    Effective as of January 1, 2012, the Benefits provided by Article V shall be paid in accordance with foregoing to a Participant’s Beneficiary in the event of the death of the Participant, if such Beneficiary is entitled to benefits under the provisions of the ERP in effect as of said date in the event of the death of the Participant.
2.Section 5.05 of the S&P Supplemental Plan, as added by Amendment Four to the S&P Supplemental Plan and effective January 1, 2014, is redesignated Section 5.06.
3.Effective as of October 1, 2025, the S&P Supplemental Plan is amended by adding new Section 5.07:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant separates from service with the Company and is a Specified Employee on his or her date of separation from service, no accelerated payment shall be made under this subsection to such Participant during the period beginning on his or her date of separation from service and ending on the date that is six months after such date of separation from service, except as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2).
