“Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or Award Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan or any Award Agreement by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Administrator under Treas.

| 2. | Except as expressly amended hereby, the terms of the Plan shall be and remain unchanged and the Plan as amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect. |
