called the “Primary Sponsor”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Primary

NOW, THEREFORE, the Primary

otherwise provided herein, as follows:
1. By
deleting the existing Section 1.1(c) and substituting therefor the

contributions made by a Plan Sponsor under Plan Section 3.3 respecting pay
periods beginning prior to December 27, 2009.”
2. By
deleting, effective for pay periods beginning on and after December 27, 2009,

following:
“(c) in
determining the amount of contributions under Plan Section 3 (other than Section

Annual Compensation shall not include (1) bonus compensation, except annual

forms of remuneration; and (3) employer contributions under the Tyson Foods,
Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan;”
3. By
deleting, effective for pay periods beginning on and after December 27, 2009,
the existing Section 1.3(e) in its entirety and substituting therefore the
following:
“(e) [Reserved.]”
4. By
deleting the word “and” at the end of the existing Section 1.3(e), by deleting
the period at the end of the existing Section 1.3(f) and substituting therefore
“; and”, and by adding the following new Section 1.3(g) to read as

shall include any differential wage payment (within the meaning of Code Section

continued to perform services for the Plan Sponsor.”

the existing Section 2.8 in its entirety and substituting therefore the

“(2) not
later than the immediately following April 15, the Plan may distribute the

7. By

following:
“3.3 [Reserved.]”
8. By
deleting, effective for pay periods beginning on and after December 27, 2009,

Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and Rollover Amounts contributed by the Participant, shall
be allocated to the Salary Deferral Contribution Account, Employer Contribution
Account and Rollover Account, respectively, of the Participant on behalf of whom
the contributions were made.
9. By
adding, effective January 1, 2009, a new Section 6.6, as follows:
“6.6 Special
Rule for Distributions During Uniformed Services. A
Participant who is performing services in the uniformed services (as defined in
Chapter 43 of Title 38 of the United States Code) while on active duty for a
period of more than thirty (30) days shall be treated as having been severed
from employment during such period for purposes of Code Section
401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) and may elect to receive a distribution of all or a portion
of his Salary Deferral Contribution Account, including Catch-Up
Contributions. Any request for a distribution under this Section must
be made in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator and in accordance
with rules and conditions as the Plan Administrator may from time to time
adopt. If a Participant elects a distribution pursuant to this
Section, the Participant may not make Elective Deferrals, including Catch-Up
Contributions, to the Plan or any other plan maintained by the Plan Sponsor
during the six-month period beginning on the date of the
distribution.”
10. By
deleting, effective January 1, 2011, the existing Section 7.1(b)(1) in its
entirety and substituting therefore the following:
“(1) a
lump sum payment in cash of the entire Account;”
11. By
adding the following to the end of Section 10.3:
“Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Distributee is a non-spouse Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant and a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer is made to an individual
retirement account described in Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement
annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (other than an endowment
contract):
(a) the
transfer shall be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution;
(b) the
individual retirement plan shall be treated as an inherited individual
retirement account or individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Code
Section 408(d)(3)(C)); and
(c) Code
Section 401(a)(9)(B) (other than clause (iv) thereof) shall apply to such
plan.”
12. By
adding, effective January 1, 2009, the following to the end of Section
10.5:
“Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5 and Appendix E, a Participant or
Beneficiary who would have been required to receive minimum required
distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of Section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code
(the ‘2009 RMDs’), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving
distributions that are (a) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (b) one or more payments in
a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made
at least annually and expected to last for life (or life expectancy) of the
Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and
the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least ten (10)
years (the ‘Extended 2009 RMDs’), will not receive those distributions for 2009
unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses to receive such
distributions. Such Participants and Beneficiaries will be given the
opportunity to elect to receive the distributions and, notwithstanding Section
10.3 of the Plan, and solely for purposes of applying the direct rollover
provisions of the Plan, 2009 RMDs and Extended 2009 RMDs will be treated as
Eligible Rollover Distributions.”
Except as specifically
amended hereby, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect prior to this
First Amendment.
IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the Primary Sponsor has caused this First Amendment to be executed as
of the day and year first above written.
