WHEREAS, Section 6.02 of the Plan provides that the Principal Employer has the right to amend the Plan through its Board of Directors (the “Board”);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall affect the amount of the Participant’s accrued but unpaid benefit (including the amount of the deemed earnings that have accrued thereon), or the right of the Participant to receive his accrued but unpaid benefit, at the time the amendment becomes effective.

(a) Any such amendment shall be adopted by resolution of either the board of directors of Fulton Financial Corporation, or the Human Resources Committee of the board of directors of Fulton Financial Corporation (the “Human Resources Committee”), and shall be executed by an officer authorized to act on behalf of Fulton Financial Corporation. A copy of the amendment shall be delivered to the Administrator and each Employer.

(1) Amendments required by relevant law, regulation or ruling;

(2) Amendments that can reasonably be characterized as technical or ministerial in nature; and

(3) Other amendments helpful to the administration and operation of the Plan as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion provided that such amendments are not expected to have a material financial impact on the liability of the Employers under the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not have the power to make an amendment to the Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in the termination of the Plan, a change in the powers, duties or responsibilities of the Administrator, or any increase in the duties or responsibilities of any Employer, unless such amendment is approved or ratified by either the board of directors of Fulton Financial Corporation, or the Human Resources Committee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Fourth Amendment was duly executed on this 20th day of July, 2021.
