Reg. §1.409A-1(h). In determining whether a Participant has experienced a Separation from Service, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) For a Participant who provides services to an Employer as an employee, except as otherwise provided in part (c) of this Section, a Separation from Service shall occur when such Participant has experienced a termination of employment with such employer. A Participant shall be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and his or her employer reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services will be performed for the employer after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the employer after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed by such Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the employer if the Participant has been providing services to the Employer less than 36 months).

If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Employer shall be treated as continuing intact, provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 6 months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Employer under an applicable statute or by contract. If the period of a military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be considered to be terminated for purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6-month period. In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence shall be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Employer.

(b) For a Participant, if any, who provides services to an Employer as an independent contractor, except as otherwise provided in part (c) of this Section, a Separation from Service shall occur upon the expiration of the contract (or in the case of more than one contract, all contracts) under which services are performed for such Employer, provided that the expiration of such contract(s) is determined by the Committee to constitute a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Participant and such Employer.

(c) For a Participant, if any, who provides services to an Employer as both an employee and an independent contractor, a Separation from Service generally shall not occur until the Participant has ceased providing

services for such Employer as both an employee and as an independent contractor, as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in parts (a) and (b) of this Section, respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this part (c), if a Participant provides services for an Employer as both an employee and as a director, to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(5) the services provided by such Participant as a director shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee, and the services provided by such Participant as an employee shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as a director.

1.33 “Specified Employee” means any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined annually by the Committee in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i). In determining whether a Participant is a Specified Employee, the following provisions will apply:

(a) The Committee’s identification of the individuals who fall within the definition of “key employee” under Code Section 416(i) (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) will be based upon the 12-month period ending on each December 31st (referred to below as the “identification date”). In applying the applicable provisions of Code Section 416(i) to identify such individuals, “compensation” will be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(a) without regard to (i) any safe harbor provided in Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(d), (ii) any of the special timing rules provided in Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(e), and (iii) any of the special rules provided in Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(g); and

(b) Each Participant who is among the individuals identified as a “key employee” in accordance with part (a) of this Section will be treated as a Specified Employee for purposes of this Plan if such Participant experiences a Separation from Service during the 12-month period that begins on the April 1st following the applicable identification date.

1.34 “Termination of Service” shall mean a Participant’s Separation from Service that does not qualify as a Retirement.

1.35 “Years of Service” shall mean a Year of “Vesting Service” as determined under the Ensign Services, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. A partial year of service shall not be treated as a Year of Service under the Plan.

2.1.Enrollment Requirements; Commencement of Participation

(a) As a condition to participation, each Eligible Executive shall complete, execute and return to the Committee the appropriate Participant Elections, as well as such other documentation and information as the Committee reasonably requests, by the deadline(s) established by the Committee. In addition, the Committee shall establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary.

(b) Each Eligible Executive shall commence participation in the Plan on the date that the Committee determines that the Eligible Executive has met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan and required by the Committee, including returning all required documents to the Committee within the specified time period.

(c) If an Eligible Executive fails to meet all requirements established by the Committee within the period required, that Eligible Executive shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Plan Year.

3.1 Elections to Defer Compensation. Elections to defer Compensation shall take the form of a whole percentage of up to a maximum of:

(1)60% of Base Salary, and

(2)100% of Bonuses,

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust for subsequent Plan Years on a prospective basis the maximum deferral percentages described in this Section for one or more types of Compensation (including, without limitation, for particular types of Bonuses) and for one or more subsequent Plan Years; such revised maximum deferral percentages shall be indicated on a Participant Election form approved by the Committee. The Committee may also, in its sole discretion, establish minimum deferral percentages for one or more types of Compensation, including, without limitation, for particular types of Bonuses, and for one or more subsequent Plan Years; such minimum deferral percentages shall be indicated on a Participant Election form approved by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the minimum or maximum deferral percentages be adjusted after the last date on which deferral elections for the applicable type(s) of Compensation must be submitted and become irrevocable in accordance with Section 3.2 below and the requirements of Code Section 409A.

