Section 3. Eligibility.
Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, the Plan Administrator (or its designee) shall designate the Eligible Employees who are eligible to Participate in this Plan and may receive Supplemental Company Retirement Contributions for such Plan Year; provided, however, that for the Plan Year occurring in 2019, all Eligible Employees shall be deemed to be eligible to Participate in this Plan.

The Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution amount so credited shall equal the percentage set by the CPSP with regard to a Company Retirement Contribution, multiplied by the amount by which the Participant's CRCMP Pay for the period for which the Company Retirement Contribution exceeds his or her CPSP Pay for that period.
Section 4.1. Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account Earnings
The Company shall periodically credit earnings, gains, and losses to a Participant's Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account, until the full balance of such Account has been distributed. Earnings, gains, and losses shall be credited to a Participant's Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account under this Section based on the results that would have been achieved had amounts credited to such Account been invested as soon as practicable after crediting into Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall specify procedures to allow Participants to make elections as to the deemed investment of amounts newly credited to their Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Accounts, as
well as the deemed investment of amounts previously credited to their Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Accounts. Nothing in this Section or otherwise in this Plan, however, will require the Company to actually invest any amounts in such Investment Options or otherwise.
Section 5. Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account Vesting.
A Participant shall become vested in his Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account according to the following schedule:
Vested Percentage
Less than three (3) years

