BP funds this plan — you do not make any contributions. The RAP is a “cash balance” retirement-plan design that allows your cash balance account to grow steadily with monthly pay and interest credits over your career with BP. Although your BP RAP benefit is meant for your retirement, it is also portable — meaning you can take it with you if you are vested when you leave BP, regardless of your age or service. When you are ready to receive your benefit, you have several payment options. You can also leave your account balance in the RAP and let it earn additional interest credits (subject to account balance minimums) or roll it into the BP Employee Savings Plan or another eligible plan.

Further, differences between this summary and the applicable plan document are not intended.

Page 6 of 76 Beneficiary designation When you participate in the RAP, you should designate a beneficiary to receive any benefits that may be payable from your account in the event of your death. If you are married, your spouse (same sex or opposite sex) is automatically your beneficiary. If you want to name someone other than your spouse, your spouse must consent in writing each time you make a new designation. A notary public must verify that consent. If you are not married, you may designate anyone you wish to be your beneficiary and you may change this designation as often as you like. If you do not designate a beneficiary, if no designated beneficiary survives you or if your beneficiary designation was not filed properly, your benefit will be paid to your estate upon your death. You can name one person, more than one person, or a trust or other legal entity as your primary beneficiary. You can also name a secondary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary, to receive your account in the event your primary beneficiary(ies) dies before you. If you name more than one primary beneficiary and one of those beneficiaries does not survive you, his/her benefits will be shared equally among any remaining beneficiaries of the same type (primary or contingent), except to the extent otherwise provided on the applicable beneficiary form. Payment will be made to your contingent beneficiary(ies) only if there is no surviving primary beneficiary(ies). Naming a trust: Provide the name, date and tax identification number of the trust (if available). The benefit will be made payable to the specific trust named as the beneficiary, including revocable trusts. If there has not been a tax identification number assigned to the trust, provide your Social Security number. The trust must be established prior to the date this form is submitted. Do not send a copy of the trust agreement. If available, also provide the name and address of one trustee. Please carefully select which trust you designate as your beneficiary because your benefit will be paid only to the specific trust you designate; we recommend that you consult with your estate planner or financial planner in this regard, particularly if you have a revocable trust. If you have not attained the age of 35 and name someone other than your spouse (and your spouse provides valid written consent), your designation will become invalid as of the first day of the plan year during which your 35th birthday occurs, and your spouse will be automatically reinstated as your beneficiary. If you wish to name someone other than your spouse at that time, your spouse must consent in writing to the new designation. You should be aware of some additional provisions that apply to beneficiary designations: Your beneficiary designation cannot be changed by anyone after your death. No beneficiary can refuse to accept his/her benefit. A divorce does not automatically revoke your former spouse (same sex or opposite sex) as a designated beneficiary. You must change your beneficiary designation to replace him or her. However, if the Plan Administrator receives a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) and you do not re-designate your former spouse as a beneficiary, your former spouse will no longer be your designated beneficiary. Please be aware that a QDRO may affect your beneficiary designation. If you are impacted by a QDRO, please refer to your court documentation for information about any required named beneficiaries. To designate your beneficiary or change your designation, contact BP Retirement Services at Fidelity online or by phone at 1-877-272-3334. Properly complete any required forms, such as a notarized consent, and return them to BP Retirement Services at Fidelity for your new or changed beneficiary designation to become effective. If required forms aren’t completed properly or accepted by BP Retirement Services at Fidelity, your designation is not valid. If you are a participant in a BP non-qualified retirement plan, the rules may differ. Please see the Non-Qualified Plans Overview for more details.
