Pursuant to any merger of this Plan with another qualified plan, or any transfer of assets to this Plan from another qualified plan, the Plan Administrator may determine that all or any portion of the amount trustee-to-trustee transferred to the Plan on a Participant’s behalf shall be deemed to be a Transferred Contribution made on the Participant’s behalf.

3.7 Conditional Employer Contributions. Any contribution made to the Trust Fund by an Employer pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.5 of this Plan shall be conditioned upon its deductibility under Code Section 404 and shall be subject to reversion to the Employer in accordance with Section 3.8 of this Plan.

Upon any reversion of a Salary Deferral Contribution pursuant to this Section, the Employer receiving the reversion shall pay the amount of such Salary Deferral Contribution to the Participant (or former Participant) on whose behalf the Salary Deferral Contribution was made as soon as administratively possible after the Employer’s receipt thereof.

3.9 Actual Deferral Percentage Test and Actual Contribution Percentage Test. With respect to Eligible Participants this Plan is a cash or deferred arrangement that satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor for a Plan Year and the ACP Test Safe Harbor for a Plan Year using the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions as provided in Section 3.4 of this Plan that are intended to constitute both ADP Safe Harbor Contributions and ACP Safe Harbor Matching Contributions.

3.10 Determination and Correction of Excess Deferrals.

(a) Determination of Excess Deferrals. A Participant’s Excess Deferrals (if any) for a calendar year shall be determined as follows:

(i) Excess Under This Plan and Other Plans. If, as of any date during the calendar year, the sum of (A) the aggregate Salary Deferral Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf during the calendar year less any such Salary Deferral Contributions that were distributed to the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 4.8(b) of this Plan and (B) the aggregate of any other elective deferrals, as such term is defined in Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.402(g)-1(b), made on the Participant’s behalf during the calendar year exceeds the Salary Deferral Limit, the Participant may designate that any portion of such excess amount shall be considered to be Excess Deferrals by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing thereof at any time during the calendar year or by the March 15th next following the last day of the calendar year; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may require the Participant to certify or otherwise to establish that such designated amount should be considered to be Excess Deferrals.

(ii) Excess Under This Plan and Plans of Affiliated Employers. If, as of any date during the calendar year, the sum of (A) the aggregate Salary Deferral Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf during the calendar year less any such Salary Deferral Contributions that were distributed to the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 4.8(b) of this Plan and (B) the aggregate of any other elective deferrals, as such term is defined in Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.402(g)-1(b), made on the Participant’s behalf during the calendar year under a plan of an Employer exceeds the Salary Deferral Limit described in Paragraph (i) above, the

Participant shall be deemed to have designated that such excess amount shall be considered to be Excess Deferrals. For the Plan Year ending December 31, 2020, the elective deferrals made under the Prior Plan during the period from January 1, 2020 through the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020 shall be included for purposes of determining elective deferrals, as such term is defined in Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.402(g)-1(b).

(b) Distribution of Excess Deferrals. On any Distribution Date for a calendar year, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to a Participant who has Excess Deferrals for the calendar year (other than a Participant who received a complete distribution of his or her Salary Deferral Contributions Subaccount), an amount that shall equal the lesser of (i) the balance in the Participant’s Salary Deferral Contributions Subaccount or (ii) the Distributable Excess Deferrals, plus any earnings or minus any losses allocable to the Distributable Excess Deferrals, as determined pursuant to Subsection (d)(i) below.

(c) Forfeiture of Safe Harbor Matching Contributions. Any Safe Harbor Matching Contributions attributable to a Participant’s Excess Deferrals that are distributed pursuant to Subsection (b) above, plus any earnings or minus any losses allocable thereto, as determined pursuant to Subsection (d)(ii) below, shall be forfeited as of the Distribution Date applicable pursuant to Subsection (b).

(d) Determination of Earnings or Losses.

(i) Distributable Excess Deferrals. The earnings or losses allocable to a Participant’s Distributable Excess Deferrals as of the applicable Distribution Date shall equal (A) the earnings or losses allocable to the Salary Deferral Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf for the Plan Year multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Distributable Excess Deferrals and the denominator of which is (I) the balance in the Participant’s Salary Deferral Contributions Subaccount as of the first (1st) day of the calendar year plus (II) the Salary Deferral Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf for the Plan Year.

(ii) Forfeited Safe Harbor Matching Contributions. The earnings or losses allocable to a Participant’s Safe Harbor Matching Contributions forfeited pursuant to Subsection (c) above as of the applicable Distribution Date shall equal (A) the earnings or losses allocable to the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf for the Plan Year multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions to be forfeited and the denominator of which is (I) the balance in the Participant’s Safe Harbor Matching Contributions Subaccount as of the first (1st) day of the Plan Year plus (II) the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions made on the Participant’s behalf for the Plan Year.

4.9 Investment of Accounts. The Account of each Participant shall be separately invested subject to Subsections (a) through (d) below:

(a) Participant-directed Accounts. A Participant may direct the Trustee to invest all or any portion of the Participant’s Account in such investment(s) as the Plan Administrator shall designate from time to time, and a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may direct the Trustee to invest all or any portion of the Participant’s Account, or such part thereof to which the Beneficiary shall be entitled, in such investment(s) as the Plan Administrator shall designate from time to time.

A Participant may make his or her initial election to direct the investment of his or her Account by properly completing an investment option election and filing it with the Trustee, and, if a Participant who has died did not make an initial election to direct the investment of his or her Account, a Beneficiary of the deceased Participant may make such an initial election to direct the investment of the Participant’s Account, or such part thereof to which the Beneficiary shall be entitled, by properly completing an investment option election and filing it with the Trustee. To the extent that a Participant was an active participant in the Prior Plan immediately before the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020, and became a Participant in the Plan as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020 as a result of the spin-off from the Prior Plan, the investment directions for contributions in effect under the Prior Plan immediately before the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020 shall be the Participant’s investment direction for contributions under this Plan until otherwise changed in accordance with this Section 4.9; provided that any investment direction into the Fortive stock fund will be replaced by an investment option determined by the Plan Administrator.

If an initial investment option election has been filed with respect to a Participant’s Account, the Participant or a Beneficiary of the deceased Participant may elect to change the investment election with respect to the investment of future amounts credited to the Account and/or with respect to the investment of all or a designated portion of the current balance of the Account, or part thereof to which the Beneficiary shall be entitled, as applicable, by so designating on a new investment option election and filing the election with the Trustee or, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, by so notifying the Trustee in any manner acceptable to the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator or the Trustee with respect to one (1) or more investment options, any investment election made pursuant to this Subsection by a Participant or a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall be effective as soon as administratively possible after the date that the Participant or Beneficiary files the investment option election with the Trustee or otherwise notifies the Trustee of his or her election in accordance with this Subsection, and such election shall continue in effect until the effective date of a subsequent investment election properly made.

The Plan Administrator shall adopt and may amend procedures to be followed by Participants and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants in electing to direct investments pursuant to this Subsection. In establishing any such procedures, the Plan Administrator may, among other actions, format investment option forms and establish deadlines for elections.

As a result of the spin-off of accounts from the Prior Plan to this Plan, all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may initially be invested in the Fortive stock fund to the extent such amounts were invested in a Fortive stock fund under the Prior Plan. A Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall be able to exchange all or a portion of his or her Account invested in the Fortive stock fund into other investments available under the Plan at any time, subject to procedures established by the Plan Administrator. A Participant or a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant will not be allowed to direct any additional investments under this Plan into the Fortive stock fund.

(b) Nondirected Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall from time to time designate the fund in which shall be invested any Account (or portion of an Account) for which an investment option election has not been made pursuant to Subsection (a) above.

(c) Earnings or Losses. The earnings or losses attributable to the assets in each of a Participant’s Subaccounts shall be credited to or deducted from, as applicable, the respective Subaccounts at intervals during the Plan Year as shall be consistent with the investment of the Account pursuant to this Section.

(d) Employer Stock. The Plan Administrator shall designate an investment fund which shall invest exclusively in common stock of the Plan Sponsor, which shall be “qualifying employer securities” within the meaning of ERISA Section 407(d)(5), and such cash or cash equivalent as is necessary to provide adequate liquidity to comply with Participant and Beneficiary investment directions. The purpose of including such an investment within the plan is to offer each Participant or Beneficiary the opportunity to utilize common stock of the Plan Sponsor to build a diversified investment portfolio consistent with such Participant or Beneficiary’s own individual risk tolerances and to permit Participants and Beneficiaries to take advantage of the favorable taxation of lump-sum distributions in the form of shares of appreciated stock.

For the period of time during which the Plan Sponsor is a member of the controlled group that includes Fortive Corporation, such “qualifying employer securities” shall mean the common stock of Fortive Corporation. On and after the first day on which the Plan Sponsor no longer is a member of the controlled group including Fortive Corporation, such “qualifying employer securities” shall mean the common stock of Vontier Corporation.

4.10 Determination and Allocation of Expenses. The Plan Administrator shall determine which expenses (if any) reasonably incurred in the operation and administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Trustee from assets of the Trust Fund accrued either by debiting each Employer’s Forfeitures Account by a specified dollar amount or by debiting each Participant’s Account by a specified administrative fee, and the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee accordingly; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may require, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, that the Trustee charge against a Participant’s Account any expenses properly applicable to specific transactions involving the Participant’s Account, including, but not limited to, (i) a loan to the Participant pursuant to Section 6.13 of this Plan and (ii) the Plan Administrator’s (or its delegate’s) review of any draft or final qualified domestic relations order that purports to affect a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 11.3(b) of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor may, but is not required to, pay or advance expenses of the Plan and may seek reimbursement from the Plan for expenses paid or advanced.

4.11 Corrections. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event that the Plan Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that there has been an incorrect credit to or debit from an Account, the Plan Administrator shall take any such actions as it may deem, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or desirable to correct such prior incorrect credit or debit.

