WHEREAS, Section 6.3 of the Plan reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time by action of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);
WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan to provide that future awards under the Plan will be made in the form of restricted stock units, with each unit being equal to one share of Common Stock;

(1)    The following new sentences shall be added to the end of Article IV of the Plan to read as follows:
“Effective on and after August 1, 2012, annual Awards may be made in the form of restricted stock units, with each such unit representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock.  An annual Award in the form of restricted stock units shall be made to Participants effective on or about August 1, 2012.  No other Award in the form of restricted stock units or restricted shares of Common Stock shall be made to Participants in calendar year 2012.  Awards in 2013 and subsequent calendar years shall be made on August 1st of each calendar year and shall be made in the form of restricted stock units unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines that such awards shall be made in the form of restricted shares of Common Stock.”
(2)    The first sentence of Section 5.7 shall be amended to read as follows:
“All of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall become free of restrictions imposed by this Article V and shall become non-forfeitable upon the earliest to occur of a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and related guidance) due to the following:”

(b)    Dividend Equivalents.  Each Participant shall have the right to dividend equivalents with respect to Awards of restricted stock units for the period beginning on the date the Award was granted and ending on the date shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Participant in settlement of such Award.

(c)    Voting Rights.  Participants shall not have the right to vote or execute proxies with respect to Awards in the form of restricted stock units.

(4)    All other provisions of the Plan shall remain the same and are hereby ratified.

ARTICLE IV
DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Section 4.01    Initial Deferral Elections by Participants.  Any Director of the Company may at any time elect to participate in the Plan and to have all, or such percentage as he may specify, of the Cash Compensation otherwise payable to him as a Director or Equity Compensation granted to him as a Director deferred and paid to him pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02 or Section 6.05, as applicable.  Such deferral election shall be made by notice in writing in a manner and form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be applicable only with respect to Cash Compensation and Equity Compensation for services performed after the end of the calendar year in which such deferral election is made and prior to the earlier of the effective date of a further deferral election pursuant to Section 4.02 herein or such Participant's Deferral Termination Date.  At the time of making such initial deferral election hereunder, a Director shall specify the portion, if any, of such Deferred Compensation that relates to Cash Compensation which will be (i) held subject to the interest payment provisions of ARTICLE V hereof or (ii) translated into Stock Equivalents in accordance with ARTICLE VI hereof.
Section 4.02    Subsequent Deferral Elections by Participants.  Subsequent to the initial deferral election by a Participant provided for in Section 4.01, a Participant may at any time make a subsequent deferral election in like manner to increase or decrease the percentage of his Cash Compensation or Equity Compensation to be deferred pursuant to the Plan and, with respect to Deferred Compensation that relates to Cash Compensation, to elect the portion of such Deferred Compensation and any Plan Earnings to be (i) held subject to the interest payment provisions of ARTICLE V hereof or (ii) translated into Stock Equivalents in accordance with ARTICLE VI hereof.  Any such subsequent deferral election shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such subsequent deferral election is made.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such subsequent deferral election shall effect a transfer of any amount credited, as of the first day of such calendar year, to either the Interest Bearing Account or the Stock Equivalents Account from such account to the other account.
Section 4.03    Establishment of Interest Bearing Accounts and Stock Equivalents Accounts.  For Participants who elect to defer Cash Compensation, there shall be established for each such Participant an account to be designated as such Participant's Interest Bearing Account and, where appropriate, an account to be designated as such Participant's Stock Equivalents Account.
Section 4.04    Allocations to Accounts.  Any Deferred Compensation relating to Cash Compensation earned by a Participant during a calendar quarter shall be credited to the Interest Bearing Account and/or Stock Equivalents Account of such Participant, as applicable, on the date any such amount is otherwise payable.  Any Deferred Compensation relating to a Participant's Equity Compensation shall be credited to the Stock Equivalents Account of such Participant on the date any such Equity Compensation would otherwise be payable to the Participant and no longer subject to forfeiture; provided, however, that any dividend equivalents to which a Participant is entitled under such Equity Compensation prior to the date such Equity Compensation would otherwise be payable or be forfeited shall be credited to the 

Participant's Stock Equivalents Account.  Any Plan Earnings shall be credited in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01 and 6.02, as applicable.
Section 4.05    Distribution Elections.  A Participant may elect, subject to the provisions of this Section and Sections 5.02 and 6.05, the form of distribution with respect to the Cash Compensation, Equity Compensation and Plan Earnings attributable thereto, deferred by the Participant and allocated to the Participant's Interest Bearing Account and Stock Equivalents Account, as applicable.  The distribution election is not required to be the same for each Account.  A Participant's distribution election under this Section shall be made in writing in a form authorized by the Administrator and shall be made at the time the Participant makes an initial deferral election under Section 4.01 or a subsequent deferral election under Section 4.02.  A Participant may elect distribution in the form of a lump sum, five equal annual installments or ten equal annual installments.  Absent any such distribution election by a Participant, the Participant's Interest Bearing Account and Stock Equivalents Account will be distributed in the form of a lump sum distribution.

