Article 4. Stock Subject to the Plan

4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to Section 4.2 herein, the maximum number of shares of Stock available for awards under the Plan shall be 103,630,000 shares (which includes 37,000,000 shares originally provided in the Plan as approved by stockholders in 2001, 12,000,000 shares as approved by stockholders in 2006, 21,380,000 shares as approved by stockholders in 2009, 19,850,000 shares as approved by stockholders in 2013, and 13,400,000 additional shares as approved by stockholders in 2019), plus 6,815,597 shares of Stock remaining for awards pursuant to the terms of The Allstate Corporation Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares of Stock to which an Award pertains shall be counted against the maximum share limitation of this Section 4.1

as two and one-tenth (2.1) shares of Stock for each Full-Value Award and as one (1) share of Stock for each other type of Award. Shares of Stock underlying lapsed or forfeited Awards of Restricted Stock shall not be treated as having been issued pursuant to an Award under the Plan. Shares of Stock that are potentially deliverable under an Award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise settled without delivery of shares of Stock shall not be treated as having been issued under the Plan. With respect to an SAR that is settled in Stock, the full number of shares underlying the exercised portion of the SAR shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan, regardless of the number of shares used to settle the SAR upon exercise. Shares of Stock that are tendered or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to an Award or to satisfy the Option Exercise Price related to an Option or other Award shall be deemed to be shares of Stock issued under the Plan. If, before June 30, 2003, the Option Exercise Price was satisfied by tendering Stock, only the number of shares issued net of the shares tendered shall be deemed issued under the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, if a share of Stock that underlies an Award other than a Full-Value Award was counted against the maximum share limitation of this Section 4.1 and pursuant to this Section 4.1 subsequently is treated as having not been issued under the Plan, the maximum share limitation of this Section 4.1 shall be credited with one share of Stock, and if a share of Stock pertaining to a Full-Value Award was counted against the maximum share limitation of this Section 4.1 and pursuant to this Section 4.1 subsequently is treated as having not been issued under the Plan, the maximum share limitation of this Section 4.1 shall be credited with 2.1 shares of Stock. Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be (i) authorized but unissued shares of common stock or (ii) treasury stock.

4.2 Adjustments in Authorized Stock and Awards. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718) that causes the per share value of shares of Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Committee shall cause there to be made an equitable adjustment to (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock available for grant under the Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Stock or Awards that may be granted to any individual under the Plan or that may be granted pursuant to the Plan any Articles or any type of Award, and (iii) the number and kind of shares of Stock or units subject to and the Option Exercise Price or Base Value (if applicable) of any then outstanding Awards of or related to shares of Stock. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence shall be made as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. In either case, any such adjustment shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board upon recommendation of the Committee, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award shall always be a whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each such adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code and (ii) in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to be other than an incentive stock option for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

4.3 Award Limitations. Subject to Section 4.2 above, the following limitations shall apply to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation: (i) the total number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options or SARs may be granted in any calendar year to any Eligible Person shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares; (ii) the total number of shares of Qualified Restricted Stock or Qualified Restricted Stock Units that may be granted in any calendar year to

any Eligible Person shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares or Units, as the case may be; (iii) the total number of shares of Performance Stock that may be granted in any calendar year to any Eligible Person shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares and the maximum amount that may be paid pursuant to Performance Units granted in any one calendar year to any Eligible Person shall not exceed $10,000,000; (iv) the total number of shares of Stock granted pursuant to Article 10 herein in any calendar year to any Eligible Person shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares; (v) the total cash Award that may be paid pursuant to an Award granted under Article 10 herein in any calendar year to any Eligible Person shall not exceed $10,000,000; and (vi) the aggregate value of cash dividends (other than large, nonrecurring cash dividends) or Dividend Equivalents that a Participant may receive in any calendar year shall not exceed $11,500,000.

Subject to Section 4.2 above, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options shall be 5,500,000 shares.

