  (vi)    Automatic Enrollment Effective June 1, 2008.

The Notice shall be provided to any such Employee as soon as administratively practicable after his employment or re-employment commencement date which is the date the Employee first performs an Hour of Service. The terms of that Notice shall provide that the Administrator shall automatically enroll each such Employee in the 401(k) feature of the Plan pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.1(a) and that such Employee shall be deemed to have agreed to a reduction in his Annual Compensation from his Employer in an amount equal to three percent of his Annual Compensation per payroll period commencing with the payroll period which next follows the 30th day following the 401(k) Entry Date which coincides with or next follows the date upon which he satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in Section 2.1(ii) for participation in the 401(k) feature of the Plan, subject to the restrictions and limitations of Article IV hereof, unless the Employee affirmatively elects prior to that payroll period to cancel his automatic enrollment.

The Notice shall also provide that the balance of each such Employee's Individual Account shall be invested in the qualified default investment alternative in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.8. In addition, that Notice shall provide that each such Employee may elect to amend his automatic enrollment for the payroll period in which his automatic enrollment shall become effective, or cancel or amend his automatic enrollment for any future payroll period, in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(iii).

             4.    Section 15.11 of the Plan is hereby amended, effective June 1, 2008, to read as follows:

             Sec. 15.11    Tax Withholding and Participant's Direct Rollover. Unless provided otherwise in regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the extent required under Section 3405 of the Code, the Trustee shall withhold 20% of the taxable portion of a Plan distribution or withdrawal made to a Participant, Former Participant, Alternate Payee or Beneficiary which constitutes an Eligible Rollover Distribution (as defined below). Any amount withheld shall be deposited by the Trustee with the Internal Revenue Service for the purpose of paying the distributee's federal income tax liability associated with the distribution or withdrawal. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each Direct Rollover Distributee (as defined below) shall be provided with a Notice described in Section 15.2 and given the right to elect [pursuant to Section 401(a)(31) of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder] during the period prescribed in Section 15.2 to rollover all or any portion of the taxable amount of such person's distribution or withdrawal (subject to limitations and restrictions, if any, adopted by the Administrator in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations) directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan (as defined below) and, to the extent a direct rollover is elected by any Direct Rollover Distributee, the withholding requirements of this Section 15.11 shall not apply. If permitted by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, a direct rollover as described in the preceding sentence may be accomplished by delivering a check from the Plan to the Direct Rollover Distributee payable to the trustee or custodian of the Eligible Retirement Plan. Each such direct rollover election shall be in writing on a form prescribed by the Administrator for such purpose or, if allowed by the Administrator, by Interactive Electronic Communication, and given to the Direct Rollover Distributee within a reasonable period of time prior to the distribution or withdrawal.

             For purposes of this Section 15.11, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 

  (a)    "Direct Rollover Distributee" shall mean a Participant, a Former Participant, a spouse of a Participant or a Former Participant, and a Participant's or Former Participant's former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

  (b)    "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean, except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.11(b), an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract), an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state that will accept an Eligible Rollover Distribution and, in the case of an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code, that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from the Plan.

  (c)    "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall mean any distribution of all or a portion of a Participant's or Former Participant's Individual Account to a Direct Rollover Distributee; provided, however, an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall not mean any distribution of all or a portion of a Participant's or Former Participant's Individual Account (i) that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Direct Rollover Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Direct Rollover Distributee and his designated Beneficiary, (ii) that is paid for a specified period of ten years or more, (iii) that is a part of a series of distributions during a calendar year to the extent that such distributions are expected to total less than $200 or a total lump sum distribution which is less than $200, as described in Q&A-11 of Treas.

               5.    Section 22.8 of the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of January 1, 2008 and effective June 1, 2008, to read as follows:

             Sec. 22.8    Participant Direction of Investments. To the extent permitted by the Administrator from time to time, based on a non-discriminatory policy, each Participant and Former Participant may direct the Trustee concerning the investment of his Individual Account among Investment Funds made available to the Participants and Former Participants by the Administrator from time to time. The investment direction rights under this Section 22.8 and the related procedures shall also apply to Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees for whom an Individual Account is held under the Plan. The Administrator may change the Investment Funds set forth in Section 1.24 at such time as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the Administrator shall maintain, at a minimum, at least three investment funds representing a broad range of investment alternatives which provide Participants and Former Participants with a reasonable opportunity to materially affect the potential return on amounts in their Individual Accounts. The Administrator may use registered mutual funds, bank-maintained collective investment funds or similar arrangements as funding vehicles for the Investment Funds, provided that the underlying investments of any such arrangement are consistent with the investment objectives of the particular Investment Fund, as established by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may at any time establish new Investment Funds or discontinue existing Investment Funds and may at any time increase or decrease the number of Investment Funds that are offered to Participants and Former Participants under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that there is insufficient participation in a particular Investment Fund, the Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, discontinue the availability of that Investment Fund.