ARTICLE V
INTEREST
Section 5.01    Interest.  A Participant's Interest Bearing Account shall be credited as of the end of each calendar quarter with an amount equivalent to interest for the number of days in such quarter (based on a calendar year of 365 days) at Citibank, N.A.'s prime rate for major corporate borrowers in effect on the first day of such calendar quarter applied to the balance of such account at the beginning of such calendar quarter.  (No amount credited to a Participant's Interest Bearing Account subsequent to the beginning of a calendar quarter shall bear interest during that calendar quarter.)  
Section 5.02    Distribution of Interest Bearing Accounts.  When a Participant's Deferral Termination Date occurs, the balance standing in such Participant's Interest Bearing Account at the end of the calendar quarter in which such date occurs (after crediting interest thereto in accordance with Section 5.01 herein) shall be distributed to such Participant in the form provided under Section 4.05 hereof.
Until payment is made, interest shall continue to accrue in the manner provided in Section 5.01.  All Plan Earnings accrued to the date of payment of any lump-sum or annual installment shall be paid in conjunction with such payment.  The lump-sum payment or the initial annual installment shall be distributed on the last business day of January next following the close of the calendar year in which the Participant's Deferral Termination Date occurs.  The remaining installments, if any, shall be distributed at annual intervals thereafter.
If a Participant's Deferral Termination Date occurs by reason of his death or if he dies after his Deferral Termination Date, but prior to receipt of all distributions provided for in this Section, all cash distributable hereunder shall be distributed in a lump sum to such Participant's estate or personal representative as soon as administratively feasible following such Participant's death.

ARTICLE VI
STOCK EQUIVALENTS
Section 6.01    Stock Equivalents Accounts.  With respect to Deferred Compensation that relates to Equity Compensation, the number of Stock Equivalents to be credited to a Participant's Stock Equivalents Account in accordance with Section 4.04 shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock relating to such Equity Compensation.  With respect to Deferred Compensation that relates to Cash Compensation, the number of Stock Equivalents, or fractions thereof, to be credited to a Participant's Stock Equivalents Account in accordance with Section 4.04 shall be determined by dividing the amount of Deferred Compensation and Plan Earnings to be allocated to such account pursuant to the Participant's specifications given in accordance with Article IV by the Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day next preceding the last business day of the calendar quarter specified in Section 4.04, and the number of Stock Equivalents, so determined, shall be credited to the Stock Equivalents Account established for the Participant.
Section 6.02    Cash and Property Dividend Credits.  Additional credits shall be made to a Participant's Stock Equivalents Account throughout the period of such Participant's participation in the Plan, and thereafter until all distributions to which the Participant is entitled under Section 6.05 or ARTICLE VIII shall have been made, in amounts equal to the Plan Earnings consisting of the cash or fair market value of any dividends or distributions declared and made with respect to the Common Stock payable in cash, securities issued by the Company (other than the Common Stock but including any such securities convertible into Common Stock) or other property which the Participant would have received from time to time had he been the owner on the record dates for the payment of such dividends of the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Equivalents in his Stock Equivalents Account on such dates.  Each such credit shall be effected as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution.
Section 6.03    Stock Dividend Credits.  Additional credits shall be made to a Participant's Stock Equivalents Account throughout the period of his participation in the Plan, and thereafter until all distributions to which the Participant is entitled under Section 6.05 or ARTICLE VIII shall have been made, of a number of Stock Equivalents equal to the number of shares (including fractional shares) of the Common Stock to which the Participant would have been entitled from time to time as Common Stock dividends had such Participant been the owner on the record dates for the payments of such stock dividends of the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Equivalents credited to his Stock Equivalents Account on such dates.  Such additional credits shall be effected as of the end of the calendar quarter in which payment of such stock dividend is made.
Section 6.04    Recapitalization.  If, as a result of a split or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or other recapitalization or reorganization, the number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock is increased or decreased or all or a portion of the outstanding Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into other securities issued by the Company (including without limitation securities convertible into Common Stock) or other property, the number of Stock Equivalents credited to a Participant's Stock Equivalents Account shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be 

equitably adjusted to give effect to such recapitalization or reorganization (taking into account the fair market value of any securities or other property for which the Common Stock was exchanged or into which it was converted) as if the Participant had owned of record on the effective date of such recapitalization or reorganization a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Equivalents credited to his Stock Equivalents Account immediately prior thereto.  To the extent that any such adjustment is not reasonably practicable, the Board of Directors shall give consideration to amending the Plan pursuant to ARTICLE IX in order to give effect to the purpose of the Plan and, if no such amendments can be effected or are considered desirable, to terminating the Plan pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.
Section 6.05    Distributions from Stock Equivalent Account After Participant's Deferral  Termination Date.  When a Participant's Deferral Termination Date occurs, the Company shall become obligated to make the distributions prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (b) below.  At the time of any distribution, each Stock Equivalent to be distributed shall be converted into one share of Common Stock and such share shall be distributed to the Participant.  Any fraction of a Stock Equivalent to be distributed shall be converted into an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of one share of Common Stock on the trading day next preceding the date of distribution multiplied by such fraction and such cash shall be distributed to the Participant.
(a)    Distribution shall be made in the form provided under Section 4.05 hereof.  Until payment is made, Plan Earnings shall continue to be credited in the manner provided in Section 6.02.  All Plan Earnings accrued to the date of any lump-sum distribution or annual installment shall be paid in conjunction with such payment.  The lump-sum or the initial annual installment shall be distributed on the last business day of January next following the close of the calendar year in which the Participant's Deferral Termination Date occurs.  The remaining installments, if any, shall be distributed at annual intervals thereafter.
(b)    If a Participant's Deferral Termination Date shall occur by reason of his death or if he shall die after his Deferral Termination Date but prior to receipt of all distributions provided for in this Section, all Stock Equivalents, or the undistributed balance thereof, shall be distributed to such Participant's estate or personal representative as soon as administratively feasible following such Participant's death.

ARTICLE VII
NATURE OF PLAN
The adoption of this Plan and any setting aside of amounts by the Company with which to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust.  Legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall remain in the Company, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no security or other interest in such funds.  Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company, present and future.  This provision shall not require the Company to set aside any funds, but the Company may set aside such funds if it chooses to do so.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
The Board of Directors may, without the consent of Participants or their beneficiaries, amend the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment may deprive a Participant of the amounts allocated to his or her Accounts or be retroactive in effect to the prejudice of any Participant.