The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of shares of Stock subject to Options granted to each Eligible Person (subject to Article 4 herein) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such Options. The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination thereof.

6.2 Option Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Option Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Exercise Price, the term of the Option (which shall not be greater than ten (10) years), the number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains, the Exercise Period, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, including but not limited to special provisions relating to a Change in Control. The Option Award Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or NQSO. The Option Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant. No Dividend Equivalents shall be provided with respect to Options.

6.3 Exercise of and Payment for Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve.

A Participant may exercise an Option at any time during the Exercise Period. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, or such method acceptable to the Company, setting forth the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is to

be exercised, accompanied by provision for full payment of the Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the final date on which any Option would otherwise be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Plan is not a Business Day, the day on which such Option may be exercised is the last Business Day immediately preceding such date.

The Option Exercise Price shall be payable in the discretion of the Committee: (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by tendering (by actual delivery of shares or by attestation) previously acquired Stock (owned for at least six months) having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Exercise Price, (iii) by broker-assisted cashless exercise, (iv) with respect to Options granted on and after May 16, 2006, by share withholding, or (v) by a combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and/or (iv).

Options may not be exercised for less than 25 shares of Stock unless the exercise represents the entire remaining balance of the Award.

Stock received upon exercise of an Option may be granted subject to restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.

6.4 Termination. Each Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option upon Termination of Employment. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee (subject to applicable law), shall be included in the Option Award Agreement entered into with Participants, need not be uniform among all Options granted pursuant to the Plan or among Participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

To the extent the Option Award Agreement does not set forth termination provisions, the provisions of Article 13 shall control.

6.5 Transferability of Options. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or his or her legal representative, and no Option granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. ISOs are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to grant (or to sanction by way of amendment to an existing Award) Nonqualified Stock Options, the vested portions of which may be transferred by the Participant during his lifetime to any Family Member or pursuant to a domestic relations order. A transfer of an Option pursuant hereto may only be effected by the Company at the written request of a Participant and shall become effective only when recorded in the Company's record of outstanding Options. A transferred Option shall continue to be governed by and subject to the terms and limitations of the Plan and the relevant Award Agreement, and the transferee shall be entitled to the same rights as the Participant, as if no transfer had taken place. In no event shall an Option be transferred for consideration or transferred to a third-party financial institution.

6.6 Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary who shall have the right to exercise the Option in the event of the Participant’s death. Participants shall designate a Beneficiary by executing a Beneficiary Designation Form. A Beneficiary designation is not binding on the

Company unless it receives a properly completed Beneficiary Designation Form prior to the Participant’s death. If no designation is made or no designated Beneficiary is alive (or in the case of an entity designated as a Beneficiary, in existence) at the time of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s spouse or, if no spouse exists, the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall have the right to exercise the Option. If there is any question as to the legal right of any Beneficiary to exercise the Option under the Plan, the Company may determine in its sole discretion whether to provide the right of exercise to the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate. The Company’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons, and it will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such Option.

(b) A Participant may change an earlier Beneficiary designation by executing a later Beneficiary Designation Form. The execution of a Beneficiary Designation Form revokes and rescinds any prior Beneficiary Designation Form.

6.7 Automatic Exercise. Any unexercised Option granted on or after May 21, 2013, and before February 19, 2014 will be exercised automatically on behalf of the Participant using broker-assisted cashless exercise or other payment method provided under the Plan at the discretion of the Committee on the Business Day immediately preceding the expiration date of the original term as stated in the Option Award Agreement if:

(i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock exceeds the Option Exercise Price in the applicable Option Award Agreement on that Business Day, and

(ii) the exercise would result in the payment to Participant of at least $.01 or delivery of at least one share of Stock after payment of the exercise price, any applicable fees and commissions, and all applicable withholding taxes (assuming the appropriate minimum statutory withholding rate).

A Participant may elect not to have automatic exercise apply by written notice to the Committee at any time within the six-month period before the automatic exercise day above.

