An unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship resulting from a sudden illness, disability or accidental property loss, subject to strict IRS guidelines. T. PARTICIPANT LOANS. The Administrator has directed the Trustee NOT to make Participant loans in accordance with Article IV of the Plan. U. QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS. The Plan shall accept qualified domestic relations orders as provided in Section 13.02 of the Plan. V. PAYMENT OPTIONS. The forms of payment that will be allowed under the Plan, to the extent consistent with the limitations of Code § 401(a)(9) and proposed or final Treasury regulations thereunder, include a single lump-sum payment; installment payments for a period of years; partial lump-sum payment of a designated amount, with the balance payable in installment payments for a period of years; annuity payments (payable on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis) for the lifetime of the Participant or for the lifetimes of the Participant and Beneficiary; and such other forms of installment payments as may be approved by the Administrator, which is not inconsistent with the Plan. W. DISTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may request distributions as follows: 1. A Participant may request a distribution at any time upon Severance from Employment. "Severance from Employment" means the complete severance of the employer/employee relationship with any and all employers participating in the Plan, including retirement or death. Thus, a Severance from Employment would not occur if a Participant transfers employment (i) from one local government that participates in the Plan to another local government that participates in the Plan, or (ii) from the State to a local government that participates in the Plan, or (iii) from a local government that participates in the Plan to the State. 2. A Participant may request a distribution prior to Severance from Employment during the calendar year in which he or she reaches age 70½ or, thereafter, or, if earlier, upon death. 13 1-2017 State of Tennessee Deferred Compensation Plan I for Participating Governmental Employers A Participant may also request a distribution prior to Severance from Employment upon incurring an approved Unforeseeable Emergency. 3.

The Participating Employer further understands and acknowledges that: • This Participating Employer Agreement has not been approved by the Internal Revenue Service. Obtaining such approval, if desired by the Employer, is solely the responsibility of the Employer. • The Chair of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System ("Chair") and the Participating Employers are not responsible for providing tax or legal advice to Participants. • The Participating Employer has consulted, to the extent necessary, with its own legal and tax advisors. • All capitalized terms which are used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan Document. • The Participating Employer will electronically remit in a timely manner, all employee and employer contributions to the Plan in a manner acceptable with the Plan's Third Party Administrator. The Employer's payroll administrator is responsible for reconciliation of all contributions to the Plan and shall provide the Plan Administrator with required contribution reconciliation reports. Each Employer is required to use the Plan Service Center to administer their employee contributions, indicative data, and enrollment information. If the Participating Employer fails to remit the requisite contributions in a timely manner, the Chair reserves the right, at the Chair's sole discretion, to terminate the Employer's participation in the Plan. In such event, the Chair shall notify the Employer of the effective termination date, and the Employer shall immediately notify all its Employees participating in the Plan of the termination and the effective date thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of the Employer to remit the requisite reports and contributions to the Plan and that neither the State, the Chair, the Trustees, its employees or agents shall have any responsibility or liability for ensuring or otherwise monitoring that this is done. • Participating Employers are required to use the investment options made available under the Plan. From time to time those investment options may be changed. If an investment option is eliminated, the Administrator may automatically reinvest the money in the eliminated investment option into a new investment option. After any 14 1-2017 State of Tennessee Deferred Compensation Plan I for Participating Governmental Employers appropriate black-out period, the affected Participants may re-direct money in the new investment option to any other available investment option. The Participants shall have no right to require the Administrator to select or retain any investment option. Any change with respect to investment options made by the Plan (on the Plan level) or a Participant (on the individual level), however, shall be subject to the terms and conditions (including any rules or procedural requirements) of the affected investment options. This Participating Employer Agreement is duly executed on behalf of the Participating Employer by the undersigned authorized signatories.
