2.Contract Issuance.
a.Timing. After the Commitment Agreement Date, Insurer, Company and Independent Fiduciary shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to finalize the Contract by revising the specimen group annuity contract attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Specimen Contract”) to reflect such revisions that were mutually agreed to by the parties prior to the Commitment Agreement Date but not yet included in the terms set forth in the Specimen Contract , if any, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate any additional revisions to the Specimen Contract and the terms of the related forms of annuity certificates in accordance with paragraph 2.c., below. Insurer shall submit the Contract and related forms of annuity certificates for approval by the applicable state’s insurance commission no later than fourteen (14) days after the Insurer, Company and Independent Fiduciary have agreed to the final terms of the Contract and certificates, respectively. In the event that any such approval, to the extent required by applicable law, is not granted, or if the Contract or a form of certificate is disapproved by the applicable state’s insurance commission, Insurer, Independent Fiduciary and Company will cooperate in good faith to mutually agree on modifications to the Contract or certificate, as applicable, to address the requests of the applicable state’s insurance commission, if any, and, to the extent possible, to preserve the provisions included in the Specimen Contract or certificate as revised in accordance with this paragraph 2.
b.Within five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) approval by the applicable state insurance commission, and (ii) the completion of the data and premium adjustments
process described in paragraph 3.i. and updating of the final annuity exhibits, which will be attached to and become part of the Contract, to reflect any agreed-upon changes, Insurer and Company shall each execute the Contract. Subject to Insurer’s receipt of the Premium Amount in accordance with paragraph 3, Insurer irrevocably commits to make payments to annuitants commencing on the Insurer Financial Payment Date in accordance with the Specifications (as defined in paragraph 2.c.) and, once issued, the Contract. Insurer will make such payments even if the Contract has not been issued by Insurer as of the Insurer Financial Payment Date.
c.Terms. The terms of the Contract and related forms of annuity certificates shall be consistent with the Project Glacier Retiree Annuity Purchase Request for Proposal dated April 7, 2021, (including the “Data,” as defined therein), (together, the “Specifications”), the terms set forth in the Specimen Contract with such modifications agreed on in accordance with paragraph 2.a., above, and the Insurer final proposal dated April 21, 2021. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a conflict between the Proposal and the Specifications, the Proposal will control.
3.Closing Premium.
a.Premium Payment: So long as the conditions to Closing set forth in paragraph 10 have been satisfied, the Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to pay Insurer $[***] (the “Premium Amount”) on the Closing Date by:
i.assigning, transferring, and delivering through re-registration to Insurer, by the Cut-Off Time, all rights, title and interests in and to each Eligible Asset, and
ii.paying to Insurer an amount in Cash, per instructions in Schedule 7, equal to the excess, if any, of the Premium Amount over the Transferred Asset Valuation.
In addition, so long as the conditions to Closing set forth in paragraph 10 have been satisfied, on the Closing Date, Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to pay or cause to be paid to Insurer the Interim Asset Cash Flows (such payment, together with the payment of the Premium Amount, the “Closing Date Transfers”). Insurer will deposit the Closing Date Transfers into its general account that supports the Contract. If, on or following the Closing Date, the Plan Trust, the Plan, or Company receives any payments with respect to any Transferred Asset, then to the extent any such payment (i) was not reflected in the Transferred Asset Valuation used to determine the Premium Amount or (ii) in the case of accrued interest on such Transferred Asset, was not made with respect to an accrual period that occurred after the Commitment Agreement Date such payments will be retained by the Plan Trust or, if the Plan Trust is no longer in existence at the time of such payment, Company; otherwise, Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to promptly pay to Insurer an amount in Cash equal to such payment. In all cases, Company, Independent Fiduciary and Insurer will work in good faith to cause any misdirected payments to be made to the correct party.

