The Administrative Services Provider for purposes of ordering any subsequent distribution from this Plan may designate a distribution from a Participant's Rollover Contributions Account as coming first from either of (1) or (2) above if the Participant has both types of Rollover Contributions Accounts.

1. DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS DEFERRALS. In the event that a Participant has Excess Deferrals, the Plan will distribute to the Participant the Excess Deferrals and allocable net income, gain or loss, in accordance with this Section 3.09 and Section 3A.04, as applicable.

The Administrative Services Provider will distribute Excess Deferrals from the Plan as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Administrative Services Provider's or Employer's determination of the amount of the Excess Deferral.

1. Plan Aggregation. If the Employer maintains more than one Eligible 457 Plan, the Employer must aggregate all such Plans in determining whether any Participant has Excess Deferrals.
2. Individual Limitation, if a Participant participates in another Eligible 457 Plan maintained by a different employer, and the Participant has Excess Deferrals, the Administrative Services Provider may, but is not required to, correct the Excess Deferrals by making a corrective distribution from this Plan.
   1. DOLLAR LIMITS. The table below shows the applicable dollar amounts described in Section 3.03(a) and limitations on age 50 catch-up contributions described in Section 3.05 through the 2006 calendar year. These amounts are adjusted after 2006 for changes in the cost-of-living to the extent permitted in Code §415(d).

Year	Applicable Dollar Amount	Age 50+ Catch-up Contribution Limitation
2002	$11,000	$1,000
2003	$12,000	$2,000
2004	$13,000	$3,000
2005	$14,000	$4,000
2006	$15,000	$5,000

ARTICLE IIIA DESIGNATED ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS

3A.0I      DESIGNATED ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS PERMITTED. Subject to the conditions and

limitations of the Plan, an eligible Public Employee may elect that, in lieu of all or a portion of the Salary Reduction Contributions the employee is eligible to make to the Plan for an applicable period, the employee shall make Designated Roth Contributions. Designated Roth Contributions shall be treated in the same manner as Deferral Contributions for all Plan purposes except as provided otherwise in this Plan. The Employer may, in operation, implement (or cause the Administrative Services Provider to implement) administrative rules, including deferral election procedures, with respect to Designated Roth Contributions, provided such rules and procedures are communicated to Participants and permit Participants to modify their elections at least once each Plan Year.

3A.02 UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY. If the Plan permits distributions of Salary Reduction Contributions on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, Designated Roth Contributions may be withdrawn on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency subject to the same qualifications that apply to Salary Reduction Contributions.

3A.03 DISTRIBUTION RULE. Withdrawals (including, but not limited to, withdrawals on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency) from a Participant's Accounts may be directed by the Participant from either Salary

8

i I

City of Chicago Deferred Compensotion Plan (As Amended and Restated effective |*|, 2014)

Reduction Contributions, Designated Roth Contributions or pro rata from Salary Reduction Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions.

3A.04      CORRECTIVE DISTRIBUTION RULE. For any calendar year in which a Participant may make

both Designated Roth Contributions and Salary Reduction Contributions and for which a corrective distribution is made to the Participant, the corrective distribution from the Participant's Accounts will be taken pro rata from a Participant's Salary Reduction Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions made during such calendar year, or the Participant may elect which type of Deferral Contributions shall be distributed first.

3A.05 LOANS. If Participant loans are permitted under the Plan, for any loans made after the date as of which Participants may make Designated Roth Contributions to the Plan the loan policy or program shall permit Participants to use as security a Participant's Designated Roth Contribution Account; provided, however, that loans may not be funded from the Participant's Designated Roth Contribution account.

3A.06 ROLLOVERS. A direct rollover of a distribution from Designated Roth Contributions shall only be made to a plan which includes Designated Roth Contributions as described in Code Section 402A(e)(l) or to a Roth IRA as described in Code Section 408A, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c).

1. The Plan may accept a rollover contribution of Designated Roth Contributions only if it is a direct rollover from another plan which permits Designated Roth Contributions as described in Code Section 402A(e)(l) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c). The Deferred Compensation Plan Committee, operationally and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, may decide whether to accept any such rollovers.
2. The Plan shall not provide for a direct rollover (including an automatic rollover) for distributions from a Participant's Designated Roth Contribution Account if the amount of the distributions that are eligible rollover distributions are reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. In addition, any distribution from a Participant's Designated Roth Contributions are not taken into account in determining whether distributions from a Participant's other accounts are reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. Furthermore, the Plan will treat a Participant's Designated Roth Contribution Account and the Participant's other Accounts as held under two separate plans for purposes of applying the automatic rollover rules. However, eligible rollover distributions of a Participant's Designated Roth Contributions are taken into account in determining whether the total amount of the Participant's account balances under the Plan exceed the Plan's limits for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan.

