INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report includes “forward-looking statements” as defined by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such statements are those concerning strategic plans, our expectations and objectives for future operations, as well as other future events or conditions. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare our December 31, 2013 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from our expectations due to a number of factors, such as changes in the supply of and demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and related products and services; exploration or drilling programs; our ability to successfully complete mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; political or regulatory events; general economic and financial market conditions; and other risks and factors discussed in this report.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon Energy Corporation, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Devon and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in non-controlled entities, over which Devon has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. In applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently adjusted for Devon’s proportionate share of earnings, losses, and distributions. Investments accounted for using the equity method and cost method are reported as a component of other long-term assets.
As discussed more fully in Note 2, on March 7, 2014, Devon completed a business combination whereby Devon controls both EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) and its general partner entity, EnLink Midstream, LLC (“EnLink”). Devon controls both the Partnership’s and EnLink’s operations; therefore, the Partnership and EnLink’s accounts are included in Devon’s accompanying consolidated financial statements subsequent to the completion of the transaction. The portions of the Partnership and EnLink’s net earnings and stockholders’ equity not attributable to Devon’s controlling interest are shown separately as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings and consolidated balance sheets.
Intangible Assets
EnLink’s long-term assets include intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefits, which range from fifteen to twenty years.
2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Formation of EnLink Midstream, LLC and EnLink Midstream Partners, LP
On March 7, 2014, Devon, Crosstex Energy, Inc. and Crosstex Energy, LP (together with Crosstex Energy, Inc., “Crosstex”) completed a business combination to combine substantially all of Devon’s U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex’s assets to form a new midstream business. The new business consists of the Partnership and EnLink, a master limited partnership and a general partner entity, respectively, which are both publicly traded entities.
In exchange for a controlling interest in both EnLink and the Partnership, Devon contributed its equity interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP (“EnLink Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. EnLink Holdings owns Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the Cana and Arkoma Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt. Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership and EnLink each own 50 percent of EnLink Holdings.

The ownership of EnLink is approximately:
 
 	•	 	70% - Devon	
 
 	•	 	30% - Public unitholders	
The ownership of the Partnership is approximately:
 
 	•	 	52% - Devon	
 
 	•	 	41% - Public unitholders	
 
 	•	 	7% - EnLink	
This business combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, EnLink Holdings was the accounting acquirer because its parent company, Devon, obtained control of EnLink and the Partnership as a result of the business combination. Consequently, EnLink Holdings’ assets and liabilities retained their carrying values. Additionally, the Crosstex assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Partnership and EnLink in the business combination, as well as EnLink’s noncontrolling interest in the Partnership, were recorded at their fair values which were measured as of the acquisition date, March 7, 2014. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of Crosstex’s net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis pending receipt of a final valuation report and is subject to material change.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimate of the purchase price and its allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions, except unit price).

Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.	
GeoSouthern Energy Acquisition
On November 20, 2013, Devon entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with GeoSouthern Energy Corporation (“GeoSouthern”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of GeoSouthern to acquire GeoSouthern’s interests in certain affiliates (the “Acquired Companies”) that own certain oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interest and related assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale. On February 28, 2014, the GeoSouthern acquisition closed and GeoSouthern transferred the Acquired Companies to Devon in exchange for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.0 billion. Devon funded the acquisition price with cash on hand and debt financing. In connection with the GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon acquired approximately 82,000 net acres located in DeWitt and Lavaca counties in south Texas. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to material change. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (in millions).

Canadian Conventional Assets Divestiture
In November 2013, Devon announced plans to divest certain non-core properties located throughout Canada and the U.S. In the first quarter of 2014, Devon completed minor divestiture transactions for $142 million. On April 1, 2014, Devon sold the majority of its Canadian conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.7 billion after taxes ($3.125 billion in Canadian dollars).
3. Derivative Financial Instruments
Objectives and Strategies
Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to commodity price volatility and typically include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. Additionally, EnLink manages its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices by hedging the impact of market fluctuations.
Devon does not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.
Counterparty Credit Risk
By using derivative financial instruments, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts contain provisions that provide for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure and the credit rating of the counterparty. As of March 31, 2014, Devon did not hold any cash collateral from its counterparties.

5. Asset Impairments
In the first quarter of 2013, Devon recognized asset impairments related to its oil and gas property and equipment as presented below.

Total asset impairments	  	$	1,913	  	  	$	1,308	  	
	  	 	 	 	  	 	 	 	
Oil and Gas Impairments
Under the full-cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full-cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling is calculated separately for each country and is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months.
The oil and gas impairments resulted primarily from declines in the U.S. and Canada full-cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, bitumen and NGLs, which reduced proved reserve values.

6. Restructuring Costs
Canadian Divestitures
In the first quarter of 2014, Devon recognized $37 million of estimated employee related costs associated with its Canadian non-core asset divestitures. Approximately $14 million of the employee related costs resulted from accelerated vesting of share-based grants, which are non-cash charges.
Office Consolidation
In October 2012, Devon announced plans to consolidate its U.S. personnel into a single operations group centrally located at the company’s headquarters in Oklahoma City. As of December 31, 2013, Devon had completed this initiative and incurred $134 million of restructuring costs associated with the office consolidation.

The table below provides a summary of Devon’s goodwill, by assigned reporting unit. The changes to Devon’s goodwill in the first quarter of 2014 largely relate to EnLink. Included in the assets Devon contributed to EnLink Holdings was $402 million of goodwill, which is in the table below. The additional EnLink goodwill of $3.4 billion represents the goodwill recognized on the EnLink transaction described in Note 2. The decrease in Devon’s Canadian goodwill was primarily due to changes in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar, as well as goodwill removed in conjunction with minor asset divestitures.

Credit Lines
Devon has a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”). As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65 percent. As of March 31, 2014, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 28.3 percent.
Term Loans
In December 2013, in conjunction with the GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon entered into a term loan agreement with a group of major financial institutions. In February 2014, Devon drew $2.0 billion of term loans to finance, in part, the GeoSouthern acquisition and to pay transaction costs. Under the term loan agreement, $1.0 billion of the term loans have a maturity of three years, and the remaining $1.0 billion have a maturity of five years (the “5-Year Loans”). The 5-Year Loans will provide for the partial amortization of principal during the last two years that they are outstanding. Loans outstanding under the term loan agreement, at Devon’s election, bear interest at various fixed rate options for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However, Devon may elect to borrow at the prime rate.
Devon intends to repay the $2.0 billion term loans in the second quarter of 2014 using Canadian divestiture proceeds that will be repatriated to the U.S. Accordingly, amounts outstanding under the term loans have been classified as short-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.
EnLink Debt
Senior Notes
The table below summarizes the fair value of EnLink’s debt as of March 7, 2014, the formation date of EnLink. The premiums are being amortized using the effective interest method. EnLink’s debt is non-recourse to Devon.

Credit Facilities
The Partnership has a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $500 million letter of credit subfacility. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under the $1.0 billion credit facility.
The $1.0 billion credit facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the initial funding date, which was March 7, 2014, unless EnLink requests, and the requisite lenders agree, to extend it pursuant to its terms. The credit facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EnLink’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility, which definition includes projected EnLink EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If EnLink consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50 million or more, the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EnLink’s consolidated EBITDA will increase to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter of the acquisition and the three following quarters.
EnLink also has a $250 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $125 million letter of credit subfacility, as well as an additional credit agreement in association with E2 Energy Services LLC under which EnLink can borrow up to $20 million. As of March 31, 2014, EnLink’s outstanding borrowings under the $250 million credit facility was $103 million and $15 million in association with the E2 Energy Services LLC credit agreement.
The $250 million credit facility will mature on March 7, 2019. The credit facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. The financial covenants will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter, and include (i) maintaining a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) of 4.00 to 1.00, provided that the maximum consolidated leverage ratio is 4.50 to 1.00 during an acquisition period (as defined in the credit facility) and (ii) maintaining a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) of 2.50 to 1.00 at all times prior to the occurrence of an investment grade event (as defined in the credit facility).

16. Stockholders’ Equity
Dividends
Devon paid common stock dividends of $90 million and $81 million in the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The quarterly cash dividend was $0.20 per share in the first quarter of 2013. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.22 per share in the second quarter of 2013.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.
Royalty Matters
Numerous oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, made improper deductions, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing arrangements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon’s largest exposure for such matters relates to royalties associated with Devon’s operations in New Mexico. Devon expects to mediate or go to trial before the end of 2014 as ordered by the court in the first quarter of 2014. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.
Environmental Matters
Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured remediation costs. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Other Matters
Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Cash equivalents — Amounts consist primarily of U.S. and Canadian treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Cash equivalents — Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.
Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives — The fair values of commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements.