4.12 Determination of Value of Accounts. The fair market value of each Account shall be determined as of any date of valuation as follows:

(a) The fair market value of the Account (if any) as of the last preceding date of valuation; plus

(b) Any amount of Unilateral Employer Contributions credited to the Account pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Plan since the last preceding Valuation Date after any forfeiture thereof pursuant to Section 4.8(b) or Section 5.4(a) of this Plan; plus

(c) Any amount of a Discretionary Employer Contribution credited to the Account pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Plan since the last preceding date of valuation after any forfeiture thereof pursuant to Section 4.8(b) or Section 5.4 of this Plan; plus

(i) Any amounts credited to the Account as a result of a merger of another plan with this Plan, or a transfer of assets and liabilities from another plan to this Plan, since the last preceding date of valuation; less

(j) Any losses on assets in the Account deducted therefrom pursuant to Section 4.9(c) of this Plan since the last preceding date of valuation; less

(k) Any expenses attributable to assets in the Account deducted therefrom pursuant to Section 4.10 of this Plan since the last preceding date of valuation; less

(l) Any amounts deducted from the Account pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Plan since the last preceding date of valuation; less

(m) Any cash amounts and the fair market value of any property distributed or transferred to or on behalf of the respective Participant from the Account since the last preceding date of valuation.

4.13 Value Determinations. The Trustee and the Plan Administrator shall exercise their best judgment in determining any issue of value. All such determinations of value shall be binding upon all Participants and their Beneficiaries.

[●], 2020, and became a Participant in the Plan as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020 as a result of the spin-off from the Prior Plan, the Beneficiary election in effect under the Prior Plan immediately before the close of the New York Stock Exchange on [●], 2020 shall be the Participant’s Beneficiary election until otherwise changed in accordance with this Section 6.6. A Participant may change his or her Beneficiary designation from time to time by filing a new form with the Plan Administrator. No such Beneficiary designation shall be effective unless and until the Participant has properly filed the completed form with the Plan Administrator.

If a deceased Participant is not survived by a designated Beneficiary or if no Beneficiary was effectively designated, upon the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Account (if any) shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment to the Participant’s spouse and, if there is no spouse, to the Participant’s estate. If a designated Beneficiary is living at the death of the Participant but dies before receiving the entire benefit to which the Beneficiary was entitled, the remaining portion of such benefit shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment to the estate of the deceased Beneficiary.

6.7 Spousal Consent.

The consent of a Participant’s spouse shall be binding only upon the spouse who granted such consent.

6.8 Hardship Distributions. The Plan Administrator may, but shall not be required to, establish procedures under which hardship distributions shall be made to an Employee from all or any portion of his or her Nonforfeitable Account other than his or her Safe Harbor Matching Contributions Subaccount and qualified non-elective contributions; provided, however, that (i) an Employee may not elect to receive a hardship distribution of such portion of his or her Prior Employer Contributions Subaccount subject to the qualified joint and survivor annuity requirements of Code Section 401(a)(11); and (ii) an Employee who has a Prior Employer Contributions Subaccount received from the Prior Plan that includes qualified non-elective contributions or safe-harbor employer contributions made on his or her behalf under such plan may not elect to receive a hardship distribution of such portion of the Prior Employer Contributions Subaccount.

(ii) The tenth (10th) anniversary of the date that the Participant began participating in this Plan; where, if the Participant has incurred at least one (1) Period of Severance, the years of the Participant’s participation in this Plan prior to any such Period of Severance shall not be counted in determining when the Participant became a Participant if the number of years (and fractions thereof) of such Period of Severance equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) or the number of such years of the Participant’s participation; or

(iii) The date that the Participant’s Employment terminates.

(b) Incidental Death Benefits. The Participant shall not receive a benefit under which the present value of payments to be made to the Participant (based upon the life expectancy of the Participant determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.72-9, Table I, and a five percent (5%) per annum interest) would be less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the value of the Participant’s Nonforfeitable Account.

(c) Administrative Matters. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, delay the date for distribution of the benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant to the extent necessary to determine the benefit properly, or, notwithstanding Sections 6.3, 6.4, and 7.1 of this Plan, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, commence payment of the benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant despite the fact that a timely claim therefor has not been filed.

6.15 Required Minimum Distributions.

(a) General Rules.

(i) Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, payment of any benefit to or on behalf of a Participant shall be subject to the calculations provided in Subsections (a) through (f), as applicable:

(ii) Precedence. The requirements of this Section 6.15 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. The Plan generally permits lump-sum distributions only. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 6.15, which provisions are drawn from the Model Amendment published by the Internal Revenue Service, that relate to payments over a period of time (i.e., life expectancy(ies)) shall not be the basis for permitting distributions to Participants (or beneficiaries of a deceased Participant) in any form other than a lump-sum distribution. Whenever a Participant is required to receive a distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9), such distribution shall be in the form of a lump-sum distribution.

(iii) Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 6.15 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

(iv) TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.15, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

(b) Time and Manner of Distribution.

(i) Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.

(ii) Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(A) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Subsection (f) below, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 72, if later.

(B) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Subsection (f) below, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(C) If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(D) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Subsection (b)(ii), other than Subsection (b)(ii)(A), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Subsection (b)(ii) and Subsection (d), unless Subsection (b)(ii)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Subsection (b)(ii)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subsection (b)(ii)(A).

(iii) Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will be made in accordance with Subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 6.15.

(i) Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of

(A) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401 (a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or

(B) if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

(ii) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Subsection (c) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(d) Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

(i) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

(I) The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(II) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

(III) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(B) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(ii) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as provided in Subsection (f) below, if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Subsection (d)(i) above.

(B) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(C) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subsection (b)(ii)(A) above, this Subsection (d)(ii) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(e) Definitions.

(i) Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-1, of the Treasury regulations.

