     4. In Paragraph 5(e) of the Agreement, the phrase “(ii to a maximum of 18 months)” is modified to read as follows: “(ii to a maximum of 18 months, unless you are 60 years of age or older on the date of your termination/resignation and you have been employed by the Company for not less than three years as of the date of your termination/resignation, in which case the last clause of subparagraph 5(c)(ii) shall apply)”.
