The default Distribution Event shall be the earlier of the Participant's death or Normal Retirement Date."

Section 5.2(d) of the Plan shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:
"Small Distributions. Any contrary provision in this SERP notwithstanding, and regardless of the election by the Participant, if the lump sum value of a Participant's SERP Benefit (using the actuarial basis for lump sums specified in Appendix A) and interest in all arrangements that are treated as having been deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under § 1.409A-1(c)(2) is less than the applicable limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the 2016 calendar year, the SERP Benefit shall be paid in one lump sum within ninety (90) days following December 1, 2016. This lump-sum payment will result in the termination and liquidation of the entire amount of the Participant's interest in the Plan."

Section 5.3(c) of the Plan shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:
"Modifications to Timing and Form of Distribution. After the initial distribution election period described in (b) above, a Participant may only modify the timing of payment of his or her SERP Benefit by submitting a properly completed Distribution Election Form, in accordance with Sections 5.2 and 5.3, that further meets the below requirements:
