WHEREAS, IE Industries Inc. (the “Company”, including its wholly owned subsidiaries), has established a Key Employee Deferred Compensation Agreement, which agreement was amended and restated as of the 1st day of July, 1990 (the “Amended Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, one of the primary purposes of adopting the Amended Agreement was to define a Participant’s Retirement Date as age sixty-two (62) instead of age sixty-five (65) and to provide different alternatives for the payment of benefits at the Participant’s Retirement Date; and

WHEREAS, because of administrative concerns on permitting a Participant the right to change alternatives for the payment of benefits on amounts deferred prior to the Amended Agreement and in order to allow the Company time to consider the administrative concerns, the Amended Agreement specifically provided that a Participant could not change his Option for Payment of Benefits for deferrals made prior to the effective date of the Amended Agreement or the date payments would commence for such prior deferrals; and

WHEREAS, the administrative concerns have been resolved and the Company, to achieve one of the original purposes of the Amended Agreement, wishes to amend the Amended Agreement to permit a Participant the right each year (except the year in which the Participant attains his or her Retirement Date, as defined in the Amended Agreement) to change any previously selected Option For Payment of Benefits.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Amended Agreement is amended as follows:

l.    The last full sentence of Section 1.4 of the Amended Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

2.    Section 1.20 is deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefore:

1.20     Option For Payment of Benefits - “Option For Payment of Benefits” shall mean the option the Participant shall have to elect to receive his Normal Benefit, as specified in the Participant’s Benefit Schedule, upon Termination of Employment on the Participant’s Retirement Date or at age 65, either in a lump sum amount or in monthly payments over sixty (60), one hundred twenty (120), or one hundred eighty (180) months. Each year the Participant shall have the right to select a different Option For Payment of Benefits for Actual Deferrals to be made during the following Deferral Period, as set forth in Section 3.7 below. In addition, the Participant shall have the right to change any previous Option For Payment of Benefits for Actual Deferrals for prior years, except no change will be allowed in the Option For Payment of Benefits for Actual Deferrals for any prior years in the year of the Participant’s Retirement Date or, any time thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Company.

3.    The first paragraph of Section 3.7 is deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

The Participant shall have the option each year during the thirty (30) day period from June 1 through the last business day of the Company for that month (the last business day shall be the last day that the executive offices of the Company are open for normal business operations) to change his Option For Payment of Benefits as to Stated Deferrals to be deferred in future Deferral Periods and to change the Option For Payment of Benefits as to Actual Deferrals to any payment option permitted under Section 1.20, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 1.20. The Option For Payment of Benefits shall remain in effect until the Participant executes a new Option For Payment of Benefits Form, as set out in this Section 3.7.

4.    Section 4.7 is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefore:

4.7    Payment of Actual Deferrals Made Prior to July 1, 1990. Participants shall have the right as to all Actual Deferrals made prior to July 1, 1990 to have such Actual Deferrals payable based on any Option For Payment Of Benefits set forth in Section 1.20 and to have such amounts payable commencing on the Participant’s Retirement Date, as defined under the Amended Agreement, or at age 65.
