(cc) “Subsidiary” means a corporation or other entity in which, at the time of reference, the Company owns directly or indirectly, stock or similar interests comprising more than 50% of the combined voting power of all outstanding securities of such entity.
6.The Plan is amended to delete subsection (v) in Section 2.2 (Period of Participation).
7.The Plan is amended to add a new Section 3.3, as follows:
Section 3.3. Company Transaction Contribution. In the event a CIC Eligible Participant incurs an Involuntary Termination of Employment following a Company Transaction, the Company will make a Company Transaction Contribution on behalf of the CIC Eligible Participant. However, in the case of a Company Transaction that is described solely in Section 1.2(y)(4), but which does not otherwise represent a Company Transaction under Section 1.2(y), then a Company Transaction Contribution will be made on behalf of a CIC Eligible Participant under this Section 3.3 only if the CIC Eligible Participant principally performed services for the Operating Group undergoing a Company Transaction under Section 1.2(y)(4). For purposes of the Plan, a “CIC Eligible Participant” means a Participant who is both (a) an active Participant on the First Amendment Effective Date, and (b) assigned to a Contribution Category under Section 3.1 of greater than 0% of Base Salary as of the First Amendment Effective Date.
The Company Transaction Contribution will equal the product of (a) the number of full months by which the date of the CIC Eligible Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment precedes his or her 68 th birthday, times (b) 54% of the CIC Eligible Participant’s monthly Base Salary in effect at the time of his or her Involuntary Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the CIC Eligible Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment is on account of the CIC Eligible Participant’s resignation due to a reduction in his or her Base Salary, then the CIC Eligible Participant’s monthly Base Salary under (b) will be determined by reference to the monthly Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the reduction in Base Salary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Transaction Contribution, when combined with any other payment or benefit owed by the Company to a Participant, would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company Transaction Contribution will be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will be either (x) the largest portion of the Company Transaction Contribution that would result in no portion of the Company Transaction Contribution being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the total Company Transaction Contribution, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local employment taxes, income taxes (computed at the highest marginal rate), and the Excise Tax, results in the Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Company Transaction Contribution, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Company Transaction Contribution may be subject to the Excise Tax. For purposes of making this determination, the Company Transaction Contribution will be reduced before any other payments to a Participant that constitute a parachute payment.

8.The first paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Plan is amended to add the following sentence to the end thereof:
A Company Transaction Contribution will be credited to a CIC Eligible Participant’s Account as of the date of the CIC Eligible Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment or a Plan termination described in Section 7.3, as applicable.
9.The last sentence of Section 5.3 is amended, as follows:
The amount to be paid to a Participant for any subsequent installment will be determined in the same manner as with the first installment, except (i) the denominator of the fraction will equal the total number of remaining installments payable to the Participant, (ii) the Participant’s Account will be valued as of the applicable anniversary date of the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date, and (iii) the Participant’s entire remaining Benefit will be paid to the Participant as part of the last installment payment.
10.The Plan is amended to add a new Section 5.4, as follows:
Section 5.4. No Payment Election for Company Transaction Contribution. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the portion of a Participant’s Benefit attributable to a Company Transaction Contribution will be paid at the time and in the form described in Section 6.6, without regard to any payment election made by a Participant, and will not be treated as part of the Participant’s Account balance for purposes of the other provisions of this Article 5.
11.Section 6.1 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced, as follows:
Section 6.1. Payment on Account of Separation from Service. Subject to Sections 5.4, 6.6, and 8.12(c), if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service, the Participant’s vested Benefit will be paid (or commence to be paid) to the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s election or deemed election under Section 5.1 or, if applicable, Section 5.2.
12.The Plan is amended to add a new Section 6.6, as follows:
Section 6.6. Payment of Company Transaction Contribution. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, but subject to Section 8.12(c), the portion of a Participant’s Benefit, if any, that is attributable to a Company Transaction Contribution under Section 3.3 will be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service.
13.The Plan is amended to add a new Section 7.3, as follows:
Section 7.3. Company Transaction Termination. In the event the Company terminates the Plan within the 30 days preceding or at any time following the occurrence of a Company Transaction, then the Company will make a Company Transaction Contribution in the manner described in Section 3.3 on behalf of each CIC Eligible Participant who (i) remains continuously employed by the Company from the First Amendment Effective Date through the
- 5 -

effective date of the Plan termination and (ii) has not attained age 65 as of the Plan termination date. Any Company Transaction Contribution provided for under this Section 7.3 will equal the product of (a) the number of full months by which the date of the Plan termination precedes a CIC Eligible Participant’s 68th birthday, and (b) 54% of a CIC Eligible Participant’s monthly Base Salary in effect at the time of the Plan termination. For purposes of this Section 7.3, the effective date of a Plan termination will be considered to be the date the Board takes an irrevocable action to terminate the Plan.
14.The Plan is amended to add a new Section 8.13, as follows:
Section 8.13. Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any dispute or difference arising under or in connection with this Plan results in arbitration or litigation, the Company will reimburse the Participant for all reasonable Attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by the Participant therewith. Any reimbursement of attorney’s fees provided for in this Section 8.13 will be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
15.In all other respects, the Plan remains unchanged.
IN WITNESS HEREOF, the Company, through is duly authorized officer, adopts this First Amendment as of the First Amendment Effective Date.
