The remaining paragraphs in Section 4.3 of the plan shall be re-designated accordingly.


		
	3.
	Part I, Article 4, Section 4.7, the first paragraph of the Section, preceding subsection (a) is hereby amended as follows:




"Except as described in (a) through (e) immediately below, Grandfathered Benefits shall be payable in the same form(s) and at the same times as benefits are payable under the Retirement Plan.

	Part I, Article 4A, Section 4A.3, the second paragraph is hereby amended to read as follows:




"A form requesting that Grandfathered Benefits under this Plan be paid in the form of an Alternative Distribution must be made in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph. The form must be submitted by the Participant to the Committee no later than the day before the Participant's Retirement date. For Participants who are separating from service with the Company or an Employer before they are Benefit Eligible, the form requesting an Alternative Distribution must be submitted by the Participant to the Committee no later than 12 months before the Distribution Date indicated on the election form. All requests must be in writing, signed by the Participant, and follow the format prescribed by the Committee. On the request form the Participant must also designate (i) the mode of payment requested and (ii) the Participant's Retirement or Distribution Date. A request form shall be deemed submitted by the Participant to the Committee on the day that such form is received by the Committee. Prior to the Participant's Retirement date, the request form can be revoked by the Participant. Any revocation must be in writing and comply with the procedures of the Committee. A request form submitted by the Participant shall become irrevocable and binding as to all elections and designations made by the Participant as of the Retirement date. In the event that a Participant's request form is not filed before his/her Retirement date, the Participant's Grandfathered Benefits will be paid in the same form as the benefits paid to the Participant under the Retirement Plan. For Participants who separate from service before they are Benefit Eligible, the request form shall become irrevocable and binding, as to all elections and designations, 12 months before the Distribution Date."


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be adopted in its name and behalf this 12th day of December, 2008, by its officer thereunto duly authorized.
