14. Transferability of Incentive Awards. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14, by
applicable law or by the terms of a Grant Agreement, (i) all Incentive Awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or
charge; (ii) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised only by the Participant; and (iii) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an Incentive Award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the Participant.
The foregoing exercise and transfer restrictions shall not apply to: (a) transfers to Dominion upon forfeiture or cancellation of an Incentive Award or to pay the exercise price of an Option or to an Employer to pay Applicable Withholding
Taxes; (b) transfers to or exercises by the Participants beneficiary in the event of a Participants death, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution;
(c) transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code) (in the case of Incentive Stock Options, to the extent such transfers are permitted by the Code); or (d) if the Participant is incapacitated, permitted
transfers to or exercises on behalf of the Participant by his or her legal representative. The Committee may expressly provide in the Grant Agreement that an Incentive Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may be transferred to, exercised by
and paid to members of the Participants family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participants family and/or charitable institutions, for estate and/or tax
planning purposes, for no consideration, and in compliance with applicable securities laws.
15. Applicable Withholding Taxes. An Employer shall
have the right to deduct from any exercise, payment, vesting or settlement of an Incentive Award made under the Plan, including the delivery or vesting of shares, a sufficient amount to cover Applicable Withholding Taxes or to take such other action
as may be necessary to satisfy any such withholding obligations. The Committee may permit the Participant to remit separate payment in cash or shares of Company Stock to satisfy Applicable Withholding Taxes in lieu of Employer withholding. Any
shares withheld by or remitted to the Employer in satisfaction of Applicable Withholding Taxes shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the exercise, payment or settlement date of the applicable Incentive Award.
16. Effective Date of the Plan. The Effective Date of the Plan shall be May 7, 2024, the date of Dominions 2024 annual meeting of
shareholders, subject to approval of the Plan by Dominions shareholders at such meeting. Until the Plan has been approved by Dominions shareholders and the requirements of all applicable securities laws have been met, no Incentive
Awards shall be granted or exercised under the Plan, unless the grant or exercise is contingent on the occurrence of these events.
17. Termination and
Amendment. If not sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the date after the 2034 annual meeting of Dominions shareholders. No Incentive Awards shall be made under the Plan after its
termination. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time before then, and may amend the Plan and any Incentive Awards under the Plan at any time and in any respects as it shall deem advisable; provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in Section 18 below or in a Participants Grant Agreement, no termination or amendment of the Plan or any Incentive Award under the Plan shall materially adversely affect a Participants rights with respect to any
outstanding Incentive Award without that Participants consent. Furthermore, no amendment shall be effective without the approval of the Companys stockholders if stockholder approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulations,
including any applicable rule of the New York Stock Exchange, or such amendment seeks to modify Section 13 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend the Plan and Incentive Awards without having to obtain the consent of any
affected Participant as it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable laws or to cause Incentive Awards to avoid adverse tax consequences under the Code and regulations thereunder.
18. Change in Capital Structure.

covered by the award so as to eliminate the fractional shares. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to)