In addition to the deferral types described above, the Committee may permit a Participant to make a 401(k) Refund Offset Amount election for a Plan Year, in accordance with the deferral election timing requirements in Section 3.2 below and as further described in a Participant Election form. The 401(k) Refund Offset Amount deferral shall be in addition to any other deferral of Base Salary elected by the Participant. By way of example, the Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer a 401(k) Refund Offset Amount for the 2019 Plan Year by submitting an election no later than December 31, 2018; such election would provide for an additional deferral of Base Salary in 2019 equal to any refund amount that is distributed to the Participant during the 2019 Plan Year from a plan qualified pursuant to Code Section 401(a) that provides elective deferrals in accordance with Code Section 401(k).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine that one or more types of Compensation shall not be made available for deferral for one or more subsequent Plan Years and, consistent with such determination, the impacted types of Compensation shall not appear on a Participant Election form.

3.2 Timing of Deferral Elections; Effect of Participant Election(s).

(a) General Timing Rule for Deferral Elections. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.2, in order for a Participant to make a valid election to defer Compensation, the Participant must submit Participant Election(s) on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which shall be no later than the December 31st preceding the Plan Year in which such compensation will be earned.

Any deferral election made in accordance with this Section 3.2(a) shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that if the Committee permits or requires Participants to make a deferral election by the deadline described above for an amount that qualifies as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may permit a Participant to subsequently change his or her deferral election for such compensation by submitting new Participant Election(s) in accordance with Section 3.2(c) below.

(b) Timing of Deferral Elections for New Plan Participants. An Eligible Executive who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on or after the beginning of a Plan Year, as determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(a)(7)(ii) and the “plan aggregation” rules provided in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(2), may be permitted to make an election to defer the portion of Compensation attributable to services to be performed after such election is made and becomes irrevocable, provided that the Participant submits Participant Election(s) on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which in no event shall be later than thirty (30) days after the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Such deferral election will be made and applied in accordance with Plan procedures.

If a deferral election made in accordance with this Section 3.2(b) relates to compensation earned based upon a specified performance period, the amount eligible for deferral shall be 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 performance period after the Participant’s deferral election is made and becomes irrevocable, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period.

Any deferral election made in accordance with this Section 3.2(b) shall become irrevocable no later than the 30th day after the date the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

(c) Timing of Deferral Elections for Performance-Based Compensation. Subject to the limitations described below, the Committee may determine that an irrevocable deferral election for an amount that qualifies as Performance-Based Compensation may be made by submitting Participant Election(s) on or before the deadline established by the Committee, which in no event shall be later than six (6) months before the end of the performance period.

In order for a Participant to be eligible to make a deferral election for Performance-Based Compensation in accordance with the deadline established pursuant to this Section 3.2(c), the Participant must have performed services continuously from the later of (i) the beginning of the performance period for such compensation, or (ii) the date upon which the performance criteria for such compensation are established, through the date upon which the Participant makes the deferral election for such compensation. In no event shall a deferral election submitted under this Section 3.2(c) be permitted to apply to any amount of Performance-Based Compensation that has become readily ascertainable.

(d) Applicability of Deferral Elections to Future Plan Years. In order to defer Compensation for a Plan Year, a Participant must submit a separate deferral election with respect to Compensation for such Plan Year by affirmatively filing a Participant Election during the enrollment period established by the Committee prior to the beginning of such Plan Year (or at such other time contemplated under this Section 3.2), which election shall be effective on the first day of the next following Plan Year (unless otherwise specified on the Participant Election).

3.3 Company Contributions. The Company or applicable Employer shall have the discretion to make Company Contributions to the Plan at any time and in any amount on behalf of any Participant. Company Contributions shall be made in the complete and sole discretion of the Company or applicable Employer and no Participant shall have the right to receive any Company Contribution in any particular Plan Year regardless of whether Company Contributions are made on behalf of other Participants. Company Contributions shall only be distributable in the form of a lump sum and, in the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service, shall be distributable on the Payment Date applicable to a Termination of Service, without regard to whether the Participant has satisfied the requirements for Retirement.

3.4 Investment Elections.

(a) Participant Designation. At the time of entering the Plan and/or of making a deferral election under the Plan, the Participant shall designate, on a Participant Election provided by the Committee, the Funds in which the Participant’s Accounts shall be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings and losses to be credited to each Account. The Participant may specify that all or any percentage of his or her Accounts shall be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the Funds selected as alternative investments under the Plan from time to time by the Committee pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. If a Participant fails to make an election among the Funds as described in this section, the Participant’s Account balance shall automatically be allocated into the default Fund, determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. A Participant may change any designation made under this Section as permitted by the Committee by filing a revised election, on a Participant Election provided by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose limitations on the frequency with which one or more of the Funds elected in accordance with this Section 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 Fund.

(b) Investment Funds. The Committee may select, in its sole and absolute discretion, each of the types of commercially available investments communicated to the Participant pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section to be the Funds. The Interest Rate of each such commercially available investment shall be used to determine the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to the Participant’s Account under Article IV. The Participant’s choice among investments shall be

solely for purposes of calculation of the Crediting Rate on Accounts. The Company and the Employers shall have no obligation to set aside or invest amounts as directed by the Participant and, if the Company and/or the Employer elects to invest amounts as directed by the Participant, the Participant shall have no more right to such investments than any other unsecured general creditor.

3.5 Distribution Elections.

(a) Initial Election. At the time of making a deferral election under the Plan, the Participant shall designate the time and form of distribution of deferrals made pursuant to such election (together with any earnings credited thereon) from among the alternatives specified under Article VI for the applicable distribution. At the time of a Participant’s initial enrollment in the Plan, a Participant must elect the form of distribution for a Retirement Account, which shall be deemed the Participant’s “Primary Retirement Account” in the event the Participant is permitted to establish more than one Retirement Account. A new distribution election may be made at the time of subsequent deferral elections with respect to deferrals in Plan Years beginning after the election is made, in accordance with the Participant Election forms. Separate distribution election(s) shall be required for each Plan Year. If no election is made with respect to a deferral election, such amounts shall be deemed to have been allocated to the Participant’s Primary Retirement Account.

(b) Modification of Election. A distribution election with respect to previously deferred amounts may only be changed under the terms and conditions specified in Code Section 409A and this Section. Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, no acceleration of a distribution is permitted. A subsequent election that (i) delays payment or changes the form of payment for a Retirement Account, or (ii) delays payment for a Scheduled Distribution Account shall be permitted if and only if all of the following requirements are met:

(1) the new election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new election is made;

(2) the new election delays payment for at least five (5) years from the date that payment would otherwise have been made, absent the new election; and

(3) in the case of payments made according to a Scheduled Distribution, the new election is made not less than twelve (12) months before the date on which payment would have been made (or, in the case of installment payments, the first installment payment would have been made) absent the new election.

For purposes of application of the above change limitations, installment payments shall be treated as a single payment under Code Section 409A. Election changes made pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Committee and shall comply with all requirements of Code Section 409A.

4.1 Deferral Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain Deferral Accounts for each Participant under the Plan, of which initially at least one (1) shall be a Retirement Account and up to ten (10) shall be Scheduled Distribution Accounts. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit the establishment of one or more additional Retirement Accounts or Scheduled Distribution Accounts, provided that any allocation of deferrals to such Account(s) by Participants shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Plan and Code Section 409A. Each Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“Fund Subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to a Fund designated pursuant to Section 3.4. A Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited as follows:

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after amounts are withheld and deferred from a Participant’s Compensation, the Committee shall credit the Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Accounts with an amount equal to Compensation deferred by the Participant in accordance with the designation under Section 3.4; that is, the portion of the Participant’s deferred Compensation designated to be deemed to be invested in a Fund shall be credited to the Fund Subaccount to be invested in that Fund;

(b) Each business day, each Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Fund Subaccount as of the prior day, less any distributions valued as of the end of the prior day, by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund as determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.4(b); and

(c) In the event that a Participant elects for a given Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation a Scheduled Distribution, all amounts attributed to the deferral of Compensation for such Plan Year shall be accounted for in a manner which allows separate accounting for the deferral of Compensation and investment gains and losses associated with amounts allocated to each such separate Scheduled Distribution.

