Introduction

Section 1.01 Introduction. Effective as of March 31, 2011, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) established the Huntington Ingalls Industries Savings Plan (the “Plan”), a profit-sharing plan and stock bonus plan that includes an employee stock ownership plan and provides for pre-tax and after-tax Participant contributions and Company matching and profit-sharing contributions. The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) and to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is to be interpreted and administered accordingly. The Plan also is intended to be an “ERISA section 404(c) plan” as described in ERISA Section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder. Plan language concerning the requirements for tax-qualified plans under the Code or ERISA — or the regulations or rulings under the Code or ERISA — is to be interpreted only to implement the statute, regulation, or ruling, unless Plan language explicitly and clearly provides additional rights or benefits. The Plan is established and maintained by Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. under EIN 90-0607005.

The Plan was last amended and restated effective as of December 1, 2015. Effective July 1, 2021, the Plan is hereby amended and restated to incorporate those Amendments 1 through 10 that were adopted since the Plan was last restated, to reflect certain changes made to Retirement Account Contributions eligibility and matching contribution formulas effective July 1, 2021, to reflect certain changes made pursuant to the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act of 2020, and to reflect and/or clarify certain other administrative practices. No Plan changes were made in connection with the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020.

Certain employees, former employees, and retirees identified as of the Spin-Off (“HII Participants”) had their account balances under the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan transferred to this Plan. The assets and liabilities attributable to these HII Participants are transferred to this Plan in accordance with Code Section 414(l) and ERISA Section 208.

(B) any distribution to the extent the distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or

The term “eligible rollover distribution” includes after-tax money, but only to the extent that money is transferred to the Plan in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. The term “eligible rollover distribution” also includes a distribution of a Roth amount only if it is a direct rollover from another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted in accordance with Code Section 402(c).

(2) An “eligible retirement plan” is:

(A) an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), including a Roth individual retirement account described in Code Section 408A;

(B) an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract);

(c) The option to make rollover contributions under (a) is available only in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

(d) The Committee may condition acceptance of a rollover contribution under (a) upon its reasonable conclusion that the distributing plan is qualified. The Committee may, for example, require written confirmation as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(31) 1, Q&A-13(b) or any successor guidance. The Committee may establish rules concerning the acceptance of rollover contributions. These rules may be changed at any time without advance notice to Eligible Employees or Participants.

(e) If an Eligible Employee makes a rollover contribution that the Committee later determines does not qualify as an eligible rollover contribution, the Committee will distribute to the Employee as soon as practicable the improper amount standing to the Employee’s credit in the rollover contribution subaccount, valued as of the time of the distribution.

(f) Rollovers may be withdrawn as provided under Article 11. In addition, any rollover amounts invested in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund are subject to the distribution rules of the ESOP.

(g) Rollovers may be invested under the rules of Article 9 in the same manner as the rest of the Participant’s Account.

Section 5.13 Catch-Up Contributions. In accordance with, and subject to the limitations of Code Section 414(v) and the regulations issued under that section:

Such Catch-Up Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of Plan Section 5.05 (Matching Contributions), but shall not be taken into account for purposes of Sections 6.02 (deferral limitation) and 6.04 (Code Section 415 limitation). The Plan will not be treated as failing to satisfy Code Section 401(a)(4), 401(k)(3), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, because a Participant makes Catch-Up Contributions.

Limitations on Contributions

Section 6.01 In General. This Article describes the federal tax law limitations on contributions to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Participants and other limitations that apply to all Participants.

Section 6.02 Dollar Limit on Participant Contributions.

(a) Except to the extent permitted under Section 5.13 and Code Section 414(v), a Participant’s Tax-Deferred Contributions and Roth Contributions (along with similar contributions under any plan maintained by the Affiliated Companies) may not exceed $19,500 (the 2021 IRS limit, as adjusted) in any Plan Year:

(b) For Plan Years after 2011, the limit will be adjusted in accordance with guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury.

(1) If a Participant elects a percentage of Compensation to be contributed as Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions that exceeds the limit under this Section, any excess will be contributed as After-Tax Contributions. Similarly, if a Participant makes Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions to the Plan and another plan maintained by an Affiliated Company, any excess will be contributed as After Tax Contributions. Either of such elections shall revert to Tax Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions at the beginning of the next Plan Year, provided such a Participant makes no affirmative change to his or her election after the recharacterization as After Tax Contributions.

(2) If a Participant makes Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions to the Plan and another plan maintained by an employer that is not an Affiliated Company (or any combination of plans under (1) above and this paragraph) and those Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions collectively exceed the limit of this Section, the Participant may elect, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, to either have such excess contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions or receive a distribution of a part or all of the excess amounts.

(d) The Participant’s election to receive a distribution of an excess amount must include the Participant’s certification that the specified amount is an excess Tax-Deferred Contribution and/or Roth Contribution.

(e) The Participant’s election must be made not later than the first March 1st following the close of the Plan Year in which the excess deferral occurred, and the excess amount specified by the Participant will be recharacterized or distributed not later than the first April 15th following the close of the Plan Year in which the excess deferral occurred.

Any excess amount distributed shall include income allocable to such amount through the end of the Plan Year to which such excess amount is attributable.

(f) If the Participant fails to make an election, the excess will be contributed as After-Tax Contributions.

(g) Participants who are Employees of a TSD Entity must affirmatively elect to make After-Tax Contributions to the Plan. Any excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions made by these Employees will not be automatically re-characterized as After-Tax Contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, the excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions of any TSD Entity Employee will be distributed unless such TSD Entity Employee affirmatively elects, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, to have such excess contributions re-characterized as After-Tax Contributions.

Section 6.03 Limits on Highly Compensated Participants. All Participant and Company contributions for Highly Compensated Participants are subject to the special limitations imposed by Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m). These rules are designed so that the amount of contributions for Highly Compensated Participants is limited based on the amount of contributions made for non-Highly Compensated Participants. See Appendix C for details.

Section 6.04 Section 415 Limitations. Except to the extent permitted under Section 5.13 and Code Section 414(v) (related to Catch-Up Contributions), the maximum amount of contributions to any Participant’s Account in any Plan Year may not exceed the lesser of $58,000 (the 2021 IRS limit, as indexed in accordance with published IRS guidance) or 100% of the Participant’s Compensation for the year. In certain cases, benefits under other plans may apply toward these limits. See Appendix A for details.

To the extent not used in the Plan Year to restore Participants’ Accounts pursuant to Section 7.05 or to pay expenses in accordance with Section 16.11, the Committee shall apply Forfeitures to reduce Company contributions due for the Plan Year in which they arise. Any Forfeitures in excess of the amounts applied to reduce

Company contributions and to restore Participants’ Accounts in such Plan Year shall be carried forward to restore Participants’ Accounts, to reduce Company contributions, and to pay Plan expenses in accordance with Section 16.11 due for succeeding Plan Years. In the event that Forfeitures arise in the year the Plan terminates, such Forfeitures shall be used to restore Participants’ Accounts and the excess, if any, shall be used to reduce Company contributions (if any) due for the Plan Year and to pay Plan expenses in accordance with Section 16.11. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, Forfeitures related to Participants of a particular Employer will be used to reduce such Employer’s share of expenses and then to reduce such Employer’s share of Company contributions, as determined in accordance with Committee procedures.

Section 7.05 Reinstatement of Forfeitures. If upon Termination of Employment a Participant incurred a Forfeiture, and if he or she is reemployed by the Company before he or she has incurred a Break in Service Period of five years, then the balance of his or her Account that was forfeited pursuant to Section 7.03, unadjusted by any gains or losses, shall be reinstated upon rehire. The restored balance shall be funded, first, by Forfeitures and, second, by additional Company contributions, which shall be due by the end of said Plan Year. Thereafter, the balance of his or her reinstated Account that is considered vested shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.02 as if the Participant had remained continuously employed by the Company, but excluding the Break in Service Period in determining Years of Service.

Section 7.06 Change in Service Crediting. If an amendment to the Plan or a transfer from employment as an Employee covered under another qualified plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Company results in a change in the method of crediting eligibility and/or vesting service with respect to a Participant between the hours of service crediting method set forth in Section 2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations and the elapsed-time crediting method set forth in Section 1.410(a)-7 of the Treasury Regulations, each Participant with respect to whom the method of crediting service is changed shall have his service determined in the manner set forth in Section 1.410(a)-7(f)(1) of the Treasury Regulations, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(a) Participants may elect how future contributions to their Accounts will be invested in the various investment funds and may change their elections from time to time.

(b) Except as provided in (c), Participants may elect to make transfers of previously contributed amounts plus earnings among the different investment funds.

(d) An election or change of election made under this Section is within the independent control of the Participant or beneficiary. To the extent this control is exercised, no person who is otherwise a fiduciary will be liable for any loss or breach resulting from the Participant’s or beneficiary’s exercise of control. The Committee and Trustee will comply with the Participant’s or beneficiary’s investment instruction unless it would result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, generate taxable income to the Trust Fund, or result in an event described in 29 CFR Section 2550.404c-1(d)(2)(ii).

(e) The Investment Committee may establish rules and procedures whereby, in the absence of an affirmative election, an Active Participant or beneficiary is deemed to have elected an investment fund that is a “qualified default investment alternative” under 29 CFR Section 2550.404c-5(e). The Investment Committee may, in its sole direction, apply such deemed investment election to an Active Participant who is automatically enrolled in the Plan pursuant to Section 5.08(b) and to any other situation involving a failure by an Active Participant or beneficiary to provide investment instruction, provided such rules and procedures are consistent with 29 CFR Section 2550.404c-5 and any final regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 9.02 and except as necessary under Section 16.16, Company policy provides that Employees who are officers subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other appointed or elected officers of the Company may not, absent prior approval of the office of the Corporate Secretary of the Company, make any investment elections impacting, or transfer into or out of, the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund outside the window period specified by the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company. Except as determined by the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company, each window period shall begin the second day following the release of the Company’s quarterly or annual statement of sales and earnings and end as of the 30th day following such announcement.

If an Employee transfers from an ineligible position to a position that makes him or her an Eligible Employee and such transferring Employee was not previously a Participant in the Plan, his or her investment elections will be made in accordance with Section 9.02.

ARTICLE 10

Post-Employment And Required Minimum Distributions

Section 10.01 In General. When a Participant terminates employment with the Affiliated Companies, becomes Disabled, or reaches age 70¹⁄₂, distributions may be made under this Article. Effective with respect to minimum distributions required to be made under Code Section 401(a)(9) after December 31, 2019 (“RMD Effective Date”), such distributions will begin no earlier than April 1st of the calendar year following the year the affected Participant attains age 72 and references herein to age 70 ¹⁄₂ shall instead refer to age 72, as the context requires. For purposes hereof, an “affected Participant” is a Participant born after June 30, 1949. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Article 10 relating to the statutory mandatory commencement of benefits pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(9) override any inconsistent provision in the Plan, including any provision in any Appendix or Exhibit hereof, that relate to such statutory provisions. These provisions are not intended to override Plan provisions that govern the earlier commencement of benefits to Participants and beneficiaries under Plan rules.

(a) Distributions on account of a Participant’s death are made under Article 13.

(b) Distributions of a Participant’s Merged Accounts are made under Appendix E or F, whichever applies.

Section 10.02 Termination, Layoff, and Leave. When a Participant:

(a) terminates employment for any reason,

(b) becomes Disabled, or

the Participant may elect to have his or her entire Account paid to him or her as soon as possible.

Section 10.03 Small Benefits.

(a) If a Participant’s vested Account equals $1,000 or less at the time of the distribution, the Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum in cash as soon as administratively practicable.

(b) If a Participant’s vested Account exceeds $1,000, but does not exceed $5,000 at the time of the distribution, the Account shall be distributed in the form of a direct rollover to an individual retirement account as designated by the Committee unless the Participant timely elects an immediate lump sum distribution or to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan as described in Section 15.06(b). For purposes of this subsection (b):

(1) The determination of whether the value of a Participant’s vested Account exceeds $1,000 shall be made by considering the Participant’s Roth Account and his or her other Accounts under the Plan as accounts held under two separate plans (within the meaning of Code Section 414(l), in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(4)(ii)); and

(2) The determination of whether the value of a Participant’s vested Account exceeds $5,000 shall be made without regard to that portion of the Participant’s vested Account that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Code Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16).

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.03, the determination of the value of a Participant’s Account balance under subsections (a) and (b) shall include his or her Money Purchase Accounts under Appendix E and Merged Accounts under Appendix F.

(d) A Participant who terminates with a zero vested Account balance is deemed to have received a distribution of his or her vested Account balance.

