 16. Effective January 1,

be, of such Participant, unless such spouse or Domestic Partner had consented in writing to the designation of another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Each Participant who is married or in a domestic partnership may, from time to time, change his
designation of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries; provided, however, that the Participant may not change such designation without the written consent of his spouse or Domestic Partner, as the case may be. Any such written consent must satisfy the
requirements of Subsection 15.1(e).” 

  

	 	“(d)	In the event that a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or if for any reason such designation shall be legally ineffective, or if all
designated Beneficiaries predecease him or die simultaneously with him, distribution shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse or Domestic Partner, as the case may be; provided, however, that if there is no surviving spouse or
Domestic Partner, distribution shall be made to the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate.” 

  

	 	“(e)	The written consent described in Subsection 15.1(b) shall not be effective unless (i) the spouse or Domestic Partner, as the case may be, has consented in writing
to the designation of another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, (ii) such designation designates another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (or a form of benefits) which may not be changed without the written consent of the spouse or Domestic Partner, as
applicable (or the consent of the spouse or Domestic Partner expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the spouse or Domestic Partner), and (iii) the spouse’s or Domestic Partner’s
consent acknowledges the effect of such designation and is witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Such consent shall not be required if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of EBPAC that such consent may not be obtained
because there is no spouse or Domestic Partner, because the spouse or Domestic Partner cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulation.” 

  

	 	“(f)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless prior to the Participant’s death the Company has received satisfactory documentation of the domestic partnership, as provided
in Section 2.11A, the provisions of this Section 15.1 which relate to a Domestic Partner shall not apply.” 

 17.
Effective January 1, 2010, the first sentence of Section 15.2 of the Plan is amended by deleting the word “or” in the next to last place where it occurs therein and inserting the following at the end thereof:
