The Company will establish and maintain a separate Account in the name of each Participant who has elected to defer Eligible Compensation under the Plan. The balance of each Account will reflect deferrals of Eligible Compensation as well as adjustments as reflected in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3. A Director may select between two deemed investment alternatives for deferrals of cash compensation: (i) an interest investment alternative (as provided in Section 3.3) or (ii) a Stock Unit investment alternative (as provided in Section 3.2). Investment elections must be specified at the time of the deferral election is made and cannot be changed until deferral elections are due for the next Plan Year. Deferrals of Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Director will be deferred into the Stock Unit investment alternative under Section 3.2 below. 3.2 Stock Unit Alternative. The Company shall credit a Participant’s Account, as of the date the Eligible Compensation would have been otherwise payable, with the number of Stock Units determined by dividing the deferred amount of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation otherwise payable in cash by the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on such date. 3.3 Interest Alternative. The Company shall credit a Participant’s Account as of the date the Eligible Compensation would have been otherwise payable, with an amount equal to the amount of the Eligible Compensation deferred. As of the last day of each calendar quarter, the Director’s Account shall be credited to reflect interest earnings for such calendar quarter, calculated at an interest rate equal to the prime rate of interest as designated by the Committee periodically. 3.4 Limitations on Rights Associated with Stock Units. The Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the amount of the actual shares of Company Stock to be eventually distributed to the Participant in accordance with this Plan. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. Participants in this Plan shall not be entitled to voting or other stockholder rights with respect to Stock Units credited under this Plan. ARTICLE IV Distribution of Account 4.1 Manner of Distribution. Distribution of the Participant’s Account held in Stock Units shall be made in actual shares of Company Stock. Distribution of the Participant’s Account balance held pursuant to the interest election shall be distributed in cash.

This Plan may be amended, modified, or terminated by the Board at any time, except that no such action shall (without the consent of affected Participants or, if appropriate, their respective Beneficiaries or personal representatives) adversely affect the rights of Participants or Beneficiaries with respect to amounts deferred under this Plan prior to the date of such amendment, modification, or termination. ARTICLE VI Miscellaneous Provisions 6.1 Limitation on Participant’s Rights; Funding. This Plan shall only create a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to such amounts and shall not be construed as creating a trust; provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, establish a grantor trust, commonly known as a rabbi trust, as a vehicle for accumulating assets to satisfy its obligations under the Plan. The Plan in and of itself has no assets. Participants shall have only the rights of general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to amounts credited to or payable from their Account(s). 6.2 Beneficiary Designation. Subject to applicable laws (including any applicable community property and probate laws), each Participant may designate in writing the Beneficiary that the Participant chooses to receive any payments that become payable after the Participant’s death. A Participant’s Beneficiary designation shall be made on forms provided and in accordance with procedures established by the Company and may be changed by the Participant at any time before the Participant’s death. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if such designation is ineffective, any payment that would have otherwise been made shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 6.3 Benefits Not Transferable; Obligations Binding Upon Successors. Benefits of a Participant under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable and any purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or attachment of any payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest thereon, other than pursuant to Section 6.2, shall not be permitted or recognized. Obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon successors of the Company.
64873997_1 5 6.4 Section 409A. It is the intention that the provisions of this Plan comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the Treasury regulations and other guidance promulgated or issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and after application of all available exemptions, including but not limited to, the “short-term deferral rule” and “involuntary separation pay plan exception” and the provisions of this Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. The Company shall not have any liability to Participants with respect to tax obligations that result under any tax law and makes no representation with respect to the tax treatment of the payments and/or benefits provided under this Plan. Any provision required for compliance with Section 409A that is omitted from this Plan shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall apply retroactively, if necessary, and be deemed a part of this Plan to the same extent as though expressly set forth herein. If, and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Plan providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” (excluding death) within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Plan, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” (excluding death). If you are deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee,” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then with regard to any payment or the providing of any benefit made under this Plan, to the extent required to be delayed in compliance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and any other payment or the provision of any other benefit that is required to be delayed in compliance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of your “separation from service” or (ii) the date of your death. On the first day of the seventh month following the date of your “separation from service,” or if earlier, on the date of your death, all payments delayed pursuant to this subparagraph and Section 409A (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to you in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Plan shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Plan, each separately identified amount to which you are entitled under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, any series of installment payments under this Plan, shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments under Section 409A, including Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). 6.5 Governing Law; Severability. The validity of this Plan or any of its provisions shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of Oklahoma. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.
