Discontinuance of Service. This Agreement does not give you a right to continued service with the Company or Affiliate, and the Company or any such Affiliate may terminate your service at any time and otherwise deal with you without regard to the effect it may have upon you under this Agreement.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, discontinuance or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant in respect of any Plan Year which has already commenced and no such action shall be effective without approval by the stockholders of the Company to the extent necessary to continue to qualify the amounts payable hereunder to Covered Employees as performance-based compensation under [Section 162(m)].

Any amendment or termination of the Plan will not affect the entitlement of any Participant or the Beneficiary of a Participant whose Termination Date occurs before the amendment or termination. All benefits to which any Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled shall be determined under the Plan as in effect at the time of the Participant’s Termination Date and shall not be affected by any subsequent change in the provisions of the Plan; provided, that HP reserves the right to change the Investment Options with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary.

If the Trustee subsequently resumes such payments, the Plan Administrator shall advise Participants and Beneficiaries that, if Trust assets are sufficient, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Participants and Beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made directly by the Employer during any period of discontinuance. No insufficiency of Trust assets shall relieve the Employer of its obligation to make payments when due under the Plan.
