(a)Aggregation, Disaggregation and Restructuring. The rules of this section shall be administeredsoastocomplywiththemandatorydisaggregationrequirementsofTreasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-7(c) and, if the Administrative Committee chooses, the permissive aggregation rules ofTreasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-7(d), provided that anyaggregatedplansshallusethesametestingmethodunderTreasuryRegulationssection 1.401(k)-2(a)(2)(ii) (i.e., current year or prior year testing method) as is used by the Plan forthePlanYear.Notwithstandingtheforegoing,effectiveJanuary1,2004,themandatory disaggregation rules relating to the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan shall not apply.

(1)To the extent required by the mandatory disaggregation rules, Represented EmployeesandNonrepresentedEmployeesshallbetreatedascomprisingseparate plans for purposes of applying the ADP Test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may treat two or more separate collective bargaining units as a single collective bargaining unit for purposes of applying the ADP Test, providedthatthecombinationsofunitsaredeterminedonabasisthatisreasonable and reasonably consistent from Plan Year to Plan Year.

(2)If,afterapplicationofthemandatorydisaggregationrules,thisPlanispermissively aggregated with one or more other plans that include qualified cash or deferred arrangements for purposes of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then the cash or deferred arrangements of this Plan and such other plans shall be treated as one arrangement for purposes of this Plan section.

(3)In determining whether the restrictions of this Plan section are met, the AdministrativeCommitteemayexcludefromtheADPTestallEligibleEmployees who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A), if the Administrative Committee elects to apply Code section 410(b)(4)(B). Alternatively, the Administrative Committee may apply the ADP Test separately to all Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A).

38


(b)ADPTest.TheActualDeferralPercentageforthePlanYearofParticipantswhoareHighly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of:

(1)The product of 1.25 and the Actual Deferral Percentage for the current Plan Year for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year; or

(2)Thelesserof:

(B)The Actual Deferral Percentage for the current Plan Year for the Eligible Employees who arenot Highly Compensated Employees for thecurrent Plan Year plus two percentage points.

By an amendment to the Plan, the Administrative Committee may elect to apply paragraphs (1)and(2)byusingtheActual Deferral Percentage of Employees who arenotHighlyCompensatedEmployeesforthepriorPlanYearonlyifthecurrent yeartestingmethodhas beenusedfor atleast the last fivePlanYears. IfthePlanis aggregated with any other Qualified Plan, the Actual Deferral Percentage of EmployeeswhoarenotHighlyCompensatedEmployeesforthepriorPlanYearmay be used only if the Plan is amended to so provide and each Qualified Plan that is aggregatedwiththisPlanusedthecurrentyearmethodforatleastthelastfiveyears (or, if shorter, the period that such other Qualified Plan was in existence, including years in which the Qualified Plan was a portion of another Qualified Plan).

6.3 CorrectiveMeasuresifADPTestFailed

If, at the end of the Plan Year, the Administrative Committee determines that the Actual Deferral PercentageofHighly Compensated Employees exceeds themaximum permitted forthePlan Year under the ADP Test, then the Administrative Committee shall take the corrective steps described inthis Plan section so that therequirements of Plan section 6.2 aremet for the Plan Year. Pre-Tax Deferrals and Roth Contributions, along with any other elective deferrals made to other qualified cash or deferred arrangements that are included in the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Highly

39


Compensated Employee, exceeding the ADP Test limits are referred to as Excess Contributions.

(a)CorrectionMethods.TotheextentpermittedunderTreasuryRegulations

section 1.401(k)-2(b)(3) and this Plan section, the Administrative Committee shall first recharacterize Excess Contributions, along with allocable investment gains and losses, as Adjustment Contributions. To the extent Excess Contributions remain for the Plan Year, the Administrative Committee shall next distribute the Excess Contributions, along with allocable investment gains and losses, pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2) and this Plan section. Regardless of whether recharacterized or distributed, all corrections of Excess Contributions shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.401(k)-2(b)(4) and this Plan section.

(b)Determining Total Excess Contributions. The amount of Excess Contributions attributable to each Highly Compensated Employees is the amount by which Pre-Tax Deferrals and Roth Contributions, along with any other elective deferrals made to other qualifiedcashordeferredarrangementsthatareincludedintheActualDeferralPercentage of a Highly Compensated Employee, must be reduced so that the Actual Deferral PercentageforthatHighlyCompensatedEmployeeisreducedtothemaximumpermissible Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees. The maximum permissibleActualDeferralPercentageforHighlyCompensatedEmployeesisdetermined by reducing the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with thehighestActualDeferralPercentageforthePlanYeartotheActualDeferralPercentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Percentage.

IfalesserreductionwouldenabletheADPTesttobesatisfied,onlythelesserreductionis usedtodeterminethemaximumpermissibleActualDeferralPercentage.Thisprocedureis repeated until the ADP Test would be satisfied. The total amount of Excess Contributions to be corrected is equal to the sum of the dollar amounts computed under this subsection for each Highly Compensated Employee and is to be referred to as the Total Excess Contributions.

(c)Apportionment of Total Excess Contributions. Total Excess Contributions for the Plan Year shall be apportioned among Highly Compensated Employees as provided in this subsection.

(1)Pre-TaxDeferrals and/or RothContributionsallocatedtotheHighlyCompensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Deferrals and/or Roth Contributions taken into account under the ADP Test for the Plan Year, including any other elective deferrals made to other qualified cash or deferred arrangements that are included in the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Highly Compensated Employee, shall be reduced by the amount required to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s remaining amount of Pre-Tax Deferrals and/or Roth

40


Contributions for the Plan Year to be equal to the dollar amount of Pre-Tax Deferrals and/or Roth Contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. This amount shall be allocated as the Excess Contribution for the Highly Compensated Employee, unless a smaller reduction, whenaddedtothetotaldollaramountalreadyallocatedasExcessContributionsfor other Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to this procedure equals the Total Excess Contributions for the Plan Year. Excess Contributions shall be treated as consistingfirstofanyPre-TaxDeferralsmadebytheParticipantforsuchPlanYear, as applicable, and second any Roth Contributions which the Participant made for the Plan Year, as applicable, except as otherwise elected by the Participant.

(a)Aggregation, Disaggregation and Restructuring. The rules of this section shall be administeredsoastocomplywiththemandatorydisaggregationrequirementsofTreasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-7(c) and, if the Administrative Committee chooses, the permissiveaggregationrulesofTreasuryRegulationssection1.410(b)-7(d),providedthatany aggregated plans shall use

43


the same testing method under Treasury Regulations section 1.401(k)-2(a)(2)(ii) (i.e., current year or prior year testing method) as is used by the Plan forthePlanYear.Notwithstandingtheforegoing,effectiveJanuary1,2004,themandatory disaggregation rules relating to the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan shall not apply.

(1)If, after application of the mandatory disaggregation rules, in the preceding paragraph, this Plan is permissively aggregated with one or more other plans that include matching or after-tax contributions subject to contribution testing under Code section 401(m) for purposes of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then this Plan and such other plans shall be treated as one arrangement for purposes of this Plan section.

(2)In determining whether the restrictions of this Plan section are met, the AdministrativeCommitteemay excludefromtheACP Testall Eligible

EmployeeswhoarenotHighlyCompensatedEmployeesandwhohavenotmetthe minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A), if the AdministrativeCommitteeelectstoapplyCodesection410(b)(4)(B).Alternatively, the Administrative Committee may apply the ACP Test separately to all Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of Code section 410(a)(1)(A).

(b)ACPTest.TheAverageContributionPercentageforthePlanYearofParticipantswhoare Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of:

(1)The product of 1.25 and the Average Contribution Percentage for the current Plan Year for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year; or

(2)Thelesserof:

(A)The product of two and the Average Contribution Percentage for the current Plan Year for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year, or

(B)TheAverageContributionPercentageforthecurrentPlanYearfortheEligible Employees who arenot Highly Compensated Employees for thecurrent Plan Year plus two percentage points.

By an amendment to the Plan, the Administrative Committee may elect to apply paragraphs(1)and(2)byusingtheAverageContributionPercentageofEmployees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year rather than the current Plan Year except that such election may not be changed unless permitted by the Internal Revenue Service.

44


(c)The restrictions of this section shall be based on the Participant’s actual Testing Compensation while an Active Participant and total Matching Contributions, After-Tax ContributionsandAdjustmentContributionsallocatedtotheParticipant’s Accountforthe Plan Year. The Administrative Committee is authorized to restrict the After-Tax ContributionsofHighlyCompensatedEmployeesinauniformmannerifitdetermines, based on advance testing done during the Plan Year, that such restriction is necessary or appropriate to assure final Plan Year compliance with restrictions of this section.

6.5 CorrectiveMeasuresifACPTestFailed

If, at the end of the Plan Year, the Administrative Committee determines that the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the maximum permitted for the Plan Year under the ACP Test, then the Administrative Committee shall take the corrective stepsdescribedinthisPlansectionsothattherequirementsofPlansection6.4aremetforthePlan Year.MatchingContributions,After-TaxContributions,andAdjustmentContributions,alongwith anyothermatchingcontributionsandafter-taxcontributions(includinganyrecharacterizedelective deferrals)madetootherQualifiedPlansthatareincludedtheActualDeferralPercentageofaHighly Compensated Employee, exceeding the ACP Test limits are referred to as Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a)Correction Method. The Administrative Committee shall distribute or forfeit Excess Aggregate Contributions, along with allocable investment gains and losses, pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2) and this Plan section.

(b)Determining Total Excess Aggregate Contributions. The amount of Excess Aggregate ContributionsattributabletoeachHighlyCompensatedEmployeeistheamountbywhich Matching Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and Adjustment Contributions, along with any other matching contributions and after-tax contributions (including any recharacterized elective deferrals) made to other Qualified Plans that are included the AverageContributionPercentageofaHighlyCompensatedEmployee,mustbereducedso that the Average Contribution Percentage for that Highly Compensated Employee is reduced to the maximum permissible Average Contribution Percentage for Highly CompensatedEmployees.ThemaximumpermissibleAverageContributionPercentagefor Highly Compensated Employees is determined by reducing the Average Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Average Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year to the Average Contribution Percentage for the Highly CompensatedEmployeewiththenexthighestAverageContributionPercentage.Ifalesser reduction would enable the ACP Test to be satisfied, only the lesser reduction is used to determine the maximum permissible Average Contribution Percentage. This procedure is repeated until the ACP Test would be satisfied. The total amount of Excess Aggregate Contributionstobecorrectedisequaltothesumofthedollaramounts

(2)If a Highly Compensated Employee’s Excess Aggregate Contributions include matching contributions and after-tax contributions (including any recharacterized elective deferrals) made to other Qualified Plans that are included the Average Contribution Percentage of a Highly Compensated Employee, then the Excess Aggregate Contribution of that to the Highly Compensated Employee shall not exceed the Matching Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and Adjustment Contributions made under this Plan for the Plan Year.

7.6 RequiredMinimumDistributions

The requirements of this Section 7.6 shall apply to any distribution of a Participant's interest and will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. All distributions required under this Section 7.6 shall be determined and made in accordance with the regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code.

(a)Form of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s Account is distributed in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions will be made in accordance with subsections (b)-(d). All required minimumdistributionswillbemadeincash,andtherewillbenorequirementtoissueany shares of Oxy Stock.

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

(1)the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9(c) of the regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or

(2)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 set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9(d) of the regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

Required minimum distributions will be determined under this section 7.6(b) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and continuing up to, and including, the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(c)Death After Date Distributions Begin.

(1)If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin, distributions to the Participant’s Beneficiary will begin not later than December 31 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, and the Participant’s remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the distribution method used by the Participant as of the date of the Participant’s death.

63


(2)Where 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 applicable distribution period is measured by the surviving spouse’s Life Expectancy using the surviving spouse’s birthday for each Distribution Calendar Year after the calendar year of the Participant’s death. The surviving spouse’s remaining Life Expectancy is redetermined each Distribution Calendar Year using the surviving spouse’s age as of the surviving spouse’s birthday in that Distribution Calendar 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 and there is an Eligible Designated Beneficiary, the Eligible Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Eligible Designated Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(3)If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and there is no Eligible Designated Beneficiary, the entire interest must be distributed by the end of the calendar year that includes the tenth anniversary of the date of the Participant’s death. However, for the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years, distributions are not required.

(4)If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s remaining Account will be paid in a single sum to the Participant’s estate no later than the Distribution Calendar Year after the Participant’s death.

64


(5)IftheParticipantdies onorafterthedatedistributionsbeginandthereismorethanoneDesignated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s remaining Account shall be paid in a single sum as required by Plan section 7.5.

(d)Participant’s Death Before Distributions Begin

(1)If the Participant dies before the date distribution begins and the surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary, distribution must 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 the Applicable Age, if later.

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 7.6(d), this section will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(2)If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is an Eligible Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is determined initially using the beneficiary’s age as of his birthday in the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death. For subsequent calendar years, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is determined by reducing that initial Life Expectancy by one for each calendar year that has elapsed after the first calendar year.

If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and is survived by an Eligible Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Eligible Designated Beneficiary dies or reaches the age of majority before distributions are required to begin to the Eligible Designated Beneficiary under section 7.6(d)(2), distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the tenth anniversary of the Eligible Designated Beneficiary’s death.

(3)If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary who is not an Eligible Designated Beneficiary, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest must be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the tenth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

65


(4)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.

The Administrative Committee may use forfeitures occurring in any processing period to pay the reasonable costs of administering the Plan to the maximum extent permitted by ERISA or to reduce Matching Contributions of all Employers without regard to whether the forfeitures are attributable to persons employed by any individual Employer for such processing period or future processing periods. If the amount of allocable forfeitures occurring in a processing period exceeds the amount of Employer contributions for such processing period, then the excess shall be deposited in a separate account. Effective December 1, 2016, or as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event later than December 31, 2016, such amounts will be deposited into a separate “Forfeiture Account,” invested in the Stable Value Fund or such other Investment Fund as determined within the discretion of the Administrative Committee, and such amounts will be considered Plan assets and allocated in lieu of Employer contributions in succeeding pay periods, used to pay the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan or allocated among Participants as additional contributions. If the Plan terminates while a balance in the Forfeiture Account exists, the balance shall be allocated to Participants per capita to the extent of the maximum amount permitted under Plan section 6.6. Forfeitures shall be used before the end of the Plan Year in which the forfeitures occurred to the extent administratively feasible. Effective on and after January 1, 2025, any amounts allocated to the Forfeiture Account shall be used in lieu of Employer contributions, and, if any amounts in the Forfeiture Account remain outstanding after the full required Employer contribution is made under Article 5 for a Plan Year for each eligible Participant, the Administrative Committee shall use any remaining forfeitures