Section 10.04 Required Minimum Distributions.

(a) Mandatory Commencement. Distribution of a Participant’s entire Account will commence in accordance with this Section 10.04.

(b) Required Minimum Distributions.

(1) General Rules.

(A) Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 10.04(b) shall apply for determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, as amended by the SECURE Act as of the RMD Effective Date.

(B) Statutory Requirements. The provisions of this Section 10.04(b) will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

(C) Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 10.04(b) will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

(2) Time and Manner of Distribution.

(A) Mandatory Commencement Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the April 1 immediately following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 ¹⁄₂ or (ii) if so elected by the Participant under subsection (c), the calendar year in which the Participant retires.

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

(i) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 ¹⁄₂, if later.

(ii) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

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

(iv) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this Section 10.04(b)(2)(B), other than Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(i), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 10.04(b)(2)(B) and Section 10.04(b)(4), unless Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date. If Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(i). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an authorized annuity provider irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date (or to the Participant’s surviving Spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(i)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

(C) Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an authorized annuity provider or in a single sum on or before the Mandatory Commencement Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 10.04(b)(3) and (4). If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an authorized annuity provider, distributions under that annuity will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations.

(3) Required Minimum Distributions during Participant’s Lifetime.

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

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

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

(B) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 10.04(b)(3) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(4) Required Minimum Distributions after Participant’s Death.

(A) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

(i) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be

distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

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

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

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

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

(B) Death before Date Distributions Begin.

(i) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 10.04(b)(4)(A).

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

(iii) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 10.04(b)(2)(B)(i), this Section 10.04(b)(4)(B) will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

(5) Definitions.

(A) Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Article 14 and is the designated beneficiary under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-1.

(B) Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year containing the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 10.04(b)(2)(B). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

(C) Life Expectancy. Life expectancy as computed under the Single Life Table in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

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

(6) SECURE Act Requirements. The provisions of this subsection apply as of the RMD Effective Date, are intended to reflect only changes made to the Code by the SECURE Act, and shall be administered in accordance with such changes and any guidance issued thereunder notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan, including any Article, Appendix, or Exhibit, to the contrary.

(A) Delay of the Mandatory Commencement Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date.

(B) Mandatory Spousal Distributions. If the Participant dies before the Participant’s Mandatory Commencement Date and the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the

calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 72, if later.

(i) 10-Year Rule. If the distributee of a deceased Participant’s Account is a Designated Beneficiary who is not an Eligible Designated Beneficiary, then the Plan will distribute the Account in full no later than December 31 of the 10th year following the year of the Participant’s death.

(ii) Beneficiary Death. If an Eligible Designated Beneficiary dies before receiving distribution of the Beneficiary’s entire interest in the Participant’s Account, the Plan will distribute that interest in full no later than December 31 of the 10th year following the year of the Eligible Designated Beneficiary’s death. Similarly, if a Participant died before January 1, 2020, the limitations of this subparagraph 6(C) shall apply to distributions to the beneficiary of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary if the Designated Beneficiary died after January 1, 2020.

(iii) Eligible Designated Beneficiaries. An individual is an “Eligible Designated Beneficiary” of a Participant if the individual qualifies as a Designated Beneficiary and is:

(1) An Eligible Participant who fails to make an election will be treated as having elected to forego the distribution until he or she ceases to be an Eligible Participant.

(2) Eligible Participants must make the same affirmative or negative election for purposes of his or her Merged Accounts and amounts accumulated under this Plan.

(3) An individual is an Eligible Participant for purposes of this Section so long as:

ARTICLE 11

Withdrawals

Section 11.01 Eligibility for Withdrawals.

(a) Withdrawals under Sections 11.02 and 11.04 may be made by any Participant who is still employed by an Affiliated Company. A Participant may not make a withdrawal under Section 11.02 (Hardship Withdrawals) unless the Participant has completely withdrawn amounts available at the time a hardship withdrawal request is made under Section 11.04 (Other In-Service Withdrawals) and, if applicable, Section 11.03 (Age 59 ¹⁄₂ Withdrawals) and Section 10.04(c) (Age 70 ¹⁄₂ In-service Withdrawal).

(b) Withdrawals from a Participant’s Merged Accounts are subject to Appendix E or F, whichever applies. Withdrawals of all other money are made under this Article.

Section 11.02 Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant may elect a withdrawal if a hardship described in this Section occurs. Hardship withdrawals are generally limited to the dollar amount of a Participant’s Tax-Deferred Contributions (i.e., including amounts held in a Participant’s Prior Plan Pre Tax subaccount), any earnings that he or she had on any such tax-deferred contributions as of December 31, 1988, plus Roth Contributions (i.e., including amounts held in a Participant’s Prior Plan Roth subaccount). Any hardship withdrawal under the Plan shall first be made from Tax-Deferred Contributions, if any, and then from Roth Contributions to the extent necessary, except to the extent amounts available under Section 11.04 are available at the time the hardship withdrawal is processed.

(a) Determination of Hardship. Before the Participant is eligible for a hardship withdrawal, the Committee must determine that a Participant has an immediate and heavy financial need, and the amount of the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the need. This Section is to be interpreted in accordance with the hardship distribution requirements of Treasury Regulation Section l.401(k)-l(d)(3).

The Committee may request information it deems appropriate and necessary to ascertain whether a Participant is suffering a hardship.

(b) Amount Necessary to Satisfy Hardship. In determining whether the amount of the hardship withdrawal satisfies the immediate and heavy financial need, the Committee may reasonably rely upon the Participant’s representation (in writing, by an electronic medium, or in other such form as permitted by the Plan administrator in accordance with applicable law) that:

(1) the amount of the hardship withdrawal is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial needs of the Participant (including any amount necessary to pay income taxes and/or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship withdrawal);

(2) the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship withdrawals, and all non-taxable loans currently available under the Plan and all other plans of deferred compensation, whether qualified or nonqualified, maintained by the Company; and

(3) the Participant has insufficient cash or other liquid assets to satisfy the need.

(c) Immediate and Heavy Financial Need. The source of a Participant’s immediate and heavy financial need must include one or more of the following circumstances:

(1) payment of expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to the limitations in Code Section 213(a)) incurred by the Participant, his Spouse, any dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, determined without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(l)(B)) of the Participant, or primary beneficiary under the Plan;

(2) payment of tuition and related educational fees (including room and board expenses) for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education of the Participant, his Spouse, children, dependents ( as defined in Code Section 152, determined without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(l), (b)(2), and (d)(l)(B)), or primary beneficiary under the Plan;

(3) costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;

(4) prevention of eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of his principal residence;

(5) burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, Spouse, children, dependents (as defined in Code Section 152, determined without regard to Code Section 152(d)(l)(B)), or primary beneficiary under the Plan;

(6) expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds l0% of adjusted gross income and without regard to the limits imposed under Code Section 165(h)(5));

(7) any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship withdrawal; or

(8) any other circumstances determined by the Secretary of the Treasury to constitute immediate and heavy financial need for this purpose.

A financial need will not fail to qualify as immediate and heavy solely because the need was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Participant.

Beneficiaries

Section 14.01 In General. A Participant at any time may name, on a form or in a format prescribed by the Committee, a beneficiary to receive any benefits remaining under the Plan when the Participant dies. A Participant may change beneficiaries at any time. A beneficiary selection or a change in a selection is effective only when it is received by the Committee, or, if later, at the time specified by the Participant in the selection or change.

A Participant’s beneficiary may not be changed following the Participant’s death, except by (a) a written instrument intended to be a “qualified disclaimer” within the meaning of Code Section 2518, or any successor provision, that is received by the Committee not later than nine months after the Participant’s death and is accepted by the Committee prior to payment of benefits, or (b) a qualified domestic relations order under Code Section 414(p) that is received and accepted by the Committee prior to payment of benefits. The Committee may provide rules and procedures for these authorizations, which rules and procedures may be changed at any time without advance notice to Participants.

Section 14.02 Married Participants.

(a) The beneficiary of a married Participant is the Participant’s Spouse unless otherwise elected. An election of a non-spouse beneficiary by a married Participant is effective only with spousal consent.

(b) If an unmarried Participant becomes married (or a married Participant remarries), any prior selection of a beneficiary by that Participant will be invalid, and the Participant’s beneficiary will be his or her new Spouse unless a different beneficiary is named with spousal consent.

Section 14.03 Determining Marital Status and Spouse. A Participant will be considered married if he or she is married on the date of his or her death.

(a) Unless otherwise provided by a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), the Participant’s Spouse is the person to whom he or she was married when the Participant died.

(b) A qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), may provide that a former Spouse is deemed to be the Participant’s Spouse for purposes of all or a portion of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan.

(c) If within six months after the death of a Participant, the Committee has no knowledge that a Spouse survived the Participant, it shall be conclusively presumed that no Spouse survived, and distribution may be made accordingly.

Section 14.04 Spousal Consent. If a married Participant wishes to name someone other than his or her Spouse as beneficiary, the Participant may do so, but only with the written consent of his or her Spouse.

(a) For the written consent to be valid:

(1) A notary public or Plan representative must witness the signing of the consent documents;

(2) The consent documents must either designate a specific beneficiary or form of benefits, which may not be changed by the Participant without further spousal consent, or it must expressly permit the Participant to change the beneficiary or form of benefits without further consent by the Spouse; and

(3) The consent documents must acknowledge the effect of the election.

(b) Spousal consent is not required if the Committee determines that there is no Spouse, it is presumed under Section 14.03(c) that there is no Spouse, or under other circumstances permitted by regulations under the Code.

(c) Any consent by a Spouse (or determination that spousal consent cannot be obtained) is effective only with respect to that particular Spouse.

(a) The terms and conditions of the various death benefit options;

(b) The Participant’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the spousal benefit;

Section 14.06 Failure to Designate Beneficiary. If no beneficiary is properly named or the beneficiary named by the Participant dies before the Participant and no new beneficiary is named, the beneficiary will be the Participant’s Spouse, or, if there is no Spouse, the Participant’s estate.

Section 14.07 Death of Beneficiary. If a beneficiary entitled to a payment dies, any amount payable to the beneficiary will be paid in a single lump sum as soon as possible to the beneficiary’s estate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Spouse who is a beneficiary may designate a beneficiary to be paid upon such Spouse’s death; therefore, if such Spouse beneficiary dies, any amount payable to him or her will be paid to his or her designated beneficiary or, if none, to his or her estate in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 14.08 Committee Rules. The designation of beneficiaries will be made according to the Committee’s rules and procedures, which may be changed at any time without advance notice to Participants. These rules will cover, among other things, the designation of multiple and secondary beneficiaries and the selection of trusts as beneficiaries.

Section 15.02 Disputes About Payee. If the Committee determines that there is some uncertainty as to whom any Plan payment is due, the Committee is authorized to delay payment, seek agreements from the interested parties, make payment to an appropriate judicial forum and allow the court to determine the identity of the proper payee, and/or take any other necessary or appropriate steps to protect the Plan and the interested parties.

Section 15.03 Administrative Delays. If the amount of any payment cannot be determined by the date it is supposed to be paid, or if it is not possible to make payments on time because the Committee cannot find the payee, or adequate information is not available to make the distribution, or the payee has failed to make the applicable elections with the Committee, or because of other legal, financial, or administrative obstacles, payments may be made no later than 60 days after the date payment becomes possible.

Section 15.04 Facility of Payment. If the Committee deems any person entitled to receive any payment under the Plan incapable of receiving it because of age, illness or infirmity, mental incompetency, or incapacity of any kind, the Committee may, in its discretion, direct that payment be made in any one or more of the following manners:

(a) applying the amount directly for the comfort, support, and maintenance of the payee;

(b) reimbursing any person for any such support supplied by any other person to the payee;

(c) paying the amount to a legal representative or guardian or any other person selected by the Committee on behalf of the payee; or

(d) depositing the amount in a bank account to the credit of the payee.

Section 15.05 Incorrect Payment of Benefits. If the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Plan made an incorrect payment of benefits, and that a correction is necessary or desirable under the law, then:

(a) If the Plan makes an overpayment of the amount of any benefits due any payee under the Plan, the Plan may recover the amounts either by requiring the payee to return the excess to the Plan, by reducing any future Plan payments to the payee, or by any other method that the Committee deems reasonable.

(b) If the Plan makes a late payment or an underpayment of the amount of any benefits due any payee under the Plan, correct payment will be made as soon as reasonably possible after the late payment or underpayment is discovered.

Section 15.06 Direct Rollover. A Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover (as those terms are defined in this Section). This Section is intended only to implement Code Section 401(a)(31) and is to be construed accordingly.

