These excerpts taken from the HSY 10-K filed Feb 19, 2008. XI. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Board may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan. The Committee may also, from time to time, amend the Plan in such respects as it may deem advisable in order that benefits provided hereunder may conform to any change in the law or in other respects which the Committee deems to be in the best interest of the Company. Except as provided in the next sentence, no such amendment shall adversely affect any right of any Participant or his or her spouse to benefits hereunder that have become payable (i.e. the Participant has five (5) Years of Service with the Company) prior to the effective date of the amendment without the consent of such Participant or spouse. Unless the Board determines in its sole discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed upon termination in accordance with the requirements under Code section 409A, any benefits payable under the terms of the Plan at the time of termination of the Plan shall remain in effect according to their original terms, or such alternate terms as may be in the best interests of both parties and agreed to by the Participant or his or her surviving spouse. Upon termination of the Plan, no further benefit accruals shall occur.
