Amendment of this Award Agreement The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate this Award Agreement prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancelation or termination that would materially and adversely impair your rights under this Award Agreement shall not to that extent be effective without your consent (it being understood, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, that this Award Agreement and the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) of the Plan).
Amendment of Plan The Board of Directors may amend the Plan with respect to all Participating Companies or with respect to a particular Participating Company at any time, and from time to time, pursuant to written resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors (and all Employees and persons claiming any interest hereunder shall be bound thereby); provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(a) Alter the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Named Fiduciary or Trustees without their written consent;

Written notice of such amendment and the availability of such election must be given to each such Participant, and each such Participant shall be granted a period of sixty (60) days after the later of:
(1) The Participant’s receipt of such notice; or
(2) The effective date of such amendment within which to make such election. Such election shall be exercised by the Participant by delivering or sending written notice thereof to the Named Fiduciary prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period.
