H.B. Fuller Company (the “Company”) has adopted the H.B. Fuller Company Defined Contribution Restoration Plan (the “Plan”), and maintains the Plan, as amended and restated. The Company, acting through the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors, pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 11.1.3 of the Plan, has approved and adopted the following Plan amendments, and has directed the Vice President, Human Resources of the Company to execute such amendments:

 

1.           Subsection (c) of Section 1.2.1 is amended in its entirety to read as follows, effective January 1, 2014:

 

(c)     a Nonqualified Defined Contribution Component Account, to record the amounts that are credited to a Participant pursuant to Section 3.3.

 

2.           Section 1.2.9 is amended in its entirety to read as follows, effective January 1, 2014:

 

1.2.9.     Continuous Participation – a period commencing on the date on which an Eligible Employee becomes eligible to receive Nonqualified Defined Contribution Component credits under Section 3.3, and ending on the date the Participant Separates from Service or otherwise ceases to be eligible to receive Nonqualified Defined Contribution Component credits; provided that:

 

(a)      the Continuous Participation of a Participant described in Section 2.1.1(c) shall be deemed to have commenced on January 1, 2007; and

If the Participant or Beneficiary fails to review any information or fails to notify the Company of any error within such period of time, he/she will not be able to bring any claim seeking relief or damages based on the error. If the Company is notified of an alleged error within the thirty (30) day time period, it will investigate and either correct the error or notify the Participant or Beneficiary that it believes that no error occurred. If the Participant or Beneficiary is not satisfied with the correction (or the decision that no correction is necessary), he/she will have sixty (60) days from the date of notification of the correction (or notification of the decision that no correction is necessary) to file a formal claim under the claims procedures under Sec. 10.3.