4.2 Company Contribution Account. The Committee shall establish and maintain a Company Contribution Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be further divided into separate Fund Subaccounts corresponding to the Fund designated pursuant to Section 3.4(a). A Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited as follows:

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after a Company Contribution is made, the Company shall credit the Fund Subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Company Contributions, if any, made on behalf of that Participant, that is, the proportion of the Company Contributions, if any, designated to be deemed to be invested in a certain Fund shall be credited to the Fund Subaccount to be invested in that Fund; and

(b) Each business day, each Fund Subaccount of a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Fund Subaccount as of the prior day, less any distributions valued as of the end of the prior day, by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund as determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.4(b).

4.3 Trust. The Company or applicable Employer shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company or applicable Employer may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s or applicable Employer’s unsecured, general creditors. Benefits paid to the Participant from any such trust or trusts shall be considered paid by the Company or applicable Employer for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Company or applicable Employer under the Plan.

4.4 Statement of Accounts. The Committee shall make available to each Participant electronic statements at least quarterly setting forth the Participant’s Account balance as of the end of each applicable period.

5.1 Vesting of Deferral Accounts. The Participant shall be vested at all times in amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Accounts; provided that if any Compensation deferred was subject to a clawback provision under the underlying incentive or compensation program, such right for the Company or applicable Employer to clawback such amounts from the Participant shall continue in full force and effect.

5.2 Vesting of Company Contribution Account. Amounts credited to the Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be vested upon first satisfying one of the following conditions:

(1) Completing four Years of Service; or

(2) Death while an Employee; or

(3) Incurring a Disability while an Employee.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the circumstances of and/or surrounding the Participant’s Separation from Service constitutes gross misconduct on the part of the Participant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that the Participant’s vested interest in his or her Company Contribution Account shall be forfeited in whole or in such portion as determined solely in the Committee’s discretion.

Upon a Separation from Service, the unvested portion of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be permanently forfeited.

6.1 Retirement Distributions.

(a) Timing and Form of Retirement Distributions. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a Participant’s Retirement, the Distributable Amount credited to (i) the Participant’s Primary Retirement Account established upon commencement of Plan participation, (ii) any additional Retirement Account, if applicable, and (iii) any Scheduled Distribution Accounts that have not commenced distribution as of the date of the Separation from Service, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the applicable Payment Date following the Participant’s Retirement, unless the Participant has made an alternative benefit election on a timely basis to receive a Retirement Account in substantially equal annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years, or in a combination of an initial lump sum of a percentage of the applicable Retirement Account and the remainder in the form of annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. Pursuant to Section 6.5, any un-commenced Scheduled Distribution Accounts as of the date of the Participant’s Retirement will be distributable at the time and in the form applicable to the Primary Retirement Account that was established by the Participant upon commencement of Plan participation. A Participant may change the time and/or form of distribution for any Retirement Account, provided such revised election complies with the requirements of Section 3.5.

(b) Election for Delayed Payment Date. For each Retirement Account, a Participant may submit an affirmative election at the time of the establishment of the Retirement Account to have the Payment Date for such Retirement Account be the first business day of the February that occurs in the second year following the year that includes the date of the Participant’s Retirement. In the absence of such election, the applicable Payment Date for any Retirement Account shall be the first business day of the February that occurs in the year following the year that includes the date of the Participant’s Retirement, subject to any required delay in distribution applicable to a Participant who is determined to be a Specified Employee.

(c) Company Contributions. Upon a Participant’s Retirement, the vested portion of the Company Contribution Account shall be distributable in the form of a lump sum on the Payment Date that would be applicable if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Service.

6.2 Termination Distributions. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service, the Distributable Amount credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account(s), the vested portion of the Company Contribution Account, and any Scheduled Distribution Accounts that have not commenced distribution shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the Payment Date following the Participant’s Termination of Service.

6.3 Disability Distributions. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of a Participant’s Disability prior to Separation from Service, the Distributable Amount credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account(s), the vested portion of the Company Contribution Account, and any Scheduled Distribution Accounts that have not commenced distribution shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the Payment Date following the Participant’s Disability.

6.4 Death Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Participant dies prior to complete distribution of his or her Accounts under the Plan, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive a death benefit equal to the Distributable Amount (or remaining Distributable Amount in the event installment payments have commenced) credited to the Participant’s Deferral Accounts and Company Contribution Account in a lump sum on the Payment Date following the Participant’s death.

6.5 Scheduled Distributions.

(a) Scheduled Distribution Election. Participants shall be entitled to designate one or more Deferral Accounts as Scheduled Distribution Accounts in accordance with Section 3.5. In the case of a Participant who has elected to receive a Scheduled Distribution, on the applicable Payment Date such Participant shall receive the Distributable Amount, with respect to the specified deferrals, including earnings thereon, which have been elected by the Participant to be subject to such Scheduled Distribution election in accordance with Section 3.5. The Committee shall determine the earliest commencement date that may be elected by the Participant for each Scheduled Distribution Account and such date shall be indicated on the Participant Election. Scheduled Distribution Accounts shall only be distributable in the form of a single lump sum. A Participant may delay the commencement of a Scheduled Distribution Account, provided such revised election complies with the requirements of Section 3.5; however, the form of payment for such Scheduled Distribution shall remain a lump sum. By way of clarification, the Company Contribution Account shall not be distributable as a Scheduled Distribution.

(b) Relationship to Other Benefits. In the event of a Participant’s Retirement, Termination of Service, Disability or death prior to the Payment Date for one or more Scheduled Distribution Accounts, such Scheduled Distribution Accounts shall not be distributed under this Section 6.5, but rather shall be distributed in accordance with the other applicable Section of this Article VI. In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, any such Scheduled Distribution Accounts will be distributable at the time and in the form applicable to the Primary Retirement Account that was established by the Participant upon commencement of Plan participation.

6.6 Hardship Distributions.

(a) Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered a Financial Hardship, in accordance with Code Section 409A, the Committee may, at the request of the Participant, accelerate distribution of benefits and/or approve cancellation of deferral elections under the Plan, subject to the following conditions:

(1) The request to take a Hardship Distribution shall be made by filing a form provided by and filed with the Committee prior to the end of any calendar month.

(2) Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered a Financial Hardship in accordance with Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A, the Committee may, at the request of the Participant, accelerate distribution of benefits and/or approve cancellation of current deferral elections under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate such Financial Hardship. The amount distributed pursuant to this Section with respect to the Financial Hardship shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such Financial Hardship, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

(3) The amount (if any) determined by the Committee as a Hardship Distribution shall be paid in a single cash lump sum as soon as practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Hardship Distribution determination is made by the Committee.

(b) In the event a Participant receives a hardship distribution under an Employer’s qualified 401(k) plan pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d)(3), the Committee may (i) cancel the Participant’s current deferral elections under this Plan and/or (ii) preclude the Participant from submitting additional deferral elections pursuant to Article III, to the extent deemed necessary to comply with Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d)(3).

6.7 Limited Cashouts. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, distribute in a mandatory lump sum any Participant’s entire Deferral Accounts and/or Company Contribution Account under the Plan, provided that any such distribution is made in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(v) or its successor (each such payment, a “Limited Cashout”). Specifically, any such Limited Cashout pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be subject to the following requirements:

(a) The Committee’s exercise of discretion to make the Limited Cashout shall be evidenced in writing no later than the date of the lump sum payment;

(b) The lump sum payment shall result in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of the Participant's Deferral Accounts and/or Company Contribution Account under the Plan, as applicable, as well as the Participant’s interest in all other plans, agreements, methods, programs, or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treas. Reg. §1.409A–1(c)(2) with the Account(s) that is being distributed from this Plan; and

    (c) The lump sum payment (and the Participant’s entire interest in any and all other “plans” that would be aggregated with the Account(s) being distributed from this Plan in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A–1(c)(2)) is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) at the time of the Limited Cashout.

