2. Section 3.4 is amended to add the following sentence to the end of such section: If the Committee pays a cash bonus to an Eligible Employee or Director pursuant to a cash bonus incentive granted under § 9.5(a), such cash bonus paid in any calendar year to any individual shall not exceed $5,000,000.
