	8.	 	Section 10.7 is amended to read as follows effective January 1, 2007:

     10.7 Direct Rollovers.

     (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise

in the manner prescribed by the Pension Plan Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible
Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the

	9.	 	Article XVII is amended to read as follows effective October 1, 2007:

AMENDMENT

     The Plan or any portion of the Plan may be amended at any time by action of the Board of
Directors. However, no amendment shall be made at any time, the effect of which would be:

     (a) To cause any assets of the Trust Fund, at any time prior to the satisfaction of
all liabilities with respect to participants and their beneficiaries in the Plan, to be
used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of such participants
and their beneficiaries;

     (b) To increase the duties and liabilities of the Trustee without its written consent.

     (c) No amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a Participant’s
accrued benefit (within the meaning of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code) with respect to
service performed prior to the effective date of the amendment.

     (d) No amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of eliminating or reducing an early
retirement benefit or a subsidy that continues after retirement, or eliminating an optional
form of benefit.

     For purposes of this Section, a Plan amendment that has the effect of (a) eliminating or
reducing an early retirement benefit or retirement-type subsidy, or (b) eliminating an optional
form, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the amendment shall be

Page 8 of Exhibit 10.3

 

treated as reducing a Participant’s Accrued Benefit. In the case of a retirement-type
subsidy, the preceding sentence shall apply only with respect to a Participant who satisfies
(either before or after the amendment) the pre-amendment conditions for the subsidy.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the Accrued Benefit of a Participant, early retirement benefit,
retirement-type subsidy, or optional form of benefit may be reduced to the extent permitted under
Code section 412(c)(8) (as it read before the first day of the 2008 Plan Year) or Code section
412(d)(2) (as it reads for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008), or to the extent
permitted under the Sections 1.411(d)-3 and 1.411(d)-4 of the U. S. Treasury Department
regulations.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan or any portion thereof may be
amended at any time, if necessary, to conform to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code or any amendment thereto or regulations issued
pursuant thereto. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority to amend the Plan, as set
forth herein, to any person, committee, or other entity, subject to such terms or limitations which
the Board, in its complete discretion, may impose.

     Effective August 9, 2006, in the event that the Plan is amended to include a vesting schedule
that is less favorable than the Plan’s previous vesting schedule, each Participant who has had his
Vesting Percentage computed under the more favorable vesting schedule shall (i) have the vesting
percentage of his Accrued Benefit (accrued as of the date of the amendment) computed in accordance
with the vesting schedule prior to the amendment and (ii) have the vesting percentage of his
Accrued Benefit (accrued after

Page 9 of Exhibit 10.3

 

the date of the amendment) computed in accordance with the vesting schedule adopted by the
amendment.

     If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or
indirectly affects the computation of a Participant’s nonforfeitable benefit, each Participant with
at least three (3) years of Cumulative Service with the Company may elect, within a reasonable
period after the adoption of the amendment or change, to have his nonforfeitable benefit computed
under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change. The period during which the election
may be made shall commence at the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made, and shall end
on the latest of:

     (A) sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted,

     (B) sixty (60) days after the amendment becomes effective, or

     (C) sixty (60) days after the Participant is issued written notice of
amendment by the Company.

	10.	 	Section 19.15 is amended to add the following language to the end thereof effective January
1, 2007:

     Effective for deaths on and after January 1, 2007, for purposes of determining Vesting Service
or any other additional benefit (other than service used to determine the Participant’s Accrued
Benefit) provided under the Plan, a Participant who dies while performing qualified military
service (as defined in Code section 414(u)) shall be deemed to have resumed employment with the
Employer on the day immediately preceding his death and to have terminated employment on account of
his death.

	11.	 	A new Article XXII is added to read as follows effective October 1, 2008.

Page 10 of Exhibit 10.3

 

LIMITATIONS BASED ON FUNDED STATUS

     24.1 Limitations Based on Funded Status of the Plan.

     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall
apply as required by Code section 436 effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1,
2008, except to the extent the exception under Code section 436(d)(4) applies:

     (a) In the event the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan
Year is less than 60 percent, benefit accruals shall cease during the period benefit
accruals are restricted under the provisions of Code section 436(e). However, in
determining whether benefit accruals will cease under this subsection for calendar year
2009, the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for 2008 shall be substituted for
the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for 2009 in the preceding sentence, if
greater.

