If the Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a Participant’s petition for suspension, the Participant’s deferrals under this Plan shall be suspended as of the date of such approval. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, approves a Participant’s petition for suspension and payout, the Participant’s deferrals under this Plan shall be suspended as of the date of such approval and the Participant shall receive a payout from the Plan within sixty (60) days of the date of such approval.”

For purposes of this Section 5.4, the value of a Participant’s vested Account Balance shall be calculated as of the close of business on or around the date on which receipt of the Participant’s election is acknowledged by the Committee, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, less a withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of the amount withdrawn (the net amount shall be referred to as the “Withdrawal Amount”). This election can be made at any time, before or after Retirement or Disability, and whether or not the Participant is in the process of being paid pursuant to an installment payment schedule. The Participant shall make this election by giving the Committee advance written notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by the Committee. The Participant shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount within sixty (60) days of his or her election. Once the Withdrawal Amount is paid, the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be suspended for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the withdrawal is elected and for one (1) full Plan Year thereafter.”

If a Participant returns to employment, or service as a Director, with an Employer after a Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual Deferral Amount, Annual Restricted Stock Amount, Annual Dividend Equivalent Amount, Annual Option Amount, Annual Performance Share Amount and Annual Stock

11


 

      Appreciation Right Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or service and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered to and accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with Section 3.3 above.”
     25. Article 15 of the Plan is hereby amended by the deletion of said Article 15 in its entirety and the substitution in lieu thereof of the following new Article 15:
ARTICLE 15
Satisfaction of Participants’ Tax Obligations

  15.2   Payments to Satisfy Tax Liability. The Committee shall deliver the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock pursuant to Section 15.1 to the Internal Revenue Service and/or other taxing authority in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax liability arising from the payout of Stock from such Participant’s Restricted Stock Account, Performance Share Account and Option Account.”
