Second Amendment to U.S. Bank 2005 Outside Directors Deferred Compensation Plan
This amendment updates the U.S. Bank 2005 Outside Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. It introduces the Investment Committee as the body overseeing investment options and gives it authority to determine and manage the plan's measurement funds, which affect how directors' deferred compensation accounts are adjusted. The amendment also removes Appendix B and clarifies how participants can select and change investment options. All other terms of the plan remain unchanged.
