3.6    Taxes. All contributions will be subject to all applicable tax and withholding requirements. In addition, all of the contributions described above are expressed on a before tax basis. The Supplemental Contributions and the Discretionary Contributions will be net of applicable withholding. The Matching Contributions and Standard Contributions will be gross of applicable withholding, and all required withholding for the Matching Contributions and Standard Contributions shall be withheld from the remainder of the Participant’s Compensation for the payroll period for which the Matching Contributions and Standard Contributions are made.

The following examples illustrate the how the Company will withhold on amounts due under the Plan:
Example 1: Assume that the Matching Contribution due to a Participant is $1,000 and that the applicable withholding amount is 20%. The Company will contribute the full $1,000 to the Participant’s Account. The $200 required withholding will be




withheld and remitted from the remainder of the Participant’s Compensation for that payroll period.
Example 2: Assume that the Supplemental Contribution due to a Participant is $100,000 and that pursuant to the Participant’s elections and applicable withholding requirements the Company is required to withhold 25%. The amount actually contributed to the Participant’s Account will be $75,000. The remaining $25,000 will be withheld and remitted as required by applicable law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Second Amendment to be executed as of this _15th day of January , 2014.
