2. The following new Section 5.4(i) shall be added to the Plan to read as follows:

Effective for Plan Years beginning before July 1, 2007, in the event the Annual Addition with respect to a
Participant for a Limitation Year exceeds the limitation provided in Section 14.1, after application of the provisions of Section 14.4, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s
annual compensation, or a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals under Code Section 402(g)(3), any excess amounts contributed by a Participating Company on behalf of such Participant for any Plan Year (other than
Before-Tax Contributions) shall be held unallocated in a suspense account for the Plan Year and applied, to the extent possible, first to reduce the Participating Company contributions for the Plan Year, and next, to reduce the Participating Company
