This FIRST AMENDMENT to the Trust Agreement for Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Trust Agreement”) is entered into as of this 28^th day of January 2013 by Alliant Techsystems Inc., as grantor, (“ATK”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

ATK hereby certifies that no Change of Control (as defined in Section 1.3 of the Trust Agreement) has occurred as of the date first written above.

Effective as of the date first written above, Section 6.5 is hereby amended to add a new Section 6.5(c) to read as follows:

“(c)    upon receipt of a written certification from ATK (or, after a Change of Control, from the independent public accountants for ATK) on or before January 31^st of any year that ATK paid a specified dollar amount of benefits directly to Participants or their Beneficiaries as they became due under the terms of the Plan (pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof) within the prior calendar year, the Trustee shall distribute such specified dollar amount to ATK as a reimbursement for such direct payments.”

In all respects not amended, the Trust Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this instrument to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first written above.
