Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service at Work Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service at Work (PAS-W) lets you delegate the ongoing management of your account to professional investment managers. This means that Fidelity s team of investment professionals invests, monitors, and rebalances your account as needed to adjust to changes in the market or changes to your situation. With a managed account, you are turning over the management of your ESIP to a professional who works on your behalf. Strategic Advisers, Inc., a registered investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company, has been appointed to provide discretionary management through PAS-W. Any individual fees associated with PAS-W are reflected in the Individual Fees section of this Notice. Restrictions There may be certain restrictions, as summarized below, on how investment directions may be made in the Plan. During certain periods, restricted employees, as determined by your employer, are not permitted to purchase or sell their company s stock held within the Plan. Your company will notify you if you are a restricted employee and will provide you with additional information about when you may be prevented from purchasing or selling company stock held within the Plan. You are not permitted to make an exchange from any other investment option within the Plan or make contributions into the Chevron ESOP fund. The minimum initial transfer into BrokerageLink, as well as subsequent transfers, is $1,000. Future contribution investment elections to BrokerageLink may not exceed 50% of your total contributions. Exchanges into BrokerageLink are not allowed if the exchange will result in more than 50% of the total market value of your account being invested in BrokerageLink.

4 Restrictions (continued) Because excessive transactions can disrupt the management of an investment and increase its transaction costs, limits are placed on exchanges and other transactions. These limits apply to round-trips, defined as an exchange in and out of the same fund within 30 calendar days. Two round-trips in 90 days within an investment (other than money market funds, stable value investments, short-term bond funds, but including Short-Term Inflation Protected Securities Index) will result in the limitation or prohibition of additional purchases in the same investment (other than contributions and loan repayments) for 85 calendar days; four round-trips in 12 months within any investment or combination of investments will result in a limitation of one exchange day per calendar quarter for a 12-month period. This policy is limited to participant-initiated exchanges greater than $1,000. The frequent trading policy does not apply to the following: exchanges of shares purchased with participant payroll or employer contributions or loan payments; exchanges of shares purchased with reinvested dividend or capital gains distributions; distributions, loans, and in-service withdrawals from a plan; redemptions of shares as part of a plan termination or at the direction of the plan; redemptions of shares to pay fund or account fees; share or asset transfers or rollovers; reregistrations of shares within the same investment; conversions of shares from one share class to another in the same investment; and automated transactions executed through the Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service at Work managed account program. Note that your Plan and the issuers of your Plan s investments reserve the right to revise or terminate the exchange privilege (your ability to move money between investments), limit the amount of any exchange, or reject any exchange at any time, to the extent permitted by law. Keep in mind that restrictions are subject to change. Exercising Voting, Tender, and Similar Rights You have the right to exercise voting, tender, and similar rights related to the following investments you may have in your Plan account.

They are often the largest component of retirement plan costs and are paid by all shareholders of the investment option. Typically, asset-based fees are reflected as a percentage of assets invested in the option and often are referred to as an expense ratio. You may multiply the expense ratio by your balance in the investment option to estimate the annual expenses associated with your holdings. Asset-based fees are deducted from an investment option s assets, thereby reducing its investment return. Fee levels can vary widely among investment options, depending in part on the type of investment option, its management (including whether it is active or passive), and the risks and complexities of the option s strategy.
