[Section 8.3] of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by # deleting “and” at the end of subclause (p), (ii) re-lettering subclause # as subclause (r) and (iii))] adding new subclause # as follows:

[Section 409A]. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Plan, any applicable Program and the Award Agreement covering such Award shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that, following the Effective Date, the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan, any applicable Program and the Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes on the Award under Section 409A of the Code, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or with an available exemption therefrom.

[Section 409A]. All payment from the [[Organization A:Organization]] to the Executive must qualify under the “short term deferral exclusion” under the [Section 409A] regulations. Regardless of the reason for the payment, including but not limited to involuntary termination, resignation for good cause or change in control, all payment will be made in the same tax year that the event that caused the obligation for the payment to be made or by the 15th of March in the subsequent year, including, following termination of Executive’s employment, payment of any variable compensation earned and owing to Executive under the Variable Compensation Plan for such calendar year. Any payment not received in accordance with this requirement will be deemed forfeited and may not be paid at a later date, unless where making the payment is administratively impracticable due to unforeseen circumstances or where making the payment on time would have unforeseeably rendered the payment nondeductible as excess compensation under Internal Revenue Code.

[Section 409A]. This Agreement and the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “[Section 409A]”) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the [[Organization A:Organization]] makes no representations that the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from the requirements of [Section 409A] and in no event shall the [[Organization A:Organization]] or any other Released Party be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

[Section 4.6] of the Note shall apply to this Amendment.

[Section 409A]. To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements payable to you shall be paid to you no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and your right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

[Section 409A]. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A, and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such additional tax or penalty. Each Award that provides for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of [Section 409A] shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Committee from time to time to comply with Section 409A. If any amount under such an Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of [Section 409A]) to a Participant who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of [Section 409A]), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of # six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service, or # the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. In addition, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by [Section 409A].

[Section 409A]. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11, in connection with the payment to a Participant of any Award Installment subject to Section 409A, solely to the extent that any Award Installment has been deferred pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan as currently in effect or as hereinafter amended (or any successor or similar deferral plan), Sections 11(a), (b) and (c) hereof shall have no effect on the payment date(s) or form(s) of payment of such Award Installment pursuant to such deferred compensation plan (and any elections made by such Participant pursuant to such plan).