(ii) Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Subsection (b)(ii). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

(iii) Life Expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

(iv) Participant’s Account Balance. The Account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The Account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

(v) Required Beginning Date. The date specified in Section 1.67 of the Plan when distributions under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code are required to begin.

(f) Election to Apply 5 Year Rule to Distributions to Designated Beneficiaries. If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, distribution to the Designated Beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in Subsection (b)(ii) of this Section 6.15, but the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary by December 31, of the calendar year containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

6.16 In-service Distributions upon Disability. An Employee who incurs a Disability may, at any time, elect to receive all or any portion of his or her Nonforfeitable Account.

6.17 Qualified Reservist Distribution. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant who is ordered or called to active military duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period may, at any time during the period beginning on the date of such order or call and ending at the close of the active duty period, withdraw all or any portion of the Salary Deferral Contributions Subaccount in accordance with Code section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(V).

ARTICLE VII

CLAIMS AND ADMINISTRATION

7.1 Applications. A Participant or a Beneficiary who is or may be entitled to a benefit under this Plan shall apply for such benefit in writing in a form and manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including an electronic or paper form).

7.2 Information and Proof. A Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall furnish all information and proof required by the Plan Administrator for the determination of any issue arising under this Plan including, but not limited to, proof of marriage to a Participant or a certified copy of the death certificate of a Participant. The failure by a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to furnish such information or proof promptly and in good faith, or the furnishing of false or fraudulent information or proof by the Participant or Beneficiary, shall be sufficient reason for the denial, suspension, or discontinuance of benefits thereto and the recovery of any benefits paid in reliance thereon.

7.3 Notice of Address Change. Each Participant and any Beneficiary of a deceased Participant who is or may be entitled to a benefit under this Plan shall notify the Plan Administrator in writing of any change of his or her address in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.

7.4 Claims Procedure.

(a) Claim Denial. The Plan Administrator shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant whose application for benefits, made in accordance with Section 7.1 of this Plan, has been wholly or partially denied. Such notice shall include the reason(s) for denial, including references, when appropriate, to specific Plan or Trust Agreement provisions; a description of any additional information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim, if applicable and an explanation of why such information is necessary; and a description of the claimant’s right to appeal under Subsection (b) below.

The Plan Administrator shall furnish such notice of a claim denial within ninety (90) days after the date that the Plan Administrator received the claim. If special circumstances require an extension of time for deciding a claim, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing thereof within such ninety (90)-day period and shall specify the date a decision on the claim shall be made, which shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that the Plan Administrator received the claim. Then, the Plan Administrator shall furnish any denial notice on the claim by the later date so specified.

(b) Appeal Procedure. A claimant or his or her duly authorized representative shall have the right to file a written request for review of a claim denial within sixty (60) days after receipt of the denial, to review pertinent documents, records and other information relevant to his or her claim without charge (including items used in the determination, even if not relied upon in making the final determination and items demonstrating consistent application and compliance with this Plan’s administrative processes and safeguards), and to submit comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, even if the information was not submitted or considered in the initial determination.

(c) Decision Upon Appeal. In considering an appeal made in accordance with Subsection (b) above, the Plan Administrator shall review and consider any written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, even if the information was not submitted or considered in the initial determination by the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative. The claimant or his or her representative shall not be entitled to appear in person before any representative of the Plan Administrator.

The Plan Administrator shall issue a written decision on an appeal within sixty (60) days after the date the Plan Administrator receives the appeal together with any written comments relating thereto. If special circumstances require an extension of time for a decision on an appeal, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing thereof within such sixty (60)-day period. Then, the Plan Administrator shall furnish a written decision on the appeal as soon as possible but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date that the Plan Administrator received the appeal. The decision on the appeal shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. If the claimant loses on appeal, the decision shall include the following information provided in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: (1) the specific reason(s) for the adverse determination; (2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based; (3) a statement of the claimant’s right to receive at no cost information and copies of documents relevant to the claim, even if such information was not relied upon in making determinations; and (4) a statement of the claimant’s rights to sue under ERISA.

(d) Exhaustion of Remedies. A Participant shall have the right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination or review, provided; however, that in no event shall a Participant or Beneficiary bring suit under ERISA in lieu of or prior to complying with the claims procedure in this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action shall be commenced by a Participant seeking judicial review of an adverse benefit determination or review of a claim or an appeal one year after the Participant had exhausted his or her administrative remedies pursuant to this Section.

7.5 Status, Responsibilities Authority, and Immunity of Plan Administrator.

(a) Status of Plan Administrator and Designation of Additional Fiduciaries. The Plan Administrator shall be the “administrator” of this Plan, as such term is defined in Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, designate in writing one or more other persons who shall carry out fiduciary responsibilities (other than Trustee responsibilities) under this Plan.

(b) Responsibilities and Discretionary Authority. Subject to the terms of the Vontier Corporation Benefits Committee Charter, the Plan Administrator shall have absolute and exclusive discretion to manage this Plan and to determine all issues and questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of this Plan and the Trust Agreement, including, but not limited to, issues and questions relating to a Participant’s eligibility for Plan benefits and to the nature, amount, conditions, and duration of any Plan benefits. Furthermore, the Plan

Administrator shall have absolute and exclusive discretion to formulate and to adopt any and all standards for use in any actuarial calculations required in connection with this Plan and rules, regulations, and procedures that it deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the terms of this Plan, including, but not limited to, procedures governing applications and claims for Plan benefits and appeals of claim denials; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator shall not adopt a rule, regulation, or procedure that shall conflict with this Plan or the Trust Agreement. Subject to the terms of any applicable contract or agreement, any interpretation or application of this Plan or the Trust Agreement by the Plan Administrator, or any rules, regulations, and procedures duly adopted by the Plan Administrator, shall be final and binding upon Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries, and any and all other persons dealing with this Plan. No other provision of this Plan, whether by its terms or the fact of its inclusion herein, nor the absence from this Plan of any provision, shall be construed as limiting the generality of the foregoing except to the extent that any provision included in this Plan specifically limits the authority, responsibility, or discretion of the Plan Administrator.

(c) Delegation of Authority and Reliance on Agents. The Plan Administrator or any fiduciary designated thereby in accordance with Subsection (a) above may, in its discretion, allocate ministerial duties and responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Plan to one or more persons, who may or may not be Employees, and employ or retain one or more persons, including accountants and attorneys, to render advice with regard to any responsibility of such fiduciary.

(d) Reliance on Documents. Neither the Plan Administrator nor any fiduciary designated thereby in accordance with Subsection (a) above shall incur any liability in relying or in acting upon any instrument, application, notice, request, letter, telegram, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine, to contain a true statement of facts, and to have been executed or sent by the proper person.

(e) Immunity of Plan Administrator. Except as and to the extent prohibited by ERISA, neither the Plan Administrator nor any fiduciary designated thereby in accordance with Subsection (a) above shall be liable for any of its acts or omissions, the acts or omissions of any other such fiduciary, or the acts or omissions of any employee or agent authorized or retained pursuant to Subsection (c) above by the Plan Administrator or other such fiduciary, except any act of any such person as constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.6 Facility of Payment. If the Plan Administrator shall determine that a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to whom a benefit is payable is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness, accident, or other incapacity, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, direct the Trustee to make any payment otherwise due to the Participant or Beneficiary to the legal guardian or other representative of the Participant or Beneficiary. Furthermore, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, direct the Trustee to make any payment otherwise due to a minor Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to the guardian of the minor or the person having custody of the minor. Any payment made in accordance with this Section to a person other than a Participant or Beneficiary shall, to the extent thereof, be a complete discharge of the Trust Fund’s obligation to the Participant or Beneficiary.

7.7 Unclaimed Benefits. If the Plan Administrator cannot locate a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to whom payment of a benefit under this Plan is required, following a diligent effort by the Plan Administrator to locate the Participant or Beneficiary, such benefit shall be forfeited; provided that the benefit shall be restored upon the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s subsequent application therefor.

PLAN AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

9.1 Right to Amend. The Benefits Committee (or its delegate) reserves all rights to amend this Plan, at any time and from time to time, to the extent that such amendment (i) is not expected to result in a material increase in the cost of the Plan to the Plan Sponsor or Affiliated Employer, or (ii) is required due to an acquisition or divestiture that was approved by the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor. In all other cases, the Appointing Committee shall have the right to amend the Plan. Any such amendment shall take the form of an instrument in writing duly executed by one or more individuals duly authorized by the Benefits Committee or Appointing Committee, as applicable; provided however, that, the Plan Sponsor specifically reserves the following three (3) rights to amend the Plan, by action of its Board of Directors, at any time, and to the extent the Plan Sponsor may deem advisable, and any such amendment shall take the form of an instrument in writing duly executed by one or more individuals duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor, as follows: (a) the right to amend the Plan Sponsor’s and any Employer’s contribution obligations under this Plan; (b) the right to amend any vesting schedules under this Plan; and (3) the right to terminate this Plan pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Appointing Committee specifically reserves the right to amend the Plan as may be deemed necessary to ensure the continued qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a) and tax-exempt status of the Trust Fund under Code Section 501(a) and to amend the Plan retroactively as may be deemed necessary to conform the Plan to the requirements of the Code, ERISA, any state or other United States statute applicable to employee benefit plans and trusts, and any regulations or rulings issued pursuant thereto.

9.2 Right to Terminate. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Plan, by action duly taken by its Board of Directors, at any time as the Plan Sponsor may deem advisable. Upon termination of this Plan, (a) the Plan Administrator shall determine the value of the Accounts in accordance with Article IV of this Plan; (b) the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute the balance in each Account to or on behalf of the respective Participant in a lump sum, in cash or in kind, provided that no in-kind distribution shall be made of a life annuity; and (c) each Employer on whose behalf an amount is being held in a suspense account pursuant to Section 4.8(b) of this Plan and as permitted under EPCRS and any successor Internal Revenue Service correction program shall receive a reversion of such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Plan termination, if distribution of Accounts shall be prohibited under Code Sections 401(k)(2)(B) and 401(k)(10), the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to continue the Trust Fund, shall direct the merger of this Plan with any other defined contribution plan that may be maintained or established by the Plan Sponsor or another Employer, or shall take any other such actions as the Plan Administrator shall determine to be consistent with such Code Sections.

