Designation of Beneficiaries. Each participating Outside Director may file with the Plan Administrator a written designation of one or more primary beneficiaries and one or more contingent beneficiaries to whom payments otherwise due to the Outside Director at the date of his death shall be made after the death of the Outside Director. Such payments will be made in such amounts and at such times as would have been made to the Outside Director had he lived. The written designation must be received by the Plan Administrator prior to the death of the Outside Director. A beneficiary may not, under any circumstances, change the time and form of the payments. Such payments will be divided among the primary beneficiaries who survive the Outside Director in such proportion as directed in the written designation. If no primary beneficiary survives the Outside Director, such payment will be divided among the contingent beneficiaries who survive the Outside Director in such proportion as directed in the written designation. If no primary or contingent beneficiary survives the Outside Director or is designated by the Outside Director, such payments will be made to the estate of the Outside Director. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the A&B Board of Directors, payments to the estate of the Outside Director may be made in a lump-sum equal to the full amount of the Outside Director's deferred fee account; provided, however, that such payment will not be made later than 90 days following the Outside Director’s death. The Plan Administrator retains the sole discretion to determine when during the 90-day period the payment will be made.
