Amendment to Section 5 of BellSouth Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

This amendment updates Section 5 of the BellSouth Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, specifying how lump sum retirement benefits are calculated for eligible executives. The lump sum is based on the actuarial present value of the participant’s benefit, using the interest rate and mortality table from the Pension Plan.