ARTICLE IV TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

4.01 DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS. Except as the Plan provides otherwise, the Administrative Services Provider may not distribute to a Participant his/her Account prior to the Participant's Severance from Employment, the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70'/i years, or such other event for which federal legislation is enacted or regulatory relief granted permitting the Plan to make distributions to qualifying Participants.

(A) Distribution of Rollover Contributions. A Participant may receive a distribution of such Rollover Contributions without regard to the restrictions found in this Section 4.01.

4.02 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT. The Administrative Services Provider will distribute to a Participant who has incurred a Severance from Employment the Participant's Account under one or any combination of payment methods elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect one of the following methods of payment: (I) lump sum payment, (2) partial lump sum payment, (3) installment, or (4) an annuity. In no event will the Administrative Services Provider direct distribution, nor will the Participant elect to have distribution commence, later than the Participant's required beginning date, or under a method that does not satisfy Section 4.03.

Subject to any restriciions imposed by the Participant's investment providers and the Administrative Services Provider, the Participant: (I) may elect to commence distribution no earlier than is administratively practical following Severance from Employment; (2) may elect to postpone distribution of his/her Account to any fixed or determinable date including, but not beyond, the Participant's required beginning date; and (3) may elect the method of payment. A Participant may elect the timing and method of payment of his/her Account no later than 30 days

9

before the date the Participant first would be eligible to commence payment of the Participant's Account. The Administrative Services Provider must furnish to the Participant a form for the Participant to elect the time and a method of payment.

4.03 REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. The Administrative Services Provider may not distribute the Participant's Account, nor may the Participant elect any distribution of his/her Account, under a method of payment which, as of the required beginning date, does not satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Code §401(a)(9) or which is not consistent with applicable Treasury regulations.

1. General Rules.

1. 1. Precedence. The requirements of this Section 4.03 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.
   2. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 4.03 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code §401(a)(9).
2. Time and Manner of Distribution

1. Required Beginning Date. The Participant's entire interest in the Plan will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's required beginning date.
2. Death of Participant Before Distribution Begins. 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:

1. Spouse Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant dies, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70'/a years, if later.
2. Non-Spouse Designated Beneficiary. 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.
3. No Designated Beneficiary. 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 in the Plan will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
4. Death of Spouse. 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 4.03(B)(2), other than Section 4.03(B)(2)(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 4.03(B) and Section 4.03(D), unless Section 4.03(B)(2)(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning date. If Section 4.03(B)(2)(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 4.03(B)(2)(a). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required lo begin to the surviving spouse under Section 4.03(B)(2Xa)), the date distributions arc considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

1. 1. Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or 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 Sections 4.03(C) and 4.03(D). If the Participant's interest in the Plan is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.01(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.
2. Required Minimum Distributions during Participant's Lifetime.

(I) 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-

10

City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective |»|, 2014)

1. ULT. The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the number in the Uniform Life Table set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's attained age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or
2. Younger Spouse. 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 Treas. Reg. §1.401(aX9}-9, using the Participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

(2) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant's Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 4.03(C) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant's date of death.

1. Required Minimum Distributions after Participant's Death.

1. Death On or After Distributions Begin.

1. 1. 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 the distribution calendar year of the Participant's death is obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant. The Participant's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the attained age of the Participant as of the Participant's birthday in the calendar year of death. For each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant's designated Beneficiary.
   2. 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 calendar year after the calendar year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the calendar 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 attained age of the Participant as of the Participant's birthday in the calendar year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
2. Death before Date Distributions Begin.

1. 1. 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 4.03(D)(1).
   2. 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 in the Plan will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
   3. Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the dale 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 4.03(B)(2)(a). this Section 4.03(DX2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
2. Definitions

1. Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9) and Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-1. Q&A-4.
2. Distribution calendar year. A distribution calendar year means 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 ye;ir immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant's required beginning date For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which the distributions arc required to begin under Section 4.03(B)(2). The required minimum distribution for the

11

Participant's first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant's required beginning 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 required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

1. Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-

1. 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 Rollover Contributions or Transfers to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.
2. Required beginning date. A Participant's required beginning date is the April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (I) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 7014 years, or (2) the calendar year in which the Participant retires or such other date under Code § 401(a)(9) by which required minimum distributions must commence.

(F) General 2009 waiver. The requirements of Code §401(a)(9) and the provisions of the Plan relating thereto, will not apply for the distribution calendar year 2009.