             A Participant or Former Participant may elect to invest the balance of his Individual Account in any one or more of the Investment Funds, but any such election of the Investment Funds must be in 10% increments totaling 100%. At the time an Employee becomes a Participant, he shall complete and file with the Administrator using the form furnished by the Administrator or, if permitted by the Administrator, an Interactive Electronic Communication, designating the Investment Funds under which his Salary Reduction Contributions, accounts under a plan merged into the Plan, Rollover Contributions, if any, Employer profit sharing contributions and Matching Contributions, if any, allocated to his Individual Account, if any, are to be initially invested. Separate elections may be made with respect to different types of contributions. The Employer's profit sharing contributions pursuant to Section 3.3, if any, and Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 3.2, if any, shall be invested in accordance with the Participant's elections in effect at the time that such Employer profit sharing contributions and Matching Contributions are actually made to the Plan. The directions, and any change thereto, must be in writing or, if permitted by the Administrator, by Interactive Electronic Communication.

             Up to 100% of the assets of a Participant's Individual Account attributable to contributions allocated to his Individual Account on or before May 31, 2008 may be invested in Fund 5. Effective June 1, 2008, a Participant may not direct that more than 50% of the assets of his Individual Account attributable to contributions allocated to his Individual Account after May 31, 2008 may be invested in Fund 5. If the investment election of any Participant in effect on June 1, 2008 provides for an election in excess of 50% to Fund 5, that investment election shall be automatically revised, effective June 1, 2008, with respect to the specific election to Fund 5 to provide for an election of 50% to Fund 5 and the percentage elected in excess of 50% shall be deemed to be an election of that excess percentage to the particular T. Rowe Price target date retirement fund (currently set forth in Section 1.24 as Funds 13-24) determined by the age of the Participant. Notwithstanding that the value of the assets in a Participant's Individual Account that are invested in Fund 5 on June 1, 2008 is 50% or more of the total value of the assets in his Individual Account on that date, the Participant's Individual Account may continue to hold that investment interest in Fund 5 after May 31, 2008 and the investment election in Fund 5 permitted by the two preceding sentences with respect to contributions allocated to his Individual Account after May 31, 2008 shall not be affected. A Participant shall not be permitted, however, to direct the Trustee (in writing, or if permitted by the Administrator, by giving an Interactive Electronic Communication) after May 31, 2008 to change the investment of the assets then allocated to his Individual Account if (i) that investment election requires reinvestment of any assets in his Individual Account into Fund 5 and the value of the assets in his Individual Account that are invested in Fund 5 on that date is 50% or more of the total value of the assets in his Individual Account on that date, or (ii) the effect of that investment election would result in more than 50% of the value of the total assets in his Individual Account on that date being invested in Fund 5.

             If an Employee has an employment or re-employment commencement date after May 31, 2008 and fails to complete and file with the Administrator using the form furnished by the Administrator or, if allowed by the Administrator, to give an Interactive Electronic Communication, directing the Trustee concerning the investment of his Individual Account, the entire balance of his Individual Account shall be invested in the particular T. Rowe Price target date retirement fund (currently set forth in Section 1.24 as Funds 13-24) determined by the age of the Participant or Former Participant pending the Administrator's receipt of investment direction from, or an Interactive Electronic Communication by, the Participant or Former Participant, or in such other default investment fund or funds as may be designated by the Administrator from time to time for such purpose which constitute a "qualified default investment alternative under the applicable Department of Labor regulations. At such time or times required by Section 404(c) of ERISA and the Department of Labor regulations promulgated thereunder, the Administrator shall give each Participant and Former Participant a Notice of his rights and obligations under the default arrangement which is sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise the Participant or Former Participant of such rights and obligations and is written in a manner to be understood by the average Participant, as well as of such other information required by the applicable Department of Labor regulations. The Notice must (i) explain the Participant's or Former Participant's rights under the Plan to specifically elect to exercise control over the investment of his Individual Account, (ii) explain how the Participant's or Former Participant's Individual Account will be invested in the absence of an investment election by the Participant or Former Participant, and (iii) include all other information required by the applicable Department of Labor regulations. Each Participant and Former Participant whose Individual Account has been invested in a default investment fund shall be permitted to transfer to any other Investment Fund as frequently as Participants and Former Participants who affirmatively elect to direct the investment of their Individual Accounts hereunder. If an Employee has an employment or re-employment commencement date before June 1, 2008 and fails to direct the investment of his Individual Account, the entire balance of his Individual Account shall be invested in Fund 4.
