Assignment; Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and none of the rights or obligations herein may be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.

Beneficiaries. Any bonuses awarded under this Plan to a Participant who dies prior to payment shall be paid as specified in [Section 6] to the beneficiary designated by the Participant on a form filed with the Company. If no such beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s legal representative. A beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Company. If the Participant dies during a Bonus Year and while employed, the payment shall be made at the end of the Bonus Year at the time specified in [Section 6] and shall be a pro rata amount based on the Participant’s months of employment during the Bonus Year prior to death with the month of death counting as a full month of employment.

Beneficiaries. For purposes of this [Section 19], the Corporation and each of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this [Section 19]. Further, for purposes of this [Section 19], references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.

Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more persons or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee and pursuant to such other procedures as the Committee may decide. If no such designation is on file with the Company at the time of the Executive’s death, or if no designated Beneficiaries survive the Executive for more than fourteen (14) days, any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.

Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding [Section 14.3(a)], a Grantee may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Grantee and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Grantee’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee, except to the extent the Plan and such Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Grantee, payment shall be made to the Grantee’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Grantee at any time, provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator.

BENEFICIARIES. A Participant may, by executing and delivering to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Participant’s death a Beneficiary Election form, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom distribution of his or her interest under this Plan shall be made in the event of his or her death prior to the full receipt of his or her interest under this Plan, and he or she may designate the portions to be distributed to each such designated beneficiary if there is more than one. Any such designation may be revoked or changed by the Participant at any time and from time to time by filing, prior to the Participant’s death, with the Secretary of the Company an executed Beneficiary Election form. If there is no such designated beneficiary living upon the death of the Participant, or if all such designated beneficiaries die prior to the full distribution of the Participant’s interest, then any remaining unpaid amounts shall be paid to the estate of the Participant or Participant’s beneficiaries.

Assignment. No assignment or transfer of this Note or any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to assign its rights to acquire a portion of the Shares to a third party, and Seller hereby agrees and consents to such assignment. Seller further agrees that any and all cash proceeds she receives from the sale of such Shares to Buyer’s assignee shall reduce the amount of, and be applied against, the Closing Cash Payment payable by Buyer hereunder. In connection with such sale by Seller to Buyer’s assignee, Seller shall execute such agreements and instruments as are reasonably necessary to transfer free and clear title to the Shares purchased by Buyer’s assignee to Buyer’s assignee, including, without limitation, a stock purchase agreement substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement.
