The Plans, as amended, have terms and conditions substantially similar to the respective previous versions of the Plans except for the following: the revised definition of “Incentive Award” excludes certain types of awards that are eligible for deferral under other plans, and each of the Plans was amended to clarify the administration of distributions in the event of separation from service due to death. The summary of the amendments to the Plans set forth above is qualified in all respects by reference to the Plans, as amended, copies of which are being filed herewith as Exhibit 10.7 and Exhibit 10.8.