Debt — Devon’s debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of Devon’s commercial paper and EnLink’s credit facility is the carrying value.
Obligations under capital leases — The fair value of obligations under capital leases was calculated using inputs from third-party banks.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Long-term investments — Devon’s long-term investments as of December 31, 2013 consisted entirely of auction rate securities. In the first quarter of 2014, Devon redeemed all these securities for approximately $57 million, or $5 million below their carrying value.
19. Segment Information
Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian operating segment is reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s U.S. and Canadian segments are all primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration and production activities.
With the formation of EnLink in the first quarter of 2014, Devon considers EnLink to be an operating segment that is distinct from its existing operating segments. EnLink’s operations consist of midstream assets and operations located across the United States. Additionally, EnLink has a management team that is primarily responsible for capital and resource allocation decisions. Therefore, EnLink is presented as a separate reporting segment. For the reporting periods prior to the formation of EnLink, Devon has reclassified, from its U.S. segment to the EnLink segment, all asset-level amounts related to the midstream assets that it contributed to EnLink Holdings.

 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in our results of operations and capital resources and uses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2013. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Overview of 2014 Results
Key components of our financial performance are summarized below.

 	  	Three Months Ended March 31,	 	
 	  	2014	 	  	2013	 	 	Change	 	
 	  	($ in millions, except per share amounts)	 	
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Devon	  	$	324	  	  	$	(1,339	) 	 	 	+124	% 	
Adjusted earnings attributable to Devon (1)	  	$	547	  	  	$	270	  	 	 	+103	% 	
Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Devon	  	$	0.79	  	  	$	(3.34	) 	 	 	+76	% 	
Adjusted earnings per share attributable to Devon (1)	  	$	1.34	  	  	$	0.66	  	 	 	+102	% 	
Production (MBoe/d)	  	 	  690.9	  	  	 	  686.9	  	 	 	+1	% 	
Realized price per Boe	  	$	41.13	  	  	$	29.18	  	 	 	+41	% 	
Adjusted operating income per Boe (2)	  	$	25.47	  	  	$	18.06	  	 	 	+41	% 	
Operating cash flow	  	$	1,410	  	  	$	1,002	  	 	 	+41	% 	
Capitalized costs	  	$	7,613	  	  	$	1,838	  	 	 	+314	% 	
Shareholder distributions	  	$	90	  	  	$	81	  	 	 	+11	% 	

(1)	Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share attributable to Devon are financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). For a description of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share attributable to Devon, as well as reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Measures” in this Item 2.	
(2)	Computed as revenues from commodity sales, commodity derivatives settlements and marketing and midstream operations, less expenses for lease operations, marketing and midstream operations, general and administrative, production and property taxes and interest, with the result divided by total production.	
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, our adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating income per Boe all increased compared to 2013. The improved 2014 results were driven primarily by increases in oil and gas prices, liquids volumes and oil realizations. These factors also contributed to higher adjusted operating cash flow, which when combined with a reduction in capital expenditures, excluding the GeoSouthern acquisition, caused our cash flow deficit to narrow considerably in 2014.
During the first quarter of 2014, we made significant progress toward three strategic initiatives that are focused on building value per share. On February 28, 2014, we closed the GeoSouthern acquisition and acquired GeoSouthern’s Eagle Ford Shale assets and operations in south Texas for approximately $6.0 billion. This acquisition included approximately 250 MMBoe of proved reserves. Additionally, during the month of March 2014, our Eagle Ford assets produced 49 MBoe/d, including 31 MBbls/d of oil.
Additionally, on March 7, 2014, we, Crosstex Energy, Inc. and Crosstex Energy, L.P. (collectively “Crosstex”) completed a transaction to combine substantially all of our U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex’s assets to form a new midstream business referred to as EnLink. This transaction, including Devon’s controlling ownership of EnLink, is described more fully in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2” in this report. The results of operations from our assets contributed to EnLink are included in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Additionally, the results of operations for all assets contributed to EnLink are included in our consolidated financial statements subsequent to the completion of the transaction. The portions of EnLink’s net earnings and stockholders’ equity not attributable to Devon’s controlling interest are shown separately as noncontrolling interests in our consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings and consolidated balance sheets.

Finally, on April 1, 2014, we sold the majority of our Canadian conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.7 billion after taxes ($3.125 billion in Canadian dollars). This divestiture included approximately 170 MMBoe of proved reserves. Production associated with the divested properties was approximately 79.0 MBoe/d, including 357 MMcf/d of natural gas. We expect to repatriate the divestiture proceeds to the U.S. in the second quarter of 2014 to repay borrowings used to fund a portion of the GeoSouthern acquisition.

Upstream sales increased $178 million in the first quarter of 2014 due to a 20 percent increase in our liquids production, partially offset by a 10 percent decline in our gas production. As a result of continued development of our oil properties, primarily in the Permian Basin, Mississippian-Woodford Trend and in our recently acquired Eagle Ford Shale properties, oil sales increased $209 million. Additionally, our NGL sales increased $38 million primarily as a result of continued drilling in the liquids-rich gas portions of the Cana-Woodford, Mississippian-Woodford Trend, Permian Basin and Eagle Ford. These increases were partially offset by declines in our dry gas production, which resulted in a $61 million decrease in sales. Bitumen sales decreased $8 million primarily due to higher royalties on our Jackfish thermal heavy oil projects in Canada.
Upstream sales increased $575 million in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to a 41 percent increase in our realized price without hedges. Gas sales were the most significantly impacted with an increase of $286 million, largely due to higher North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based. Oil and bitumen sales increased $251 million due to prices and realizations. Additionally, NGL sales increased $38 million as a result of an 11 percent increase in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributors to the higher liquids prices were an increase in the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price and tighter bitumen and heavy oil differentials as well as higher NGL prices in the Mont Belvieu, Texas index.
Oil, Gas and NGL Derivatives
A summary of our open commodity derivative positions is included in Note 3 to the financial statements included in “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements” of this report. The following tables provide financial information associated with our commodity derivatives. The first table presents the cash settlements and fair value gains and losses recognized as components of our revenues. The subsequent tables present our oil, bitumen, gas and NGL prices with, and without, the effects of the cash settlements. The prices do not include the effects of fair value gains and losses.

Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to various commodity derivatives. In addition to cash settlements, we also recognize fair value changes on our commodity derivatives in each reporting period. The changes in fair value result from new positions and settlements that occur during each period, as well as the relationships between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Including the cash settlements discussed above, our commodity derivatives incurred net losses of $320 million during both the first three months of 2014 and 2013.
Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Expenses

During the first three months of 2014, marketing and midstream operating profit increased $59 million, primarily due to higher prices and volumes. Of the $59 million increase, $47 million is attributable to EnLink’s operations. EnLink’s Oklahoma segment, which includes the Cana plant and gathering system, was the largest driver of the increase. The remaining increase in operating profit relates to Devon’s marketing activities.
Besides the impact to our overall operating profit, Devon’s marketing activities were the primary driver of the increases in both operating revenues and product purchases. The associated marketing revenues increased approximately $830 million while product purchases increased approximately $810 million in the comparative periods. The higher marketing revenues and product purchases are primarily due to new commitments we have entered into to secure capacity on downstream oil pipelines.

Table of Contents
LOE increased $1.12 per Boe during the first three months of 2014. The largest contributor to the higher unit cost relates to our Canadian operations. The higher Canadian unit costs largely result from higher Canadian royalties paid in the first quarter of 2014. As Canadian royalties increase, our net production volumes decrease, causing upward pressure on our per-unit operating costs. Improved price realizations, particularly related to our thermal heavy oil operations, resulted in higher royalties in the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, Jackfish 1 reached payout in the second quarter of 2013, contributing to higher royalties post payout. Besides an increase in Canadian royalties, upward cost pressures at Jackfish and Lloydminster also contributed to the higher per unit costs in Canada. The higher unit cost in the U.S. was primarily related to our liquids production growth, particularly in the Permian Basin and Rockies, where projects generally require a higher cost to produce per unit than our gas projects. Additionally, we experienced upward pressures on costs in certain operating areas, which also contributed to the higher LOE per Boe.

Net G&A and net G&A per Boe increased during the first three months of 2014 largely due to higher employee compensation and benefits, $22 million in one-time costs related to the EnLink and GeoSouthern transactions and lower capitalized G&A. The higher employee compensation and benefits costs were primarily related to share-based awards, which cause our G&A to be higher in the quarter in which our annual share-based grant is made. The grant related to our 2013 compensation cycle was made in the first quarter of 2014. The grant related to our 2012 compensation cycle was made in the fourth quarter of 2012. Additionally, higher employee severance costs in 2014 as well as expansion of our workforce as a part of growing production operations at certain of our key areas also contributed to the increase.

