1.

Effective as of April 1, 2013, Section 3.1 (“Vesting”) is amended to add the
following paragraphs at the end of the current Section 3.1:

“If the Committee or MDCC determines in accordance with this Section 3.1 to
accelerate the vesting of any benefit under the Plan, any such accelerated
vesting will be subject to such additional conditions and restrictions as the
Committee or MDCC may require, including the requirement that a Participant
execute a release of claims (“Release”) (the form of which shall be approved by
the Committee) in consideration for the accelerated vesting. In the event that a
Release is required, such Release must be executed, and any time for
consideration or revocation of the Release (the “Consideration Period”) must
have expired within the time specified by the Committee or else any accelerated
vesting or any other benefit contingent upon such Release shall be forfeited.

If a payment under the Plan, in accordance with Section IV becomes payable
during the Consideration Period for a Release and if such Consideration period
begins in one calendar year and extends into the subsequent calendar year, then
any payment of benefits under the Plan will be delayed until the end of such
Consideration Period or, if earlier, until after the start of the subsequent
calendar year.”
