WHEREAS, Section 9.1 of the Plan provides the Company may amend the Plan at any time by action of its Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors; and

  1. Restate Section 2.12(a) in its entirety as follows:

(a) For Plan Years prior to January 1, 2008, the term “Compensation” means the base pay of an Employee paid by the Controlled Group in a calendar year plus overtime compensation, cash incentive compensation and vacation compensation paid to that Employee, but excluding (i) any payments of cash incentive compensation made after the calendar year of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Controlled Group, (ii) payments of vacation compensation made after the Employee’s termination of employment with the Controlled Group to an Employee who is not entitled to a retirement benefit pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, (iii) effective as of January 1, 2000, payments pursuant to the Century Bonus Program, (iv) payments pursuant to a tax equalization, relocation or cost of living program, an expatriate program or any similar programs or arrangements and (v) other extra or contingent compensation including signing bonuses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation shall include any pay that would have been paid to such Employee had he not signed a salary deferral agreement that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(k), 125, 129 or 132(f).


  2. Redesignate Section 2.12(b) as Section 2.12(c), and add the following new Section 2.12(b):