DD&A from our oil and gas properties increased during the first three months of 2014 largely due to higher DD&A rates. The higher rates resulted from our oil and gas drilling and development activities and the GeoSouthern acquisition, which were partially offset by the effect of the asset impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2013.

Oil and Gas Impairments
Under the full-cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a quarterly full-cost ceiling test. The oil and gas asset impairments resulted primarily from declines in the U.S. and Canada full-cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, bitumen and NGLs, which reduced proved reserve values.

Canadian Divestitures
In the first quarter of 2014, we recognized $37 million of estimated employee related costs associated with our Canadian non-core asset divestitures. Approximately $14 million of the employee related costs resulted from accelerated vesting of share-based grants, which are non-cash charges.
Office Consolidation
In the first quarter of 2013, we incurred $38 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation of our U.S. personnel into one location in Oklahoma City. This amount includes $23 million related to office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements that we ceased using as a part of the office consolidation. We also recognized $9 million of asset impairment charges for leasehold improvements and furniture associated with the office consolidation.

Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) was a significant source of capital in the first three months of 2014. Our operating cash flow increased 41 percent during 2014 primarily due to higher commodity prices, higher oil realizations and production growth, partially offset by higher expenses.
During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, our operating cash flow funded approximately 90 percent and 50 percent, respectively, of our capital expenditures, excluding the approximately $6.0 billion GeoSouthern acquisition. Leveraging our liquidity, we used cash balances and debt to fund the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures
The amounts in the table below reflect cash payments for capital expenditures, including cash paid for capital expenditures incurred in prior periods.

Total capital expenditures	  	$	7,518	  	  	$	1,926	  	
	  	 	 	 	  	 	 	 	
Our capital expenditures consist of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, our midstream operations and other corporate activities. The vast majority of our capital expenditures are for the acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties, which totaled $7.2 billion and $1.6 billion in the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in capital spending was due to the approximately $6.0 billion GeoSouthern acquisition. Excluding this acquisition, exploration and development capital spending decreased 18 percent in the first three months of 2014, primarily due to a decline in new venture acreage acquisitions and utilization of the drilling carries in 2014 from our Sinopec and Sumitomo joint venture arrangements.
Capital expenditures for our midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering systems and oil pipelines. Historically, our midstream capital expenditures have largely been impacted by our oil and gas drilling activities. However, in the future, our midstream capital expenditures will be impacted primarily by EnLink’s operations, as well as by our oil and gas drilling activities.
Debt Activity, Net
During the first three months of 2014, we increased our debt borrowings a net amount of $2.0 billion, which primarily related to additional borrowings used to fund a portion of the GeoSouthern acquisition cost. We also utilized net commercial paper borrowings of $257 million to fund capital expenditures in excess of our operating cash flow. Our debt decreased $500 million due to repayment of senior notes due on January 15, 2014. Additionally, our debt increased $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014 in connection with the EnLink transaction, which closed on March 7, 2014. This increase solely arises because we control EnLink and, therefore, consolidate EnLink’s accounts, including its debt, with Devon’s. EnLink’s debt is non-recourse to Devon.

In conjunction with the formation of EnLink, we paid $100 million to holders of EnLink’s publicly traded units in the first quarter of 2014.
Divestitures
In November 2013, we announced plans to divest certain non-core properties located throughout Canada and the U.S. In the first quarter of 2014, we completed minor divestiture transactions and received proceeds of $142 million.
Liquidity
Historically, our primary sources of capital and liquidity have been our operating cash flow, asset divestiture proceeds and cash on hand. Additionally, we maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow and cash balances. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include debt and equity securities that can be issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate the combination of these sources of capital will continue to be adequate to fund future capital expenditures, debt repayments and other contractual commitments. The following sections discuss changes to our liquidity subsequent to filing our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Operating Cash Flow
Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which are the prices of the oil, gas and NGLs we produce. We expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source of liquidity. To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized various derivative financial instruments to set minimum and maximum prices on a portion of our 2014 production. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 are presented in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 3” in this report.
Credit Availability
As of March 31, 2014, we had $3.0 billion of available capacity under our syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”), net of letters of credit outstanding. We also have access to $3.0 billion of short-term credit under our commercial paper program. At March 31, 2014, we had $1.6 billion of commercial paper borrowings outstanding.
The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65 percent. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 28.3 percent.

Table of Contents
The Partnership has a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $500 million letter of credit subfacility. EnLink also has a $250 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $125 million letter of credit subfacility, as well as an additional credit agreement in association with E2 Energy Services LLC under which EnLink can borrow up to $20 million. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under the $1.0 billion credit facility, and there was $103 million borrowed under the $250 million credit facility and $15 million borrowed in association with the E2 Energy Services LLC credit facility.
Asset Divestitures
On April 1, 2014, we sold the majority of our Canadian conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.7 billion after taxes ($3.125 billion in Canadian dollars). In the second quarter of 2014, we plan to repatriate the sale proceeds into the U.S. and repay the $2.0 billion term loan that funded a portion of the GeoSouthern acquisition cost.

(1)	Debt amounts represent scheduled maturities of our debt obligations at March 31, 2014, excluding $8 million of net premiums included in the carrying value of debt.	
(2)	Interest expense represents the scheduled cash payments on long-term, fixed-rate debt and an estimate of our floating-rate debt.	
(3)	Purchase obligation amounts represent contractual commitments primarily to purchase condensate at market prices for use at our heavy oil projects in Canada. We have entered into these agreements because condensate is an integral part of the heavy oil transportation process. Any disruption in our ability to obtain condensate could negatively affect our ability to transport heavy oil at these locations. Our total obligation related to condensate purchases expires in 2021. The value of the obligation in the table above is based on the contractual volumes and our internal estimate of future condensate market prices.	
(4)	Operational agreements represent commitments to transport or process certain volumes of oil, gas and NGLs for a fixed fee. We have entered into these agreements to aid the movement of our production to downstream markets. The operational agreements in the table above are as of March 31, 2014 but have been adjusted for the agreements transferred to Canadian Natural Resources Limited as a part of the sale of the Canadian conventional assets in April 2014.Operational agreements include approximately $2.2 billion of obligations between Devon and EnLink. The terms of the contracts with EnLink are summarized in the following table.

(5)	Asset retirement obligations represent estimated discounted costs for future dismantlement, abandonment and rehabilitation costs. The obligations in the table above are as of March 31, 2014 but have been adjusted for the estimated obligations transferred to Canadian Natural Resources Limited as a part of the sale of the Canadian conventional assets in April 2014.	
(6)	Drilling and facility obligations represent contractual agreements with third-party service providers to procure drilling rigs and other related services for developmental and exploratory drilling and facilities construction.	
(7)	Lease obligations consist primarily of non-cancelable leases for office space and equipment used in our daily operations.	
(8)	These amounts include $227 million related to uncertain tax positions. The “other” in the table above as of March 31, 2014 has been adjusted for the obligations transferred to Canadian Natural Resources Limited as a part of the sale of the Canadian conventional assets in April 2014.	
Critical Accounting Estimates
Devon conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31 each year. At October 31, 2013, the date of our last goodwill impairment test, the fair values of our U.S. and Canadian reporting units exceeded their related carrying values. The fair value of our U.S. reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. However, the fair value of our Canadian reporting unit is not substantially in excess of its carrying value. As of October 31, 2013, the fair value of our Canadian reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 11 percent. As of March 31, 2014, we had $2.7 billion of goodwill allocated to the Canadian reporting unit. Significant decreases to our stock price, decreases in commodity prices, negative deviations from projected Canadian reporting unit earnings or unfavorable changes in reserves could result in a goodwill impairment charge. A goodwill impairment charge would have no effect on liquidity or capital resources. However, it would adversely affect our results of operations in that period.
Non-GAAP Measures
We make reference to “adjusted earnings attributable to Devon” and “adjusted earnings per share attributable to Devon” in “Overview of 2014 Results” in this Item 2 that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures. Adjusted earnings attributable to Devon, as well as the per share amount, represent net earnings excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their published estimates of our financial results. Our non-GAAP measures are typically used as a quarterly performance measure. Items may appear to be recurring while comparing on an annual basis. In the below table, restructuring costs were incurred in each period. However, these costs relate to different restructuring programs. Amounts excluded for the first quarter of 2014 relate to our Canadian divestiture program and amounts excluded for the first quarter of 2013 relate to our office consolidation. For more information on our restructuring programs see Note 6 to the financial statements included in this report. We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of our performance to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. We also believe these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods and to the performance of our peers.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We have commodity derivatives that pertain to a portion of our production for the last nine months of 2014, as well as 2015 and 2016. The key terms to our open oil, gas and NGL derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 are presented in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 3” in this report.
The fair values of our commodity derivatives are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the relevant price indices. At March 31, 2014, a 10 percent change in the forward curves associated with our commodity derivative instruments would have changed our net asset positions by the following amounts:

 	  	10% Increase	 	 	10% Decrease	 	
 	  	(In millions)	 	
Gain (loss):	  				 				
Gas derivatives	  	$	(269	) 	 	$	235	  	
Oil derivatives	  	$	(597	) 	 	$	539	  	
Interest Rate Risk
At March 31, 2014, we had total debt outstanding of $15.5 billion. Of this amount, $11.0 billion bears fixed interest rates averaging 4.9 percent. The remaining $4.5 billion of debt is comprised of commercial paper borrowings that bear interest rates averaging 0.23 percent and floating rate debt that at March 31, 2014 had rates averaging 1.3 percent. Our commercial paper borrowings typically have maturities between 1 and 90 days.
As of March 31, 2014, we had open interest rate swap positions that are presented in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 3” in this report. The fair values of our interest rate swaps are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the 3 month LIBOR rate. A 10 percent change in these forward curves would not have materially impacted our balance sheet at March 31, 2014.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. A 10 percent unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not materially impact our March 31, 2014 balance sheet.
Our non-Canadian foreign subsidiaries have a U.S. dollar functional currency. However, one of these foreign subsidiaries holds Canadian-dollar cash and engages in short-term intercompany loans with Canadian subsidiaries that are based in Canadian dollars. The value of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans increases or decreases from the remeasurement of the cash and loans into the U.S. dollar functional currency. Additionally, at March 31, 2014, we held foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates on the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. The increase or decrease in the value of the forward contracts is offset by the increase or decrease to the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian-dollar cash and intercompany loans. Based on the amount of the cash and intercompany loans as of March  31, 2014, a 10 percent change in the foreign currency exchange rates would not have materially impacted our balance sheet.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of March 31, 2014, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Devon in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In conjunction with the formation of EnLink in the first quarter of 2014, we implemented additional internal controls related to EnLink’s financial amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. Except for these changes, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Under the Devon Energy Corporation Incentive Savings Plan (the “Plan”), eligible employees may purchase shares of our common stock through an investment in the Devon Stock Fund (the “Stock Fund”), which is administered by an independent trustee. Eligible employees purchased approximately 18,600 shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2014, at then-prevailing stock prices, that they held through their ownership in the Stock Fund. We acquired the shares of our common stock sold under the Plan through open-market purchases.
Similarly, under the Devon Canada Corporation Savings Plan (the “Canadian Plan”), eligible Canadian employees may purchase shares of our common stock through an investment in the Canadian Plan, which is administered by an independent trustee, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. Eligible Canadian employees purchased approximately 700 shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2014, at then-prevailing stock prices, that they held through their ownership in the Canadian Plan. We acquired the shares sold under the Canadian Plan through open-market purchases. These shares and any interest in the Canadian Plan were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions for offers and sales of securities made outside of the U.S., including under Regulation S for offers and sales of securities to employees pursuant to an employee benefit plan established and administered in accordance with the law of a country other than the U.S.

Rollover Contributions may include Roth Rollover Contributions but only to the extent that such amounts are transferred directly to the Plan on the Eligible Employee’s behalf by the trustee of an “applicable retirement plan” (as described in Code section 402A(e)(1)) and only to the extent that the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). If the amount received does not qualify as a rollover, the amount (plus any earnings attributable thereto) shall be refunded to the Eligible Employee. To the extent not attributable to Roth Rollover Contribution, Rollover Contributions shall be allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Rollover Account and invested in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VI.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Qualified Nonelective Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated in one of the following methods:

The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who returns from Qualified Military Service as described in subsection (a) and who is a Company Retirement Contribution Eligible Participant, an amount equal to the Company Retirement Contributions that would have been required under Section 4.04 had such Participant continued to be employed and received Compensation during the period of Qualified Military Service.
(c) Matching Contributions . The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who has made Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions under subsection (a), an amount equal to the Matching Contribution that would have been required under Section 4.05 had such Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions been made during the period of Qualified Military Service.
(d) Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions . The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who returns from Qualified Military Service as described in subsection (a), an amount equal to the Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions that would have been required under Section 4.07 had such Participant continued to be employed and received Compensation during the period of Qualified Military Service.
(e) Limitations on Contributions . To the extent required by Code sections 414(u) and 414(v), the Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made under this Section shall be subject to the limitations described in ARTICLE V for the Plan Year to which such contributions relate.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, any Salary Deferral, Roth 401(k) Contribution, Company Retirement Contribution, Matching Contribution, Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of a Participant while such Participant is on a period of Qualified Military Service shall reduce any Salary Deferral, Roth 401(k) Contribution, Company Retirement Contribution, Matching Contribution, Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions that can be made on behalf of such Participant under the terms of this Section if the Participant returns to employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Company following a period of Qualified Military Service.
4.09 Timing of Contributions . Company Retirement Contributions and Matching Contributions for any Plan Year under this Article shall be made no later than the last date on which amounts so paid may be deducted for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year of the Employer in which the Plan Year ends. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.07, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the contribution relates. Amounts contributed as Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon as administratively practicable following the month in which such contributions were withheld from the Participant’s Compensation. The requirements of this Section shall not apply to contributions made pursuant to Section 4.08 with respect to Qualified Military Service.
4.10 Contingent Nature of Contributions . Each contribution made by the Employer pursuant to the provisions of this Article is made expressly contingent on its deductibility for federal income tax purposes for the fiscal year with respect to which such contribution is made, and no such contribution shall be made for any year to the extent it would exceed the deductible limit for such year as set forth in Code section 404. Contributions by the Employer or any Affiliated Company for any Employee who should have been included as a Participant but was erroneously omitted, contributions necessary to satisfy the top heavy requirements of Code section 416, and contributions for reemployed Participants made to restore the undistributed portion of the reemployed Participant’s account balance are not conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution to the Employer or Affiliated Company.
4.11 Exclusive Benefit; Refund of Contributions . All contributions made to the Plan are made for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and such contributions shall not be used for, nor diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries (including the costs of maintaining and administering the Plan and corresponding trust). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that such refunds do not, in themselves, deprive the Plan of its qualified status, refunds of contributions shall be made to the Employer under the following circumstances and subject to the following limitations:
(a) Initial Nonqualification . If, upon the timely filing of a determination letter application on the qualified status of the Plan, the Plan is determined not to initially satisfy the qualification requirements of Code section 401(a), and if the Employer declines to amend the Plan to satisfy such qualification requirements of Code section 401(a), contributions made prior to the determination that the Plan has failed to qualify shall be returned to the Employer within one year of such determination.
 
21

(b) Disallowance of Deduction . To the extent that a federal income tax deduction is disallowed, in whole or in part, for any contribution made by an Employer, or such contribution is otherwise nondeductible and recovery thereof is permitted, the Trustee shall refund to the Employer the amount so disallowed within one year of the date of such disallowance or as otherwise permitted by applicable administrative rules.
(c) Mistake of Fact . In the case of a contribution that is made in whole or in part by reason of a mistake of fact, so much of the Employer contribution as is attributable to the mistake of fact shall be returnable to the Employer upon demand, upon presentation of evidence of the mistake of fact to the Trustee and of calculations as to the impact of such mistake. Demand and repayment must be effectuated within one year after the payment of the contribution to which the mistake applies.
In the event that any refund is paid to the Employer hereunder, such refund shall be made without regard to net investment gains attributable to the contribution, but shall be reduced to reflect net investment losses attributable thereto.