Any such Limited Cashout shall be calculated as of the last business day of the month in which the Committee’s determination to make the Limited Cashout occurs, and such lump sum payment shall be made within sixty (60) days following such determination.

7.1 Beneficiaries.

(a) Beneficiary Designation. The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary designation shall be effective when it is submitted to and acknowledged by the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime in the format prescribed by the Committee.

(b) Absence of Valid Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Committee shall deem the Participant’s estate to be the Beneficiary and shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the Participant’s estate.

7.2 Payments to Minors. In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor, payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead such payment shall be made (a) to that person’s living parent(s) to act as custodian, (b) if that person’s parents are then divorced, and one parent is the sole custodial parent, to such custodial parent, to act as custodian, or (c) if no parent of that person is then living, to a custodian selected by the Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides. If no parent is living and the Committee decides not to select another custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or, if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within sixty (60) days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.

7.3 Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity. In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of any and all liability of the Committee and the Company under the Plan.

8.1 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, (a) the Participant shall continue to be considered eligible for the benefits provided under the Plan, and (b) deferrals shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Article III.

8.2 Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant's Employer to take an 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, such Participant shall continue to be eligible for the benefits provided under the Plan. During the unpaid leave of absence, the Participant shall not be allowed to make any additional deferral elections, but any existing deferral elections will apply to any compensation paid while on the leave of absence (e.g., Bonus amounts). However, if the Participant returns to employment the Committee determines the Participant to be eligible to participate in the Plan, the Participant may elect to defer for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment, and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan, provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and a Participant Election is delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with Article III above.

9.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board, which shall have the exclusive right and full discretion (a) to appoint agents to act on its behalf, (b) to select and establish Funds, (c) to interpret the Plan, (d) to decide any and all matters arising hereunder (including the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or admissions), (e) to make, amend and rescind such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and (f) to make all other determinations and resolve all questions of fact necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including determinations regarding eligibility for benefits payable under the Plan. All interpretations of the Committee with respect to any matter hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons affected thereby. No member of the Committee or agent thereof shall be liable for any determination, decision, or action made in good faith with respect to the Plan. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee and its agents from and against any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act, or omission, in connection with the performance of such persons’ duties, responsibilities, and obligations under the Plan, other than such liabilities, costs, and expenses as may result from the bad faith, willful misconduct, or criminal acts of such persons.

9.2 Claims Procedure. Any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary may file a written claim with the Committee setting forth the nature of the benefit claimed, the amount thereof, and the basis for claiming entitlement to such benefit. The Committee shall determine the validity of the claim and communicate a decision to the claimant promptly and, in any event, not later than ninety (90) days after the date of the claim. The claim may be deemed by the claimant to have been denied for purposes of further review described below in the event a decision is not furnished to the claimant within such ninety (90) day period. If additional information is necessary to make a determination on a claim, the claimant shall be advised of the need for such additional information within forty-five (45) days after the date of the claim. The claimant shall have up to one hundred eighty (180) days to supplement the claim information, and the claimant shall be advised of the decision on the claim within forty-five (45) days after the earlier of the date the supplemental information is supplied or the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period. Every claim for benefits which is denied shall be denied by written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (b) specific reference to any provisions of the Plan (including any internal rules, guidelines, protocols, criteria, etc.) on which the denial is based, (c) description of any additional material or information that is necessary to process the claim, and (d) an explanation of the procedure for further reviewing the denial of the claim and shall include an explanation of the claimant’s right to submit the claim for binding arbitration in the event of an adverse determination on review.

9.3 Review Procedures. Within sixty (60) days after the receipt of a denial on a claim, a claimant or his/her authorized representative may file a written request for review of such denial. Such review shall be undertaken by the Committee and shall be a full and fair review. The claimant shall have the right to review all pertinent documents. The Committee shall issue a decision not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review from a claimant unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require a longer period of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the claimant’s request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant with specific reference to any provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based and shall include an explanation of the claimant’s right to submit the claim for binding arbitration in the event of an adverse determination on review.

10.1 Termination of Plan. Although each Employer anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, each Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan with respect to all of its Participants. In the event of a Plan termination, no new deferral elections shall be permitted for the affected Participants and such Participants shall no longer be eligible to receive new Company Contributions. However, after the Plan termination the Account balances of such Participants shall continue to be credited with deferrals attributable to any deferral election that was in effect prior to the Plan termination to the extent deemed necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations, and additional amounts shall continue to be credited or debited to such Participants’ Account balances pursuant to Article IV. In addition, following a Plan termination, Participant Account balances shall remain in the Plan and shall not be distributed until such amounts become eligible for distribution in accordance with the other applicable provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) or as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A, the Employer may provide that upon termination of the Plan, all Account balances of the Participants shall be distributed, subject to and in accordance with any rules established by such Employer deemed necessary to comply with the applicable requirements and limitations of Code Section 409A.

10.2 Amendment. The Board, or its delegate, 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 vested Account balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made.

10.3 Unsecured General Creditor. The benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or applicable Employer, and the Participant and any Beneficiary or their heirs or successors shall be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Company or the applicable Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company or the applicable Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. It is the intention of the Employers that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code.

10.4 Restriction Against Assignment. The Company and the Employers shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or entity. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, Beneficiary, or their successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be subject to any right of offset against or reduction for any amount payable by the Participant or Beneficiary, whether to an Employer or any other party, under any arrangement other than under the terms of this Plan.

10.5 Withholding. The Participant shall make appropriate arrangements with the Employers for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements, Social Security and other employee tax or other requirements applicable to the granting, crediting, vesting or payment of benefits under the Plan. There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other Compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes that are required to be withheld by the Employers in respect to such payment or this Plan. To the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, the Employers shall have the right to reduce any payment (or other Compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

10.6 Code Section 409A. The Company intends that the Plan comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A (and all applicable Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder) and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation that the Plan complies with Code Section 409A.

10.7 Effect of Payment. Any payment made in good faith to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Committee, its members, the Employer and the Company.

10.8 Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee receives a 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 shall have the right to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s vested interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to such spouse or former spouse to the extent necessary to fulfill such domestic relations order, provided that such distribution is in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

10.9 Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to continue the provision of services in any capacity whatsoever to the Employers.

10.10 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Employers, Company, Board and Committee make no commitment or guarantee to any Participant that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person eligible for benefits under the Plan and assume no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to any Participant.

10.11 Successors of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company.

10.12 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company or the Participant under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, in the case of the Company, to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the Committee, and in the case of the Participant, to the last known address of the Participant indicated on the employment records of the Company. 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. Notices to the Company may be permitted by electronic communication according to specifications established by the Committee.

10.13 Headings. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

10.14 Gender, Singular and Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

10.15 Governing Law. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. To the extent any provision of, or legal issue relating to, this Plan is not fully preempted by federal law, such issue or provision shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.16 Entire Agreement. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, this Plan supersedes any and all prior communications, understandings, arrangements or agreements between the parties, including the Employers, the Company, the Board, the Committee and any and all Participants, whether written, oral, express or implied relating thereto.

10.17 Binding Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or other matter in question of any kind relating to this Plan which is not resolved by the claims procedures under this Plan shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the applicable employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association. Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing to the opposing party and to the American Arbitration Association within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when the applicable statute of limitations would bar the institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators may award reasonable fees and expenses to the prevailing party in any dispute hereunder and shall award reasonable fees and expenses in the event that the arbitrators find that the losing party acted in bad faith or with intent to harass, hinder or delay the prevailing party in the exercise of its rights in connection with the matter under dispute.