Article 7. Stock Appreciation Rights

7.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, an SAR may be granted to an Eligible Person at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SARs.

The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Eligible Person (subject to Article 4 herein) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs.

7.2 SAR Award Agreement. Each SAR award shall be evidenced by an SAR Award Agreement that shall specify the number of SARs granted, the Base Value (which shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant),the term of the SAR (which shall not be greater than ten (10) years), the Exercise Period, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, including but not limited to special provisions relating to a Change in Control. No Dividend Equivalents shall be provided with respect to SARs.

7.3 Exercise and Payment of SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Stock subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares of Stock for which its related Option is then exercisable.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Option Exercise Price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Exercise Price of the ISO; and (iv) the Tandem SAR may be transferred only when the underlying ISO is transferable, and under the same conditions.

Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion, imposes upon them.

A Participant may exercise an SAR at any time during the Exercise Period. SARs shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, or such method acceptable to the Company, setting forth the number of SARs being exercised. Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount equal to the product of:

(a) the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over (ii) the Base Value multiplied by

(b) the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the final date on which any SAR would otherwise be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Plan is not a Business Day, the day on which such SAR may be exercised is the last Business Day immediately preceding such date.

At the sole discretion of the Committee, the payment to the Participant upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in shares of Stock of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

7.4 Termination. Each SAR Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the SAR upon Termination of Employment. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee (subject to applicable law), shall be included in the SAR Award Agreement entered into with Participants, need not be uniform among all SARs granted pursuant to the Plan or among Participants, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

To the extent the SAR Award Agreement does not set forth termination provisions, the provisions of Article 13 shall control.

7.5 Transferability of SARs. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, all SARs granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such

Participant or his or her legal representative, and no SAR granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. To the extent the Committee permits the transfer of an SAR, in no event shall an SAR be transferred for consideration or transferred to a third-party financial institution.

7.6 Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary who shall have the right to exercise the SARs in the event of the Participant’s death. Participants shall designate a Beneficiary by executing a Beneficiary Designation Form. A Beneficiary designation is not binding on the Company unless it receives a properly completed Beneficiary Designation Form prior to the Participant’s death. If no designation is made or no designated Beneficiary is alive (or in the case of an entity designated as a Beneficiary, in existence) at the time of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s spouse, or if no spouse exists, the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall have the right to exercise the SARs. If there is any question as to the legal right of any Beneficiary to exercise the SARs under the Plan, the Company may determine in its sole discretion whether to provide the right of exercise to the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate. The Company’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons, and it will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such SARs.

8.1 Grant of Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock, and/or Restricted Stock Units may be granted to an Eligible Person at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee.

The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of shares of Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock, and/or Restricted Stock Units granted to each Eligible Person (subject to Article 4 herein) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such Awards.

In addition, the Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units as Qualified Restricted Stock or Qualified Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, in which event it will condition the granting or vesting, as applicable, of such Qualified Restricted Stock or Qualified Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, upon the attainment of the Performance Goals selected by the Committee and such other conditions as the Committee may determine based on employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

8.2 Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Each grant of Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock, and/or Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of shares of Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock, and/or Restricted Stock Units granted, the initial value (if applicable), the Period or Periods of

Restriction (if applicable), and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, including but not limited to special provisions relating to a Change in Control.

8.3 Transferability. Except pursuant to a domestic relations order or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement. During the applicable Period of Restriction, all rights with respect to the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant or his or her legal representative.

8.4 Certificates. No certificates representing Stock shall be delivered to a Participant, and no book entry representing delivery of Stock to a Participant shall be made, until such time as all restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied.

8.5 Removal of Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the Period of Restriction applicable thereto. Once Restricted Stock is released from the restrictions, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a certificate representing such Stock or shall be entitled to book entry delivery of such Stock.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay Restricted Stock Units in cash or in shares of Stock of equivalent value (or in some combination thereof) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the Restricted Stock Units at the close of the applicable Period of Restriction.