5.01 Calendar Year Limitation on Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions .
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions made on behalf of an active Participant under this Plan together with elective deferrals (as defined in Code section 402(g)) and Roth deferrals made under any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company shall not exceed such amount as is applicable for a calendar year under Code section 402(g) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder for any calendar year (including, if applicable, the amount of Salary Deferrals permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Plan for a calendar year as catch-up contributions under Code section 414(v)). Participants who formerly participated in another plan not maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company prior to their Employment Commencement Date may notify the Plan Administrator of such prior plan participation and shall provide documentation of any contributions credited under such prior plan. Furthermore, should a Participant claim that his Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions under this Plan when added to his other elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement (whether or not maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company) exceed the limit imposed by Code section 402(g) for the calendar year in which the deferrals occurred, the Committee shall distribute, by April 15 of the following calendar year, the amount of Salary Deferrals (including, if applicable, Salary Deferrals made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) as catch-up contributions) and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions specified in the Participant’s claim, plus income thereon determined in the manner described in Section 5.03(c) or recharacterize such excess Salary Deferrals as Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted by Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. The Participant’s claim shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the Committee prior to March 1 following the calendar year in which such deferrals occurred. A Participant shall be deemed to have made a claim for distribution of excess deferrals from the Plan to the extent that his Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions together with his elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company exceed the limit imposed by Code section 402(g) for the calendar year. For purposes of determining the necessary reduction, (1) Salary Deferrals previously distributed pursuant to Section 5.03(a) or returned to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.04 shall be treated as distributed under this Section, and (2) Salary Deferrals not taken into account in determining Matching Contributions under Section 4.05 shall be reduced first.
(b) In the event a Participant receives a distribution of excess Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions pursuant to subsection (a), the Participant shall forfeit any Matching Contributions (plus income thereon determined as described in Section 5.03(c)) allocated to the Participant by reason of the distributed Salary Deferrals and/or Roth 401(k) Contributions. Amounts forfeited shall be used first to reduce future Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.05 and then Company Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.04.

(1) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
(2) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by two; provided, that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the applicable Average Actual Deferral Percentage for all other active Participants by more than two percentage points.
(b) Matching Contribution Limitations . With respect to Matching Contributions for any Plan Year, one of the following tests must be satisfied:
(1) The Average Contribution Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
(2) The Average Contribution Percentage for active Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants for the Plan Year multiplied by two; provided, that the Average Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the applicable Average Contribution Percentage for all other active Participants by more than two percentage points.
(c) For purposes of subsections (a) and (b), this Plan shall be aggregated and treated as a single plan with other plans maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company to the extent that this Plan is aggregated with any such other plan for purposes of satisfying Code section 410(b) (other than Code section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)).
(d) If the Committee elects to apply Code section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether Salary Deferrals and any Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Salary Deferrals under Section 4.07 meet the requirements of Section 5.02(a) or determining whether Matching Contributions (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Salary Deferrals for the Plan Year under Section 4.07) meet the requirements of Section 5.02(b), the Committee may either exclude from consideration all Participants (other than Highly Compensated Employees) who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A), or disaggregate the Employees who have not met such minimum age and service requirements and test them separately.
 
24

(e) The determination and treatment of the Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and Qualified Matching Contributions, Actual Deferral Percentage and Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
5.03 Correction of Discriminatory Contributions .
(a) If the nondiscrimination tests of Section 5.02(a) are not satisfied with respect to Salary Deferrals for any Plan Year, the Committee shall (1) determine the amount by which the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in Section 5.02(a); (2) convert the excess percentage amount determined under clause (1) into a dollar amount; and (3) reduce the Salary Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the greatest dollar amount of Salary Deferrals by the lesser of (A) the amount by which the Highly Compensated Employee’s Salary Deferrals exceeds the Salary Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Salary Deferrals or (B) the amount of the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). This process shall be repeated until the Salary Deferrals of Highly Compensated Employees have been reduced by an amount equal to the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). The Salary Deferrals of any Highly Compensated Employee which must be reduced pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be reduced (i) first, by distributing Salary Deferrals not taken into account in determining Matching Contributions under Section 4.05, and (ii) then, by distributing Salary Deferrals not described in clause (i), within 12 months of the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the reduction applies, and the provisions of Section 5.01(b) regarding the forfeiture of related Matching Contributions shall apply. For purposes of determining the necessary reduction, Salary Deferrals previously distributed pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be treated as distributed under this Section 5.03(a) and Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall not be taken into account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Committee and in accordance with rules uniformly applicable to all affected Participants, the Actual Deferral Percentage reduction described in this Section may be accomplished, in whole or in part, by recharacterizing excess Salary Deferrals as Salary Deferrals contributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted by Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. For purposes of this subsection (a), Roth 401(k) Contributions shall be treated in the same manner as Salary Deferrals. To the extent the Participant made both Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions to the Plans, excess amounts shall be distributed from the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account before the Participant’s Roth 401(k) Contribution Account.
(b) If the nondiscrimination tests of Section 5.02(b) are not satisfied with respect to Matching Contributions for any Plan Year, the Committee shall (1) determine the amount by which the Actual Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in Section 5.02(b); (2) convert the excess percentage amount determined under clause (1) into a dollar amount; and (3) reduce the excess contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the greatest dollar amount of Matching Contributions by the lesser of (A) the amount by which the dollar amount of the affected Highly Compensated Employee’s Matching Contributions exceeds the dollar amount of the Matching
 
25

Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions or (B) the amount of the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). This process shall be repeated until the Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees has been reduced by an amount equal to the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2). The Matching Contributions of any Highly Compensated Employee that must be reduced pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be reduced by distributing Matching Contributions (or forfeiting such Matching Contributions if the Participant is not vested in such amounts), within 12 months of the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the reduction applies. Amounts forfeited under this subsection (b) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to restore a reemployed Participant’s Account as provided under Section 7.04 and to restore the Account of a Participant who was unlocatable as provided under Section 15.12, (ii) next, to reduce future Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.05, (iii) next, to reduce future Company Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.04, (iv) next, to satisfy the top-heavy minimum allocation provisions under Section 10.03, (v) next, to provide Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions under Section 4.07, and (vi) to reduce the reasonable expenses of the administration of the Plan.
(c) Any distribution, recharacterization or forfeiture of Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions necessary pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) shall include a distribution or forfeiture of the income, if any, allocable to such contributions. Such income shall be equal to the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year (determined by multiplying the income allocable to the Participant’s Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions, as applicable, for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant’s excess Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions or Matching Contributions, as applicable, for the Plan Year and the denominator is the sum of the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account, Roth 401(k) Account or Matching Contribution Account, as applicable, as of the beginning of the Plan Year plus any contributions made to the applicable Account during the Plan Year).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, for any Highly Compensated Employee who is an active Participant in the Plan while eligible to participate in any other qualified retirement plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company (excluding any such plan which is not permitted to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(b)(4)) under which the Employee has made employee contributions or elective deferrals, or is credited with employer matching contributions for the year, the Committee shall coordinate corrective actions under this Plan and such other plan for the year.
(e) In lieu of or in addition to the actions described in subsections (a) through (d) of this Section, to satisfy the tests in Section 5.02, the Employer may make Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions as described in Section 4.07.
5.04 Annual Additions Limitations . In no event shall the Annual Addition on behalf of any Participant for any Plan Year exceed the lesser of:
(1) $40,000, adjusted in accordance with Code section 415(d), or
(2) 100% of such Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year.
 
26

The limitation referred to in subsection (2) above shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits within the meaning of Code section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under Code section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2).
If the amount otherwise allocable to the Account of a Participant would exceed the amount described above as a result of the reallocation of forfeitures (if any available), a reasonable error in estimating the Participant’s Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Code section 402(g)) that may be made under the limitations of Code section 415, or such other circumstances as permitted by law, the Committee shall take the following steps to correct such violation:
(a) First, the Committee shall reduce the Annual Addition under this Plan by determining the portion, if any, of such excess amount that is attributable to the Participant’s Salary Deferrals, Roth 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions, if any, until such excess amount has been exhausted. To the extent any portion of a Participant’s Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions are determined to be excess under this Section, such Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions, with income thereon, shall be returned to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable; provided, however, that excess Salary Deferrals and Roth 401(k) Contributions under this Section may be recharacterized as made under Section 4.01(b) to the extent permitted under Code section 414(v) and regulations issued thereunder. To the extent any portion of the Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions allocable to a Participant are determined to be excess under this Section, while the Participant remains an Eligible Employee, his excess Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions shall be held in a suspense account (which shall share in investment gains and losses of the Fund) by the Trustee until the following Plan Year (or any succeeding Plan Years), at which time such amounts shall be allocated to the Participant’s Account before any Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions are made on his behalf for the Plan Year. When the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, his excess Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions held in the suspense account shall be allocated in the following Plan Year (or any succeeding Plan Years) to the Accounts of other Participants in the Plan. Furthermore, the Committee shall perform any other actions as may be necessary to preserve the Plan’s status as a qualified plan.
(b) Second, the Annual Addition shall be reduced under such other plans as may be maintained by the Employer in accordance with the provisions set forth therein.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any distribution of amounts otherwise allocable to the Account of a Participant as described above shall be made in accordance with the rules and procedures set forth in Rev. Proc. 2008-50 (or, effective April 1, 2013, Rev. Proc. 2013-12) and any successor thereto.

6.01 Investment of Assets . All existing assets of the Trust Fund and all future contributions shall be invested by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 6.02.
6.02 Investment in Investment Funds .
(a) General . Except as provided in subsection (b) and (c) hereof, the Investment Committee shall designate the available Investment Funds to which a Participant shall direct the investment of amounts credited to his Account. The Investment Committee, in its sole discretion, may from time to time designate additional Investment Funds of the same or different types or modify, cease to offer or eliminate any existing Investment Funds. A portion of the Trust Fund, as determined by the Investment Committee, may be held in the form of uninvested cash or in a liquid asset account for temporary periods pending reinvestment, distribution, or for other liquidity purposes.
(b) Company Common Stock Fund Status as Employee Stock Ownership Plan . The Company Common Stock Fund constitutes an “employee stock ownership plan” for purposes of Code section 4975(e)(7). Consistent with the requirements of Code section 4975(e)(7) and applicable law, it is the Company’s intent that the Company Common Stock Fund shall be a permanent investment option with respect to the Plan that invests primarily in the Company’s Common Stock without regard to considerations relating to: (1) diversification of assets, (2) the risk of investments in Company Common Stock, (3) the amount of income provided by Company Common Stock, and (iv) the fluctuation in the fair market value of Company Common Stock. As such, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, the Investment Committee shall not have the authority to remove the Company Common Stock Fund from the Plan.
(c) Default Investment Funds . The Company designates the age appropriate Target Date Retirement Fund (the “ Target Fund ”) as the Investment Fund that shall be the “default” investment fund for purposes of Participants (by reason of the automatic enrollment provisions of Section 4.01 or otherwise) who do not make an affirmative election in accordance with Section 6.03 to invest all or a portion of their Account among the Plan’s available Investment Funds. The Target Fund is an Investment Fund that provides a mixture of fixed income and equity investments that are matched to an individual’s age and assumed retirement age of 65. The Target Fund is the Investment Fund that the Company has designated as the Plan’s “qualified default investment alternative” for purposes of section 404(c)(5) of ERISA.
6.03 Investment Elections . Each Participant, upon commencing or recommencing active participation under Section 4.01, shall direct, in the form and at the time prescribed by the Committee, the investment of contributions made on his behalf in any one or more of the available Investment Funds in accordance with such uniform and non-discriminatory procedures and limitations as the Committee may prescribe. Without limiting a Participant’s rights pursuant
 
28

to reallocate his Company Retirement Contribution Account pursuant to Section 6.05, the Committee may prescribe the Investment Funds that are available for the investment of the Company Retirement Contributions at the time they are contributed to the Plan and allocated to the Company Retirement Contribution Accounts of the Company Retirement Contribution Eligible Participants.
6.04 Change of Election . Each Participant may change his investment direction with respect to the investment of his future contributions at the time or times prescribed by the Committee, by making a new election in such form, at such time in advance, and in accordance with other uniform and non-discriminatory procedures and subject to such restrictions as the Committee or its delegate may prescribe.
6.05 Transfers Between Investment Funds . Subject to such limits as imposed by the Investment Committee, a Participant may reallocate his entire Account among and between the available Investment Funds (subject to such specific rules and limits applicable to the Company Common Stock Fund as described in Section 6.09) at any time. Each Participant may elect to make such transfers at the time or times prescribed by the Committee, by making a transfer election in such form, at such time in advance, and in accordance with other uniform and non-discriminatory procedures and subject to such restrictions as the Committee or its delegate may prescribe or as may otherwise be imposed by the Investment Fund(s) involved in the transfer.
6.06 Individual Accounts . There shall be maintained on the books of the Plan with respect to each Participant, an Account with such separate sub-accounts as are necessary to account for the types and amounts contributions made to and by the Participant under the Plan. Each such Account and sub-account shall separately reflect the Participant’s interest in each Investment Fund relating to such Account and sub-account. Each Participant shall receive, at periodic intervals, a statement of his Account showing the balances in each Investment Fund. A Participant’s interest in any Investment Fund shall be determined and accounted for based on his beneficial interest in any such fund, and no Participant shall have any interest in or rights to any specific asset of any Investment Fund.
6.07 Valuation . As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall adjust the net credit balance of each Participant’s Account, in the respective investment fund of the Trust Fund, upward or downward, pro rata, so that the aggregate of such unit credit balances will equal the net worth of each Investment Fund of the Trust Fund as of that Valuation Date, using fair market values as determined by the Trustee.
6.08 Voting and Tender of Mutual Fund Shares . To the extent that shares of one or more of the regulated investment companies offered by the Investment Funds are allocated to Participants’ Accounts, the Trustee shall vote or tender such shares solely in accordance with written instructions furnished to it by each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant); provided, that the Trustee shall be responsible for delivery to each Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) of all notices, proxies and proxy soliciting materials related to any such shares. Any such instructions shall remain in the strict confidence of the Trustee. Shares, including fractional shares, for which voting or tender instructions are not received shall not be voted or tendered.

No Participant may direct the investment of any of his then-existing Account balances into the Company Common Stock Fund.

If the Trustee determines that such quotations or trading prices do not accurately reflect the market value, the fair market value of the Company Common Stock as of the Valuation Date shall be determined by an independent appraiser meeting requirements similar to the requirements of the Department of Labor Regulations promulgated under section 3(18) of ERISA
(d) Special Rule Regarding Appraisal of Company Common Stock . If at any time the Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund is not readily tradable on an established securities market, all valuations of such Company Common Stock with respect to activities carried on by the Plan shall be made by an independent appraiser meeting the requirements of Code section 401(a)(28).
(e) Dividends on Company Common Stock Fund . A Participant may make an election, in accordance with the uniform and non-discriminatory procedures prescribed by the Committee that provide such opportunity no less frequently than annually, that all cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund and allocated to such Participant’s Company Common Stock Account on the record date for the dividend shall either be reinvested in the Company Common Stock Fund or distributed to the Participant. A Participant who does not make an affirmative election to receive dividends in cash will be deemed to have chosen to have those dividends reinvested into the Company Common Stock Fund. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant shall have a fully (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in any cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund.
 
30

(f) Voting of Company Common Stock . All whole and fractional shares of Company Common Stock allocated to a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Company Common Stock Account shall be voted by the Trustee as the Participant or Beneficiary directs in writing from time to time.

Upon timely receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote those shares in accordance with the directions received. Unless otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, shares for which timely receipt of directions is not received shall not be voted by the Trustee.
(g) Tender of Company Common Stock . The Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the manner in which to respond to any offer to purchase, exchange or otherwise dispose of Company Common Stock made by any person or entity other than a Participant or Beneficiary. If the Company Common Stock is sold, exchanged or disposed of, the proceeds shall be reinvested in the Company Common Stock Fund.
(h) Distribution of Company Common Stock . When a Participant is entitled to a distribution of his Account under the Plan, the Participant may elect to receive either cash or Company Common Stock that is allocated to his Company Common Stock Account. If cash is to be received from the Company Common Stock Account, then, the Trustee will use reasonable efforts to sell such Company Common Stock and the proceeds from such sale (less all reasonable expenses incurred in such sale) will be distributed to the Participant. If the Participant elects to receive shares of Company Common Stock, then the shares of Company Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares (less all reasonable expenses incurred in such sale) will be distributed to the Participant.
(i) Put Option . If the Company Common Stock held in the Company Common Stock Fund is not readily tradable on an established securities market (within the meaning of Code section 409(h)(1)(B)), any Participant who is entitled to a distribution of such Company Common Stock shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase such Company Common Stock in accordance with Code section 409(h) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

If the Committee determines that a requested withdrawal is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, and the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such financial need, the Committee shall permit the Participant to withdraw all or a portion of his Salary Deferral Account and Roth 401(k) Account; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of a Participant’s withdrawals from each of his Salary Deferral Account and Roth 401(k) Account shall not exceed the Participant’s undistributed Salary Deferrals or Roth 401(k) Contributions, respectively. For Participants with both a Salary Deferral Account and a Roth 401(k) Account, withdrawals shall be taken from such accounts on a pro-rata basis.
(1) A distribution shall be deemed to be on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant when the distribution is on account of:

(B) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

If the Beneficiary fails to designate a beneficiary or if none of his designated beneficiaries survive him, the death benefit shall be payable to the Beneficiary’s estate.
(c) Form and Content of Spouse’s Consent . A Spouse may consent to the designation of one or more Beneficiaries other than such Spouse; provided, that such consent shall be in writing, must consent to the specific alternate beneficiary or beneficiaries designated, must acknowledge the effect of such consent, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public.

(a) General . Except as otherwise provided in this Section, an Alternate Payee shall have no rights to a Participant’s benefit and shall have no rights under this Plan other than those rights specifically granted to the Alternate Payee pursuant to a QDRO.

Any interest of an Alternate Payee in the Account of a Participant, other than an interest payable solely upon the Participant’s death pursuant to a QDRO which provides that the Alternate Payee shall be treated as the Participant’s surviving spouse, shall be separately accounted for by the Trustee in the name and for the benefit of the Alternate Payee.
(1) Distribution . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a QDRO may provide that any benefits of a Participant payable to an Alternate Payee that are separately accounted for shall be distributed immediately or at any other time specified in the order. If the order does not specify the time at which benefits shall be payable to the Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee may elect to have benefits commence at any time after the order is determined to be qualified.
(b) Withdrawals . Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall not be permitted to make any withdrawals under ARTICLE VIII.
(c) Death Benefits . Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary, in the same manner as provided in Section 8.05 with respect to a Participant (except that no Spousal consent shall be required), who
 
40

shall receive benefits payable to an Alternate Payee which have not been distributed at the time of an Alternate Payee’s death. Upon an Alternate Payee’s death, a separate account shall be established for any such Beneficiary. If the Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established does not designate a Beneficiary, or if the Beneficiary predeceases the Alternate Payee, benefits payable to the Alternate Payee that have not been distributed shall be paid to the Alternate Payee’s estate.
(d) Investment Direction . Unless a QDRO establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary, an Alternate Payee for whom a separate account is established shall have the right to direct the investment of any portion of a Participant’s Accounts payable to the Alternate Payee under such order in the same manner as provided in ARTICLE VI with respect to a Participant, which amounts shall be separately accounted for by the Trustee in the Alternate Payee’s name.
(e) Loans . An Alternate Payee shall not be permitted to receive a loan under ARTICLE IX.
8.07 Post Distribution Credits . In the event that, after the payment of a single-sum distribution under this Plan (other than an in-service benefit distribution described in Section 8.04), any funds shall be subsequently credited to the Participant’s Account, such additional funds shall be paid to the Participant or applied for the Participant’s Account as promptly as practicable thereafter.
8.08 Direct Rollovers . In the event any payment or payments to be made under the Plan to a Participant, a Beneficiary, or an Alternate Payee would constitute an “eligible rollover distribution,” such individual may request that such payment or payments be transferred directly from the Trust to the trustee of an “eligible rollover plan.” Any such request shall be made in the form prescribed by the Committee for such purpose, at such time in advance as the Committee may specify.
For purposes of this Section,
(a) “ eligible rollover distribution ” shall mean a distribution from the Plan, excluding (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over the life (or life expectancy) of the individual, the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the individual and the individual’s designated Beneficiary, or a specified period of 10 or more years, (2) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9), and (3) any hardship distribution; and
(b) “ eligible rollover plan ” shall mean (1) an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), (2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), (3) an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a), (4) a qualified plan, the terms of which permit the acceptance of rollover distributions, (5) an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code section 457(b) that is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code section 457(e)(i)(A) that shall separately account for the distribution, or (6) an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b); provided, however, that, effective January 1, 2007, with respect to a distribution (or portion of a distribution)
 
41

consisting of after-tax employee contributions, the term “eligible rollover plan” shall mean a plan described in clauses (4) and (6) that separately accounts for such amounts transferred and earnings on such amounts or a plan described in clause (1) or (2). Effective January 1, 2008, an “eligible rollover plan” shall also mean an individual retirement account described in Code section 408A; provided, that the distribution to the individual retirement account described in Code section 408A constitutes a “qualified rollover contribution” under Code section 408A(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payments or distributions from a Participant’s Roth 401(k) Account, an eligible rollover plan with respect to such portion shall include only another designated Roth 401(k) account described in Code section 402A or a Roth individual retirement account described in Code section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). Effective January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution to a non-spouse Beneficiary who is a designated Beneficiary within the meaning of Code section 401(a)(9)(E), an “eligible rollover plan” is an individual retirement account established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary that will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account pursuant to the provisions of Code section 402(c)(11).
8.09 Waiver of 2009 Required Distributions . Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for enactment of Code section 401(a)(9)(H) (“ 2009 RMDs ”), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2009 RMDs, or (ii) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years, will not receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to receive the distributions described in the preceding sentence. A direct rollover will be offered only for distributions that would be eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 8.08) without regard to Code section 401(a)(9)(H).

(3) the Eligible Borrower fails to pay any installment by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the installment pay became delinquent as provided in Section 9.02(g)(2); or
(4) the Eligible Borrower (A) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (B) files a petition for bankruptcy, (C) is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or (D) becomes the subject of any wage earner plan under the federal Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect, or under any applicable state insolvency law; or
(5) there is started against the Eligible Borrower any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding which has not been dismissed by the 60th day after the date on which the proceeding was started, or the Eligible Borrower consents to or approves of any such proceeding or the appointment of any receiver for the Eligible Borrower or any substantial part of the Eligible Borrower’s property, or the appointment of any such receiver is not discharged within 60 days;
the unpaid balance of the loan, with interest due thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. In the event that a loan becomes immediately due and payable (in “ default ”), the Eligible Borrower (or his Beneficiary in the event of his death) may satisfy the loan by paying the outstanding balance in full within 60 days of receiving written notice from the Committee of such default; provided, however, that any such satisfaction of a loan in default must be made no later than the last day of the grace period, if any, designated by the Committee (which grace period shall not extend beyond the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the required installment was due). Otherwise, any such outstanding loan or loans (plus unpaid interest) shall be deducted from any benefit which is or becomes payable to the Eligible Borrower or his Beneficiary from the amount and the portions of his Account pledged as security for the loan as soon as is practicable after such default; provided, however, that if the Eligible Borrower has not died or incurred a Severance from Service, the Eligible Borrower’s Salary Deferral Account and Roth 401(k) Contributions Account shall only be used to reduce the Eligible Borrower’s indebtedness at such time as the Eligible Borrower is entitled to a distribution under Section 8.02 or a withdrawal under Section 8.04 from his Salary Deferral Account and Roth 401(k) Contributions Account. Such action shall not operate as a waiver of the rights of the Employer, the Committee, the Trustee or the Plan under applicable law.
 
45

(g) Repayment .
(1) Loans shall be amortized and repaid in equal installments (not less frequently than quarterly) through payroll withholding; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize an Eligible Borrower who has incurred a Severance from Service or a disability or transferred to an Affiliated Company, or who is otherwise not actively employed by an Employer, to repay his loan by making direct installment payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Eligible Borrower’s unpaid leave of absence, the Committee may suspend the Eligible Borrower’s installment payment for up to 12 months; provided, however, (i) the loan must still be repaid by the end of the term of the loan, which may be extended by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as provided herein, and (ii) the remaining balance of the loan must be reamortized upon the Eligible Borrower’s recommencing active employment. In the event that repayment of a loan is suspended as provided in this subsection (g), the term of such loan may be extended provided that such extension shall in no event be longer than the maximum period allowable for such loan at the time it was made as provided in subsection (c) above.
(2) An installment payment shall be delinquent if the Eligible Borrower fails to pay the installment payment within 30 days of the date the installment payment is due.
(3) Loans may be prepaid in full at any time without penalty. Partial prepayment is not permitted.

(1) At such time as it is determined that an Eligible Borrower is to receive a loan from the Plan, the loan shall be made from the Eligible Borrower’s applicable Account in the order and precedence indicated hereafter and such amount shall be deemed to be credited to a separate Account established for such purposes (the “ Loan Account ”), with a corresponding debit to occur to his Account as of the first day of the month in which such loan occurs: (i) first, an Account holding Roth Rollover Contributions, if applicable; (ii) second, an Account holding Rollover Contributions that are not Roth Rollover Contributions, if applicable, (iii) third, an Account holding after-tax contributions, if applicable, (iv) fourth, an Account holding Roth 401(k) Contributions, if applicable; and (iv) third, an Account holding Salary Deferrals, if applicable. Loans shall not be permitted from any amounts attributable to Matching Contributions, Company Retirement Contributions or other Employer contributions. All loans shall be funded from the Investment Funds in which the Eligible Borrower’s Account that is being debited is invested on a pro-rata basis.
 