b.Schedule 2 Updates. On the second Business Day after the Commitment Agreement Date, Insurer will deliver to Company an updated Schedule 2 that reflects the Transferred Asset Market Value of each Schedule 2 Asset by providing the Mid Price, flat market value and accrued interest with respect to each Schedule 2 Asset. If Company, Insurer and Independent Fiduciary, despite using good faith efforts, cannot resolve any dispute with respect to any such information on or prior to the Closing Date, then Insurer’s determination will control for purposes of the Closing Date Transfers, but Company or Independent Fiduciary may immediately commence an arbitration dispute pursuant to Schedule 8 with respect to any such information, and Insurer’s determination shall be subject to retroactive adjustment based on the determination of such arbitration. On the Closing Date, Insurer will, if needed, update Schedule 2 to reflect the removal of any asset that is not received by Insurer prior to the Cut-Off Time. Insurer will, if needed, further update Schedule 2 to reflect the removal of any asset that is determined to be an Ineligible Asset pursuant to paragraph 3.c. and is returned to the Plan Trust in accordance therewith.
c.Asset Portfolio Activity. On and as of the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Insurer will provide to Company asset portfolio activity information in the form of Schedule 4 with respect to each Schedule 2 Asset and reflecting all Interim Asset Cash Flows. Prior to the Closing Date, Company will confirm to Insurer in writing that such information is accurate and complete or will provide any additions, deletions, or corrections to such information. If Company and Insurer have a dispute with respect to any such information and, despite using commercially good faith efforts, cannot resolve such dispute on or prior to the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, then Insurer’s asset portfolio activity information will control for purposes of the Closing Date Transfers, but Company or Independent Fiduciary may immediately commence an arbitration dispute pursuant to Schedule 8 with respect to any such information, and Insurer’s asset portfolio activity information shall be subject to retroactive adjustment based on the determination of such arbitration.
d.Ineligible Assets. By written notice to the other party on or before the fifth Business Day following the Closing Date, Company or Insurer may identify as an Ineligible Asset any asset that was transferred to Insurer as part of the Closing Date Transfers, and the parties will work in good faith for seven (7) Business Days following the receipt of such notice to agree on which, if any, assets constituting part of the Closing Date Transfers are Ineligible Assets. If the parties agree that an asset is an Ineligible Asset within such seven (7) Business Days following the receipt of such notice, then, on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days following such agreement, Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to promptly pay or cause to be paid to Insurer an amount, in Cash, per instructions in Schedule 7, equal to the Transferred Asset Market Value of each such asset, and, simultaneously with receipt of such payment, Insurer will return each such asset to the Plan Trust together with any Interim Asset Cash Flows associated with such asset.

e.Interest Payments. Any payment made pursuant to paragraph 3.d. or 3.i. will also include an amount, in Cash, equal to the interest on such payment calculated at an annual rate equal to [***]% from the Closing Date through but excluding the date of such payment.
f.Additional Actions with Respect to Eligible Assets. Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to promptly give or cause to be given all notices that are required, under applicable law and the terms of each Eligible Asset, in connection with the sale, assignment, transfer, and delivery of the Eligible Assets on the Closing Date. The Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to and Insurer will promptly execute, deliver, record, file, or cause to be executed, delivered, recorded, or filed any and all releases, affidavits, waivers, notices, or other documents that Company or Insurer may reasonably request in order to implement the transfer of the Eligible Assets to Insurer.

h.Available Assets. Company will cause the Plan Trust to have sufficient Cash or other assets (whether by means of a Cash contribution or otherwise) to enable the Plan Trustee to pay all amounts that it is directed to pay to Insurer by Independent Fiduciary pursuant to this Commitment Agreement.
i.Premium Adjustments. After the Commitment Agreement Date and prior to October 25, 2021, Company and the Insurer will cooperate in good faith to identify any data errors (“Data Changes”), including new lives, deaths prior to the Closing Date, deleted lives not related to death and changes in or adjustments to existing annuitant data including, but not limited to the following: date of birth, monthly benefit amount, gender, form of annuity, description of annuity, state of residence and qualified domestic relations orders (including the type of qualified domestic relations order). To the extent that the Data Changes occurring prior to October 25, 2021 fall within a [***]% pricing corridor (meaning that the resulting adjustment to the premium, whether positive or negative, does not exceed an amount equal to [***]% of the Premium Amount), Insurer will calculate the adjustment to the premium for each Data Change on a life-by-life basis, consistent with pricing assumptions and methodologies that are the same as the pricing assumptions and methodologies used by Insurer to calculate the Premium Amount (the “Original Pricing Assumptions”). Any adjustment in excess of such [***]% corridor will be priced by updating the Original Pricing Assumptions based on then-current changes in capital market conditions and other relevant factors. All premium adjustments will be paid as follows:
i.If the premium adjustment is a positive number, then Independent Fiduciary will direct the Plan Trustee to (or, if the Plan is not in existence as of such date, Company will) pay to Insurer an amount, in Cash, equal to such premium
4
adjustment, plus interest calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.e. from the Closing Date through the date of payment, and Insurer will deposit the Cash into the its general account that supports the Contract; or
ii.If the premium adjustment is a negative number, then Insurer will pay to the Plan Trust (or if the Plan Trust is not in existence as of such date, Company) an amount, in Cash, equal to the absolute value of such premium adjustment plus interest calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.e. from the Closing Date through the date of payment.
Insurer will provide the premium adjustment on a life-by-life basis for Company and Independent Fiduciary’s review by December 3, 2021, or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the parties. Company will respond to Insurer with any questions on the premium adjustment calculation by December 10, 2021, or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the parties. Insurer and Company will cooperate in good faith to resolve any discrepancies on or prior to December 13, 2021 or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the parties, and Insurer will reflect in the annuity exhibit to the Contract any changes that have been agreed to on or prior to such date.

If an Independent Fiduciary MAC has not occurred between the Commitment Agreement Date and the Closing Date or, if an Independent Fiduciary MAC has occurred but is not continuing on the Closing Date, such selection, the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement, the Plan’s use of assets for the purchase of the Contract as contemplated by this Commitment Agreement, and the Contract (including its terms) all satisfy the ERISA Requirements. Independent Fiduciary has delivered a certification confirming the foregoing, executed by a duly authorized officer of Independent Fiduciary, to the Plan’s fiduciary that retained the Independent Fiduciary.
ii.The transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement and the purchase of the Contract do not result in a Non-Exempt Prohibited Transaction, provided that the representations in paragraph 7.c. and 8.d. are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.
iii.The Plan Trust (1) will receive no less than “adequate consideration” for the Transferred Assets and (2) will pay no more than “adequate consideration” for the Contract, in each case within the meaning of “adequate consideration” under ERISA § 408(b)(17)(B) and Code § 4975(f)(10).
d.No Commissions. No commissions are or will be owed by Independent Fiduciary to any individual or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement and the Contract for which any other party, or its respective affiliates or representatives, could be liable.
e.Enforceability; No Conflict. This Commitment Agreement is duly executed and delivered by Independent Fiduciary, and is a valid and binding obligation of Independent Fiduciary and enforceable against Independent Fiduciary in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Commitment Agreement by Independent Fiduciary, and the consummation by Independent Fiduciary of the transactions contemplated to be undertaken by Independent Fiduciary in this Commitment Agreement, do not (1) violate or conflict with the certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, code of regulations, or comparable governing documents of Independent Fiduciary, (2) violate or conflict with any law or order of any governmental authority applicable to Independent Fiduciary, (3) require any governmental approval, (4) violate or conflict with any law or order of any governmental authority applicable to any provision of the Plan Governing Documents or (5) require any consent of or other action by any person under, constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or cause or permit termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit under, any provision of any contract to which the Independent Fiduciary is a party, except where the occurrence of any of the foregoing would not have a material adverse effect on the Independent Fiduciary’s
14
ability to consummate the transactions and perform its obligations contemplated by this Commitment Agreement.
f.Litigation. There is no action pending or, to Independent Fiduciary’s knowledge, threatened against Independent Fiduciary that in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement or that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or restrict Independent Fiduciary’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

a.Independent Fiduciary will have confirmed that the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement continue to satisfy the ERISA Requirements because an Independent Fiduciary MAC has not occurred or, if an Independent Fiduciary MAC has occurred, it is not continuing on the Closing Date; provided that, on the Closing Date, Independent Fiduciary will either (i) provide Insurer with written confirmation of the satisfaction of the condition set forth in this paragraph 10.a. or (ii) notify Insurer that such condition has not been satisfied; provided further that, if the Closing Date Transfers are delivered to Insurer pursuant to paragraph 3 and no such confirmation or notification is provided by Independent Fiduciary by the close of business on the Closing Date, the direction Independent Fiduciary sends to the Plan Trustee to pay the Closing Date Transfers in accordance with paragraph 3 shall be considered confirmation of the satisfaction of the condition set forth in this paragraph 10.a.
b.No court or government agency has taken any action after the Commitment Agreement Date that would cause the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Agreement to violate the law or cause the Plan to fail to remain qualified under Code § 401(a).