(a) Eligible Rollover Distribution. An Eligible Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:

(1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more;

(2) any distribution to the extent the distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or

(3) any distribution made upon hardship of the Distributee.

(b) Eligible Retirement Plan. An Eligible Retirement Plan is:

(1) an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), including a Roth individual retirement account described in Code Section 408A;

(2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b);

(3) an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a);

(4) a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a);

(5) an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state; or

(6) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution.

However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to a beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary as defined in Code Section 401(a)(9)(E), but is not a surviving Spouse or a former Spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p), an Eligible Retirement Plan is only an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity that is treated as an inherited account under Code Section 402(c)(11).

(c) Distributee. A Distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving Spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified

domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees of distributions they receive. In addition, a beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary as defined in Code Section 401(a)(9)(E) is a Distributee with regard to the beneficiary’s interest in the Plan.

(d) Direct Rollover. A Direct Rollover is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

(e) Direct Rollover of After-Tax Contributions. For purposes of this Section, no portion of a distribution will fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of After-Tax Contributions, which are not includible in gross income. After-Tax Contributions, however, may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code Section 401(a), 403(a), or 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of a distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of a distribution that is not includible in gross income.

Section 15.07 Annuity Starting Date.

(a) In General. The Annuity Starting Date for Plan distributions is the business day that the distribution is valued and removed from the Participant’s investment funds.

(b) Administrative Delay. The Annuity Starting Date is the date described in (a) even though for administrative reasons payment is delayed until some later date.

(c) Valuation. The amount of a distribution is determined under the valuation rules described in other Sections of this Plan. This Section does not modify those rules in any way.

Section 15.08 Top Heavy Rules. The top-heavy provisions of Appendix B apply if the Plan becomes top-heavy.

Section 15.09 Claims and Issues. From time to time, claims or issues may arise that involve the Plan, including, among others, claims and issues raised by Participants, those addressed under any of the Internal Revenue Service’s Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System programs or similar programs, or those permitted under the terms of a qualified domestic relations order that complies with Code Section 414(p). The resolution, settlement, or adjudication of these claims or issues may result in an action that is not expressly permitted under some other Section of the Plan document. Such a procedure, agreement, or order will be respected to the extent that, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, it does not result in disqualification of the Plan or violate (or cause the Plan to violate) any applicable statute, government regulation, or ruling.

Section 15.10 Annuity Form of Distribution. To the extent required under Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, a married Participant who elects payment of his or her benefits in the form of a life annuity (if available under the Plan) must receive his or her benefits in the form of a qualified joint and 50% survivor annuity (“QJSA”) unless the Participant elects another form of

distribution permitted under the Plan, which shall include a single life annuity, or a qualified optional 75% survivor annuity (“QOSA”), with the written consent of his or her Spouse that satisfies the provisions of Code Section 417(a)(2). The required consent must be signed by the Spouse, contain an acknowledgment by the Spouse of the effect of the consent, and be witnessed by a Plan representative (other than the Participant) or by a notary public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, spousal consent need not be required if the Committee determines that there is no Spouse because the Spouse cannot be located or under other circumstances permitted by regulations under the Code. The provision for the distribution of any annuity form of distribution may be satisfied by the application of the Participant’s vested Account balance to purchase an annuity contract from an insurance company or other annuity provider.

The Committee shall provide to the Participant, within a reasonable period before payment of benefits commences, a written explanation of the terms and conditions of the QJSA and the QOSA, the Participant’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the QJSA option and elect another option, the rights of the Participant’s Spouse and the Participant’s right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a waiver of the QJSA form of distribution.

The Investment Committee may employ counsel, including investment counsel, as it may require in carrying out its duties under the Plan.

Section 17.06 Resignation of Investment Committee Members. A member of the Investment Committee may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to the Chairman of the Investment Committee. The member’s resignation will be effective as of the date of delivery or, if later, the date specified in the notice of resignation.

Section 17.07 Alternate Members. The Board or its delegate may from time to time appoint one or more persons as alternate members of the Investment Committee to serve in the absence of members of the Investment Committee, in the manner stated below, with the same effect as if they were members. The Chairman of the Investment Committee, in his or her discretion, will designate which of the alternate members may attend any particular meeting of the Investment Committee to obtain a quorum or full attendance as the Chairman may elect, upon notice given by the Chairman or at his or her direction. Each alternate member will have all the rights, powers, and obligations of a member concerning the business of meetings that he or she attends.

Section 17.08 Actions by the Investment Committee. The majority in number of the members of the Investment Committee at the time in office, represented at a meeting by members or alternate members or both, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any determination or action of the Investment Committee may be made or taken by a majority of a quorum present at any meeting thereof, or without a meeting, by resolution or written memorandum signed by a majority of the members then in office.

Section 17.09 Investment Responsibilities.

(a) The Trustee has exclusive authority and discretion to manage, control, purchase, sell, and invest the assets of the Plan, unless one or more Investment Managers are appointed, as provided below.

(b) The Board or its delegate may, in its discretion, appoint one or more Investment Managers who will have, until terminated by the Board or its delegate, the power to manage, acquire, and dispose of all or any part of the assets of the Plan allocated to an Investment Manager by the Board or its delegate. Each Investment Manager other than the Investment Committee must represent in writing that it qualifies under ERISA Section 3(38)(B) and acknowledge in writing that it is a fiduciary of the Plan. Under those circumstances, the Trustee will have no obligation to invest or otherwise manage any asset of the Plan that is subject to an Investment Manager’s management.

(c) If investment powers are divided among two or more Trustees or Investment Managers, the Investment Committee will formulate investment policies for the Trustees and Investment Managers to diversify the investments of the Plan to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so.

(d) The Investment Committee will periodically review and evaluate the investment performance of each Trustee and Investment Manager and advise the Board or its delegate of its review and evaluation. The Board may delegate to the Investment Committee the responsibility to appoint and terminate Trustees and Investment Managers, to allocate Plan assets, to formulate investment policies, and to instruct the Trustee or Investment Manager accordingly. In case of such a delegation, the Investment Committee may also appoint itself to serve as an Investment Manager.

(e) The Investment Committee will establish a funding policy and method to carry out the Plan’s objectives and will communicate it to those responsible for investing Plan assets.

Section 17.10 Liability and Indemnity.

(a) No person, Committee member, Investment Committee member, Trustee, or Investment Manager who has a fiduciary responsibility, or to whom such responsibility is allocated, as provided in this Article, by appointment or otherwise, will be liable for any act or omission or investment policy of any other fiduciary except as provided in ERISA Section 405.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Employers will indemnify and hold harmless members and former members of the Board of directors and the Investment Committee, officers and former officers, and Employees and former Employees concerning their responsibilities under this Article. The Employers may purchase insurance to cover the liabilities of those persons for breach of fiduciary duty and any other error or omission.

ARTICLE 18

Amendment and Termination

Section 18.01 Right to Amend the Plan. The Company’s right to amend the Plan is provided in Article 5 of the Standard Definitions and Procedures for Certain Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. Retirement Plans, which Article is incorporated herein by reference.

Section 18.02 Termination or Reduction. The Company maintains the Plan voluntarily.

(a) The Company reserves the right at any time to terminate the Plan or to suspend, reduce, or partially or completely discontinue contributions to the Plan through written resolution of the Board.

(b) If the Company, in its discretion, terminates or completely discontinues contributions to the Plan (as defined under Code Section 411(d)(3)), the interests of all Participants in their Accounts will be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

(c) Distributions may be made only if the Plan is completely terminated and only to the extent permitted by the tax rules governing the Plan.

(d) This Section does not apply to partial terminations.

Section 18.03 Partial Terminations. The Company reserves the right at any time to partially terminate the Plan through written resolution of the Board.

(a) If the Company in its discretion determines that a partial termination of the Plan has occurred (as described in Code Section 411(d)(3) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(d)-2(b)), the rights of Participants affected by the partial termination will automatically become fully vested, but only to the extent required by statute and regulation.

(b) If the Company in its discretion determines that a horizontal partial termination has occurred (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(d)-2(b)(2)), only that portion of a Participant’s benefit (if any) that is affected by the horizontal partial termination will become vested.

(d) Nothing in this Plan is intended to give any rights greater than those required by statute or regulation concerning partial terminations.

ARTICLE 19

Mergers

Section 19.01 Merger of Plans. If the Plan merges or consolidates with, or transfers its assets or liabilities to, any other plan, then, to the extent required by ERISA, each Participant is entitled to receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer (assuming that the Plan had then terminated) that is equal to or greater than the benefit to which he or she would have been entitled immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (assuming that the Plan had then terminated).

(a) This Section is intended only to implement Code Sections 401(a)(12) and 414(l) and ERISA Section 208. It does not require anything more than those statutes require.

(b) In particular, a merger or transfer under this Section does not require any act or change in status that would be required by an actual termination, such as liquidation of the Trust Fund.

(c) This Section does not guarantee the value of Accounts at the same level as immediately before a merger or transfer. Accounts may decrease in value following a merger or transfer just as in the ordinary course, and the risk of any decreases remains on the Participants.

ARTICLE 20

Return of Contributions

Section 20.01 In General. Unless one of the exceptions in the next Section applies, ERISA requires that the Trust Fund be used for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their beneficiaries and to pay reasonable Plan expenses.

Section 20.02 Exceptions. If any contribution is made:

(a) by a mistake of fact, or

(b) conditioned on its deductibility (all contributions are conditioned on their deductibility) and that contribution is not deductible in the taxable year of the contribution under Code Section 404,

the contribution will be returned to the Affiliated Companies within one year after the date of payment by mistake or the date of disallowance, whichever applies.

ARTICLE 21

Miscellaneous

Section 21.01 Headings. The headings and subheadings in this Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only. If a heading and the content of a Section conflict, the content of the Section controls.

Section 21.02 Construction. Except to the extent preempted by federal law in accordance with ERISA, this Plan is construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Section 21.03 No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Plan confers upon any Employee any right to be retained in the service of the Affiliated Companies or to interfere with the right of the Affiliated Companies to otherwise deal with their Employees without regard to the existence of the Plan.

Section 21.04 Limitation to Trust Fund. The Affiliated Companies have no liability for benefits under the Plan beyond the contributions required by the Plan’s terms. Nothing in the Plan gives any Participant or beneficiary any right to assets of the Affiliated Companies, and all Plan benefits are limited to the amounts in the Trust Fund. The Affiliated Companies, the Committee and the Investment Committee do not guarantee the Trust Fund in any manner against loss or depreciation and do not guarantee the payment of any benefit that may become due under the Plan.

Section 21.05 Separability. If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if that provision had not been included.

APPENDIX A

Section 415 Limits

Section A.01 In General. Annual additions under this Plan are subject to the limitations of Code Section 415 and its regulations, which are incorporated here by reference.

Section A.02 Reductions Among Defined Contribution Plans. If a Participant participates in another defined contribution plan and the total Annual Additions on his or her behalf under all defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company exceed the limitations under Code Section 415, the Employer may elect, consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(g)-1(b)(3)(iii), to treat the other defined contribution plan as causing a violation under Code Section 415, subject to the correction methods permitted thereunder.

Section A.03 Compensation. For purposes of this Appendix, the term “Compensation” means all amounts paid to the Employee by the Affiliated Companies that are treated as “Compensation” under Code Section 415(c)(3). “Compensation” includes elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Code Section 132(f)(4).

Section A.04 Annual Additions. Annual additions are, for any Limitation Year,

(a) The sum, credited to a Participant for the Limitation Year under plans of the Special Aggregation Group, of:

(1) Employer contributions allocated to an account,

(2) Employee contributions,

(3) Forfeitures allocated to an account,

(4) Contributions to individual medical accounts described in Code Section 415(l)(1), and

(5) Contributions to individual medical accounts described in Code Section 419A(d)(2).

(b) Amounts described in (a)(1) (4) include any amounts under a qualified defined contribution or defined benefit plan.

(1) Rollover contributions;

(2) Loan repayments;

(3) Buyback repayments under Code Section 411(a)(3)(D) or 411(a)(7)(C); or

(4) Direct transfers of employee contributions from one qualified plan to another.

Section A.05 Limitation Year. The limitation year specified in a plan. But if none is specified, the limitation year is the calendar year.

Section A.06 Special Aggregation Group. The Affiliated Companies plus any entity that is, or that is part of an entity that is:

(a) a member of a controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of Code Section 414(b)) with the Company,

(b) under common control (under Code Section 414(c)) with the Company, or

Under this Section, the phrase “more than 50 percent” is substituted for the phrase “at least 80 percent” each time it appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1).