10.2 Definitions. Terms used in this Article, other than terms defined in Article I of this Plan and not defined in this Section, shall have the respective meanings set forth below unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary:

(a) The term “Determination Date” shall mean, with respect to a Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year.

(b) The term “Eligible Non-key Employee” shall mean, with respect to an Employer and a Plan Year, an individual who (i) has met the applicable participation requirements of Section 2.1 of this Plan; (ii) is not a Key Employee of the Employer as of the Determination Date for the Plan Year; (iii) is not a Collectively Bargained Employee of the Employer as of the Determination Date for the Plan Year; and (iv) is an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year.

(ii) If a Participant has not completed an Hour of Service at any time during the one (1) year period ending on a Determination Date, his or her Account shall not be included in calculating an aggregate value of Accounts as of the Determination Date.

As soon as administratively possible after the last day of a Plan Year for which an Employer is required to make Top-heavy Contributions pursuant to this Section, the Employer shall pay to the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate Top-heavy Contributions, less any amount available to pay such Top-heavy Contributions in the Employer’s Forfeitures Account, and the Trustee shall credit the appropriate Top-heavy Contribution to the respective Top-heavy Contributions Subaccount of each Eligible Non-key Employee.

11.2 Agreement Not An Employment Contract. This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between any Employer and any Participant or Employee or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect that such discharge shall have upon such individual as a Participant in this Plan.

11.3 Nonalienation of Benefits.

(a) Prohibition Against Alienation or Assignment. Subject to Subsections (b) and (c) below, benefits payable under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, including any such liability that is for alimony or other payments for the support of a spouse or former spouse, or for the support of any other relative, before payment thereof is received by the person entitled to the benefits under this Plan; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge, or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable under this Plan shall be void; provided, however, that this Subsection shall not prohibit the Plan Administrator from offsetting, pursuant to Section 11.4 of this Plan, any payments due to a Participant, a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, or any other person who may be entitled to receive a benefit under this Plan, and provided further that this Subsection shall not preclude the enforcement of a federal tax levy, the collection of a judgment by the United States of an unpaid tax assessment, or any arrangement excluded from the term “assignment” or “alienation” in regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury.

(b) Exception for Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above or any other provision of this Plan, the Plan Administrator shall comply with a “qualified domestic relations order,” as such term is defined in Code Section 414(p). The Plan Administrator shall establish a procedure to determine whether a domestic relations order that purports to affect benefits under this Plan is a qualified domestic relations order and, if so, to administer distributions thereunder. To the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order, the former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the surviving spouse of the Participant upon his or her death for all purposes under this Plan. A qualified domestic relations order may require payment of benefits to an alternate payee before the Participant has separated from service on or after the date on which the Participant attains or would have attained the “earliest retirement age” under this Plan, where the “earliest retirement age” shall be as defined in Code Section 414(p)(4)(B).

(c) Exception for Certain Judgments and Settlements. Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above or any other provision of this Plan, the Plan Administrator shall comply with a judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement described in Code Section 401(a)(13)(C) and obtained, issued, or entered into, as applicable, to the extent that it relates to this Plan.

11.4 Offset of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant owes any amount to the Trust Fund, whether as a result of an overpayment or otherwise, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, offset the amount owed or any percentage thereof in any manner against any payments due from the Trust Fund to the Participant or Beneficiary.

11.5 Merger or Consolidation of Plan. In the event of a merger or consolidation of this Plan with any other plan or a transfer of assets or liabilities of this Plan to any other plan, a Participant shall be entitled to receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the successor or transferee plan had then been terminated) that is equal to or greater than the benefit that he or she would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if this Plan had then been terminated).

11.6 Merger or Consolidation of Employer. If an Employer is merged or consolidated with another business organization, or another business organization acquires all or substantially all of an Employer’s assets, such organization may become an Employer hereunder by action of its board of directors and by action of the board of directors of such prior Employer, if still existent. Such a change in Employers shall not be deemed a termination of the Employer’s participation in this Plan by either the predecessor or successor Employer.

11.7 Suspension of Employer Contributions. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or suspend contributions to this Plan with respect to itself and all Employers, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time and for any period or periods and to discontinue contributions to this Plan at any time.

11.8 Plan Continuance Voluntary. Although it is the intention of the Plan Sponsor that this Plan shall be continued, this Plan is entirely voluntary on the part of the Plan Sponsor and each other Employer, and the continuance of this Plan and Employer contributions to this Plan are not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Plan Sponsor or any other Employer.

11.9 Savings Clause. If any term, covenant, or condition of this Plan, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Plan, or the application of any such term, covenant, or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and, except to the extent of any such invalidity or unenforceability, this Plan and each term, covenant, and condition hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11.10 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered under the laws of the State of North Carolina to the extent not pre-empted by ERISA or any other federal law.

11.12 Headings No Part of Agreement. Headings of articles, sections, and subsections of this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference; they constitute no part of this Plan and are not to be considered in the construction of this Plan.