Upon any Participant's Separation from Service, such Participant shall forfeit the non-vested portion of his or her Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account as of the date of the Participant's Separation from Service.
Section 6. Payment.
Vested Benefits which become payable under this Plan shall be paid in cash. In the absence of an effective election under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the vested Benefits that a Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment on the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service. Furthermore, in the absence of an effective election under Section 6.1
or Section 6.2, if the Participant dies prior to his or her Separation from Service, or after his or her Separation from Service, but prior to the date that the vested Benefits which the Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) are paid, the Benefits that the Participant is eligible to receive under this Plan (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) shall be paid in one lump sum cash payment to the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant's death.
Section 6.1. Payment Election by Participant.
For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect on an Election Form delivered to the Plan Administrator at a time set by the Plan Administrator (which shall be prior to the beginning of the Plan Year) to have the amounts attributable to Benefits under this Plan that are credited to his or her Supplemental Company Retirement Contribution Account (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) with respect to such Plan Year paid to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment; provided, however, that a Participant who is, at the time of the election, in a salary grade level 19 or higher under the Company's salary grade system (or the equivalent grades under any successor system) may elect to receive instead annual, semi-annual, or quarterly installments paid in cash, using a declining balance method, over a period ranging from one to fifteen (15) years.
A Participant may elect to have the single lump sum cash payment paid on or, if applicable, the installment cash payments commence as of the beginning of any calendar quarter that is at least one year after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service, provided that no payment shall be made after the date that is twenty (20) years after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service. In the absence of an election on the date which a payment is to commence, it shall commence as of the beginning of the first calendar quarter that is six months after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service.
Section 6.2. Change in Time or Form of Payment.
A Participant may make an election to change the time or form of payment elected under Section 6.1 or the payment to be made under Section 6, but only if the following rules are satisfied:
The election to change the time or form of payment may not take effect until at least twelve months after the date on which such election is made;
Payment under such election may not be made earlier than at least five (5) years from the date the payment would have otherwise been made or commenced;
Such payment may commence as of the beginning of any calendar quarter;
An election to receive payments in installments shall be treated as a single payment for purposes of these rules;
The election may not result in an impermissible acceleration of payment prohibited under Code section 409A;
No more than four (4) such elections shall be permitted; and
No payment may be scheduled to commence after the date that is twenty (20) years after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service.
Section 6.3. Beneficiary Designation.
A Participant may designate one or more persons primarily or contingently as Beneficiaries in writing upon forms supplied by and delivered to the Company and may revoke such designations in writing, including by any electronic means approved by the Plan Administrator. If no designation of Beneficiary is on file with the Plan Administrator at the time of the death of the Participant or such designation is not effective for any reason as determined by the Plan Administrator, then, for purposes of this Plan, Beneficiary shall mean, and such Benefits shall be paid to, (i) the Participant's surviving spouse as of the Participant's date of death, or (ii) if there is no surviving spouse as of the Participant's date of death, the Participant's surviving child or children in equal shares, or (iii) if there is neither a surviving spouse nor any surviving child, the Participant's estate.
Section 6.4. Acceleration of Payment of Benefits.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, except as provided in Section 12(e) and below, in no event shall this Plan permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment or distribution under this Plan, except that the Plan Administrator may accelerate a payment or distribution under this Plan to comply with a certificate of divestiture, as provided in section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations. Moreover, if a portion of a Participant's Benefit (and earnings, gains, and losses thereon) is includible in income under Code section 409A, then such portion shall be distributed immediately to the Participant in accordance with section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vii) of the Treasury regulations.
Section 7. Administration.
This Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may delegate to employees of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, to do all such acts and things, and to take such other steps deemed necessary, advisable, or convenient for the effective administration of this Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose, except that the Plan Administrator may not delegate any discretionary authority with respect to substantive decisions or functions regarding this Plan or Benefits hereunder. The Plan Administrator shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities, and all interpretations, findings of fact and resolutions described herein which are made by the Plan Administrator shall be binding, final and conclusive on all parties.
The Plan Administrator and his or her delegates shall serve without bond and without compensation for services under this Plan. All expenses of the Plan Administrator and his or her delegates for services under this Plan shall be paid by the Company. None of the Plan Administrator or his or her delegates shall be liable for any act or omission on his or her own part excepting his or her own willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such decision or action taken by the Plan Administrator or his or her delegates in reliance upon any information supplied by an officer of the Company, the Company's legal counsel, or the Company's independent accountants in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be deemed to have been taken in good faith.
Section 7.1. Claim for Benefits.
Any claim for benefits hereunder shall be presented in writing to the Plan Administrator for consideration, grant, or denial. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.
In the case of a denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within ninety (90) days of the date on which the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond ninety (90) days after the expiration of the initial ninety (90)-day period. A denial or partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Plan Administrator and will clearly set forth:
the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied claim set forth below, including the claimant's right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review.
Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to the Trustee for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Trustee within sixty (60) days of the receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant's authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. If the claimant fails to file a request for review within sixty (60) days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim.
The Trustee will provide a prompt written decision on review. The Trustee shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities, and all interpretations, findings of fact and resolutions described herein which are made by the Trustee shall be binding, final and conclusive on all parties. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set forth:
the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination;
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;
a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits; and
