(b)    Payments Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A

The time or schedule of a payment of any Retirement Benefit to a Participant may be accelerated if at any time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that any such payment shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance.

The Plan is an unfunded arrangement. No portion of any funds of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be required to be set apart for a Participant or Beneficiary. The rights of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of a Retirement Benefit shall be limited to those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Company who has a claim equal to the value of the Participant’s Retirement Benefit. Retirement Benefits shall be payable from the general assets of the Company, and/or from any grantor trust or other funding vehicle that the Company, in its discretion, may establish consistent with the tax deferral objective of this Plan; provided, however, that no Participant or Beneficiary shall at any time have any right to all or any portion of the assets of or associated with any such trust or other funding vehicle.

The Committee shall have the right to amend the Plan for any reason, at any time and from time to time. No amendment of the Plan shall cause, without the Participant’s written consent, a reduction in the vested Retirement Benefit to which the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary would have been entitled as of the effective date of such amendment under the terms of this Plan absent such amendment. Furthermore, no amendment may result in an acceleration of benefit payment (except as may be permitted by Section 409A of the Code).

The Company may, by action of the Board, terminate the Plan subject to the following provisions:

Upon termination of the Plan, Retirement Benefits accrued and vested as of the date of termination of the Plan shall be held, administered and distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on the date of Plan termination, except that: Retirement Benefits under the Plan may be distributed prior to the time required under either Article III or IV, respectively, if all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements sponsored by the Company and any company required to be aggregated with the Company under Section 414(b) and (c) of the Code that are treated, together with either the Part A Retirement Benefit or the Part B Retirement Benefit, as applicable, as one arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, are terminated, subject to the following requirements: (i) no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan and such other arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination of the Plan and such other arrangements, (ii) all payments under the Plan and such other arrangements are made within 24 months of the date of such termination, and (iii) neither the Company nor any company required to be aggregated with the Company under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code adopts a new arrangement that would, with the Plan or any such other terminated arrangement, be treated as a single arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of the Plan and such other arrangements.

If the Participant or any Beneficiary entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is a minor or is deemed by the Board or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such benefits, they will be paid to such person or

institution as the Board may designate or to a duly appointed guardian. Such payment shall, to the extent made, be deemed a complete discharge of any such payment under the Plan.

This Plan shall not be deemed a contract of employment with the Participant, and no provision hereof shall affect the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment.

No amount payable to, or held under the Plan for the account of, the Participant or any Beneficiary shall be subject, in any manner, to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No amount payable to, or held under the Plan for the account of, the Participant shall be subject to any legal process of levy or attachment.

The Company may withhold from any payments hereunder such amount as it may be required to withhold under applicable federal, state or other tax law or regulation, and transmit such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due from the Company to the Participant upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe.

The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted, construed and administered under the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and performed in such state, without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof and to the extent that ERISA and other federal laws do not apply.

The captions contained in the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan or in any way affect the construction of any provision of the Plan.

8.7    Severability

If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included.

The Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and delivery of agreements and payments. Any notice required or permitted to be given shall be deemed given if directed to the person to whom addressed at such address and mailed by regular United States first class mail, postage prepaid. If any item mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing shall be suspended until the Participant furnishes the proper address.

This Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. The rights or obligations of the Company under this Plan may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing entity, or a sale, liquidation or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company under this Plan, either contractually or as a matter of law.

All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person(s) requires. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with that intent, the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 409A and in the event that any provision that is necessary for the Plan to comply with Section 409A is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, to have been omitted, such omitted provision shall be deemed included herein and is hereby incorporated as part of the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Committee determines that the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the law, whether such noncompliance is the result of misconduct or other circumstances, the

Participant’s Retirement Benefits shall be offset, or the Participant shall be required to reimburse the Company, for any amounts credited, earned or payable with respect to any Retirement Benefits to the extent required by and otherwise in accordance with applicable law and any Company policies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized officer effective as of the 9th day of December, 2013.
