22. DISTRIBUTION RULES (previously Method of Payment). Effective January 1, 2009, Section 5.2 shall
be amended to read in full as follows (this Section takes the place of Section 5.5 prior to the

          5.2 Distribution Rules. The Participant shall make a distribution election with
respect to Participant’s deferred compensation for each Plan Year. The Participant may elect to
receive distribution of a Participant’s deferred compensation
for a Plan Year in (i) a single lump
sum, or (ii) installments paid over five (5)-year, ten (10)-year, fifteen (15)-year, or twenty
(20)-year period. The distribution election shall be effective upon receipt (as determined by the
BAC) and shall be irrevocable as of the December 31 prior to the Plan Year to which the
distribution election applies. In the case of a Participant who enters into a Deferred
Compensation Agreement as provided under Section 3.1(b), the distribution election shall be
irrevocable as of the earlier of (i) the last day of the thirty (30) day period, and (ii) the date
deferrals commence with respect to the Participant.





     (a) Distribution Upon Separation from Service. If a Participant has a Separation,
the Participant’s benefit will be paid according to the Participant’s distribution elections.
If the Participant has elected a single lump sum for a Plan Year, the Participant’s deferred
compensation for that Plan Year (as adjusted for earnings or losses) shall be paid on the date
that is thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Participant has
elected installments over a period of years for a Plan Year, the first installment of the
Participant’s deferred compensation for that Plan Year shall be paid on the date that is thirty
(30) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service, and each subsequent installment shall
be paid on the anniversary of the first payment to the Participant. Installment amounts shall
be determined by taking the amount of the Participant’s deferred compensation for a Plan Year
(as adjusted for earnings and losses) and dividing it by the number of remaining installment
distributions.




     (b) Default Election. If a Participant fails to make a distribution election for a
Plan Year, the Participant’s deferred compensation for the Plan Year shall be paid in a single
lump sum on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service.




     (c) Death. If a Participant dies prior to the payment of the Participant’s entire
benefit under the Plan, the Participant’s entire Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to
the Participant’s beneficiary in a single lump sum. The distribution will be paid as of the
last day of the month following the date that is four (4) months after the date of the
Participant’s death.




     (d) Distribution of Shares. The portion of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation
Account that reflects a deemed investment in the Company stock fund shall (unless otherwise
determined by the Committee) be distributed in Shares, except that any deemed fractional
Shares shall be paid in cash.

23. COURT ORDERED DISTRIBUTIONS. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 5.4 shall be amended to change
“who” to read “whose Deferred Compensation Account”.



24. DISTRIBUTION UPON UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY (previously Hardship Distributions). Effective
January 1, 2009, Section 5.5 shall be amended to read in full as follows (this Section takes the
place of Section 5.2 prior to the amendment and, therefore, cross references to Section 5.2 shall
be changed to Section 5.5):




          5.5 Distribution Upon Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a
distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. To request such a distribution, the Participant
must submit a request and supporting information to the BAC. If the Participant’s request is
approved, either as an initial request or by the Committee on appeal, the amount necessary to
satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency (including the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, and
local income taxes on the amount) shall be paid in a single lump sum on the date that is thirty
(30) days after the date of the determination the Participant has experienced an Unforeseeable
Emergency. The amount necessary to make the payment shall be deducted from the Participant’s
oldest deferred compensation amounts contributed to the Plan (and any earnings on such
contributions), starting with the first year the Participant participated in the Plan and moving
forward through each subsequent year until a sufficient amount is deducted to pay the amount of the
distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency.



25. DISTRIBUTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS (previously Distribution on Plan Termination). Effective for
payments made on and after January 1, 2009, Section 5.7 shall be amended to read in full as follows:




          5.7 Distribution of Small Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article V, if on the date of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan and under all of the Company’s
elective account balance deferred compensation plans (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and
applicable guidance thereunder) is not greater than the applicable dollar limit under Code
Section 402(g)(1)(B) (as adjusted from time to time), the Participant’s benefit and benefits under
all of the Company’s elective account balance deferred compensation plans (within the meaning of
Code Section 409A) may be paid in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively feasible
after the Participant’s Separation from Service.



26. RIGHT TO WITHHOLD TAXES. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 5.9 shall be amended (i) so that
the term “distribution” is changed to “distribution or payment”, and (ii) the term “federal” is
changed to “Federal”.

Committee of the Board of Directors, reserves the right at any time and from time to time, whether
prospectively, retroactively, or both, to terminate, modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or
all provisions of the Plan, without notice to any person affected by this Plan. This

power
includes the right at any time and for any reason deemed sufficient by it to terminate or curtail
the benefits of this Plan with regard to persons expecting to receive benefits in the future and/or
persons already receiving benefits at the time of such action. No modification of the terms of
this Plan shall be effective unless it is adopted or ratified by the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. No oral representation concerning the
interpretation or effect of this Plan shall be effective to amend the Plan. All of the power and
authority granted to the Company pursuant to this Section may also be exercised by the BAC, except
the BAC may not amend the Plan in a manner that materially increases and decreases the benefit of a
senior executive officer of the Company (unless the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee explicitly delegate this authority to the BAC).



29. TERMINATION (previously “Termination After a Change in Control”). Effective January 1, 2009,
Section 9.2 shall be amended to read in full as follows:




          9.2 Termination. The Company, by action of its Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, reserves the right at any time to terminate the Plan. If the
plan is terminated, the plan termination shall comply with Code Section 409A. A plan termination
may result in a change in the time and form of distribution under the Plan, but no termination
shall reduce the benefits accrued prior to the date of the termination.



30. INFORMATION. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 10.1 shall be amended (i) to delete “post

in full as follows:




          10.9 Internal Revenue Code Status. The Plan is maintained as a nonqualified deferred
compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Employer nor any of its officers, directors, agents or Affiliates shall be obligated, directly or
indirectly, to any Participant or any other person for any taxes, penalties, interest or like
amounts that may be imposed on the Participant or other person on account of any amounts under this
Plan or on account of any failure to comply with the Code.

shall be added that reads in full as follows:




          10.10 Choice of Law. Except to the extent that federal law is controlling, the Plan
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota (except that
the state law will be applied without regard to any choice of law provisions). The Participant,
the Participant’s Beneficiaries, and any other person claiming a benefit shall only have recourse
against the Employer.