a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by this Plan and the claimant's right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of the claimant's right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a).
A decision will be rendered no more than sixty (60) days after the Trustee's receipt of the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional sixty (60) days if the Trustee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial sixty (60)-day period.
To the extent permitted by law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under this Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant's denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented during the claims procedure.
Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary, all in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, shall to the extent thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Plan Administrator, the Company and all Participating Subsidiaries, any of which may require such Participant or Beneficiary as a condition to such payment to execute a receipt and release therefor in such form as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, the Company or a Participating Subsidiary. If a receipt and release is required and the Participant or Beneficiary (as applicable) does not provide such receipt and release in a timely enough manner to permit a timely distribution in accordance with the general timing of distribution provisions in this Plan, the payment of any affected distribution(s) shall be forfeited.
Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator decides in its discretion that a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to the Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Plan, a Participant (or other claimant) must exhaust all administrative remedies set forth in this Section 7.1 or otherwise established by the Plan Administrator before bringing any action at law or equity. Any claim based on a denial of a claim under this Plan must be brought no later than the date which is two (2) years after the date of the final denial of a claim under this Section 7.1. Any claim not brought within such time shall be waived and forever barred.
Section 8. Rights of Employees and Participants.
Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents related to this Plan or to any Benefit) shall confer upon any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group or constitute any contract or limit in any way the right of the Company or any member of the Controlled Group to change such person's compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment of such person with or without cause.
Section 9. Awards in Foreign Countries.
The Board or its delegate shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or Participating Subsidiaries may operate to assure the viability of the Benefits of Participants employed in such countries and to meet the purpose of this Plan.
Section 10. Amendment and Termination.
The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any time, and to delegate such authority as the Board deems necessary or desirable; provided that no member of the Board who is also a Participant shall participate in any action which has the actual or potential effect of increasing his or her Benefits hereunder; and further provided, the Company shall remain liable for any Benefits accrued under this Plan prior to the date of amendment or termination.
Section 11. Unfunded Plan.
All amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company and any rights accruing to a Participant under this Plan shall be those of a general creditor; provided, however, that the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts to satisfy part or all of the Company's Plan payment obligations so long as this Plan remains unfunded for purposes of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.
Section 12. Miscellaneous Provisions.
The interest of a Participant or his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be null and void; neither shall the benefits hereunder be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person to whom such benefits or funds are payable, nor shall they be an asset in bankruptcy or subject to garnishment, attachment or other legal or equitable proceedings.
If any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, parent, brother, or sister, or any other individual deemed by the Plan Administrator to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such person. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12(b) shall be a complete discharge of any liability of this Plan with respect to the benefit so paid.
If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
Payment of Plan benefits may be subject to administrative or other delays that result in payment to the Participant or his beneficiaries on a date later than the date specified in this Plan or the Participant's Election Form. Any such payment delays will comply with Code section 409A of the Code, including without limitation section 1.409A-2(b)(7) of
the Treasury regulations. No Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any additional earnings or interest in respect of any such payment delays, nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary be provided any election with respect to the timing of any delayed payment.
This Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code section 409A, as applicable, in order to avoid any adverse tax consequences resulting from any failure to comply with Code section 409A and, as a result, this Plan shall be operated in a manner consistent with such compliance. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Plan, the Participant (and/or the Participant's Beneficiary, as applicable) shall have no right to dictate the taxable year in which any payment hereunder that is subject to Code section 409A should be paid.
If all or any part of any Participant's or Beneficiary's benefit hereunder shall become subject to any estate, inheritance, income, employment or other tax which the Company shall be required to pay or withhold, the Company shall have the full power and authority to withhold and pay such tax out of any monies or other property held for the account of the Participant or Beneficiary whose interests hereunder are so affected (including, without limitation, by reducing and offsetting the Participant's or Beneficiary's account balance). Prior to making any payment, the Company may require such releases or other documents from any lawful taxing authority as it shall deem necessary or desirable.
No amount accrued or payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a portion of an Employee's compensation or earnings for the purpose of any other employee benefit plan adopted or maintained by the Company, nor shall this Plan be deemed to amend or modify the provisions of the CPSP.
This Plan shall be construed, regulated, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas except to the extent that said laws are preempted by the laws of the United States. Venue for any suit brought regarding any claim under this Plan shall be in Harris County, Texas.
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, including but not limited to any corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets and business or with or into which the Company may be consolidated or merged.
It is the intention of the Company that, so long as any of ConocoPhillips' equity securities are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, this Plan shall be operated in compliance with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and, if any Plan provision or transaction is found not to comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, that provision or transaction, as the case may be, shall be deemed null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Company, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate this Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of this Plan to Participants who are officers and directors subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning this Plan with respect to other Participants.
The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may direct that a payment to be made to an incompetent or disabled person, whether because of minority or mental or physical disability, instead be made to the guardian of such person or to the person having custody of such person, without further liability either on the part of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for the amount of such payment to the person on whose Benefit such payment is made.
Section 13. Effective Date of this Plan.
This Company Retirement Contribution Make-Up Plan of ConocoPhillips is hereby adopted, by ConocoPhillips Company, a Delaware corporation, effective as of January 1, 2019.

