Agreement (“Participation Agreement”) provided by the Treasurer, and must:
3.1.1 Defer the payment of a designated amount, but not less than $1,000, of the Trustee’s annual Compensation or such portion thereof as designated by the Trustee;
3.1.2 Designate one or more Credit Rate Options under the Designation of Credit Rate Options Form attached to the
Participation Agreement; and
3.1.3 Designate one of the payment options under Section
5.1.
3.2 Elections to Defer Compensation.
3.2.1 In General. Except as provided in Section 3.2.2 or Section 3.2.3, an Election
shall be made by a Trustee before, and shall take effect from, the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the Election is made.
3.2.2 Year of Adoption. In the year in which the Plan is adopted, an Election shall be made by a Trustee before, and shall take effect from, the
beginning of the calendar quarter next following the adoption of the Plan.
3.2.3 Newly-Elected Trustee. An individual who is first elected a Trustee in any calendar year may make an Election with respect to Compensation for services not yet performed as a
Trustee for the balance of such calendar year before such services are performed, which Election shall take effect from the later of the date designated in the Election or the date the Election is received by the Administrator.
3.3 Termination of Election. A Trustee’s Election shall continue in
effect until terminated by the Trustee in writing. A termination of an Election shall take effect on the first day of the calendar year following the receipt of the notice of termination by the Treasurer. A Trustee may make an Election for any
subsequent year in accordance with Section 3.2.1.
Section 4. Accounts.
4.1 Establishment of Accounts. The Treasurer shall credit
the amount of Compensation deferred by a Trustee to the Trustee’s Account at the time it would, but for the Trustee’s election, have been payable to the Trustee. The Accounts shall be credited or charged during the deferral period with
income, gains,
and losses based on the performance of Credit Rate Option(s) designated by the Trustee (“Credit Rate”), in accordance with Section
4.2. The Treasurer shall render an annual statement showing the amount of deferred Compensation and any income, gains, and losses credited thereto, in accordance with Section 4.2.2.
4.2 Credit Rate Options.
4.2.1 Designation of Credit Rate Options. The Designation of Credit Rate Options shall be made by a Trustee when he or she files an Election to defer Compensation, in

corresponding series of the Fund.
4.2.3 Availability of Credit Rate
Options. Each Credit Rate Option available under the Plan is listed on the Designation of Credit Rate Options Form attached to the Participation Agreement. The Designation of Credit Rate Options Form may be
amended by the Treasurer from time to time to reflect the addition or elimination of available Credit Rate Options. The Treasurer will notify
Trustees who have deferred Compensation allocated to a Credit Rate Option that becomes unavailable during the deferral period. Upon receipt of such notice, Trustees shall complete a new Designation of Credit Rate Options Form designating a new
Credit Rate Option with respect to amounts allocated to the unavailable Credit Rate Option. The new Designation of Credit Rate Options executed pursuant to this Section will take effect on the next business day following receipt of the new
Designation of Credit Rate Options Form by the Treasurer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2.1.
4.3 No Secured Interest. The obligations of the Fund under the Plan shall constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Funds to satisfy such obligations. The designation of
an Account in the name of any Trustee shall be for bookkeeping purposes only and shall not create an obligation for the Funds on behalf of the Trustee to fund any obligations under the Plan. Any assets which the Funds may set aside to meet its
liabilities under the Plan shall remain general assets of the Funds subject to the claims of its creditors.
4.4 Trustee’s Acknowledgment. A Trustee, by executing an Election, acknowledges that neither the Trustee nor his Beneficiary has any special or beneficial interest in any
asset of the Funds.

to the Trustee’s Beneficiary. Such payment shall be made by the Funds within a reasonable time following the Trustee’s death.
Section 6. Amendment, Suspension and Termination. The Board of Trustees shall have the right at any time, at its sole discretion, to amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan, provided that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the right of a Trustee to receive the amount already credited to his or her Account.

shall be subject to any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, collateralization or attachment.
