        WHEREAS, the Committee also wishes to amend the Plan to clarify those existing provisions of Appendix A of the Plan addressing the adoption of final regulations by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, which regulations generally became effective for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Committee does hereby amend the Plan, pursuant to Article 16 thereof, effective as of the various dates set forth below, as follows:

            1.     By deleting, effective for contributions made on and after June 1, 2008, Section 3.6 in its entirety and by substituting therefor the following:

            2.     By deleting, effective January 1, 2008, the last paragraph of Section 5 of Appendix A and by substituting therefor the following:
