not receive a payout from the Plan to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved (A) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (B) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship or (C) by cessation of deferrals under this Plan.

(c)If the Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a Participant’s petition for payout from the Plan, the Participant shall receive a payout from the Plan within sixty (60) days of the date of such approval, and the Participant’s deferrals under the Plan shall be terminated as of the date of such approval.

5.1.Change in Control Benefit. A Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, shall irrevocably elect on an Election Form whether to (i) receive a Change in Control Benefit upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, which shall be equal to the Participant’s vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business on the date of the Change in Control (if the Account Balance is not valued on the date of the Change in Control, the first date so valued following the Change in Control), as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (ii) to have his or her Account Balance remain in the Plan upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and to have his or her Account Balance remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the Change in Control Benefit, then such Participant’s Account Balance shall remain in the Plan upon a Change in Control and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. If and to the extent permitted by the Committee, a Participant shall be permitted in accordance with such rules and procedures of the Committee to make the Change in Control election described above with respect to the amounts that are properly deferred under each Election Form and shall not be required to make the same election on all Election Forms. If a Participant does not make any election on an Election Form with respect to the payment of the Change in Control Benefit, the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance which is attributable to such Election Form shall remain in the Plan upon a Change in Control and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

5.2.Payment of Change in Control Benefit. The Change in Control Benefit, if any, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum no later than sixty (60) days after the Participant’s Benefit Distribution Trigger Date.

6.1.Retirement Benefit. A Participant who Retires shall receive, as a Retirement Benefit, his or her vested Account Balance excluding those portions, if any, as to which the

Participant has elected to receive installment payments in accordance with Section 6.2(a), in a lump sum calculated as of the first business day coincident with or first following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Retirement. If the Participant has elected installment payments in accordance with Section 6.2(a), the applicable portion of his or her vested Account Balance shall be paid in installments at the time and in the amounts described in Sections 1.6 and 6.2(c). If the Participant has elected to change the form of payment in accordance with Section 6.2(b), the portion of the Participant’s vested Account Balance subject to the election shall be calculated as of the date benefit distribution is to begin pursuant to Section 6.2(b). The provisions of this Article VI apply solely with respect to those Participants who satisfy the applicable requirements for Retirement.

(a)In connection with a Participant’s election(s) to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, the Participant, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee, shall elect, in accordance with such rules and procedures established by the Committee, the form or forms in which his or her Annual Account for such Plan Year will be paid. The Participant may elect to receive each Annual Account in the form of a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to ten (10) years (fifteen (15) years for elections prior to January 1, 2025) from the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date and, if permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect such forms of payment with respect to each separate amount identified and deferred under the Election Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Participant’s election under this Section 6.2(a) would result in a scheduled distribution of any portion of his or her Annual Account attributable to Equity-Based Incentive Awards before the completion of a performance period applicable to such Equity-Based Incentive Awards, such distribution shall be delayed until the year following the completion of such performance period, and any remaining installments shall be shifted to later years in a corresponding fashion. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of an Annual Account (or, if separate elections are permitted, with respect to each component of the Annual Deferral Amount), then the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive such Annual Account (or separate component) as a lump sum.

(b)A Participant may change the time or form of payment for an Annual Account (or if an election was made with respect to a separate component of the Annual Account, the separate component) by submitting an Election Form to the Committee in accordance with the following criteria:

(i)The election to modify the time or form of payment for such Annual Account (or separate component thereof) shall have no effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; and

(ii)The first payment related to such Annual Account (or separate component thereof) shall be delayed at least five (5) years from the originally scheduled Benefit Distribution Trigger Date (or, if permitted by the Committee, and previously elected by the Participant, the anniversary of the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date elected by the Participant) for such Annual Account (or separate component thereof).

For purposes of applying the requirements above, the right to receive an Annual Account (or separate component thereof) in installment payments shall be treated as the entitlement to a single payment.

(c)A lump sum payment shall be made on the first business day coincident with or first following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Retirement. Installment payments shall commence on the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date (or, if permitted by the Committee, on the anniversary of the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date elected by the Participant); provided, however, any installments due prior to the first business day coincident with or first following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Retirement shall be paid on the first business day coincident with or first following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Retirement. Remaining installments, if any, shall continue in accordance with the Participant’s election for each Annual Account (or separate component thereof) and shall be paid no later than sixty (60) days after each anniversary of the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date (or, if permitted by the Committee, each anniversary of the anniversary of the Benefit Distribution Trigger Date elected by the Participant).

7.1.Termination Benefit. A Participant who experiences a Termination of Employment shall receive, as a Termination Benefit, his or her entire vested Account Balance, calculated as of the date as of which the Participant’s benefit is distributed as set forth in Section 7.2. The unvested portion of his or her Account Balance shall be forfeited on the date of his or her Termination of Employment.

(a)The Participant’s vested Account Balance attributable to the Company Contribution Amount shall be distributed as a single lump sum payment on the earlier of:

(i)The date the Participant would have been eligible for Retirement if the Participant had continued in the service of an Employer; or

(ii)The five (5) year anniversary date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

(b)The Participant’s vested Account Balance, other than the amount attributable to the Company Contribution Amount, shall be distributed to the Participant on the first business day coincident with or first following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

(c)Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary, no payment under this Section 7.2 shall be made prior to the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

8.1.Disability Benefit. Upon a Participant’s Disability, the Participant shall receive a Disability Benefit, which shall be equal to the Participant’s vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business coincident with or first following the date of the Participant’s Disability.

8.2.Payment of Disability Benefit. The Disability Benefit shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum payment no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Participant’s Disability.

9.1.Death Benefit. The Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall receive a Death Benefit upon the Participant’s death which will be equal to the Participant’s vested Account Balance, calculated as of the close of business coincident with or first following the Participant’s date of death.

9.2.Payment of Death Benefit. The Death Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) in a single lump sum payment no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Participant’s death.

10.1.Distributions from USE Plan Accounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, and except with respect to Sections 4.2 and 4.4, any amounts attributable to a Participant’s account under the USE Plan shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the USE Plan as in effect on December 31, 2022.

11.1.Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the death of the Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.

11.2.Beneficiary Designation; Change; Spousal Consent. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Participant names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Committee, executed by such Participant’s spouse and returned to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death.

11.3.Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent.

11.4.No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary in accordance with this Article XI or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under this Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate.

11.5.Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Company to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.

12.1.Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, and such leave of absence does not constitute a Separation from Service, as determined by the Committee, (i) the Participant shall continue to be considered eligible for the benefits provided in Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX in accordance with the provisions of those Articles, and (ii) the Annual Deferral Amount shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.3.

12.2.Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is on unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer for any reason, and such leave of absence does not constitute a Separation from Service as determined by the Committee, such Participant shall continue to be eligible for the benefits provided in Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. The Annual Deferral Amount for the Plan Year of his or her return shall remain in effect.

12.3.Leaves Resulting in Separation from Service. In the event that a Participant’s leave of absence from his or her Employer constitutes a Separation from Service, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s vested Account Balance shall be distributed to the Participant in accordance with Article VI or VII of this Plan, as applicable.

13.1.Termination of Plan. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, the Company reserves the right to Terminate the Plan. In the event the Company Terminates the Plan, the Measurement Funds available to Participants following the Termination of the Plan shall be comparable in number and type to those Measurement Funds available to Participants in the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Termination of the Plan is effective. Following a Termination of the Plan, Participant Account Balances shall remain in the Plan until the Participant becomes eligible for the benefits provided in Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. The Termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may terminate and liquidate the Plan in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

(a)The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made.

(b)An Employer may cease to be a participating Employer in the Plan at any time. In the event that an Employer ceases to be a participating Employer, Participant Account Balances for Participants of such Employer shall remain in the Plan until the Participant becomes

eligible for the benefits provided in Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX in accordance with the provisions of those Articles. The cessation of an Employer’s status as a participating Employer shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may terminate and liquidate the Plan in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

13.3.Plan Agreement. Despite the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2 above, if a Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that are not in this Plan document, the Company may only amend or terminate such provisions with the written consent of the Participant.

13.4.Effect of Payment. The full payment of the Participant’s vested Account Balance under Articles IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, or IX of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan, and the Participant’s Plan Agreement shall terminate.

14.1.Committee Duties. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 14, this Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Members of the Committee may be Participants under this Plan. The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan, and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions, including benefit entitlement determinations and interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with this Plan. Any individual serving on the Committee who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant or an Employer.

14.2.Administration Upon Change In Control. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following a Change in Control, the individuals who comprised the Committee immediately prior to the Change in Control (whether or not such individuals are members of the Committee following the Change in Control) may, by written consent of the majority of such individuals, appoint an independent third party administrator (the “Administrator”) to perform any or all of the Committee’s duties described in Section 14.1 above, including without limitation, the power to determine any questions arising in connection with the administration or interpretation of the Plan, and the power to make benefit entitlement determinations. Upon and after the effective date of such appointment, (i) the Company must pay all reasonable administrative expenses and fees of the Administrator, and (ii) the Administrator may only be terminated with the written consent of the majority of Participants with an Account Balance in the Plan as of the date of such proposed termination.

14.3.Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Committee, an Employer or the Administrator, as applicable, may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel.

14.4.Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Committee or Administrator, as applicable, with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

14.5.Indemnity of Committee. All Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee, any Employee to whom the duties of the Committee may be delegated, and the Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Committee, any of its members, any such Employee or the Administrator.

14.6.Employer Information. To enable the Committee and/or Administrator to perform its functions, the Company and each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Committee and/or Administrator, as the case may be, on all matters relating to the Plan, the Trust, the Participants and their Beneficiaries, the Account Balances of the Participants, the compensation of its Participants, the date and circumstances of the Separation of Service of its Participants, and such other pertinent information as the Committee or Administrator may reasonably require.

15.1.Presentation of Claim. Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.

15.2.Notification of Decision. The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a reasonable time, but no later than ninety (90) days after receiving the claim. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written 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 the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. The Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing:

(c)may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

15.4.Decision on Review. The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and no later than sixty (60) days after the Committee receives the Claimant’s written request for a review of the denial of the claim. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial sixty (60) day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. In rendering its decision, the Committee shall take 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. The decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

(a)specific reasons for the decision;

15.5.Legal Action. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article XV is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan.

16.1.Establishment of the Trust. In order to provide assets from which to fulfill its obligations to the Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan, the Company may establish

a trust by a trust agreement with a third party, the trustee, to which the Company may, in its discretion, contribute cash or other property, including securities issued by the Company, to provide for the benefit payments under the Plan.

16.2.Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of this Plan and the Plan Agreement shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Company, Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust.

16.3.Distributions From the Trust. The Company’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Company’s obligations under this Plan.

17.1.Status of Plan. This Plan is intended to be a plan that is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1).

17.2.Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Company or any other Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of an Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Employer. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

17.3.Company’s Liability. The Company, and only the Company, shall be obligated to pay the benefits that are attributable to amounts credited to the Participant’s Account. The Company’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into between the Company and a Participant. The Company shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and his or her Plan Agreement.

17.4.Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

17.5.Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and a Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer, either as an Employee or a Director, or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

17.6.Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

17.7.Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

17.8.Captions. The captions of the articles, Sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.

17.11.Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

17.12.Spouse’s Interest. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.

17.13.Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

17.14.Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of

handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

17.15.Court Order. The Committee is authorized to comply with any court order in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has been named as a party, including any action involving a determination of the rights or interests in a Participant’s benefits under the Plan; provided that the Plan shall be administered in accordance with applicable law and consistent with Code Section 409A. In addition, if necessary to comply with a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), pursuant to which a court has determined that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to such spouse or former spouse.

17.16.Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company’s deduction with respect to any distribution from this Plan would be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Company to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Plan is deductible, the Company may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed from this Plan. Any amounts for which distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.9 above. The delayed amounts (and any amounts credited thereon) shall be distributed to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m).

17.17.Insurance. The Company, on its own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in its sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Company or the trustee of the Trust may choose. The Company or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Company shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Company has applied for insurance.

17.18.Small Amounts. The Committee may, in its discretion, require a mandatory lump sum payment of amounts deferred under the Plan that do not exceed a specified amount, provided that any exercise of the Committee’s discretion is evidenced in writing, no later than the date of such payment, and provided that (a) the payment results in termination and liquidation of the Participant’s interest under the Plan, including all other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2); and (b) the payment is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B).

(a)This Plan shall be administered in a manner that does not violate the requirements of Code Section 409A. Consistent with the foregoing, and in order to transition the

Plan to the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations, the Committee made available to Participants certain transition relief described more fully in Appendix A of this Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any provision of the Plan may cause amounts deferred under the Plan to become immediately taxable to any Participant under Code Section 409A, the Company may (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan, including amendments with retroactive effect, that the Company determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Plan benefits provided by the Plan, and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Company determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations. In no event shall the Company, any Employer, the Committee, or any director, member, officer or employee thereof, be responsible for any tax, penalty, fee or cost attributable to a violation of Code Section 409A.

(b)If any portion of a Participant’s Account Balance under this Plan is required to be included in income by the Participant prior to receipt due to a failure of this Plan to meet the requirement of Code Section 409A, the Participant may petition the Committee or Administrator, as applicable, for a distribution of that portion of his or her Account Balance that is required to be included in his or her income. Upon the grant of such a petition, the grant of which shall be at the Committees’ sole discretion, the Company shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the portion of his or her Account Balance required to be included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, which amount shall not exceed the Participant’s unpaid vested Account Balance under the Plan. If the petition is granted, such distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the Participant’s benefits to be paid under this Plan.

17.1.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has signed this Plan document as of January 1, 2025.

Unless otherwise provided below, the capitalized terms below shall have the same meaning as provided in the Plan.

1.    Opportunity to Make New Distribution Elections. Notwithstanding the required deadline for the submission of an initial distribution election described in Articles IV, V, VI and VII, the Committee may, as permitted by Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance or Regulations, provide a limited period in which Participants may make new distribution elections, by submitting an Election Form on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which in no event shall be later than December 31, 2008. Any distribution election made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee, pursuant to this Section, shall not be treated as a change in the form or timing of a Participant’s benefit payment for purposes of Code Section 409A or the Plan.

The Committee shall interpret all provisions relating to an election submitted in accordance with this Section in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance or Regulations. If any distribution election submitted in accordance with this Section either (i) relates to payments that a Participant would otherwise receive in the calendar year of the election, or (ii) would cause payments to be made in the calendar year of the election, such election shall not be effective.

2.    Former Allied Plan Participants. Effective on such date as determined by the Company, Participant’s accounts under the Allied Plan attributable to pre-January 1, 2009 deferrals and contributions to the Allied Plan, shall be transferred to this Plan and included in such Participant’s Account Balance under this Plan. Unless otherwise changed after such transfer in accordance with the terms of this Plan, the payment of the transferred amounts (as adjusted for amounts credited or debited to such amounts pursuant to this Plan less all distributions that relate to the transferred amounts) shall be made in accordance with the time and form of payment as elected under the Allied Plan even if such time and form of payment is not otherwise permitted under this Plan.
