     WHEREAS, the Employee Benefits Committee desires to amend the Plan (i) to reflect the restructuring of Harris Technical Services Corporation and Multimax Incorporated into a single company, Harris IT Services Corporation; (ii) to provide that contributions to the Plan of amounts payable under the Corporation’s Performance Reward Plan (or any similar plan) shall be made on a pre-tax basis; (iii) to clarify the treatment, pending participant investment direction, of the proceeds from a tender offer impacting the Harris Stock Fund; (iv) to reflect newly-effective regulations under section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to limitations on contributions to qualified plans and (v) to reflect the maintenance of a “qualified non-elective contribution” money source on behalf of certain former participants in the Multimax, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan; and
