2. A new subsection (g) to Section 7.3 of the Plan is added to read in its
entirety as follows:

“(g) Notwithstanding Section 7.3(c), pursuant to a transition rule issued by the
Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 409A, each Participant who had not
had a Separation From Service as of December 31, 2006 shall be permitted to
elect among the forms of distribution specified in Section 7.3(b) with respect
to distributions made on account of the Participant’s Retirement Date. The
elections under this Section 7.3(g) shall be made pursuant to rules prescribed
by the Committee, but shall in no event be made after December 31, 2006. If a
Participant does not make an election under this subsection (g), then the
Participant’s previous election among forms of distribution shall continue to
apply.”

3. Section 7.6 of the Plan is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“7.6 Withholding of Taxes. To the extent any distribution is subject to
withholding taxes, the Committee shall require, as a condition to the payment of
such distribution, that the taxes be withheld from such distribution. With
respect to amounts paid from the Trust, the Trustee shall deliver the withheld
amounts to the Company which shall pay over the withheld taxes as required by
law. The Committee may, but need not, allow the Participant to make payment to
the Company in the form of a check for such withholding taxes, and the Committee
may provide in its discretion for other methods of withholding acceptable to the
Company.”

FURTHER RESOLVED, officers of the Company, or any delegate of such person, be,
and each of them hereby is, authorized at any time and from time to time to do
and perform any and all acts or things, including, without limitation, the
execution and delivery any and all further agreements, documents, instruments or
papers of whatever kind or nature, which such officers or any of them may
consider necessary or desirable to effect the intent of any and all of the
foregoing resolutions, and the performance of such other acts and things by any
of such officers shall evidence conclusively and for all purposes that such
officer or officers considered the same to be necessary or desirable as
aforesaid and that such act or thing so done or performed was hereby authorized,
and that all such acts or things heretofore performed by the officers of this
Company are hereby ratified and approved.