APPENDIX B

Top Heavy Provisions

Section B.01 Generally. This Appendix only applies if the Plan becomes Top-Heavy. The rules in this Appendix are intended to conform to Code Section 416.

Section B.02 Eligibility for Required Contributions. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top Heavy, the required contributions described in Section B.03 will be provided under this Plan to any Employee who meets the requirements of (a) and (b):

(a) The Employee is not a Key Employee.

(b) The Employee has previously become a Participant in the Plan and has not incurred a severance from employment by the end of the Plan Year, with the determination of whether or not an Employee is a participant for purposes of this Section to be made without regard to whether or not the Employee:

(1) failed to complete 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year;

(2) would otherwise be excluded from participation (or receives no contributions or less than a full contribution) because of a failure to make mandatory Employee contributions (or elective deferrals); or

(3) would otherwise be excluded from participation (or receives no contributions or less than a full contribution) because his or her earnings are less than a stated amount.

Section B.03 Required Contribution. The required contribution under this Section is:

(a) An employer contribution equal to the employer contribution to be provided under this Plan without regard to this Appendix, increased by the Top-Heavy Minimum under Section B.04 or B.05, whichever applies.

(b) References to “employer contributions” in this Appendix include amounts attributable to forfeitures, but do not include amounts attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement.

Section B.04 Top-Heavy Minimum. Unless Section B.05 applies, the Top-Heavy Minimum is determined under (a) as modified by (b).

(a) The amount of the minimum employer contribution is the lesser of the following percentages of Compensation:

(1) Three percent (3%), or

(2) The highest percentage at which employer contributions are made under the Plan for the Plan Year on behalf of a Key Employee.

(A) For purposes of this paragraph (2), all defined contribution plans required to be included in an Aggregation Group are treated as one plan.

(B) This paragraph (2) does not apply if the Plan is required to be included in an Aggregation Group and the Plan enables a defined benefit plan required to be included in the Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410.

(C) For purposes of this paragraph (2), the percentage at which contributions are made for a Key Employee is calculated based only on his or her Compensation.

(D) For purposes of this paragraph (2), pre-tax salary deferral contributions made by a Key Employee are treated as employer contributions.

(b) The Top-Heavy Minimum of this Section is reduced by the amount of Nonintegrated employer contributions and employer matching contributions (as defined in Code Section 401(m)(4)) otherwise made on the Employee’s behalf under this Plan and all other defined contribution plans of the Affiliated Companies.

Section B.05 Participants Under Defined Benefit Plans. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, if any Employee for whom a contribution is required under Section B.02 for the Plan Year would also be eligible for a top-heavy minimum benefit for a corresponding plan year (as defined in (d)) under a defined benefit plan of the Affiliated Companies (before this Section is applied), then:

(a) This Section rather than Section B.04 applies to the Employee for the Plan Year, and

(b) The Top-Heavy Minimum is a Nonintegrated employer contribution for the Employee for the Plan Year equal to 5% of the Employee’s Compensation (without regard to profits and without regard to the amount of contributions, if any, made to defined contribution plans on behalf of Key Employees).

(c) The Top-Heavy Minimum in (b) will be reduced by the amount of Nonintegrated employer contributions and employer matching contributions (as defined in Code Section 401(m)(4)) otherwise made on the Employee’s behalf under this Plan and all other defined contribution plans of the Affiliated Companies.

(d) The corresponding plan year is determined as follows:

(1) Ascertain the Determination Date for this Plan utilized to determine that this Plan is Top-Heavy for the relevant year.

(2) Next ascertain the Determination Date for the defined benefit plan that was aggregated with the Determination Date in (d)(1) under the provisions of Section B.12.

(3) The corresponding plan year for the defined benefit plan is the plan year for which the defined contribution plan was determined to be Top-Heavy on the basis of the Determination Date ascertained in (d)(2).

Section B.06 Leased Employees. Leased Employees are not considered “Employees” under this Appendix unless they are eligible to participate under the terms of the Plan.

Section B.07 Determination of Top Heaviness. The determination of whether a plan is Top-Heavy is made as follows:

(a) If the Plan is not required to be included in an Aggregation Group with other plans, then it is Top-Heavy only if:

(1) when considered by itself, it is a Top-Heavy Plan, and

(2) it is not included in a permissive Aggregation Group that is not a Top-Heavy Group.

(b) If the Plan is required to be included in an Aggregation Group with other plans, it is Top-Heavy only if the Aggregation Group, including any permissively aggregated plans, is Top-Heavy.

(c) If a plan is not a Top-Heavy Plan and is not required to be included in an Aggregation Group, then it is not Top-Heavy even if it is permissively aggregated in an Aggregation Group that is a Top-Heavy Group.

Section B.08 Calculation of Top-Heavy Ratios. A plan is Top-Heavy and an Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group for any plan year if the sum as of the Determination Dates of the Cumulative Accrued Benefits and the Cumulative Accounts of Special Members who are Key Employees for the plan year exceeds 60% of a similar sum determined for all Special Members, excluding Cumulative Accrued Benefits and Cumulative Accounts of former Key Employees from the calculations entirely.

Section B.09 Cumulative Accounts and Cumulative Accrued Benefits. The Cumulative Accounts and Cumulative Accrued Benefits for any Employee are determined as follows:

(a) “Cumulative Account” means the sum of the amounts of a Special Member’s accounts under a defined contribution plan (for an unaggregated plan) or under all defined contribution plans included in an Aggregation Group (for aggregated plans) determined as of the most recent plan valuation date within a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, increased by:

(1) For plans not subject to the minimum funding requirements of Code Section 412, except for the first plan year, amounts actually contributed after the valuation date and on or before the Determination Date.

(2) For plans not subject to the minimum funding requirements of Code Section 412, for the first plan year, the contributions referred to in (1) as well as amounts contributed after the Determination Date but allocated as of a date within the first plan year.

(3) For plans subject to the minimum funding requirements of Code Section 412, amounts that would be allocated as of a date after the valuation date but no later than the Determination Date (even though not then required to be contributed) and amounts contributed or due before the expiration of the Code Section 412(c)(10) extended payment period.

(b) “Cumulative Accrued Benefit” means the sum of the present value of a Special Member’s accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan (for an unaggregated plan) or under all defined benefit plans included in an Aggregation Group (for aggregated plans), determined under the actuarial assumptions provided in the plan or plans, as of the most recent plan valuation date within a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date as if the participant voluntarily terminated service—

(1) as of the Determination Date, for the first plan year of the plan,

(2) for any other plan year, as of the most recent valuation date within the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, or

(3) if earlier, the participant’s actual termination date.

(4) The valuation date used must be the same valuation date used for computing costs for minimum funding purposes, regardless of whether a valuation is performed for the year.

(c) Accounts and benefits are calculated to include all amounts attributable to both employer and Employee contributions and forfeitures but excluding amounts attributable to voluntary deductible Employee contributions.

(d) Accounts and benefits are increased by the aggregate distributions (except for amounts already included at the valuation date under (a) and (b)) during the Test Period made for a Special Member under the plan or plans as the case may be or under a terminated plan that, if it had not been terminated, would have been required to be included in the Aggregation Group. For distributions made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision is applied by substituting “5-year period ending on the Determination Date” for “Test Period.”

(e) Rollovers and direct plan-to-plan transfers are treated as follows:

(1) If the transfer is initiated by the Special Member and made from a plan maintained by an employer not a member of the Affiliated Companies to a plan maintained by the Affiliated Companies, or vice-versa, the transferring plan continues to count the amount transferred under the rules for counting distributions. The receiving plan does not count the amount if accepted after December 31, 1983, but does count it if accepted before January 1, 1984.

(2) If the transfer is not initiated by the Special Member or is made between plans maintained by the Affiliated Companies, the transferring plan no longer counts the amount transferred and the receiving plan does count the amount transferred.

(f) The accrued benefits and accounts attributable to any Employee who has not performed services for the Affiliated Companies at any time during the Test Period are not taken into account.

(g) Benefits paid on account of death are counted as distributions only to the extent they do not exceed the present value of accrued benefits existing immediately before death. For life insurance under defined contribution plans, only the cash value of life insurance policies distributed on account of death are counted as a distribution.

(h) Solely for determining whether the Plan, or any other plan included in a required Aggregation Group of which this Plan is a part, is Top-Heavy, the accrued benefit of a Special Member other than a Key Employee is determined under:

(1) The method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Affiliated Companies, or

(2) If there is no such method, as is described in (1), as if the benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rule of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).

(i) Calculations are made separately for each plan as of each plan’s Determination Date and then all plans are combined by utilizing the Determination Dates for plans that fall within the same calendar year.

Section B.10 Other Definitions. The definitions in Sections B.11 and B.20 apply under this Appendix.

Section B.11 Affiliated Companies. The Company and any entity that is or that is a part of an entity that is:

(a) a member of a controlled group of corporations (under Code Section 414(b)) with the Company,

(b) under common control (under Code Section 414(c)) with the Company,

(d) otherwise required to be aggregated with the Company under regulations under Code Section 414(o).

Section B.12 Aggregation Group. For any Determination Date, the Aggregation Group includes a plan or group of plans qualified under Code Section 401(a), 403(a), or 408(k) maintained by the Affiliated Companies (including plans which have terminated within the Test Period) which:

(a) during the Test Period, or any of the four preceding Plan Years, had a Key Employee participant, or

(b) during the Test Period, or any of the four preceding Plan Years, enabled any plan in which a Key Employee was a participant to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, or

(c) were selected by the Company for permissive aggregation (as long as inclusion of the permissive plans would not prevent the entire group of plans from continuing to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410).

Section B.13 Compensation. For purposes of this Appendix, the term “Compensation” means all amounts paid to the Employee by the Affiliated Companies that are treated as “Compensation” under Code Section 415(c)(3).

Section B.14 Determination Date. For any plan year, the term “Determination Date” means:

(a) the last day of the preceding plan year, or

(b) for the first plan year of the plan, the last day of the plan year.

Section B.15 Hour of Service. An Hour of Service is determined under the following rules and under Department of Labor Regulations at 29 CFR Section 2530.200b 2, which are incorporated into this Plan by reference:

(a) An Hour of Service is each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the Affiliated Companies during the applicable computation period.

(b) An Hour of Service is each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment by the Affiliated Companies on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), lay-off, jury duty, military duty, or leave of absence. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

(1) No more than 501 Hours of Service are required to be credited under (b) to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period);

(2) An hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which no duties are performed is not required to be credited to the Employee if such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable workmen’s compensation, unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws; and

(3) Hours of Service are not required to be credited for a payment which solely reimburses an Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by the Employee.

(c) For purposes of (b), a payment is deemed to be made by or due from the Affiliated Companies regardless of whether the payment is made by or due from the Affiliated Companies directly, or indirectly through, among others, a trust, fund, or insurer to which the Affiliated Companies contribute or pay premiums and regardless of whether contributions made or due to the trust, fund, insurer, or other entity are for the benefit of particular Employees or are on behalf of a group of Employees in the aggregate.

(d) An Hour of Service is each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Affiliated Companies. The same Hours of Service may not be credited both under (a) or (b), as the case may be, and under this subsection (d). Thus, for example, an Employee who receives a back pay award following a determination that he or she was paid at an unlawful rate for hours of service previously credited will not be entitled to additional credit for the same hours of service. Crediting of Hours of Service for back pay awarded or agreed to for periods described in (b) is subject to the limitations in that subsection. For example, no more than 501 Hours of Service are required to be credited for payments of back pay, to the extent that the back pay is agreed to or awarded for a period during which an Employee did not or would not have performed duties.

Section B.16 Key Employee. Any Special Member who is or was, at any time during the Test Period, described in (a), (b), or (c).

(a) Subject to (1) and (2), an officer of the Employer having annual Compensation greater than $185,000, (the 2021 IRS limit, as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1)).

(1) The maximum number of officers is the lesser of:

(A) Fifty, or

(B) The greater of (i) three or (ii) 10 percent (rounded to the next highest integer) of the greatest number of Employees who performed services for the Affiliated Companies in the Test Period.

(2) The following are not “officers” for purposes of this Section:

(A) Employees described in Code Section 414(q)(5).

(B) Employees and officers of entities referred to in Code Section 414(d).

(b) An Employee who owns (or is treated as owning under Code Section 318) more than five percent of the outstanding stock of any member of the Affiliated Companies or stock possessing more than five percent of the total combined voting power of that stock.

(c) An Employee who would be described in (b) above if “one percent” were substituted for “five percent” and who has annual pay of more than $150,000 for the Plan Year of ownership.

