By striking the third paragraph from subparagraph (a) in the EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of Article III and substituting the following:

The elective deferral agreement to stop Elective Deferral Contributions may be entered into on any date. Such elective deferral agreement shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which the elective deferral agreement is entered into.

This amendment is made an integral part of the aforesaid Plan and is controlling over the terms of said Plan with respect to the particular items addressed expressly herein. All other provisions of the Plan remain unchanged and controlling.
