WHEREAS, the Company reserved the right to amend the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to provide that (1) in the event an employee becomes a participant under the Plan on or after January 1, 2014, the participant's deferral account(s) will be paid in an immediate lump sum if the aggregate balance of the participant's deferral account(s) at retirement is less than or equal to $20,000, subject to special rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that apply with respect to a participant who is a 'specified employee'; and (2) in the event of the death of an employee who becomes a participant under the Plan on or after January 1, 2014, the balance of the participant's deferral account(s) will be paid to the participant's primary beneficiary in an immediate lump sum provided that the aggregate balance of the participant's deferral account(s) is less than or equal to
$20,000 upon the participant's death.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of January 1, 2014, the Plan is amended in the
r following respects:
