W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Plan as such Plan is currently in effect; and 
 WHEREAS, Section 9.1 of the Plan authorizes the Company, through its Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) to amend the Plan at any time; 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Plan is amended as follows: 

*********** 

1. 

Effective as of April 1, 2013, Section 3.1 (“Vesting”) is amended to add the following paragraphs at the end of the
current Section 3.1: 
 “If the Committee or MDCC determines in accordance with this Section 3.1 to accelerate
the vesting of any benefit under the Plan, any such accelerated vesting will be subject to such additional conditions and restrictions as the Committee or MDCC may require, including the requirement that a Participant execute a release of claims
(“Release”) (the form of which shall be approved by the Committee) in consideration for the accelerated vesting. In the event that a Release is required, such Release must be executed, and any time for consideration or revocation of the
Release (the “Consideration Period”) must have expired within the time specified by the Committee or else any accelerated vesting or any other benefit contingent upon such Release shall be forfeited. 

If a payment under the Plan, in accordance with Section IV becomes payable during the Consideration Period for a Release and if such
Consideration period begins in one calendar year and extends into the subsequent calendar year, then any payment of benefits under the Plan will be delayed until the end of such Consideration Period or, if earlier, until after the start of the
subsequent calendar year.” 







 2. 
 Effective as of April 1, 2013, Section 3.2(c)(i) is amended by replacing it as follows: 
 Vested benefits determined as of the Executive’s separation from service under the Retirement Account Feature of the Qualified Plan (including Supplemental Contributions and Supplemental
Contributions—Transition accounts determined as of the Executive’s separation from service date plus accrued Supplemental Contributions and Supplemental Contributions—Transition on eligible pay earned from the year prior to the

November 1;