1. Special rule regarding waiver period. For purposes of Code §401(a)(9) and the provisions of the Plan relating thereto: (a) the required beginning date with respect to any individual will be determined without regard to this Article IV for purposes of applying Code §401 (a)(9) for distribution calendar years other than 2009; and (b) if the 5-year rule of Code §40l(a)(9)(B)(ii) applies, the 5-year period described therein shall be determined without regard to calendar year 2009.
2. Eligible rollover distributions. If all or any portion of a distribution during 2009 is treated as an eligible rollover distribution but would not be so treated if the minimum distribution requirements under Code §401(a)(9) had applied during 2009, then the Plan will not treat such distribution as an eligible rollover distribution for purposes of the direct rollover rules of Code §401(aX31), the notice requirements of Code §402(0, or the 20% withholding requirement of Code §3405(c).
3. Participant may elect. The Plan will permit an affected Participant to elect whether to receive his/her required minimum distribution for 2009. If the Participant fails to notify the Administrative Services Provider of his/her waiver, the Plan will distribute the 2009 required minimum distribution to the Participant.

1. DEATH BENEFITS. Upon the death of the Participant, the Administrative Services Provider must pay the Participant's Account in accordance with Section 4.03. Subject to Section 4.03, a Beneficiary may elect the timing and method of payment in the same manner as a Participant may elect under Section 4.02. if such elections apply.

In the case of a death occurring on or after January 1, 2007, if a Participant dies while performing Qualified Military Service (as defined in Code §414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of Qualified Military Service) provided under the Plan as if the Participant had resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.

1. DISTRIBUTIONS PRIOR TO SEVERANCE FROM EMPLOYMENT. Notwithstanding the Section 4.01 distribution restrictions and except with respect to Social Security replacement contributions and income thereon, the Plan permits the following in-service distributions in accordance with this Section.

(A) Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event of a Participant's Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrative Services Provider may make a distribution to a Participant who has not incurred a Severance from Employment.

An Unforeseeable Emergency is a severe financial hardship of a Participant or primary Beneficiary of the Participant resulting from: (I) illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's primary Beneficiary, or the spouse or dependent (as defined in Code §152, and, for Taxable Years beginning on or after January 1. 2005, without regard to Code §l52(b)(l), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)) of the Participant or primary Beneficiary; (2) loss of the Participant's or primary Beneficiary's property due to casualty; (3) the need to pay for the funeral expenses of the spouse or dependent (as defined in Code §152, and, for Taxable Years beginning on or after January I, 2005,

12

City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective |«|, 2014)

without regard to Code § 152(b)(1), (bX2), and (d)(1)(B)) of the Participant or primary Beneficiary; or (4) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising from events beyond the Participant's or primary Beneficiary's control. The Administrative Services Provider will not pay the Participant more than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, which may include amounts necessary to pay taxes or penalties on the distribution. The Administrative Services Provider will not make payment to the extent the Participant may relieve the financial hardship by cessation of deferrals under the Plan, through insurance or other reimbursement, or by liquidation of the individual's assets to the extent such liquidation would not cause severe financial hardship.

A Participant's primary Beneficiary is a person whom the Participant designates in writing as a "primary beneficiary" and who is or may become entitled to a Participant's Plan account upon the Participant's death.

1. De minimis distribution. A Participant may elect to receive a distribution of his/her Account where: (I) the Participant's Account (disregarding Rollover Contributions) does not exceed $5,000 (or such other amount as does not exceed the Code §41 l(a)(l 1)(A) dollar amount); (2) the Participant has not made or received an allocation of any Deferral Contributions under the Plan during the two-year period ending on the date of distribution; and (3) the Participant has not received a prior distribution under this Section 4.05(B).
2. Distribution of Rollover Contributions. A Participant may request and receive distribution of his/her Account attributable to Rollover Contributions (but not to Transfers) before the Participant has a distributable event under Section 4.01.

4.06 DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS (QDROs). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the QDRO provisions wil) apply. The Administrative Services Provider must comply with the terms of a QDRO, as defined in Code §4l4(p), which is issued with respect to the Plan.

