It is the intention of the Company that no payment or entitlement pursuant to the Plan will give rise to any adverse tax consequences to an Outside Director under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including those issued after the date hereof (collectively, [Section 409A]). The Plan shall be interpreted to that end and, consistent with that objective and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may unilaterally take any action it deems necessary or desirable to amend any provision herein to avoid the application of excise tax or other penalties under Section 409A, including any actions to exempt an award from [Section 409A] or comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Further, no effect shall be given to any provision herein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. Neither the Company nor its current or former employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents shall have any liability to any current or former Outside Director with respect to any accelerated taxation, additional taxes, penalties or interest for which any current or former Outside Director may become liable in the event that any amounts payable under the Plan are determined to violate [Section 409A].
The Plan may be terminated or amended in any respect by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, unless a Change in Control has previously occurred. If a Change in Control occurs, the Plan shall not be subject to amendment, change, substitution, deletion, revocation or termination in any respect which adversely affects the rights of Eligible Employees.
Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board of Directors or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective without approval by the stockholders of Alcoa Corporation to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, including to continue to qualify the amounts payable hereunder as Performance-based Compensation.
A claim for benefits under the Plan will be handled as follows:

Amendment or Termination. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to amend or cancel this Policy at any time if it determines in its sole discretion that such action would be in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend this Policy, Wells Fargo’s Chief Human Resources Officer or the Head of Total Rewards, or such equivalent title, may amend the Policy to incorporate administrative revisions.
Amendment or Termination. The Committee reserves the right, at any time, without either the consent of, or any prior notification to, any Participant, Eligible Officer or other person, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Award Opportunity granted thereunder, in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any reason; provided that any such amendment shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (as applicable), and provided further that any such amendment shall not, after the end of the 90-day period described in Section 3 of the Plan, cause the amount payable under an Award Opportunity to be increased as compared to the amount that would have been paid in accordance with the terms established as of the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan following a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) may adversely affect in a material way any Award Opportunity that was outstanding on the date of the Change in Control, without the consent of the affected Participant.
Amendment or Termination of the Deferral Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Deferral Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, terminate the Deferral Plan at any time and pay installments out in a lump sum even when installments have already begun and/or the Participant has terminated employment.
Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan. The Board, the Human Resources Committee of the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board may at any time terminate, suspend or modify the Plan, except that the Board or Committee will not, without authorization of the shareholders of the Company, effect any change (other than through adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 22) which will reduce the exercise price of, or reprice, outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights as set forth in Section 9.6 or Section 10.4 or otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring shareholder approval by law or under the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.
