In no event shall the Benefits of a Participant exceed the Benefits to which such Participant is entitled as of December 31, 2016.”

2.
By adding the following sentence to the end of Section 1.8:

“Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, Compensation of a Participant will not include any amounts earned after December 31, 2016.”
