ARTICLE
XI





SECTION
415 LIMITATIONS





11.1Incorporation
of Section 415 by Reference.





(a)  In
General.  Code Section 415 generally limits annual benefits
payable under the Plan and accumulated benefit accruals under the Plan by
providing that such benefits and accruals may not exceed the lesser of $160,000
(as adjusted for cost of living increases after 2001) or 100 percent of the
Participant’s average Section 415(c)(3) compensation for his high three
years.  These limits must be adjusted if the Participant retires
before or after his Normal Retirement Date, receives his benefit in a form other
than a life annuity, has less than 10 years of service, has multiple annuity
starting dates  or has a retroactive annuity starting
date.





(b)  Incorporation of Section 415
by Reference.  The limitations and other provisions of Code
Section 415 and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to
annual benefits payable under the Plan and benefit accruals under the
Plan  are hereby incorporated by reference.





(c)  Required Aggregation of
Defined Benefit Plans.  If the benefits under this Plan must be
aggregated with benefits under another defined benefit plan for the purpose of
complying with Code Section 415, the benefits and benefit accruals of the plan
in which the Participant is most recently participating shall be frozen to the
extent necessary to comply with Code Section 415 on an aggregate
basis.  However, if such other plan is required to freeze benefits and
benefit accruals in accordance with this Section 11.1 but does not permit such
freezing of benefits and/or benefit accruals, then the benefits and benefit
accruals under this Plan shall be frozen to the extent necessary to comply with
Code Section 415.








(d)  Actuarial Assumptions Used
to Apply Dollar Limit.  For purposes of applying Code Section
415(b)(2)(E), references in that Code section to “the [interest] rate specified
in [or under] the plan” shall be deemed to be references to the Applicable
Interest Rate defined in Section 1.4.





(e)  Section 415(c)(3)
Compensation.  A Participant’s “compensation” taken into
account for purposes of applying Code Section 415 to benefit payments and
benefit accruals under the Plan shall be the Participant’s Code Section 3401(a)
wages within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.415(c)-2(d)(3)(Section
3401(a)wages).





(f)  Limitation
Year.  For purposes of applying Code Section 415 to the Plan,
the “limitation year” shall be the Plan Year.








IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument of
amendment has been executed by a duly authorize officer of the Corporation this
19th day of December, 2008, to be effective as of the date recited
herein.
