4.Section 5.1(b) shall be amended in its entirety as follows:
(b) New Participant. Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), a person who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the beginning of a Plan Year shall be entitled to make an election under this Plan within thirty days after the date he becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Any election shall be applicable solely to Fees and Stock Grants related to services performed subsequent to the date that the election is filed; provided, however, that no portion of any retainer fee may be deferred for the quarter in which such election is made and only a pro-rata portion of a Stock Grant (based on the ratio of the number of days between the election date and the date on which the Stock Grant is scheduled to vest to the total number of days between the date the Stock Grant was awarded and the date on which it is scheduled to vest) may be deferred. A Participant shall not be entitled to make an election under this Section 5.1(b) in the event he is a participant in any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the same category that is maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary and that is required to be aggregated for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and regulations issued thereunder.

(b) Timing.
(1)Hypothetical Acquisitions. As long as the Company maintains a Rabbi Trust, the Company shall remit cash and/or Common Stock, as agreed to by the Committee and the trustee, representing the compensation deferred under this Plan to the trustee of the Rabbi Trust on a quarterly basis. The trustee shall acquire shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following its receipt of any

In general, it is contemplated that the Company shall remit compensation deferred to the trustee at the same time it remits a cash payment of Fees or settles a Stock Grant to any member of the Board who is eligible for but does not otherwise elect to participate in the Plan, or within ten business days following the close of a calendar quarter if no such cash payment is issued. If no Rabbi Trust is maintained, the compensation deferred under this Plan shall be treated as hypothetically invested in Common Stock as of the date specified in the preceding sentence and calculated using the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date in question.
* * * * *
8.Except as hereinabove specifically amended, all provisions of the Plan, as previously amended, shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Company hereby reserves the power from time to time to further amend the Plan.
