In Section 4.1(a)(i) and (ii), and in Section 4.1(c)(i) and (ii), delete the portion of each paragraph that states, "120 percent of the interest rate that would be used (as of January 1 of the calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation with respect to an immediate annuity for purposes of determining the present value of a lump sum distribution on plan termination" and substitute the following: the interest rate equal to the average annual yield on 30-year Treasury securities at constant maturity published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release effective for the November preceding the beginning of the calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made. 3. In Section 4.1(e), insert a new paragraph (i) to read as follows, and re-designate the following paragraphs accordingly: (i) Section 3.04 of the Retirement Plan; 4.
