“APPENDIX D
2008 TRANSITION RELIEF
Pursuant to transition rules under Code section 409A, during a specified period
in 2008, Participants who had previously elected in 2008 to defer amounts that
would otherwise be payable in 2009 may make a new election with respect to such
amounts. Such an election must provide for a lower deferral percentage for each
compensation category than the originally elected percentage. And if a
Participant makes such an election, the Participant may also make a new
distribution election (in accordance with the Plan’s distribution rules in
Section 6.1) for such amounts.”

officer on this 19 day of Dec., 2008.