11.13 Indemnification. The Plan Sponsor hereby agrees to indemnify any of its current or former Employees or any current or former members of its board of directors to the full extent of any expenses, penalties, damages, or other pecuniary loss that any such indemnitee may suffer as a result of his or her responsibilities, obligations, or duties in connection with this Plan or fiduciary responsibilities actually performed in connection with this Plan. Such indemnification shall be paid by the Plan Sponsor to the indemnitee to the extent that fiduciary liability insurance is not available to cover the payment of such items, but in no event shall any such amount be paid out of Plan assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not relieve any current or former Employee or member of an Employer’s board of directors serving in a fiduciary capacity of his or her fiduciary responsibilities or liabilities to this Plan for breaches of fiduciary obligations, nor shall this Section be deemed to violate any provision of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA as it may be interpreted from time to time by the United States Department of Labor and any courts of competent jurisdiction.

APPOINTING COMMITTEE

APPENDIX A

SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PUERTO RICO PARTICIPANTS

A.1. Purpose and Effect. The purpose of this Appendix A is to comply with the requirements of Sections 1081.01(a) and (d) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”). The provisions of this Appendix A shall only apply to those Participants who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico and persons who perform labor or services primarily within Puerto Rico, regardless of residence for other purposes (the “Puerto Rico Participants”).

A.2. Type of Plan. It is the intent of the Appointing Committee that the Plan (including the trust agreement forming a part thereof), as applied to Puerto Rico Participants, be a defined contribution profit sharing plan with cash or deferred arrangement of an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees or their beneficiaries as provided for in Sections 1081.01(a) and (d) of the PR Code, and is to be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent. With respect to the Puerto Rico Participants, the Plan will at all times be maintained and administered in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in connection with contributions and accrual of benefits related to the Puerto Rico Participants, unless contrary to the applicable provisions of the Code or ERISA.

A.3. Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Puerto Rico Participant’s “Compensation” shall mean such Participant’s “wages” for the Plan Year, as such term shall be defined in PR Code Section 1062.01, and all other payments of compensation paid by the Employer (in the course of the Employer’s trade or business) for a Plan Year for which the Employer is required to furnish the Puerto Rico Participant a written statement under PR Code Section 1062.01. The determination of Compensation under this Section shall be determined prior to the effect of any elective deferrals under any PR Code Section 1081.01(d) cash or deferred arrangement that is part of a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan. All other provisions in the Plan with respect to Compensation shall also apply to the Puerto Rico Participants to the extent not prohibited by the PR Code.

A.4. Puerto Rico Participant’s Salary Deferral Limit. A Puerto Rico Participant may not elect Salary Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan at a rate greater than seventy-five (75%) of his/her Compensation, not to exceed the dollar limitation provided under PR Code Section 1081.01(d)(7)(A). This limit shall be applied by aggregating all plans maintained by the Employer for Puerto Rico Participants that provide for Salary Deferral Contributions.

A.4A Limitation on Contributions. In accordance with Section 1081.01(a)(11)(B) of the PR Code and the applicable guidance issued by the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury, the annual contributions made by or on behalf of a Puerto Rico Participant (not including rollover contributions), when added to contributions made by or on behalf of the Puerto Rico Participant under all other qualified defined contribution plans (if any) maintained by the Employer, shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $55,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the United States Code or (ii) 100% of the Puerto Rico Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year. For purposes of this Section, Compensation shall include contributions made by the Puerto Rico Participant for the Plan Year to a qualified plan under a contribution agreement.

A-1

A.5. Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participants. A Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participant with respect to a Plan Year, a Puerto Rico Participant who:

(a) owns more than 5% of the stock entitled to vote or of the total value of all classes of stock of the Employer;

(b) owns more than 5% of the capital or of the interest in the profits of the Employer, in the case of non-corporate entities; or

for the preceding calendar year received Compensation from the Employer in excess of the applicable limit determined for such taxable year under Code Section 414(q)(1)(B). To determine whether a Puerto Rico Participant owns more than 5% of the stock, capital or interest in the profits of an Employer, the provisions under Sections 1010.04, 1010.05 and 1081.01(a)(14)(B) of the PR Code, respectively, shall apply. This definition shall be interpreted consistently with Section 1081.01(d)(3)(E)(iii) of the PR Code and the applicable regulations issued thereunder.

The term “PR Highly Compensated Employee” also includes any former Puerto Rico Participant who separated from service (or has a deemed separation from service) prior to the Plan Year, performs no service for the Employer during the Plan Year, and was a PR Highly Compensated Employee for the separation year.

A.6. PR Code Actual Deferral Percentage Test. For each Plan Year, the Plan shall also satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage (“ADP”) Test of PR Code Section 1081.01(d)(3)(B) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This test must be met by only taking into consideration Puerto Rico Participants.

In no event the ADP of the Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participants for any calendar year shall exceed the greater of:

(a) the ADP of all other Puerto Rico Participants for such calendar year multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) the ADP of all other Puerto Rico Participants for such calendar year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the ADP of Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participants does not exceed that of all other Puerto Rico Participants by more than two percentage points.

The ADP of a group of Puerto Rico Participants for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Puerto Rico Participant in such group, of the amount of Puerto Rico Participants’ Salary Deferral Contributions actually paid to the Trust on behalf of such Puerto Rico Participants for such Plan Year to the Compensation of such Puerto Rico Participants for such Plan Year. If more than one plan providing a cash or deferred arrangement (within the meaning of PR Code Section 1081.01(d)) is maintained by the Employer, the ADP of any Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participant who participates in more than one such plan or arrangement shall be determined as if all such arrangements were a single plan or arrangement. If two or more plans are aggregated for purposes of PR Code Section 1081.01(a)(3) or 1081.01(a)(4), such plans shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the ADP of the Puerto Rico Participants as if all such plans were a single plan.