1. Time and Method of Payment. This Plan specifically permits distribution to an alternate payee under a QDRO at any time, notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision and irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his/her earliest retirement age (as defined under Code §4l4(p)) under the Plan. Nothing in this Section 4.06 gives a Participant a right to receive distribution at a time the Plan otherwise does not permit nor authorizes the alternate payee to receive a form of payment the Plan does not permit.
2. QDRO Procedures. Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Administrative Services Provider promptly will notify the Participant and any alternate payee named in the order, in writing, of the receipt of the order and the Plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of the order. Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order, the Administrative Services Provider must determine the qualified status of the order and must notify the Participant and each alternate payee, in writing, of the Administrative Services Provider's determination. The Administrative Services Provider must provide notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual's address specified in the domestic relations order.
3. Accounting. If any portion of the Participant's Account balance is payable under the domestic relations order during the period the Administrative Services Provider is making its determination of the qualified status of the domestic relations order, the Administrative Services Provider may maintain a separate accounting of the amounts payable. If the Administrative Services Provider determines the order is a QDRO within 18 months of the date amounts first are payable following receipt of the domestic relations order, the Administrative Services Provider will distribute the payable amounts in accordance with the QDRO. If the Administrative Services Provider does not make its determination of the qualified status of the order within the 18-month determination period, the Administrative Services Provider will distribute the payable amounts in the manner the Plan would distribute if the order did not exist and will apply the order prospectively if the Administrative Services Provider later determines the order is a QDRO.

To the extent it is not inconsistent with the provisions of the QDRO, the Administrative Services Provider may segregate the QDRO amount in a segregated investment account. The Administrative Services Provider will make any payments or distributions required under this Section 4.06 by separate benefit checks or other separate distribution to the alternate paycc(s).

1. Permissible QDROs. A domestic relations order that otherwise satisfies the requirements for a QDRO will not fail to be a QDRO: (i) solely because the order is issued after, or revises, another domestic relations order or QDRO; or (ii) solely because of the time at which the order is issued, including issuance after the annuity starting date or after the Participant's death. The Administrative Services Provider will only process a QDRO to the extent possible based upon the then-current value or benefit in the Participant's Account.

4.07  DIRECT ROLLOVER OF ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS - GOVERNMENTAL PLAN.

1. Participant Election. A Participant (including for this purpose, a former Public Employee) may elect, at the time and in the manner the Administrative Services Provider prescribes, to have any portion of his/her eligible rollover distribution from the Plan paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover election. For purposes of this election, a "Participant" includes as to their respective interests, a Participant's surviving spouse and the Participant's spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a QDRO.
2. Rollover and Withholding Notice. At least 30 days and not more than 180 days prior to the distribution of an eligible rollover distribution, the Administrative Services Provider must provide a written notice (including a summary notice as permitted under applicable Treasury regulations) explaining to the distributee the rollover option, the applicability of mandatory 20% federal withholding to any amount not directly rolled over, and the recipient's right to roll over within 60 days after the date of receipt of the distribution ("rollover notice").
3. Non-spouse Beneficiary rollover right. A non-spouse Beneficiary who is a "designated beneficiary" under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder, by a direct rollover, may roll over all or any portion of his/her distribution to an individual retirement account the Beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution. In order to be able to roll over the distribution, the distribution otherwise must satisfy the definition of an eligible rollover distribution.

1. 1. Certain requirements not applicable. Although a non-spouse Beneficiary may roll over directly a distribution, commencing with distributions after December 31, 2009, the distribution will be subject to the direct rollover requirements of Code §401(a)(31) (including the automatic rollover provisions of Code §401(a)(31)(B)), the notice requirements of Code §402(f) and the mandatory withholding requirements of Code §3405(c). If a non-spouse Beneficiary receives a distribution from the Plan, the distribution is not eligible for a "60-day" rollover.
   2. Trust Beneficiary. If the Participant's named Beneficiary is a trust, the Plan may make a direct rollover to an individual retirement account on behalf of the trust, provided the trust satisfies the requirements to be a designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code §401 (a)(9)(E).
   3. Required minimum distributions not eligible for rollover. A non-spouse Beneficiary may not roll over an amount which is a required minimum distribution, as determined under applicable Treasury regulations and other Internal Revenue Service guidance. If the Participant dies before his/her required beginning date and the non-spouse Beneficiary rolls over to an individual retirement account the maximum amount eligible for rollover, the Beneficiary may elect to use either the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule, pursuant to Treas. Reg. §l.40l(a)(9)-3, A-4(c), in determining the required minimum distributions from the individual retirement account that receives the non-spouse Beneficiary's distribution.
2. Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section:

1. Eligible rollover distribution. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of a Participant's Account, except an eligible rollover distribution does not include: (a) any distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (b) any Code §40l(a)(9) required minimum distribution; (c) any Unforeseeable Emergency distribution; and (d) any distribution which otherwise would be an eligible rollover distribution, but where the total distributions to the Participant during that calendar year are reasonably expected to be less than S200.
2. Eligible retirement plan. An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), a qualified plan described in Code §40l(a), an annuity contract (or custodial agreement) described in Code §403(b), or an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code §457(b) and maintained by an Employer described in Code §457(e)( IXA). which accepts the Participant's, the Participant's spouse's or alternate payee's eligible rollover distribution. For distributions made alter December 31, 2007, a Participant or Beneficiary may elect to roll over directly an eligible rollover distribution to a Roth individual retirement account described in Code §408A(b).
3. Direct rollover. A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