(d) For purposes of determining ownership under this Section, Code Section 318(a)(2)(C) is applied by substituting “five percent” for “50 percent,” and Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m), and (o) do not apply.

Section B.17 Limitation Year. The calendar year.

Section B.18 Nonintegrated. A “Nonintegrated” benefit means a benefit determined without taking into account contributions or benefits under Code Chapter 2 (relating to tax on self-employment income), Code Chapter 21 (relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act), title II of the Social Security Act, or any other federal or state law.

Section B.19 Special Member. For purposes of this Appendix, a “Special Member” is any person employed or formerly employed by the Affiliated Companies and any beneficiary of any such person, provided that the requirements of Sections B.02 and B.05 do not apply to any person included in a unit of Employees covered by an agreement the Secretary of Labor finds (in accordance with the rules of Code Section 7701(b)) to be a collective bargaining agreement between Employee representatives and one or more members of the Affiliated Companies if there is evidence that retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between the Employee representatives and the member or members of the Affiliated Companies.

Section B.20 Test Period. The plan year containing the Determination Date concerned.

APPENDIX C

The 401(k) and 401(m) Tests

Section C.01 In General. This Appendix describes the limitations imposed by the federal tax laws on contributions that may be made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Participants. This Appendix is intended solely to implement the requirements of Code Sections 401(k) and (m).

Section C.02 The 401(k) Test. Sections C.03 and C.07 implement the nondiscrimination requirements in Code Section 401(k) and the regulations under that section, which are incorporated here by reference. The Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2019, to change from the “prior year” testing method to the “current year” testing method and the provisions described in this Appendix C shall be construed accordingly.

Section C.03 K Percentage. This term means the average of the K Ratios, calculated separately for each Participant in a group. The K Ratio is the amount of all Tax-Deferred Contributions and Roth Contributions made to a Participant’s Account for a Plan Year, plus the “qualified matching contributions” and the “qualified nonelective contributions” treated by the Committee as Tax Deferred Contributions, divided by the Participant’s Compensation for that Plan Year.

(a) Qualified Matching Contributions And Qualified Nonelective Contributions.

(1) Qualified Matching Contributions. The term “qualified matching contributions” means matching contributions that satisfy the additional requirements of (3).

(2) Qualified Nonelective Contributions. The term “qualified nonelective contributions” means employer contributions, other than elective contributions and matching contributions, that satisfy the additional requirements of (3).

(3) Additional Requirements. Except to the extent that Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-1(c) and (d) specifically provide otherwise, the matching contributions and the nonelective contributions must satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k) 1(c) and (d) as though the contributions were elective contributions, without regard to whether the contributions are actually taken into account as elective contributions under paragraph (b)(2) of this Section. Thus, the matching and nonelective contributions must satisfy the vesting requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(c) and be subject to the distribution requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d) when they are allocated to Participants’ Accounts.

(b) Qualified Nonelective Contributions And Qualified Matching Contributions That May Be Taken Into Account Under The Actual Deferral Percentage Test. All or part of the qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions made for any or all Employees who are Eligible Employees under the Plan may be treated as elective contributions, provided that each of the following requirements (to the extent applicable) is satisfied:

(1) The amount of nonelective contributions, including those qualified nonelective contributions treated as elective contributions for purposes of the actual deferral percentage test, satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4). See Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(4)-1(b)(2).

(2) The amount of nonelective contributions, excluding those qualified nonelective contributions treated as elective contributions for purposes of the actual deferral percentage test and those qualified nonelective contributions treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test, satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4). See Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(4)-1(b)(2).

(3) The qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(4)(i)(A) for the Plan Year as if the contributions were elective contributions.

(4) The Plan and the plan or plans to which the qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions are made, could be aggregated under Treasury Regulation Section 1.410(b)-7(d) after application of the mandatory disaggregation rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.410(b)-7(c), as modified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(v). If the Plan Year is changed to satisfy the requirement under Treasury Regulation Section 1.410(b)-7(d)(5) that aggregated plans have the same plan year, the qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions may be taken into account in the resulting short plan year only if the contributions satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(4)(i) with respect to the short year as if the contributions were elective contributions and the aggregated plans could otherwise be aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b).

Section C.04 401(k) Limit. In any Plan Year, the K Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants may not be more than the greater of –

(a) the K Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) the lesser of 2% plus the K Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year or the K Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year multiplied by 2.0.


K Percentage for Nonhighly Compensated (Non-HC%)		Maximum K Percentage allowed for Highly Compensated
0%		0%
Greater than 0%, up to 2%		Non-HC% x 2
Greater than 2%, up to 8%		Non-HC% + 2
Over 8%		Non-HC% x 1.25

For the avoidance of doubt, reference to “current Plan Year” refers to the Plan Year for which the 401(k) test is being performed.

Section C.05 Highly Compensated Individual K Percentage Limit. If at the end of any Plan Year the K Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants exceeds the group limit in Section C.04, the Committee will determine the initial maximum individual K Percentage limit for Highly Compensated Participants. The initial maximum limit is a ceiling on each Highly Compensated Participant’s individual K Percentage, which, if imposed, would bring the group K Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants within the limits imposed by the previous Section.

Section C.06 Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions. In any Plan Year in which the K Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants exceeds the 401(k) limit, the Excess Tax Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions are determined under this Section.

(a) The Total Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions equal the sum of the Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions for each Highly Compensated Participant.

(b) The Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions for a Highly Compensated Participant equal the excess of the Participant’s Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions for the Plan Year over (1) multiplied by (2) as follows:

(1) the maximum individual K Percentage limit for Highly Compensated Participants (see Section C.05);

(2) the Participant’s Compensation.

Section C.07 Treatment of Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions. Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions will be either recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions (in accordance with IRS regulations) or repaid to the Participants, along with earnings on the excess amounts.

(a) Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions will be recharacterized or repaid as follows:

(1) An amount will be recharacterized or repaid to the Highly Compensated Participant(s) with the most Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions as follows:

(A) The amount recharacterized or repaid is the amount necessary to reduce that Participant’s Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions to the dollar amount of Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions of the Highly Compensated Participant with the next most Individual Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions.

(B) A lesser amount will be recharacterized or repaid if that lesser amount, when added to the total dollar amount already recharacterized or repaid, equals the Total Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions.

(2) The process in paragraph (1) is repeated until the Total Excess Tax-Deferred Contributions and/or Roth Contributions have been recharacterized or repaid in full.

(b) The following additional rules apply:

(1) Repaid earnings include amounts earned for the Plan Year in which the contributions were made.

(2) Any repayment under this Section must be made before the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year to which the excesses are attributable.

(3) Recharacterization will not occur for any Highly Compensated Participant to the extent that the recharacterized amounts, in combination with After-Tax Contributions made by or on behalf of the Participant, exceed the maximum amount of After-Tax Contributions the Participant would be permitted to make under the Plan in absence of recharacterization.

(4) If a Participant’s contributions are recharacterized as After Tax Contributions for a Plan Year due to such Participant reaching the dollar limit in Section 6.02(a), in accordance with Section 6.02(c)(1), the Participant’s elected percentage of Compensation that was in effect for such Plan Year prior to such recharacterization shall be in effect for the subsequent Plan Year, unless the Participant makes a new election. If contributions must be returned to a Participant due to contribution limits or as the result of the nondiscrimination testing, Roth Contributions shall be returned prior to Tax Deferred Contributions.

Section C.08 The 401(m) Test. Sections C.09 and C.13 are intended to implement the nondiscrimination requirements set forth in Code Section 401(m) and the regulations under that section, which are incorporated here by reference. The limitations of this Section will be imposed after the operation of the 401(k) test. The Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2019, to change from the “prior year” testing method to the “current year” testing method and the provisions described in this Appendix C shall be construed accordingly.

Section C.09 A&C Percentage. This term means the average of the A&C Ratios, calculated separately for each Participant in a group. The A&C Ratio is the amount of all After Tax and Company Matching Contributions made to a Participant’s Account for a Plan Year, plus the “elective contributions” and the “qualified nonelective contributions” treated by the Committee as matching contributions, divided by the Participant’s Compensation for that Plan Year. However, the A&C Ratio does not count amounts counted under the 401(k) test.

(a) Qualified Nonelective Contributions.

(1) Qualified Nonelective Contributions. The term “qualified nonelective contributions” means employer contributions, other than elective contributions and matching contributions, that satisfy the additional requirements of (2).

(2) Additional Requirements. Except to the extent that Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-1(c) and (d) specifically provide otherwise, the nonelective contributions must satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-1(c) and (d) as though the contributions were elective contributions, without regard to whether the contributions are actually taken into account as elective contributions under paragraph (b)(2) of this Section. Thus, the nonelective contributions must satisfy the vesting requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(c) and be subject to the distribution requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d) when they are allocated to Participants’ Accounts.

(b) Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Elective Contributions That May Be Taken Into Account under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test. All or part of the qualified nonelective contributions and elective contributions made with respect to any or all Employees who are Eligible Employees under the Plan may be treated as matching contributions provided that each of the following requirements (to the extent applicable) is satisfied:

(1) The amount of nonelective contributions, including those qualified nonelective contributions treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test, satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4).

(2) The amount of nonelective contributions, excluding those qualified nonelective contributions treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and those qualified nonelective contributions treated as elective contributions under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) for purposes of the actual deferral percentage test, satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4).

(3) The elective contributions, including those treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test, satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(3).

(4) The qualified nonelective contributions are allocated to the Employee under the Plan as of a date within the Plan Year (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(4)(i)(A)), and the elective contributions satisfy Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(4)(i) for the Plan Year.

(5) The plan that takes qualified nonelective contributions and elective contributions into account in determining whether employee and matching contributions satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(2)(A), and the plans to which the qualified nonelective contributions and elective contributions are made, are or could be aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b) (other than the average benefit percentage test). If the plan year of the plan being tested is changed to satisfy the requirement under Code Section 410(b) that the aggregated plans have the same plan year, the elective contributions may be taken into account in the resulting short plan year only if these contributions satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k) 2(a)(4) with respect to the short year, and the qualified nonelective contributions may be taken into account in the resulting short plan year only if these contributions satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(4)(i)(A) with respect to the short year as if they were elective contributions.

Section C.10 Highly Compensated Group Contribution Limit. In any Plan Year, the A&C Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Participants may not be more than the greater of –

(a) the A&C Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or

(b) the lesser of 2% plus the A&C Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year or the A&C Percentage for the current Plan Year for all Participants that are not Highly Compensated Participants in that Plan Year multiplied by 2.0.

The following chart expresses this concept.


A&C Percentage for Nonhighly Compensated (Non-HC%)		Maximum A&C Percentage allowed for Highly Compensated
0%		0%
Greater than 0%, up to 2%		Non-HC% x 2
Greater than 2%, up to 8%		Non-HC% + 2
Over 8%		Non-HC% x 1.25

For the avoidance of doubt, reference to “current Plan Year” refers to the Plan Year for which the 401 (m) test is being performed.

Section C.11 Highly Compensated Individual A&C Limit. If at the end of any Plan Year the A&C Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants exceeds the group limit in Section C.10, the Committee will determine the initial maximum individual A&C percentage limit for Highly Compensated Participants. The initial maximum limit is a ceiling on each Highly Compensated Participant’s individual A&C percentage, which, if imposed, would bring the group A&C Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants within the limits imposed by the previous Section.

Section C.12 Excess A&C Contributions. In any Plan Year in which the A&C Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants exceeds the A&C limit, the Excess A&C Contributions are determined under this Section.

(a) The Total Excess A&C Contributions equal the sum of the Individual Excess A&C Contributions for each Highly Compensated Participant.

(b) The Individual Excess A&C Contributions for a Highly Compensated Participant equal the excess of the Participant’s After-Tax and Company Matching Contributions for that Plan Year over (1) multiplied by (2) as follows:

(1) the maximum individual A&C limit for Highly Compensated Participants (see Section C.11);

(2) the Participant’s Compensation.

Section C.13 Treatment of Excess A&C Contributions. Excess A&C Contributions are treated as follows:

(a) Excess A&C Contributions are repaid as follows:

(1) An amount will be repaid to the Highly Compensated Participant(s) with the most Individual Excess A&C Contributions as follows:

(A) The amount repaid is the amount necessary to reduce that Participant’s Individual Excess A&C Contributions to the dollar amount of Individual Excess A&C Contributions of the Highly Compensated Participant with the next most Individual Excess A&C Contributions.

(B) A lesser amount will be repaid if such lesser amount, when added to the total dollar amount already repaid, equals the Total Excess A&C Contributions.