8.6 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock.

8.7 Dividends and Other Distributions. Subject to the Committee’s right to determine otherwise at the time of grant, during the Period of Restriction, Participants shall receive all cash dividends, other than large, nonrecurring cash dividends, paid promptly with respect to the Restricted Stock while they are so held, after the vesting of the Restricted Stock. All other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Stock shall be credited to Participants subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid and shall be paid to the Participant promptly after the full vesting of the Restricted Stock with respect to which such distributions were made.

Rights, if any, to Dividend Equivalents on Restricted Stock Units shall be established by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Award Agreement, but in no event shall Participants receive any Dividend Equivalents prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they are paid. In addition, with respect to both Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units with performance-based vesting, any dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the performance-based vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units vest.

8.8 Termination. Each Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive Restricted Stock and/or

a Restricted Stock Unit payment following termination of the Participant's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with Participants, need not be uniform among all grants of Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units or among Participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

To the extent the Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement does not set forth termination provisions, the provisions of Article 13 shall control.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Performance Stock in cash or in Stock (or in a combination thereof), which has an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Performance Stock at the close

Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee (subject to applicable law), shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with Participants, need not be uniform among all grants of Performance Units/Performance Stock or among Participants, and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination.

To the extent the Performance Unit/Performance Stock Award Agreement does not set forth termination provisions, the provisions of Article 13 shall control.

9.7 Transferability. Except pursuant to a domestic relations order or as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant's rights with respect to Performance Units/Performance Stock granted under the Plan shall be available during the Participant's lifetime only to such Participant or the Participant's legal representative and Performance Units/Performance Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Article 12. Rights of Participants

12.1 Termination. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment or other relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary at any time, for any reason or no reason in the

Company's or the Subsidiary's sole discretion, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or otherwise in any relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary.

12.2 Participation. No Eligible Person shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

12.3 Limitation of Implied Rights. Neither a Participant nor any other Person shall, by reason of the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any Person.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

12.4 Waiver. Each Participant, by acceptance of an Award, waives all rights to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief and acknowledges that he has an adequate remedy at law in the form of damages.

Article 13. Termination of Employment

If a Participant has a Termination of Employment, then, unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in the Award Agreement, all Awards shall terminate and be forfeited on the date of such Termination of Employment.

Article 14. Sub-Plans for Employees of Foreign Subsidiaries

The Committee may authorize the adoption of sub-plans of the Plan, including, without limitation, as the Committee deems necessary or desirable to comply with the laws of, or to accommodate the tax policy, accounting principles or custom of, foreign jurisdictions whose residents may be granted Awards ("Foreign Sub-Plans”), and Awards granted under such Foreign Sub-Plans may be treated as Awards under the Plan, if the Committee so determines. Such Foreign Sub- Plans shall have such terms and provisions as the Committee permits not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and which may be more restrictive than those contained in the Plan. Awards granted under such Foreign Sub-Plans shall be governed by the terms of the Plan except to the extent that the provisions of the Foreign Sub-Plans are more restrictive than the terms of the Plan, in which case such terms of the Foreign Sub-Plans shall control.

Article 15. Amendment, Modification, and Termination

The Board may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no amendment shall be made which shall increase the total number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan, materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, or materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, in each case unless such amendment is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award, unless such termination, modification, or amendment is required by applicable law and except as otherwise provided herein.

Article 16. Payment for Awards and Withholding

16.1 Payment for Awards. In the event a Participant is permitted to elect to pay the Option Exercise Price or make payment for any other Award through tender of previously acquired Stock, (i) only a whole number of share(s) of Stock (and not fractional shares of Stock) may be tendered in payment, (ii) such Participant must present evidence acceptable to the Company that he has owned any such shares of Stock tendered in payment (and that such shares of Stock tendered have not been subject to any substantial risk of forfeiture) for at least six months prior to the date of exercise, and (iii) Stock must be tendered to the Company, either by actual delivery of the shares or by attestation. When payment is made by tender of Stock, the difference, if any, between the aggregate amount payable and the Fair Market Value of the share(s) of Stock tendered in payment (plus any applicable taxes) shall be paid by check. No Participant may tender shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value exceeding the aggregate Option Exercise Price or other payment due.

16.2 Notification under Section 83(b). If the Participant, in connection with the exercise of any Option, or the grant of any share of Restricted Stock, makes the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code (i.e., an election to include in such Participant's gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code), such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under the authority of Section 83(b) of the Code.

16.3 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount (including any Stock withheld as provided below) sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to an Award made under the Plan.

16.4 Stock Withholding. With respect to tax withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or upon any other taxable event arising out of or as a result of Awards granted hereunder, Participants may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by tendering Stock held by the Participant (by actual delivery of the shares or by attestation) or by having the Company withhold Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory total withholding tax which could be imposed on the transaction, or such other limitations as will not cause adverse accounting consequences or cost, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Award Agreement with respect to a Participant subject to tax withholding in any foreign jurisdiction in which there is no

minimum statutory withholding rates. All elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing (or other method acceptable to the Company) and signed by the Participant. In the event a Participant fails to make an election by the date required, the Participant will be deemed to have made an election to have the Company withhold Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory total withholding tax which could be imposed on the transaction.

Article 17. Repayment of Awards

17.1 Restatements (for awards granted prior to February 19, 2020). In the event of a restatement of the Company's financial results to correct a material error or inaccuracy resulting in whole or in part from the fraud or intentional misconduct of a Section 16 Officer, as determined by the Board or a committee thereof, the Company shall have the authority, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to

(i) cancel or cause to be cancelled any or all of such Section 16 Officer's outstanding Awards granted after May 19, 2009;

(ii) recover or cause to be recovered any or all "Proceeds" (as defined below) resulting from any sale or other disposition (including to the Company) of shares of Stock issued or issuable upon vesting, settlement, or exercise, as the case may be, of any Award granted to such Section 16 Officer after May 19, 2009, plus a reasonable rate of interest; and/or

(iii) recover or cause to be recovered any cash paid or shares of Stock issued to such Section 16 Officer in connection with any vesting, settlement, or exercise of an Award granted after May 19, 2009, plus a reasonable rate of interest.

The term "Proceeds" means, with respect to any sale or other disposition (including to the Company) of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award, an amount determined by the Committee, (a) in the case of an Award other than an Option or SAR, up to the amount equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Stock at the time of such sale or other disposition multiplied by the number of shares sold or disposed of, or (b) in the case of an Option or SAR, up to the amount equal to the number of shares of Stock sold or disposed of multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock at the time of such sale or disposition over the Option Exercise Price or Base Value, as applicable. The return of Proceeds is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company or any other actions as may be taken by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Committee with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties.

17.2 Clawback Policy (for awards granted on or after February 19, 2020). Awards granted on or after February 19, 2020 will be subject to The Allstate Corporation Clawback Policy adopted by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

17.3 No Limitation on Other Rights. Nothing contained in this Article 17 shall be deemed to limit any additional legal or equitable rights or remedies the Company may have under applicable law, any policy adopted by the Company, or the terms of any Award Agreement or other agreement with the Participant, to seek cancellation of any Award or repayment of any Stock or other amounts paid pursuant to such Award.

Article 18. Successors

All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

Article 19. Legal Construction

19.1 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

19.2 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

19.3 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Stock under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

19.4 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, except with regard to conflicts of law provisions.

19.5 Code Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service ("Section 409A"), and the Plan and any Awards granted under the Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A, payments in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A, which action may include, but is not limited to, delaying payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A until the first day following the six-month period beginning on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment. No action or failure by the Committee or the Company in good faith to act, pursuant to this Section 19.5 shall subject the Committee, the Company, or any of the Company’s employees, directors, or representatives to any claim, liability, or expense, and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Participant from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A.
