In consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement, effective as of the date first set forth above, as follows:





	
1.

	
By deleting the existing Section 1.1 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:











	
“1.1

	
AGREEMENT means this Executive Supplemental Income Agreement.”











	
2.

	
By deleting the existing Section 1.13 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:











	
“1.13

	
OFFICER’S LIABILITY ACCOUNT means the Liability Account as defined in the Officer’s Benefit Statement.”









	
3.

	
By deleting the existing Section 3.2 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:







 



	
“3.2

	
DISABILITY.  If the Officer becomes subject to a Disability while employed with the Employer or suffers a Disability from an accident or illness occurring while employed with the Employer, but prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age, the Disability Benefit shall be payable to the Officer and/or Beneficiary according to the provisions of Article IV.  The Officer and/or Beneficiary will not be entitled to any other Benefits if the Disability Benefit becomes payable.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.6, 2.2, 3.5 and 4.2(c), no Disability Benefit shall be payable with respect to a Disability of the Officer attributable to an accident or illness occurring on or after September 23, 2011.”












  





  











  






 








	
4.

	
By deleting the existing Section 3.3 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:







 



	
“3.3

	
PAYMENT OF EMPLOYMENT TAXES.  Any and all Benefits payable under the Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of the Employer’s tax withholding obligations under Sections 3101 and 3401 of Code.  Payments due under the Agreement may be accelerated to pay, where applicable, such tax withholding obligations; however any such  accelerated payments shall not exceed the amount of the such tax withholding obligations and shall be made as a payment directly to taxing authorities pursuant to the applicable withholding provisions.  Any payments pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall reduce the Benefits otherwise payable to the Officer pursuant to the Agreement.”

The Beneficiary will not be entitled to the Salary Continuation Benefit if the Officer and/or the Beneficiary is entitled to or receiving the Retirement Benefit or Disability Benefit.”









	
6.

	
By deleting the existing Section 3.5 in its entirety and substituting therefor the following:







 



	
“3.5

However, in the event of a Change in Control, the Benefits payable to the Officer shall be no less than the amount reflected in the Officer’s Liability Account at the time of the Change in Control, together with future interest accruals on such recorded balance.  In the event of the Officer’s termination of employment following a Change in Control but prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age or death, the Change in Control Benefit, as described in the Officer’s Benefit Statement, shall be payable as set forth in the Officer’s Benefit Statement.”













	
7.

	
By deleting the second and third sentences of Section 4.2(c).







 



	
8.

	
By adding new Section 4.4, as follows:







 



	
“4.4

	
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, POSSIBLE DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENTS.  The terms ‘employment,’ ‘termination of employment,’ and similar terminology used in this Agreement means a ‘separation from service’ within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of tax on the Officer under Section 409A of the Code, any payments that are otherwise payable to the Officer within the first six (6) months following the effective date of the Officer’s termination of employment, shall be suspended and paid as soon as practicable following the end of the six-month period following such effective date if, immediately prior to the Officer’s termination of employment, the Officer is determined to be a Specified Employee.  All payments of benefits under this Agreement shall accrue from the date of the Officer’s termination of employment, to the extent not then paid due to this Section. Any payments suspended by operation of this Section shall be paid as a lump sum on the first (1st) business day following the end of such six-month period.  For purposes of this Section, the term ‘Specified Employee’ means a key employee (as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5)) of any member of the Service Recipient, any stock of which is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise as of the date of the Officer’s termination of employment. For this purpose, the Officer is a key employee if the Officer meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding Code Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the twelve (12) month period ending on December 31.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Officer is a key employee determined under the preceding sentence, the Officer will be deemed to be a Specified Employee for the period commencing as of April 1 following such December 31 and through the succeeding March 31 or as otherwise required by Code Section 409A.  Also for purposes of this Section, the term ‘Service Recipient’ means the Employer and each business entity that, together with the Employer, constitutes the ‘service recipient’ as defined in Code Section 409A.”

If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period.  In no event shall the extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days (thirty (30) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Officer becoming subject to a Disability) from the end of such initial period.

The Employer may, at any time, terminate the Agreement except that no Agreement termination may reduce the Officer’s Liability Account.  Except as provided in this Section 8.1, the termination of the Agreement shall not cause a distribution of any Benefits.  Rather, after such termination, Benefit distributions, if any, will be made in accordance with Article 4.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 8.1, the Employer may elect to terminate the Agreement under any circumstances permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).  In any such event, the Employer shall distribute the Officer’s Liability Account, determined as of the date of the termination of the Agreement, to the Officer in a lump sum at the earliest date permitted under such Treasury guidance.”
