Exhibit A to the Performance Unit Agreement), subject to compliance with the following:
(i) the new payment schedule may only apply to amounts that would otherwise be payable in a
calendar year after the calendar year in which the election is effective (the calendar year that
includes the effective date of the election referred to hereinafter as the “Election Year”);
(ii) the new payment schedule may not cause an amount which is otherwise payable in any year
after the Election Year to be payable in the Election Year;
(iii) any and all changes to the payment schedule pursuant to this Paragraph 3(d) must be made
and effective on or before December 31, 2008 or, if later, the last day with respect to which the

(v) payments may only be made as of April 30th of the calendar years between 2008
and 2016, inclusive;
(vi) no less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Units granted to Participant,
including any related adjustments pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan, may be selected for payment on
any given date (as a result of which, there can be no more than four (4) payment dates); and
(vii) all Performance Units of the Participant, including any related adjustments pursuant to
Section 8 of the Plan, shall be paid in the same proportions as specified in the Participant’s
newly-elected payment schedule, except that amounts paid previously shall have been paid, and
amounts to be paid in the Election Year shall be paid, in the same proportions as specified in the
Participant’s payment schedule applicable to such amounts.
(e) To the extent the Participant elects a new payment schedule pursuant to Paragraphs 3(c) or 3(d)
above, the original payment schedule set forth in Exhibit A to the Performance Unit
Agreement and any other previously-elected payment schedule(s) shall be of no further force or
effect and shall be replaced with such newly-elected payment schedule. Any payment election
pursuant to Paragraphs 3(c) or 3(d) above shall be made in the form attached hereto as Schedule
1 and shall only be effective when signed by the Participant and received by the Company’s
Senior Vice President-Human Resources, General Counsel or other Company representative designated
by the Chairman of the Company’s Compensation Committee.
3. Entire Agreement. This Amendment and any new payment election made under the
Performance Unit Agreement, as amended, together with the Plan and the Performance Unit Agreement,
contains the sole and entire agreement of the Company and the Participant with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereunder, and no representation, inducement, promise
2
or agreement, oral or written, between Company and the Participant not incorporated herein shall be
of any force or effect concerning the subject matter hereof.
4. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment and any new payment election made under the
Performance Unit Agreement, as amended, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable unless the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and permitted assigns.

Performance Unit Agreement, as amended, shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of Georgia.
6. Section 409A Provision. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, this
Amendment, the Performance Unit Agreement or any new payment election made under Paragraphs 3(c) or
3(d) of the Performance Unit Agreement, it is intended that each payment under the Performance Unit
Agreement will be made in a manner, and at such time, as complies with the applicable requirements
of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for
non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, the Performance Unit Agreement, as
amended, and any new payment election made under the Performance Unit Agreement shall be construed
consistent with that intent. Any new payment elections the Participant makes under Paragraphs 3(c)
or 3(d) of the Performance Unit Agreement, as amended, are intended to be consistent with the rules
under Section 409A of the Code that permit new payment elections to be made with respect to both
the time and/or form of any payment without the new payment election being treated as a prohibited
change or acceleration of the payment.
7. Amendment. This Amendment amends the Participant’s Performance Unit Agreement.
Other than as set forth herein, the Performance Unit Agreement shall continue consistent with its
terms.