This site is currently under construction! If you wanna stick around it will be boring! Maybe you might see some changes from time to time as I tweak this to perfection. But for the most part, you won't see anything more than what you see now. So sit back and enjoy the ride, because it will be slow, haha. We will try to let everyone know when we are active.

Q: hostname is different in vercel logs than what i have in env I'm using mysql2 to fetch some data from a MySQL database. On localhost, it's working without any errors, but on production, I'm not getting any data, instead I'm getting 504 error and in Vercel realtime logs, I'm getting Access denied for user 'myusername'@'ec2-3-236-108-51.compute-1.amazonaws.com'. That hostname is totally different than what I have in my .env file.
In .env file I have NEXT_PUBLIC_DB_HOSTNAME=host.example.com, then i'm using like this:
const dbConnection = await mysql.createConnection({
    user: myusername,
    host: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DB_HOSTNAME,
    rest of code ...

If I'm doing something like this, just to console.log() the hostname, the output is correct on localhost & production, but on vercel logs, i'm geting that hostname totally different than what I have.
const hostname = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DB_HOSTNAME;
console.log(`The hostname for the database is: ${hostname}`);

// OUTPUT is host.example.com on localhost and production

Is this something related to security? On Vercel App Settings, don't have any environment variables added.

High Flying Bird
"Soderbergh Holds Court"
"High Flying Bird," the latest film from Steven Soderbergh, may be set within the world of professional basketball but it is by no means a "sports movie" in any traditional sense—outside of a couple of dribbles on the court, the focus on this engrossing, dialogue-heavy drama is on the game behind the one be played out on the court that generates billions for those running the show but which leaves most of the actual players out to dry.
As the film opens, the N.B.A. is in a lockout following a dispute between the owners and the Players Association, This means no revenue coming in for anyone and while this is only an inconvenience for the owners and the biggest players, the lesser-known players are definitely beginning to feel the pinch. One of those is Erick Scott (Melvin Gregg), a top draft pick who is not getting paid anything at the moment and has just taken out a high-interest loan against the advice of his agent, Ray Burke (Andre Holland), who counsels him at great length about the need to act sensibly at this time. Unfortunately, the lunch meeting in which he lays this all out for his client is interrupted when his corporate credit card is declined—since his agency is not bringing in any money either, his salary and expenses are both being suspended until the end of the lockout. Now with skin of his own in the game, Ray bounces around between owners, players and the union rep (Sonja Sohn) in an increasingly frantic effort to break up the logjam until he hits upon an idea to revolutionize the entire method of distributing sporting events to the masses in a way that upends the current structure for good, gives far more power to the actual players and even help dismantle the unspoken layers of racism that exist in a league in which the owners are virtually all white and the actual laborers are almost all black.
So yeah, as basketball movies go, this is not exactly "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh." If you can imagine a far more cynical version of "Jerry Maguire" that completely eschewed the romance for the deal making, that is a little closer to what Soderbergh and writer Tarell Alvin McCraney (the co-writer of "Moonlight") have in store here. Needless to say, this is a very talky movie but even if you are not able to figure out every single thing going on during the fast-paced dialogues that make up the majority of the scenes (this is not one of those films where people inexplicably stop to explain things in laborious detail, ostensibly to the other characters but mostly to the audience), they have been written in such a sprightly and compelling manner that even those who have never opened an issue of "Sports Illustrated" in their lives should not have a problem following along. Much of the fun of the film comes from the electrifying lead performance from Holland, who perfectly conveys the attitude of a guy who is constantly searching for an angle in any situation that he can use to his advantage and is perfectly capable of switching streams in the middle of a sentence when needed. The film also demonstrates a snazzy visual style as well that finds Soderbergh, once again working as his own cinematographer, literally playing the angles as well for a rich effect that is all the more impressive when you realize that he, as he did with his previous film, "Unsane," shot the entire thing on an iPhone, a technique that becomes even more ironic when you see how the story eventually unfolds.
That big revelation is perhaps the only real stumble to be had in the film—without giving it away, it just comes across as a little too simplistic to be believed. That is the only time, however, when it feels as if it is going for the easy layup. Other than that, this is a film with a strong and uncommonly interesting screenplay, a directorial style that is audacious without ever becoming overwhelming and strong performances from the entire cast (which also includes nice turns from Zazie Beets as Ray's ambitious assistant, Bill Duke as an old school coach who recalls the days when African-Americans had their own superior basketball league until the NBA took it over to get their hands on the talent pool and Kyle MachLachlan as the loathsome point man for the owners). For Soderbergh, it is a particular triumph in the sense that 30 years since literally revolutionizing the American independent film movement with the debut of his ground-breaking "sex, lies and videotape," he shows that he is still capable of making films that challenge audiences, the entire filmmaking apparatus (this time by bypassing theaters to go straight to Netflix) and, perhaps most importantly, his own creative ambitions.
