An Eligible Employee’s Contribution Formula for the first Accounting Year in which he is eligible to make pre-tax contributions to the Plan shall be determined according to the rules set forth in Sections 2.02(a)(1) through (3).

Any such election may be made only by written notice to the Administrative Committee or its delegee on a form prescribed by the Administrative Committee or its delegee.
(5) Fixed-Percentage and Fixed-Dollar Formulas Prior to April 1, 2007.Prior to April 1, 2007, this Plan provided that Employee pretax contributions were made under either a “fixed percentage” or “fixed dollar” formula.

8. | Section 3.01 is revised to read as follows: |
3.01. Employer Matching Contributions. As soon as practicable after each payroll period for which Employee pre-tax contributions are withheld pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Employer will remit such contributions to the Trustee, plus an “Employer Matching Contribution” equal to one-half ( 1/2) of each Eligible Employee’s contributions; provided, however, that for each Eligible Employee whose contributions were made under Contribution Formula 2 for such payroll period, the maximum Employer Matching Contribution made pursuant to this Section shall be one percent (1 %) of such Eligible Employee’s Pay Period Compensation. As soon as administratively practicable thereafter, any such Employer Matching Contribution shall be allocated to the account of the individual Eligible Employee on whose behalf it was made. The Employer Matching Contributions may either be made (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of Employer Stock, valued at the closing price of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date the contribution is withheld from an Employee’s Compensation, if the shares are contributed directly to the Trust Fund. The Employer may also in one or more transactions purchase shares of Employer Stock in the open market as treasury stock with instructions to the broker-dealer or other person authorized to execute the transaction to deliver on behalf of the Employer the shares purchased by the Employer upon settlement to the Trustee (or for credit to the Trustee’s account with a depository), in which event the shares purchased shall be valued at the cost of treasury stock purchased, plus commission, if any, and any other out-of-pocket expenses related to the transaction. Alternatively, the Employer may in one or more transactions purchase shares of Employer stock directly from a Participant, employee or other person, other than a Participant, employee or other person to whom the restrictions in Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are applicable, with instructions to the transfer agent of the Employer to deliver the certificates for such shares of treasury stock directly to the Trustee (or for credit to the Trustee’s account with a depository); the purchase price for any such shares of treasury stock shall be based on the closing price of the Employer Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day of the transaction (and shall not include any out-of-pocket expenses related to such a transaction), which shall be the value of the shares delivered to the Trustee for Plan accounting purposes. Any Forfeitures that are available shall be applied to reduce any Employer Matching Contributions under this Section 3.01 or additional Employer Matching Contributions under Section 3.02.
9. | Section 3.02 is revised to read as follows: |
3.02. Additional Employer Matching Contributions. For each Accounting Year in which the Employer has Net Profits or accumulated Net Profits, the Employer may make an “Additional Employer Matching Contribution” from such Net Profits (or accumulated Net Profits), to be
5
allocated to: (i) each active Participant who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Accounting Year for which such contribution is made, and (ii) each Participant who retired, died or became Totally and Permanently Disabled during such Accounting Year. The amount of any Additional Employer Matching Contribution made pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Sponsoring Employer and shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the Employer Matching Contribution made pursuant to Section 3.01 for such Accounting Year, and (ii) the maximum amount deductible under Section 404(a)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any statute or rule of similar import. The amount of such Additional Employer Matching Contribution may be made (i) in cash, or (ii) in shares of Employer Stock, valued as of the closing price of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day prior to the day of the contribution to the Trust Fund, if the shares are contributed directly to the Trust Fund. The Employer may in one or more transactions purchase shares of Employer Stock in the open market as treasury stock with instructions to the broker-dealer or other person authorized to execute the transaction to deliver on behalf of the Employer the shares purchased by the Employer upon settlement to the Trustee (or for credit to the Trustee’s account with a depository), in which event the shares purchased shall be valued at the cost of treasury stock purchased, plus commissions, if any, and any other out-of-pocket expenses related to the transaction. Alternatively, the Employer may in one or more transactions purchase shares of Employer stock directly from a Participant, employee or other person, other than a Participant employee or other person to whom the restrictions in Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are applicable, with instructions to the transfer agent of the Employer to deliver the certificate(s) for such shares of treasury a stock directly to the Trustee (or for credit to the Trustee’s account with a depository); the purchase price for any such shares of treasury stock shall be based on the closing price of the Employer stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day of the transaction, (and shall not include any out-of-pocket expenses related to such a transaction) which shall be the value of the shares delivered to the Trustee for Plan accounting purposes. Any Additional Employer Matching Contribution shall be allocated as of the last day of the Accounting Year for which it is made, in the same proportion as any Employer Matching Contribution made pursuant to Section 3.01.