(2) The process in paragraph (1) is repeated until the Total Excess A&C Contributions have been repaid in full.

(b) The following additional rules apply:

(1) Participant contributions are repaid to a Participant along with earnings on the repaid amounts.

(2) Company Matching Contributions are forfeited along with their earnings and applied to reduce future Company contributions to the Plan. Repayments and forfeitures must be made before the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year to which the excess amounts are attributable.

(3) Earnings include amounts earned for the Plan Year in which the contributions were made.

Section C.14 Reductions During the Year. This Appendix in no way restricts the Committee’s ability to reduce the amount of contributions that may be made during a Plan Year to try to prevent the Plan from exceeding the limits in this Appendix.

Section C.15 Unmatched Company Contributions. If as the result of the operation of Section 6.02 (the dollar limit on Tax Deferred and Roth Contributions, as indexed) and/or the 401(k) test and/or the 401(m) test, a Participant’s contributions are reduced so that Company Matching Contributions previously made are no longer matched by sufficient Participant contributions, the Participant’s Company Matching Contributions will be reduced to match properly the Participant’s remaining contributions. The excess Company Matching Contributions will be forfeited and applied to reduce future Company contributions to the Plan.

Section C.16 Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Amounts allocated under an employee stock ownership plan described in Code Section 4975(e)(7) are counted under the 401(k) test and the 401(m) test for the Plan.

Section C.17 Compensation. For purposes of this Appendix, Compensation means Compensation as defined under Code Section 414(s).

APPENDIX D

Highly Compensated Participants

Section D.01 In General. This Appendix implements Code Section 414(q) and will not be construed to require anything more than that statute requires.

Section D.02 Highly Compensated Participant. A Highly Compensated Participant is any Employee who performs services for the Affiliated Companies during the Plan Year and is:

(a) An Eligible Employee who could actively participate in the Plan (i.e., by making contributions) during a Plan Year whether or not he or she does actively participate in the Plan; and

(b) Described under the 5%-Owner test of Section D.03 or the Preceding Plan Year Compensation Test of Section D.04.

Section D.03 5%-Owner Test. A Participant is a Highly Compensated Participant in the current Plan Year if he or she was a 5%-Owner at any time during the current Plan Year or during the preceding Plan Year.

Section D.04 Preceding Plan Year Compensation Test. A Participant is a Highly Compensated Participant in the current Plan Year if he or she earned compensation from the Affiliated Companies in excess of $130,000 (the 2020 and 2021 IRS limits, as indexed) during the preceding Plan Year.

Section D.05 5%-Owner. For purposes of this Section, an Employee is treated as a 5% owner in a Plan Year if at any time during the Plan Year the Employee owned more than 5% of the outstanding stock of any member of the Affiliated Companies or stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power of such stock.

(a) An Employee is deemed to own not only his or her own stock but also any stock that he or she is treated as owning by Code Section 318. In addition, Code Section 318(a)(2)(C) is applied by substituting “5%” for “50%.”

(b) Subsections (b), (c), and (m) of Code Section 414, which treat different but related employers as a single employer, do not apply in determining whether an Employee owns more than 5% of any member of the Affiliated Companies. That is, an Employee who owns more than 5% of just a single subsidiary is a 5%-Owner.

Section D.06 Nonresident Aliens. Nonresident aliens who receive from the Affiliated Companies no earned income (as defined in Code Section 911(d)(2)) constituting income from sources within the United States (as defined in Code Section 861(a)(3)) are not Employees under this Appendix.

Section D.07 Compensation. For purposes of this Appendix, the term “compensation” means all amounts paid to the Employee by the Affiliated Companies that is treated as “Compensation” under Code Section 415(c)(3). This includes amounts paid to the Employee during the entire Plan Year even if the Employee was an active Participant in the Plan only for part of the year. “Compensation” includes elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Code Section 132(f)(4).

Distributions upon death before a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date are made under Article E5.

Section E4.02 Small Benefits. Section 10.03 shall apply to a Participant who terminates employment with the Affiliated Companies for any reason other than death with a vested Account balance that does not exceed $5,000.

Section E4.03 Lump Sums. Subject to the spousal consent rules of Section E4.09, a Participant who terminates employment with an Account balance over $5,000, as determined under Section 10.03, may elect to receive his or her entire Money Purchase Account as part of a single lump sum paid in combination with any other lump sum distribution under Article 10.

Section E4.04 Married Participants. Unless otherwise elected under Section E4.03, Money Purchase Accounts of married Participants are paid in the joint and survivor annuity option. See Section E4.06. A Participant’s entire Money Purchase Account will be distributed in one form. But, if a Participant has more than one Money Purchase Account, he or she may elect different benefit forms for each of those accounts.

Section E4.05 Unmarried Participants. Unless otherwise elected under Section E4.03, Money Purchase Accounts of unmarried Participants are paid in the life annuity option. See Section E4.07.

Section E4.06 Joint And Survivor Option. Under this option, a Participant’s Money Purchase Account balance is used to purchase an annuity contract from an insurance company. The contract pays the Participant a monthly benefit for life and then, after the death of the Participant, a benefit equal to 50% or 75% of the Participant’s monthly benefit to the Participant’s Spouse for the remainder of his or her life if the Spouse is still alive. If the Spouse is not still alive when the Participant dies, no further payments are made.

Section E4.07 Life Annuity Option. Under this option, a Participant’s Money Purchase Account balance is used to purchase a single life annuity contract from an insurance company. The contract pays the Participant a monthly benefit for life. No payments are made after the Participant dies.

ARTICLE E5

Death Benefits

Section E5.01 In General. This Article describes the payment of Money Purchase Account benefits following the death of a Participant before his or her Annuity Starting Date. If a Participant dies after his or her Annuity Starting Date (even if actual commencement is delayed for some reason), Article E4 applies to Money Purchase Account death benefits.

Section E5.02 Small Benefits. If the Participant’s entire Account balance (including amounts other than Money Purchase Accounts) upon death equals $1,000 or less, it is paid in a single lump sum in cash to the Participant’s beneficiary. Payment of small benefits is made as soon as possible following the Participant’s death.

Section E5.03 Married Participants. If a Participant is married when he or she dies, the Participant’s Money Purchase Account generally will be paid to the Spouse to whom the Participant was married at the time of death in the form of a life annuity. See Section E5.05(a). However:

(a) The Spouse may choose a lump sum payment option. See Section E5.05(b).

(b) A nonspouse beneficiary (which includes a former Spouse) may be designated, but only with spousal consent. See Section E5.08.

(c) A qualified domestic relations order may require that a former Spouse be treated as the Spouse for purposes of this Article, or may otherwise provide for payment of death benefits to some other beneficiary.

Section E5.04 Nonspouse Beneficiaries. If a Participant dies with a beneficiary other than his or her Spouse, his or her Money Purchase Account will be paid in a single lump sum in cash to that beneficiary. Payment is made as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s death.

Section E5.05 Spouse Beneficiaries.

(a) Single Life Annuity. When a Participant’s beneficiary is his or her Spouse, the Money Purchase Account death benefit is generally paid in the form of a single life annuity subject to the election in (b). Under this option, a Participant’s Money Purchase Account balance is used to purchase an annuity contract from an insurance company. The contract pays the Spouse a monthly benefit for life. No payments are made after the Spouse dies.

(b) Lump Sum. A Spouse alternatively may elect to receive payment of the Money Purchase Account death benefit in a single lump sum in cash.

Section E5.06 Commencement. Payment of a Participant’s Money Purchase Account is generally made as soon as possible following the Participant’s death. But the Spouse may elect to delay commencement of benefits to a date that is no later than the date the Participant would have reached his or her Mandatory Commencement Date.

Section E5.07 Determining Marital Status and Spouse. See Section 14.03 for determinations of marital status and identification of a Participant’s Spouse.

Section E5.08 Beneficiaries.

(a) A Participant may designate a beneficiary for his or her Money Purchase Account under the rules of Article 14 as modified by subsection (b).

ARTICLE F1

In General

Section F1.01 Covered Accounts.

(a) Merged Plans. As of their respective effective dates, the plans listed in (c) are merged into this Plan or were merged into the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan prior to the Spin-Off. Effective prior to January 1, 2007, all amounts from those plans that were merged into the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan were held in their corresponding Accounts (“Merged Accounts”). Effective as of January 1, 2007, the contributions held in each separate Merged Account were merged into the Prior Plan Pre-Tax, Prior Plan After-Tax, Prior Plan IRA, and Prior Plan Company subaccounts according to the nature of the contributions held in the Merged Accounts. All amounts from plans listed in (c) that are merged into this Plan after the Spin-Off shall be held in those subaccounts identified in Section 8.01 according to the nature of the original contributions, as determined by the Committee.

(b) Non-Money Purchase Pension Plans. The Accounts listed in (c) (“Merged Accounts”) contain all amounts transferred to this Plan that were not contributed under a money purchase pension plan. Thus, the distribution rules provided in this Appendix—and not Appendix E—apply to these Accounts.

APPENDIX G

Veterans’ Reemployment Rights

Section G.01 In General. This Appendix is intended only to implement Code Section 414(u) and shall not be construed to require anything more than that statute requires.

Section G.02 Service Credit. The following rules apply to Qualified Veterans:

(a) Qualified Veterans shall not experience a break-in-service by reason of performing a period of Qualified Military Service.

(b) Qualified Military Service will be counted as vesting service.

Section G.03 Make-Up Participant Contributions. During the applicable Make-Up Period, Qualified Veterans may make additional Tax-Deferred, Roth, and/or After-Tax Contributions up to the Maximum Make-Up Amount.

(a) No earnings or losses will be credited with respect to the period before the contribution is actually made.

(b) No Forfeitures will be credited to a Qualified Veteran with respect to the period of his or her Qualifying Military Service.

Section G.04 Make-Up Company Contributions.

(a) If a Qualified Veteran elects to make additional contributions under Section G.03, he or she will be credited with additional Company Matching Contributions in the amount that would have been credited if the Section G.03 Tax Deferred, Roth and After-Tax Contributions had been made during the period of Qualified Military Service.

(b) Upon reemployment, a Qualified Veteran will be credited with Company Profit Sharing Contributions and Retirement Account Contributions in the amount that would have been credited during the period of Qualified Military Service. The Company Profit Sharing Contributions and Retirement Account Contributions shall be determined based on either: (1) the Compensation that the Qualified Veteran would have received during the period of Qualified Military Service if he or she had continued to be employed by the Employer, determined by the Committee in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations; or (2) if the amount in clause (1) is not reasonably certain, the Qualified Veteran’s Compensation from the Employer during the 12-month period (or, if shorter, his or her actual period of continuous service with the Employer) immediately preceding the start of such Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts contributed under this subsection (b) shall be limited by application of Article 6 during the year(s) to which the contributions relate and shall be reduced by any Company Profit Sharing Contributions and Retirement Account Contributions actually made on behalf of the Qualified Veteran during such period of Qualified Military Service.

Section G.05 Qualified Veteran. An individual with Qualified Military Service who is entitled to reemployment rights as described in Code Section 414(u)(5).

115

Section G.06 Qualified Military Service. Service in the uniformed services (as described in Code Section 414(u)(5)) that entitles an individual to reemployment rights as described in Code Section 414(u)(5).

Section G.07 Maximum Make-Up Amount. This amount is equal to (a) minus (b) as follows:

(a) The amount of contributions that the Qualified Veteran would have been permitted to make during the period of Qualified Military Service if the Qualified Veteran had continued to be employed in the same position by an Employer.

(1) This amount is determined by treating the Qualified Veteran as having received compensation from the Employer during the Qualified Military Service equal to:

(A) The compensation that the Qualified Veteran would have received during the period of Qualified Military Service if the Qualified Veteran had continued to be employed by the Employer, determined by the Committee in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations; or

(B) If the amount in subparagraph (A) is not reasonably certain, the Qualified Veteran’s average compensation from the Employer during the twelve month period (or, if shorter, such period of total employment) immediately preceding the start of Qualified Military Service.

(2) This amount is limited by application of Code Sections 402(g) and 415 during the year(s) to which the contributions relate (i.e., during the Qualified Military Service).

(b) The amount of any contributions actually made by the Qualified Veteran during his or her Qualified Military Service.

Section G.08 Make-Up Period. The period that,

(a) begins on the date that the Qualified Veteran is reemployed by an Employer, and

(b) ends upon the earlier of:

(1) the last day of the period that extends for three times the Qualified Veteran’s Qualifying Military Service; or

(2) the date that is five years from the date of reemployment.

116

APPENDIX H

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

ARTICLE H1

General Provisions

Section H1.01 Single Plan. The ESOP is a part of the Plan. The ESOP and the Plan constitute a single plan. References to “the Plan” mean the entire Huntington Ingalls Industries Savings Plan, including the ESOP.

Section H1.02 Application of Savings Plan Provisions. The provisions of the Plan apply to the ESOP, except as modified by the ESOP provisions. The only investment available under the ESOP is the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund (except for amounts diversified under Article H10).

Section H1.03 Form of Contributions. Any contributions made to the ESOP may be made in the form of cash or Qualifying Securities at the discretion of the Company.

Section H1.04 Vesting. Allocations to ESOP Accounts vest in the same manner as Company Matching Contributions. Qualifying Securities will be forfeited only after other assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 54.4975-11(d)(4).

Section H1.05 Forfeitures. Nonvested amounts under the ESOP are forfeited, restored, and applied to Company Matching Contributions in the same manner as nonvested amounts under the Plan generally.

Section H1.06 Section 415 Limitations. In the event the ESOP obtains a loan, the limitations of Code Section 415 (see Appendix A) will be based on contributions made to repay the loan which are allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account rather than with respect to amounts released from the Suspense Account and allocated to a Participant’s Account.

Section H1.07 Non-Allocation Rules. The ESOP is not expected to purchase Qualifying Securities in a transaction subject to Section 1042 of the Code, but if the Plan does purchase Qualifying Securities in such a transaction, it will restrict allocations in accordance with Section 409(n) of the Code. No portion of the ESOP assets attributable to (or allocable in lieu of) Employer Stock acquired by the ESOP in a Section 1042 Sale may accrue (or be allocated directly or indirectly under any plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code maintained by any Affiliated Company) (1) during the Nonallocation Period for the benefit of any Nonallocation Participant, or (2) for the benefit of a 25-percent Shareholder. For purposes of this Section H1.07, the capitalized terms set forth below have the following meanings:

(a) “Employer Stock” means employer securities (as defined in Section 409(1) of the Code) which are issued by a domestic C corporation that has no stock outstanding that is readily tradable on an established securities market, and were not received by the taxpayer in a distribution from a plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code, or a transfer pursuant to an option or other right to acquire stock to which Sections 83, 422, or 423 of the Code applied (or to which Sections 422 or 424 of the Code (as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990) applied).

117

(b) “Section 1042 Sale” means a sale of Employer Stock to the ESOP in a transaction to which Section 1042 of the Code (pertains to the nonrecognition of gain) applies.

(c) “Nonallocation Period” means the period beginning on the date of the Section 1042 Sale and ending on the later of the date that is ten years after the date of the Section 1042 Sale, or the date of the plan allocation attributable to the final payment of acquisition indebtedness incurred in connection with the Section 1042 Sale.

(d) “Nonallocation Participant” means any Participant who makes an election under Section 1042(a) of the Code with respect to Employer Stock and any Participant who is related to such Participant within the meaning of Section 267(b) of the Code. “Nonallocation Participant” does not include any Participant who is a lineal descendant of a Participant who makes an election under Section 1042 of the Code if the aggregate amount allocated for the benefit of all such lineal descendants during the Nonallocation Period does not exceed more than five percent of the Employer Stock (or amounts allocated in lieu thereof) held by the ESOP that is attributable to a Section 1042 Sale by any person related to such descendants (within the meaning of Section 267(c)(4) of the Code).

(e) “25-percent Shareholder” means a Participant who owns more than twenty-five percent of any class of outstanding stock of the Company or any Affiliated Company. “25-percent Shareholder” also means a Participant who owns more than twenty-five percent of the total value of any class of outstanding stock of the Company or any Affiliated Company. The rules of Section 318(a) of the Code, without regard to the employee trust exception in Section 318(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, are used to calculate the ownership percentage. This definition is applicable at any time during either the one-year period ending on the date of sale of such stock to the ESOP, or on the date as of which Employer Stock is allocated to Participants.

118

ARTICLE H2

Loan Requirements

Section H2.01 In General. The Board may direct that the ESOP obtain a loan to purchase Qualifying Securities or to repay a prior loan for the purchase of Qualifying Securities. Such loan must be primarily for the benefit of the Participants and their beneficiaries.

Section H2.02 Use of Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of any loan must be used within a reasonable time after their receipt only for any or all of the following purposes:

(a) To acquire Qualifying Securities.

(b) To repay the loan.

Section H2.03 Price of Securities. The Trustee shall take all appropriate and necessary measures to ensure that the Plan trust pays no more than “adequate consideration” (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(18)) for Qualifying Securities.

Section H2.04 Suspense Account. All Qualifying Securities acquired with the proceeds of a loan must be placed unallocated in the Suspense Account established by the Trustee. To the extent required for the purpose of pledging Qualifying Securities as collateral for a loan, the shares held as collateral in the Suspense Account may be physically segregated from other Trust assets.

Section H2.05 Restrictions on Securities. No security acquired with the proceeds of a loan may be subject to a put, call, or other option, or buy-sell or similar arrangement while held by and when distributed from the ESOP, whether or not the ESOP is still an ESOP at the time.

Section H2.06 Liability and Collateral. Any loan must be without recourse against the Plan.

(a) The only assets of the ESOP that may be given as collateral on a loan are Qualifying Securities that were acquired with the proceeds of the loan and those that were used as collateral on a prior loan repaid with the proceeds of the current loan.

(b) No person entitled to payment under a loan may have any right to assets of the ESOP other than:

(1) Collateral given for the loan;

(2) Contributions (other than contributions of Qualifying Securities) that are made under the ESOP to meet its obligations under the loan;

(3) Proceeds from the disposition of Qualifying Securities; and

(4) Earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such earnings and contributions and proceeds under (2) and (3).

119

Section H2.07 Release of Collateral. A loan must provide for the release of collateral in accordance with the provisions of Article H4.

Section H2.08 Payments. Payments made with respect to a loan during a Plan Year may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of:

(a) Contributions (and their earnings) made to the ESOP to meet its obligations under the loan minus such payments in prior years,

(b) Dividends (and their earnings) on Qualifying Securities held under the ESOP, and

Section H2.09 Separate Accounting. Amounts used to make loan payments under the preceding Section must be separately accounted for until the loan is repaid.

Section H2.10 Default. In the event of default on a loan, the value of Plan assets transferred in satisfaction of the loan may not exceed the amount of default. If the lender is a Disqualified Person, a loan must provide for a transfer of Plan assets upon default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of the loan.

Section H2.11 Interest Rate. The interest rate on a loan may not be in excess of a reasonable rate of interest, taking into account the amount and duration of the loan, the security and guarantee (if any) involved, the credit standing of the ESOP and the guarantor (if any), and the interest rate prevailing for comparable loans. A variable interest rate may be reasonable.

Section H2.12 Loan Term. Any loan obtained by the ESOP must be for a specific term. A loan may not be payable at the demand of any person, except in the case of default.

120

ARTICLE H3

Loan Repayments

Section H3.01 Ordering Rule. Loan repayments will generally be made from the following sources in the following order:

(a) Dividends on Qualifying Securities held in the Suspense Account.

(b) Dividends on Qualifying Securities actually allocated to Participants’ ESOP Accounts.

To the extent only a portion of categories (b) or (c) are needed, amounts in a category will be taken pro rata from each Participant’s ESOP Account based on the ratio of the Participant’s Dividends or Company Matching Contributions for the month to the total amount taken from the particular category.

Section H3.02 Special Contributions. Special Contributions may also be used to repay a loan. For purposes of the ordering rule of the preceding Section, Special Contributions will be treated as allocated Dividends or Company Matching Contributions to the extent allocated on the basis of such Dividends or Contributions respectively. To the extent that Special Contributions are allocated on the basis of Compensation, they will be used to make loan repayments only after the amounts in (a), (b), and (c) of the preceding Section.

Section H3.03 Use of Qualifying Securities. Proceeds from the sale of Qualifying Securities may be used to repay a loan. The Committee will determine in what order such proceeds will be used for loan repayments in relation to the amounts specified in Section H3.01 and Section H3.02.

121

ARTICLE H4

Suspense Account

Section H4.01 Application. The rules of this Article apply whether or not Qualifying Securities are given as collateral for any loan.

Section H4.02 Suspense Account. All Qualifying Securities acquired from the proceeds of a loan (and any proceeds from the disposition of such Qualifying Securities) are held unallocated in the Suspense Account until released from the Suspense Account in accordance with this Article.

Section H4.03 Income. Any income on Qualifying Securities and any earnings on such income held in the Suspense Account will also be retained unallocated in the Suspense Account except to the extent used to pay off an ESOP loan.

Section H4.04 Rights to Suspense Account Amounts. No Participant or beneficiary will have any right to any amounts in the Suspense Account until an amount is released from the Suspense Account and allocated to his or her ESOP Account.

Section H4.05 General Rule for Release from Suspense. Unless the special election described below is made, amounts held in the Suspense Account will be released from suspense as follows:

(a) As of the close of each calendar month during the duration of a loan, the number of Qualifying Securities released must equal the number of Qualifying Securities held immediately before release multiplied by a fraction:

(1) The numerator of the fraction is the amount of principal and interest paid for the month.

(2) The denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the principal and interest to be paid for all future months.

(b) The number of future months under the loan must be determined without taking into account any possible extension or renewal periods.

(c) If the interest rate under the loan is variable, the interest to be paid in the future must be computed by using the interest rate applicable as of the end of the month of the allocation.

(d) If collateral includes more than one class of securities, the number of securities of each class to be released for a Plan Year must be determined by applying the same fraction to each class.

Section H4.06 Special Election. The Committee may elect (at the time a loan is obtained) or the terms of a loan may provide for the release of Qualifying Securities from the Suspense Account based solely on the ratio that the payment of principal for each Plan Year bears to the total principal amount of the loan. This method may be used only if the following rules are met:

(a) The loan must provide for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payment of such amounts for 10 years.

122

(b) The interest included in any payment is disregarded only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables.

(c) This special election is not applicable from the time that, by reason of a renewal, extension, or refinancing, the sum of the expired duration of the original loan, the renewal period, the extension period, and the duration of a new exempt loan exceeds 10 years.

123

ARTICLE H5

Company Contributions

Section H5.01 Special Company Contributions. The Affiliated Companies may make special additional contributions to the ESOP not otherwise called for by the Plan.

ARTICLE H6

Dividends

Section H6.02 Allocation of Dividends. Dividends on Qualifying Securities held in the Suspense Account will be held in the Suspense Account. Dividends on Qualifying Securities already allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account will be allocated to that ESOP Account.

Section H6.03 Loan Repayments. If the ESOP has an outstanding loan, Dividends will be used to the maximum extent possible to repay the loan. Dividends will be taken first from the Suspense Account and then from Participants’ ESOP Accounts in proportion to the amount of Dividends in each ESOP Account.

Section H6.04 Excess Dividends.

(a) Cash Dividends. Cash Dividends that are not applied (or to be applied) to loan repayments under the preceding Section are subject to the election provided under Code Section 404(k)(2)(A)(iii). Each Participant will be provided, on a quarterly basis, with an option to have cash Dividends:

(1) Distributed to the Participant no later than 90 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the cash Dividends are paid to the Plan; or

(2) Paid to the Plan and reinvested in Qualifying Securities in the Participant’s Account.

If a Participant fails to make an election, the cash Dividends will be paid to the Plan and reinvested in Qualifying Securities in the Participant’s Account. Participants will be fully vested in cash Dividends with respect to which an election under this Section is offered.

(b) Stock Dividends. Stock Dividends are not applied to loan repayments and are not subject to the election in (a). Stock Dividends on Qualifying Securities already allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account will be allocated to that ESOP Account as Qualifying Securities.

Section H6.05 Conditioned on Deductibility. Distribution of Dividends under the preceding Section will be made only if the Committee can reasonably determine that the distributed Dividends will be deductible for federal income tax purposes by the Company under the provisions of the Code, including Code Section 404(k) or any successor provision.

Section H6.06 Direct Distribution of Dividends. The Company may, in its discretion, distribute Dividends directly to Participants rather than paying them to the Plan for distribution to Participants.

126

ARTICLE H7

Allocations of Suspense Account Amounts

Section H7.01 In General. Qualifying Securities and other amounts released from the Suspense Account are allocated to Participants’ Accounts under the rules of this Article.

