Effective as of May 1, 2005, Section 11.07 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, if the vested portion of a Participant’s Account on the date the Participant ceases to be an Employee is $5,000 or less, the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant, or Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as practicable, without the consent of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.

This Amendment has been executed this 26th day of April, 2005.
