Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then such provision or term shall be deemed to be reformed to comply with Section&nbsp;409A of the Code; and </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">WHEREAS, the Company&#146;s legal counsel has advised that the disability exception to the five year delay in payment rule resulting from a change in a distribution election would be viewed by the IRS as inconsistent
with the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A of the Code and, therefore, it is desirable to revise the Plan document to reflect its reformation to eliminate such provision; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Plan document shall be restated to reflect this change. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer of Briggs&nbsp;&amp; Stratton