Section H7.02 Release from Suspense Account. Amounts released from the Suspense Account are allocated as of the close of each month in the following order (until all amounts available for allocation are used up):

(a) First, to the extent Dividends on Qualifying Securities allocated to a Participant’s ESOP Account (which includes a beneficiary’s ESOP Account) are used to make a loan payment, Qualifying Securities with a fair market value equal to the greater of the following two amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account:

(1) The amount of the dividend that would have been allocated to the Participant’s Account but for the loan payment.

(2) The amount determined by multiplying the total amount released from suspense for the month by the ratio of the amount determined in (1) to the total loan payment for the month.

(b) Second, to the extent Company Matching Contributions on behalf of a Participant are used to make a loan payment, the greater of the following two amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account:

(1) The amount of the Company Matching Contribution that would have been allocated to the Participant’s Account but for the loan payment.

(2) The amount determined by multiplying the total amount released from suspense for the month by the ratio of the amount determined in (1) to the total loan payment for the month.

(1) This amount will be determined by multiplying the total amount released from suspense for the month by the ratio of the unallocated Dividends used to make a loan payment for the month to the total loan payment for the month. If this is greater than the amount which remains to be allocated after (a) and (b), then such lesser amount will be allocated under this subsection (c).

(2) The amount determined in (1) will be allocated to Participants based on the ratio of the Company Matching Contributions allocated to their ESOP Accounts for the month to the total Company Matching Contributions allocated to ESOP Accounts for the month.

127

(d) Fourth, if any amounts remain, they will be allocated in proportion to Compensation for the Plan Year to the ESOP Accounts of all Participants who have a contribution made to the ESOP for the month or to Participants who are Eligible Employees as of the last day of the month, depending on which group received an allocation of Special Contributions for the month (see Section H5.02).

Section H7.03 Allocation of Amounts Attributable to Special Contributions. Special Contributions will be treated as Dividends under (a) of the preceding Section or Company Matching Contributions under (b) of the preceding Section if they are allocated on the basis of such Dividends or Company Matching Contributions respectively.

Section H7.04 Release of Collateral. Amounts released from the Suspense Account will not necessarily correspond to the amount of collateral released each year. The amount of collateral released will depend on the terms of a loan and whether securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan increase or decrease in value.

Section H7.05 Section 415 Limits. Amounts released from the Suspense Account during a year and allocated to Participants’ ESOP Accounts are not counted as “annual additions” for purposes of Code Section 415 (see Appendix A).

ARTICLE H8

Voting Rights and Tender Offers

Section H8.01 In General. Qualifying Securities may be subject to an offer to purchase or otherwise acquire from time to time. In addition, Qualifying Securities may carry the right to vote on particular (or all) issues subject to a vote by shareholders of the Company and such votes may be subject to proxy solicitations. This Article sets forth provisions governing responses to such offers for and such voting of Qualifying Securities held under the Trust Agreement and for responses to proxy solicitations. The provisions of this Article, and the corresponding provisions in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust are to be construed identically.

Section H8.02 Voting of Qualifying Securities. Shares of Qualifying Securities shall be voted by the Trustee only in accordance with directions from Participants as provided below:

(a) Participants Entitled to Vote. Participants entitled to instruct the Trustee with regard to voting shall be those Participants, including beneficiaries, (the “Eligible Voting Participants”) who retain credit under an ESOP Account. The list of Eligible Voting Participants will be fixed by the Committee as of the Determination Date for purposes of this Section, which shall be the last day of the month next preceding the record date established by the Board for the matter or matters to be voted on. However, if such Determination Date is less than twenty-five days prior to such record date, the applicable Determination Date shall be the last day of the second preceding month. Eligible Voting Participants shall be named fiduciaries (under ERISA Section 403(a)(1)) for purposes of directing the Trustee under this Section.

(b) Allocation of Shares. The number of shares initially allocated to an Eligible Voting Participant for purposes of voting will be the number (calculated to five decimal places) obtained by (1) dividing the number of shares of Qualifying Securities held in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund (as defined in the Plan’s Trust Agreement) of the Plan as of the close of business on the applicable Determination Date by the number of units in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund credited to the accounts of all Eligible Voting Participants as of such Determination Date, and (2) multiplying the quotient so obtained by the number of units in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund credited to the account of such Eligible Voting Participant as of the close of business on such Determination Date.

(c) Notification of Participants. In connection with the solicitation of proxies, the Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall notify all Eligible Voting Participants of their rights with respect to voting and:

(1) shall furnish to the Eligible Voting Participants all soliciting and other materials furnished to the Company’s shareholders generally concerning the matter or matters to be voted on;

(2) shall solicit for the Trustee voting instructions from the Eligible Voting Participants concerning such matter or matters;

129

(3) shall state in the notice the date as of which instructions must be received by the Company from Eligible Voting Participants in order to be considered timely;

(4) shall notify each Eligible Voting Participant in writing of the number of shares of Qualifying Securities as to which such Eligible Voting Participant is entitled to give voting instructions to the Trustee under Section H8.02(b); and

(5) shall state in such notice that the Eligible Voting Participant’s instructions shall also apply to his or her portion of the undirected shares (described below).

(d) Voting of Shares. Each Eligible Voting Participant is entitled to direct the Trustee with respect to the voting of the shares allocated to such Eligible Voting Participant under Section H8.02(b) as well as the Eligible Voting Participant’s portion of undirected shares. The Trustee shall follow timely and proper instructions received from Eligible Voting Participants.

(1) The portion of undirected shares allocable to each Eligible Voting Participant from whom timely and proper directions are received shall be equal to the total number of undirected shares multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall be the number of shares allocated to the Eligible Voting Participant under Section H8.02(b) and the denominator of the fraction will be the total number of shares allocated under Section H8.02(b) to Eligible Voting Participants from whom timely and proper instructions are received.

(2) The total number of undirected shares shall be the sum of all shares for which timely and proper instructions are not received, shares credited to the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund after the applicable Determination Date but on or before the record date for the vote in question, less undirected shares sold or otherwise disposed of by the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund after the applicable Determination Date but on or before such record date, and shares held in a suspense account and not allocated to Participants’ accounts as of the Determination Date.

(e) Action by Trustee. As soon as practicable prior to the annual meeting or other meeting or voting deadline for which proxies have been solicited, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company a proxy or proxies which accord with the rules of Section H8.02(b).

Section H8.03 Tender Offers, Etc. In the event any offer is made to shareholders generally by any person, corporation, or other entity (the “Offeror”) to purchase or otherwise acquire any or all of the Company’s Qualifying Securities, including Qualifying Securities then held in the

130

Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund (an “Offer”), such Qualifying Securities shall be tendered for sale or exchange by the Trustee only in accordance with directions from Participants as provided below:

(a) Participants Entitled to Direct Trustee. Participants entitled to instruct the Trustee with regard to an Offer shall be those Participants, including beneficiaries, (the “Eligible Tender Offer Participants”) who retain credit under an ESOP Account. The list of Eligible Tender Offer Participants will be fixed as of the Determination Date for purposes of this Section, which shall be the last day of the month next preceding the date on which copies of the offer or invitation for tenders are first published or sent or given to the Company’s shareholders. However, if such Determination Date is less than twenty-five days prior to such date on which copies of the offer or invitation for tenders are first so published or sent or given, the applicable Determination Date shall be the last day of the second preceding month. Eligible Tender Offer Participants shall be named fiduciaries (under ERISA Section 403(a)(1)) for purposes of directing the Trustee under this Section.

(b) Allocation of Shares. The number of shares initially allocated to an Eligible Tender Offer Participant for purposes of directing a response to an Offer will be the number (calculated to 5 decimal places) obtained by (1) dividing the number of shares of Qualifying Securities held in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund of the Plan as of the close of business on the applicable Determination Date by the number of units in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund credited to the accounts of all Eligible Tender Offer Participants as of such Determination Date, and (2) multiplying the quotient so obtained by the number of units in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund credited to the account of such Eligible Tender Offer Participant as of the close of business on such Determination Date.

(c) Notification of Participants. In connection with the solicitation of instructions, the Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall notify all Eligible Tender Offer Participants of their rights with respect to directing the disposition of shares under this Section H8.03 and:

(1) shall furnish to the Eligible Tender Offer Participants all materials and written information furnished to the Company’s shareholders generally by the Offeror and by the Company in connection with the Offer;

(2) shall solicit for the Trustee instructions from the Eligible Tender Offer Participants concerning the Offer;

(3) shall state in the notice the date as of which instructions must be received by the Company from Eligible Tender Offer Participants in order to be considered timely;

(4) shall notify each Eligible Tender Offer Participant in writing of the number of shares of Qualifying Securities as to which such Eligible Tender Offer Participant is entitled to give instructions to the Trustee under Section H8.03(b); and

(5) shall state in such notice that the Eligible Tender Offer Participant’s instructions shall also apply to his or her portion of the undirected shares (described below).

131

(d) Direction of Shares. Each Eligible Tender Offer Participant is entitled to give the Trustee instructions that are consistent as to all (but not less than all) of the shares allocated to such Eligible Tender Offer Participant under Section H8.03(b) as well as the Eligible Tender Offer Participant’s portion of undirected shares. For instance, the Eligible Tender Offer Participant may direct the Trustee to tender all such shares, or not to tender all such shares. The Trustee shall follow timely and proper instructions received from Eligible Tender Offer Participants.

(1) The portion of undirected shares allocable to each Eligible Tender Offer Participant from whom timely and proper directions are received shall be equal to the total number of undirected shares multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall be the number of shares allocated to the Eligible Tender Offer Participant under Section H8.03(b) and the denominator of the fraction will be the total number of shares allocated under Section H8.03(b) to Eligible Tender Offer Participants from whom timely and proper instructions are received.

(2) The total number of undirected shares shall be the sum of all shares for which timely and proper instructions are not received, shares credited to the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund after the applicable Determination Date but on or before the record date for the vote in question, less shares sold or otherwise disposed of by the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund after the applicable Determination Date but on or before such record date, and shares held in the Suspense Account and not allocated to Participants’ ESOP Accounts as of the Determination Date.

(3) The Trustee will tender undirected shares proportionately from all Participants’ Accounts (as well as the Suspense Account) that contain undirected shares. For example, if the Trustee receives directions that are, in the aggregate, 25% in favor of tendering and 75% against tendering, it will tender one share from an account with four undirected shares.

(e) Withdrawals of Shares. In the event, under the terms of an Offer or otherwise, any shares of Qualifying Securities tendered for sale or exchange pursuant to such Offer may be withdrawn from such Offer, the Trustee will follow timely and proper instructions from Eligible Tender Offer Participants respecting the withdrawal of shares from the Offer in the same manner as instructions under Section H8.03(d).

(f) Multiple Offers. If more than one Offer is made covering overlapping time periods for Qualifying Securities in the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund, the Trustee will follow the rules of this Section H8.03 with respect to all such Offers. This may require (1) more than one notification to Eligible Tender Offer Participants under Section H8.03(c); (2) soliciting instructions from Eligible Tender Offer Participants as to whether they wish to withdraw shares from one Offer and tender them for sale or exchange under another Offer; and (3) soliciting instructions from Eligible Tender Offer Participants who have rejected one Offer to see whether they wish to direct the tender of shares for sale or exchange under another Offer.

132

(g) Allocation of Shares Accepted by Offeror. In the event that the Offeror takes up and pays for fewer than all of the shares tendered for sale or exchange by the Trustee on behalf of Eligible Tender Offer Participants, then the Trustee shall, to the extent necessary, reduce the number of shares proffered from each account proportionately. The Trustee shall use a random method to the extent necessary to allocate any residual fractional shares between accounts.

(h) Treatment of Proceeds. In the event that shares are tendered for sale or exchange on behalf of an Eligible Tender Offer Participant pursuant to this Section, the proceeds (cash or otherwise) received upon the acceptance of such tender or exchange by the Offeror shall be credited to the Company Matching Contributions portion of the Account of such Eligible Tender Offer Participant. The cash proceeds so credited shall purchase units and fractions of units in the Plan’s funds other than the Huntington Ingalls Industries Stock Fund (as defined in the Plan), in accordance with the allocation then in effect for such Eligible Tender Offer Participant’s own contributions. The non-cash proceeds (if any) so credited shall be held by the Trustee pending further instructions from the Investment Committee.

In the event that a Participant returns to employment with the Northrop Grumman Group as a Delayed Transfer Employee, the Company shall cause the Plan to transfer to the applicable Northrop Grumman Group employee benefit plan the accounts, liabilities, and related assets in the Plan attributable to such Participant (and his or her alternate payees, if any) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of rehire by the Northrop Grumman Group. The transfer of assets shall be in cash and include outstanding loan balances and forfeitures and be conducted in accordance with Code Section 414(l) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(1)-1, and ERISA Section 208.