     (b) In the event the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan
Year falls below the threshold defined under Code section 436(d)(1) and/or (3), the Trustee
shall, as directed by the Plan Administrator, cease payment of any prohibited payment
during the period specified in, and to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions
of Code section 436(d).

     (c) In no event shall a prohibited payment be paid during any period the Employer is a
debtor in a case under Title 11, United States Code, or similar federal or state law, to
the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Code section 436(d)(2).

     (d) In no event shall an amendment that has the effect of increasing liabilities of
the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new

Page 11 of Exhibit 10.3

 

benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits
become nonforfeitable become effective during the period such amendment would violate the
provisions of Code section 436(c).

     (e) If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the
Plan is not available because of the application of Code section 436(d)(1) or (2), the
Participant or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be eligible to elect another form of
benefit available under the Plan or to defer payment to a later date (to the extent
permitted under applicable qualification requirements).

     (f) If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the
Plan is not available because of the application of Code section 436(d)(3), a Participant
or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be eligible to defer his entire payment to a later
date (to the extent permitted under applicable qualification requirements) or to bifurcate
the benefit into unrestricted and restricted portions. If such Participant or Beneficiary
elects to bifurcate the benefit, the Participant or Beneficiary shall be eligible to elect,
with respect to the unrestricted portion of the benefit, any optional form otherwise
available under the Plan with respect to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s entire benefit
and in such a case, if the Participant or Beneficiary elects payment of the unrestricted
portion of the benefit in the form of a prohibited payment, the Participant or Beneficiary
shall be eligible to elect:

     (i) to receive payment of the restricted portion of the benefit in any
optional form of benefit under the Plan that is not a prohibited payment and that
would have been permitted with respect to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s entire
benefit, or

Page 12 of Exhibit 10.3

 

     (ii) to defer commencement of the restricted portion of his benefit until the
restrictions on prohibited payments lapse and receive said amount in any optional
form of payment available under the Plan, but in either case only if the Plan
Administrator has determined in a consistent and nondiscriminatory manner that
Participants and Beneficiaries may defer only the restricted portion of his
benefit. Such election shall be subject to any other applicable qualification
requirements and shall be made in accordance with all Plan rules regarding
elections of forms of benefit. The deferred commencement date of the restricted
portion shall be treated as a new Annuity Starting Date.

     For purposes of this Section, the terms “adjusted funding target attainment percentage,”
“prohibited payment,” “unrestricted portion of the benefit,” and “restricted portion of the
benefit” shall have the meanings given under Code section 436, the regulations thereunder, and any
applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance.

     In the event that the provisions of this Section 24.1 or any part thereof cease to be required
by law as a result of subsequent legislation or otherwise, this Section or any applicable part
thereof shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendments to the Plan.

     24.2 Limitations on Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefit.

     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 2008, if a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to an
“unpredictable contingent event benefit” (as defined under Code section 436(b)) with respect to any
event occurring during any Plan Year, such unpredictable contingent event

Page 13 of Exhibit 10.3

 

benefit shall not be provided to such Participant or Beneficiary if the Plan’s adjusted
funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 24.1) for such Plan Year is less than
60 percent or would be less than 60 percent taking into account such occurrence; provided, however,
that such unpredictable contingent event benefit shall become payable if and when the Plan meets
the exemption under Code section 436(b)(2).

     In the event that the provisions of this Section 24.2 or any part thereof cease to be required
by law as a result of subsequent legislation or otherwise, this Section or any applicable part
thereof shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendments to the Plan.

	12.	 	A new Schedule D-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference is added to the
end of the Plan to read as follows effective October 1, 2008:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, American Pacific Corporation has caused this instrument to be executed this
