This Interim Amendment contains the elective provisions for implementing the In-Plan Roth Conversion provisions set forth in Appendix B of the Plan. The provisions under Appendix B of the Plan and under this Interim Amendment #1 are designed as a good-faith amendment to implement the provisions under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) effective for In-Plan Roth Conversions made on or after January 1, 2013. If In-Plan Roth Conversions were effective under the Plan prior to January 1, 2013, the pre-ATRA provisions must be described under AA §6A-5(c) and the post- ATRA provisions must be described under this Interim Amendment #1 . If In-Plan Roth Conversions are first effective under the Plan on or after 1/112013, AA §6A-5(c) should not be completed and only the provisions under this interim Amendment # I should be completed.
