4.    Section 3.5 (“Waiver of Participant Salary Deferral or Payments”) is amended by modifying the first sentence to read, in its entirety, as follows:
If a Participant becomes totally disabled before attaining age sixty-five, and if such total disability continues for more than two (2) months, such Participant shall not be required to defer a portion of his salary pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 or make the payments provided for in Sections 3.2 or 3.3, beginning with the third month following the date of such total disability, nor thereafter for as long as such total disability continues.

4.5 Re-employment after Retirement. In the event a Participant Retires from the Company and subsequently returns to active employment with the Company, the Participant’s benefits shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, as applicable, without regard to such return to employment.
7.    A new Section 4.9 is added to read as follows:
4.9 Default Payment Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Program or any Plan Agreement, payment of a Participant’s benefits pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 will begin on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Retirement, unless a Participant’s Plan Agreement provides for a specified alternative payment date as of December 31, 2008.

To the extent payments are delayed pursuant to this Section, the Participant shall receive a make-up payment on the date benefit payments commence equal to the payments that would have been made sooner if this provision did not apply, plus interest.
9.    A new Section 4.11 is added to read as follows:
4.11 Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Program or any Plan Agreement, if a Participant experiences an “unforeseeable emergency” (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A and authoritative IRS guidance thereunder), the Participant may petition the Committee to (i) cancel any deferrals required to be made by the Participant and, if such cancellation is insufficient to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency, receive a partial or full payout from the Program. The payout shall not exceed the lesser of the present value of the Participant’s total benefit, determined as of the date the payment is made, or the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). If the Committee determines that an unforeseeable emergency exists, payment pursuant to this Section shall be made thirty (30) days after such date.

14.    A new Section 15.10 is added to read as follows:
15.10 Section 409A. This Program, including each Participant’s Plan Agreement, is intended to avoid any “plan failures” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(1).

AMENDMENT TO THE
EXECUTIVE SECURITY PROGRAM OF
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP, INC.
This amendment to the Executive Security Program of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., as Amended and Restated January 1, 1983, as described below, is intended to (1) permit monthly distributions due to disability (over a period of sixty months); and (2) clarify that pursuant to applicable Treasury regulations, the definition of “disability” used to determine whether a participant’s deferrals may be canceled due to disability is different from the definition of disability used to determine whether a participant is eligible for distributions due to disability.
The changes in this Amendment are effective January 1, 2009.
1.    Section 3.5 (“Waiver of Participant Salary Deferral or Payments”) is amended by modifying the final paragraph to read, in its entirety, as follows:
For purposes of Article III, the determination of what constitutes total disability and the cessation thereof shall be made by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and such determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that any cancellation of a Participant’s deferrals due to disability must be made in accordance with Code Section 409A and authoritative IRS guidance thereunder, to the extent such guidance addresses the cancellation of deferrals due to disability. For example, Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(xii), as issued in 2007, defines “disability” for this purpose as “any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the service provider’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months.”
See Section 4.12 for provisions governing distributions to Participants who suffer a Permanent and Total Disability.
2.    Section 4.10 (“Specified Employees”) is modified by replacing “unless the Participant dies or experiences an unforeseeable emergency during the six-month period” with “unless the Participant dies or experiences either an unforeseeable emergency or a Total and Permanent Disability during the six-month period.”
3.    A new Section 4.12 is added to read as follows:
4.12    Total and Permanent Disability. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Program or any Plan Agreement, in the event that the Committee determines that a Participant has suffered a Total and Permanent Disability (as defined below) before the Participant’s Retirement benefits commence, the Participant shall receive Retirement benefits in accordance with this Article IV as if he or she had Retired as of the date of the Committee’s determination, without regard to the requirement in Section 4.10 that payments begin at least six months after the Participant’s Retirement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IV, a Participant who receives monthly benefits pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall receive his or her benefits in the form of monthly installments over a period of 60 months.
For purposes of Article IV, “Total and Permanent Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in Code Section 409A and authoritative IRS guidance thereunder, to the extent such guidance addresses eligibility for distributions due to disability. For example, Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(4)(i), as issued in 2007, provides that a Participant is “disabled” for this purpose if the Participant is either (a) “unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity” or (b) “receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the [Participant’s] employer,” in either case due to a “medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.”
See Section 3.5 for provisions governing the cancellation of a Participant’s deferrals due to disability.
4.    Section 13.4 (“Committee Rules and Powers—General”) is amended by modifying the third sentence to read as follows:
The Committee shall have the exclusive right to determine whether a Participant is totally disabled, for purposes of Article III, or has a Total and Permanent Disability, for purposes of Article IV, with either or both 

determinations to be made on the basis of such medical and/or other evidence that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require.