A-2

In the event that there are contributions in excess of the limitation described in paragraphs a. and b. of this Section A.6 (“PR Code Excess Contributions”) (determined under the leveling method specified in the PR Code, or the regulations issued thereunder, beginning with the Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participant with the highest ADP), the Plan Administrator shall cause to be distributed the PR Code Excess Contributions to the affected Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participants. Any matching contributions attributable to a Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participant’s PR Code Excess Contributions, plus or minus any earnings or losses, respectively, allocated thereto, as determined by the Plan Administrator, shall be forfeited as of the date the PR Code Excess Contributions are distributed.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Appendix A to the contrary, to the extent permitted by the PR Code and its Regulations, the Appointing Committee may elect to aggregate all Employees employed by the Employer for purposes of determining compliance by the Plan with the ADP Test of PR Code Section 1081.01 and the determination of Highly Compensated Puerto Rico Participants.

A.7. Adjustment of a Puerto Rico Participant’s Salary Deferral Contributions. An Employer may, in its sole discretion, decrease or suspend the amount of the Salary Deferral Contribution of any Puerto Rico Participant if the Employer deems such decrease or suspension to be necessary to satisfy any of the following:

(a) the limits described in Section A.4 of this Appendix A; or

(b) the nondiscrimination requirement of Section A.6 of this Appendix A.

A.8. Individual Transfers and Rollover Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, individual transfers and rollovers to the Plan under Sections 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) of the Plan, respectively, by a Puerto Rico Participant are limited to the amounts transferred or distributed from an employee plan that also qualifies under both PR Code Section 1081.01(a) and under Code Section 401(a).

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Puerto Rico Participant’s benefit is to be distributed in the form of a Direct Rollover distribution, pursuant to the election provided in Section 6.5(b) of the Plan, such Direct Rollover distribution may only be made to a Puerto Rico Eligible Retirement Plan that is also an Eligible Retirement Plan as defined in Section 6.5(d) of the Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Puerto Rico Eligible Retirement Plan” shall mean a qualified plan and trust as described in PR Code Section 1081.01(a).

A.9. Automatic Rollovers. The provisions of Section 6.3(f) of the Plan are not applicable with respect to Puerto Rico Participants.

A.10. Hardship Distributions. Puerto Rico Participants are eligible to receive hardship distributions for any reason included in Section 6.8 of the Plan, and for any other reason authorized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, so long as such reason is authorized by the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury. If a Puerto Rico Participant receives a distribution on account of heavy financial need pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Plan, he: (i) shall not be entitled to make Salary Deferral Contributions and any other employee contributions for twelve (12) months following the date of receipt of the hardship distribution, and (ii) for the taxable year following the year of the hardship distribution, the annual limitation imposed by the PR Code on Salary Deferral Contributions shall be reduced by the amount of Salary Deferral Contributions made in the year of the hardship distribution.

A-3

A.11. Catch-up Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Catch-up Eligible Puerto Rico Participants are permitted to make additional elective deferrals in any Plan Year in an amount not to exceed the dollar limitation provided under PR Code Section 1081.01(d)(7)(C), over the limitation on Salary Deferral Contributions as described in Section A.4 of this Appendix A. All Catch-up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the ADP Test set forth in Section A.6 of this Appendix A. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Catch-up Eligible Puerto Rico Participant” shall mean with respect to a taxable year, any Puerto Rico Participant who is age fifty (50) or older, or who is projected to attain the age of fifty (50) by the end of the year.

A.12. Roth 401(k) Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Puerto Rico Participants are not permitted to make Roth 401(k) Contributions.

A.13. Employer Contributions. To the extent permissible under ERISA, each contribution made by an Employer to the Plan with respect to a Puerto Rico Participant is expressly conditioned on the deductibility of such contribution under PR Code Section 1033.09 for the taxable year for which contributed. To the extent permissible under ERISA, if the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury disallows the deduction, or if the contribution was made by a mistake of fact, such contributions shall be returned to the Employer within one (1) year after the disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed), or after the payment of the contribution, respectively.

A.14. Payment of Contributions. Contributions made by an Employer to the Plan with respect to a Puerto Rico Participant shall be paid to the Trustee not later than the due date for filing the Employers’ Puerto Rico income tax return for the taxable year in which such payroll period falls, including any extension thereof.

A.15. Merger or Consolidation of the Plan. Solely with respect to the Puerto Rico Participants, any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of the Trust Fund to another trust, will be limited to the extent such other plan and trust are qualified under PR Code Section 1081.01(a).

A.16. Plan Termination or Discontinuance of Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to make any distribution from the Trust Fund to a Puerto Rico Participant in the event the Plan is terminated, until such time as the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury shall have determined in writing that such termination will not adversely affect the prior qualification of the Plan under the PR Code.

A.17. Governing Law. With respect to the Puerto Rico Participants and any Employer engaged in business in Puerto Rico, the Plan will be governed and construed according to the PR Code, where such law is not in conflict with applicable federal law.

A.18. Use of Terms. All terms and provisions of the Plan shall apply to this Appendix A, except that where the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Appendix A conflict, the terms and provisions of this Appendix A shall govern.