46

(2) All interest payments to be made pursuant to the terms and provisions of the loan shall be credited to the applicable Account in such a manner so that the Loan Account will reflect unpaid principal and interest from time to time. The earnings attributable to the Loan Account shall be allocable only to the Loan Account of such Eligible Borrower and shall not considered as general earnings of the Trust Fund to be allocated to other Eligible Borrowers. Other than for the limited purposes of establishing a separate account for the allocation of the interest thereto, a Eligible Borrower’s Loan Account shall, for all other purposes, be considered as a part of the applicable Account.
(3) Loan repayments to the Plan by the Eligible Borrower shall be invested in the Investment Funds on the basis of the Eligible Borrower’s current investment election under Section 6.03, or the Eligible Borrower’s most recent investment election, if no investment election is currently in effect, unless the Eligible Borrower elects otherwise in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee.

Each Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee believing himself or herself eligible for benefits under the Plan shall apply for such benefits by applying to the Committee (or a person named by the Committee to receive claims under the Plan) in the form and manner specified by the Committee. Before the date on which benefit payments commence, each such application must be supported by such information and data as the Committee deems relevant and appropriate. Evidence of age, marital status (and, in the appropriate instances, death), and location of residence shall be required of all applicants for benefits. In the event a Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee fails to apply to the Committee prior to the applicable required distribution date described in Sections 8.01(c) or 8.02(b)(3), the Committee shall make diligent efforts to locate such Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee and obtain such application.

However, if the Committee fails to locate the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee so that distribution as of the applicable date described in Section 8.01(c) or 8.02(b)(3) is not possible, the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee shall be considered a lost payee as described in Section 16.13; provided, however, that, in the event that the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee is located, payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee is located.

For purposes of this Section, the person or persons designated to determine initial claims shall be referred to as the “Claims Fiduciary” and the person or persons designated to determine appeals shall be referred to as the “Named Appeals Fiduciary,” and any references to the Claims Fiduciary or Named Appeals Fiduciary in this Section 13.02 shall mean the Committee (and references to the Committee shall also mean the Claims Fiduciary or Named Appeals Fiduciary) as the context so provides. The Claims Fiduciary will review such request and respond within a reasonable time after receiving the claim. The notice advising of the denial shall be furnished to the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee within 90 days of receipt of the benefit claim by the Committee, unless special circumstances require an extension of time to process the claim.

Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.
(2) The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the claimant’s written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial determination.

Any determination rendered by the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be final and binding upon all parties.
(4) If the Claimant challenges the decision of the Named Appeals Fiduciary, a review by a court shall be permitted only in accordance with subsection (d) below, Failure to comply with the time limits set forth above will bar the claimant from filing suit in court.

(c) Authority to Determine Claims . The Committee has exclusive authority to decide all claims under the Plan. The Committee has exclusive authority to review and resolve any appeal of a denied claim. The Committee is a Plan fiduciary with full discretionary authority to do the following: to make findings of fact; to interpret the Plan and resolve ambiguities therein; to determine whether a claimant is eligible for benefits; to decide the amount, form and timing of benefits; and to resolve any other matter which is raised by a claimant or identified by the Committee. In the case of an appeal, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all parties.
(d) Exhaustion of Claims Procedures . A claim or action (1) to recover benefits allegedly due under the provisions of the Plan or by reason of any law, (2) to enforce rights under the Plan, (3) to clarify rights to future benefits under the Plan, or (4) any other claim or action that relates to the Plan and seeks a remedy, ruling, or judgment of any kind against the Plan or a Plan fiduciary or party in interest may not be filed in any court until the claimant has exhausted the Plan’s claim and appeal process for any and all reasons the claimant believes his claim should be approved. In addition, any such claim or action must be filed no later than 36 months after, as appropriate, the date the first benefit payment was made or due, the date the Committee or its delegate first denied the claimant’s request, or the earliest date the claimant knew or should have known the material facts on which such claim or action is based. Any claim or action filed after the end of this 36-month period shall be time-barred.
(e) Reliance on Records . The records of the Employer and any Affiliated Company with respect to length of employment, employment history, compensation, absences from employment and all other relevant matters may be conclusively relied on by the Committee for purposes of determining an individual’s eligibility or entitlement to Plan benefits, the amount of Plan benefits payable to an individual, the appropriate timing of payment of Plan benefits to an individual, and so forth. If an individual claiming benefits under the Plan believes those records are incorrect, the individual may provide documentation supporting his or her position to the Committee for review and consideration. However, the decision of the Committee with respect to any records dispute shall be final and binding on all parties.

(b) No amendment shall deprive any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of any of the benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan with respect to contributions previously made, nor shall any amendment decrease the vested percentage of any Participant’s Account nor result in the elimination or reduction of a benefit “protected” under Code section 411(d)(6), unless otherwise permitted or required by law;

Except as provided in Section 15.01(b), no Participant, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as hereinabove provided.

16.02 No Contract of Employment . Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Participants and other Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.
16.03 Severability of Provisions . If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
16.04 Heirs, Assigns and Personal Representatives .

If a Plan fiduciary (as determined under ERISA) or an individual or entity with authority delegated by a Plan fiduciary, acts or fails to act with respect to a Participant or a Participant’s Account under the Plan and the Participant has direct or indirect knowledge of such act or failure to act, the Participant’s failure to notify the Plan fiduciary (or the Plan fiduciary’s delegate) within a reasonable period of time that such act or failure to act was incorrect or inconsistent with the Participant’s intent or election shall be deemed to be an acceptance and ratification of the Plan fiduciary’s (or the Plan fiduciary’s delegate) act or failure to act.
 
67

16.13 Lost Payees . A benefit shall be deemed forfeited, and first used to pay Plan expenses, then used to reduce future Matching Contributions or future Discretionary Contributions by the Employer that last employed the Participant, if the Committee is unable to locate a Participant, a Beneficiary or an Alternate Payee to whom payment is due; provided, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated, without any earnings from the date deemed forfeited to the date reinstated, if a claim is made by the party to whom properly payable.
16.14 No Warranties .

The Participant assumes all risk in connection with any change in values.
16.15 Multiple Employer Plan Provisions . Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, unless the Plan is a collectively bargained multiemployer plan described in Treas. Reg. § 1.413-1(a), the following provisions will apply with respect to any Participating Employer:
(a) Employees of a Participating Employer will be treated separately for purposes of testing under the provisions of Code sections 401(a)(4), 401(a)(26), 401(k), 401(m), and, if the Company and the Participating Employer do not share Employees, Code section 416. Furthermore, the terms of Code section 410(b) will be applied separately on an employer-by-employer basis by the Company (and Employers that are Affiliated Companies of the Company) and each Participating Employer, taking into account the generally applicable rules described in Code section 401(a)(5), 414(b) and 414(c).
(b) Employees of the Participating Employer will be treated as part of a single employer plan for purposes of eligibility to participate under ARTICLE III and under the provisions of Code section 410(a). Furthermore, the terms of Code section 411 relating to vesting under the Plan as described in ARTICLE VII will be applied as if all Employees of all Employers were employed by a single employer, except that the rules regarding Periods of Severance will be applied under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Labor.
(c) Contributions made by any such Participating Employer will be held in a common Trust Fund with contributions made by other Employers, and all such contributions will be available to pay the benefits of any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee.
(d) The failure of either the Company or any such Participating Employer to satisfy the qualification requirements under the provisions of Code section 401(a), as modified by the provisions of Code section 413(c), will result in the disqualification of the Plan for all such Employers maintaining the Plan.
(e) A Participating Employer may terminate participation in the Plan by delivering written notice to the Company, the Committee and the Trustee; but in accordance with Section 14.03, only the Company can terminate the Plan. Such Participating Employer may thereupon request a transfer of Trust Fund assets attributable to its Employees from this Plan to any successor qualified retirement plan maintained by the Participating Employer or its successor. The Committee may, however, refuse to make such transfer if it determines, in its
 
68

sole discretion, that such transfer would operate to the detriment of any Participant, jeopardize the continued qualification of the Plan, or does not comply with any requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. If a request for, and approval of, a transfer of assets from this Plan to any successor qualified retirement plan maintained by the Participating Employer or its successor is not made or approved, Participants who are no longer Employees because the Participating Employer terminates its Plan participation will be entitled to the commencement of their benefits within a reasonable time thereafter as if the Plan had been terminated under Section 14.03.
16.16 Notices . Each Participant, Beneficiary and Alternate Payee shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices, reports and benefit payments. Any notice required or permitted to be given shall be deemed given if directed to the person to whom addressed at such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first-class and prepaid. If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification if the regulations issued under ERISA deem sufficient notice to be given by the posting of notice in appropriate places, or by any other publication device.
