no new employees or other individuals will be eligible to participate in the Plan or otherwise become Participants as contemplated by Article III of the Plan.

longer be permitted to (i) defer Compensation to be earned or paid during calendar 2012 or thereafter under the Plan, or (ii) make new deferral elections under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deferral elections made pursuant
to the terms of the Plan, including any Agreement entered in connection therewith, prior to December 8, 2011, will continue to be honored even if such election results in the deferral of Compensation that would otherwise be earned or paid
during calendar 2012. 
 Section 12.4 Re-Deferrals. Any amounts previously deferred into the Plan by
Participants as of January 1, 2012, will remain deferred in accordance with existing deferral elections, including any related Agreements, and may, if applicable, be re-deferred in accordance with the terms of the Plan, including, without
limitation, the Agreement procedures set forth in Article III of the Plan.

(b) No Further Amendment. Except as set forth in this Article XII, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect, provided that
the balance of the Plan shall be deemed revised, mutatis mutandis, to reflect the terms of this Article XII.”