14

City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective |»|, 2014)

1. Mandatory distribution. The Administrative Services Provider is directed to make a mandatory distribution, which is an eligible rollover distribution, without the Participant's consent provided that the Participant's Account is less than S1,000. A distribution to a Beneficiary is not a mandatory distribution.
2. 40l(a)(3l)(B) Effective Date. The §40l(a)(3 l)(B) Effective Date is the date of the close of the first regular legislative session of the legislative body with the authority to amend the Plan that begins on or after January 1. 2006.

4.08 ELECTION TO DEDUCT FROM DISTRIBUTION. For distributions in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, an Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer may elect annually for that Taxable Year to have the Plan deduct an amount from a distribution which the Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer otherwise would receive and include in income. The Plan will pay such deducted amounts directly to the provider as described in Section 4.08(A).

1. Direct payment. The Plan will pay directly to the provider of the accident or health insurance plan or qualified long-term care insurance contract the amounts the Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer has elected to have deducted from the distribution. Such amounts may not exceed the lesser of $3,000 or the amount the Participant paid for such taxable year for qualified healthcare premiums, and which otherwise complies with Code §402(1).
2. Definitions.

1. Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer. An "Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer" is an individual who, by reason of disability or attainment of normal retirement age, has experienced a Severance from Employment as a Public Safety Officer with the Employer.
2. Public Safety Officer. A "Public Safety Officer" has the same meaning as in §1204(9)(A) of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. §3796b(9)(A)).
3. Qualified health insurance premiums. The term "qualified health insurance premiums" means premiums for coverage for the Eligible Retired Public Safety Officer, his/her spouse, and dependents, by an accident or health plan or qualified long-term care insurance contract (as defined in Code §7702B(b)).

ARTICLE V TRANSFERS

1. TERMINATION/FREEZING OF PLAN. The Employer has the right, at any time, to terminate this Plan or to cease (freeze) further Deferral Contributions to the Plan.

A Participant from time to time may designate, in writing, any person(s) (including a trust or other entity), contingently or successively, to whom the Administrative Services Provider will pay the Participant's Account (including any life insurance proceeds payable to the Participant's Account) in the event of death. A Participant also may designate the method of payment of his/her Account. The Administrative Services Provider will prescribe the form for the Participant's written designation of Beneficiary, which form will have no effect until it is signed, filed with the Administrative Services Provider by the Participant and accepted by the Administrative Services Provider prior to the Participant's death.

Provided the Administrative Services Provider has been provided reasonable notice thereof, a divorce decree, or a decree of legal separation, revokes the Participant's designation, if any, of his/her spouse as his/her Beneficiary under the Plan unless: (a) the decree or a QDRO provides otherwise; or (b) the Participant has re-designated his/her former spouse as Beneficiary following the date of the divorce decree, or other decree of legal separation. The foregoing revocation provision (if applicable) applies only with respect to a Participant whose divorce or legal separation becomes effective on or following the date the Employer executes the Plan.

7.02 NO BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. If the Participant dies without having a Beneficiary designation on file, the Participant's interest in the Plan shall be paid to the properly appointed fiduciary of the Participant's probate estate. Provided, however if a fiduciary has not been appointed and qualified within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Participant's death, the Participant's interest in the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's surviving spouse. If no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant's interest in the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's surviving child or children in equal shares. If no spouse or children survive the Participant, the Participant's interest in the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's surviving parent or parents in equal shares. The Participant accepts and acknowledges that the Participant has the burden for executing and filing, with the Administrative Services Provider prior to the Participant's death, a proper Beneficiary designation form. The Participant further accepts and acknowledges that his/her failure to execute and file a proper Beneficiary designation form will result in the distribution of the Participant's interest in the Plan as provided above. The Beneficiary shall have the right to elect the mode of payment of such benefits, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.03.

If the Beneficiary survives the Participant, but dies prior to distribution of the Participant's entire Account, the Administrative Services Provider will pay the remaining Account to the Beneficiary's estate unless: (1) the Participant's Beneficiary designation provides otherwise; or (2) the Beneficiary has properly designated a Beneficiary. A Beneficiary only may designate a Beneficiary for the Participant's Account Balance remaining at the Beneficiary's death, and the Beneficiary's designation otherwise complies with the Plan terms.
