Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any payments that may be made after the Participant's death. Such designation may be changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made on a form or in a manner approved by or acceptable to the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been named, or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the beneficiary shall be the Participant's spouse or, if no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant's estate. If a Participant designates more than one beneficiary, the payment shall be made to such beneficiaries in equal shares, unless the Participant has designated otherwise.

Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death. Such designation may be changed or cancelled at any time without the consent of any beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary is named or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary under the Plan shall be the Participant’s spouse or, if no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one beneficiary, the rights of such beneficiaries shall be payable in equal shares, unless the Participant has designated otherwise.

Designation of Beneficiary. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee (or its delegate), a Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any payments which may be made following the Participant’s death in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time. If a Participant does not designate a beneficiary, or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries predeceases the Participant, any payments which may be made following the Participant’s death shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary (along with alternate beneficiaries) to whom, in the event of the Participant’s death, any benefit is payable hereunder. Each Participant has the right to change any designation of Beneficiary and such change automatically revokes any prior designation. A designation or change of Beneficiary must be in writing on forms supplied by the Committee and any change of Beneficiary shall not become effective until filed with the Committee; provided, however, that the Committee shall not recognize the validity of any designation received after the death of the Participant. The interest of any Beneficiary who dies before the Participant shall terminate unless otherwise provided. If a Beneficiary is not validly designated, or is not living or cannot be found at the date of payment, any amount payable pursuant to this Plan shall be paid to the Spouse of the Participant if living at the time of payment, otherwise in equal shares to such of the children of the Participant as may be living at the time of payment; provided, however, that if there is no surviving Spouse or child at the time of payment, such payment shall be made to the estate of the Participant.

"Beneficiary" means such person(s) as the Participant has designated. A Participant may change his/her Beneficiary designation at any time. All Beneficiary designations (including changes) shall be made in writing on such forms as the Committee shall prescribe, and shall become effective only when received and accepted by the Committee; provided, however, that a Beneficiary designation (including a change) received by the Committee after the designating Participant's death shall be disregarded. In the absence of a Beneficiary designation, or if the designated Beneficiary is no longer living or in existence at the time of the Participant's death, all distributions payable from the Plan upon the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate.

Each Participant shall be entitled to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural person) who, following the Participant’s death, will be entitled to receive any payments to be made under [Section 6.2]. At any time, and from time to time, any designation may be changed or cancelled by the Participant without the consent of any Beneficiary. Any designation, change, or cancellation must be by written notice filed with the Company and shall not be effective until received by the Company. Payment shall be made in accordance with the last unrevoked written designation of Beneficiary that has been signed by the Participant and delivered by the Participant to the Company prior to the Participant’s death. If the Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, any payments under [Section 6.2] to the Beneficiaries shall be made in equal shares unless the Participant has designated otherwise, in which case the payments shall be made in the proportions designated by the Participant. If no Beneficiary has been named by the Participant or if all Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

Any payment required to be made to a Participant hereunder that cannot be made to the Participant because of his death shall be made to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, subject to applicable law. Each Participant shall have the right to designate in writing from time to time a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written notice of such designation with the Committee. In the event a beneficiary designated by the Participant does not survive the Participant and no successor beneficiary is selected, or in the event no valid designation has been made, such Participant’s beneficiary shall be such Participant’s estate.

Each participant shall have the right at any time to designate any person or persons as beneficiary or beneficiaries (both principal as well as contingent) to whom payment under this Plan shall be made in the event of death prior to complete distribution to the participant of the amounts due under this Plan. Any beneficiary designation may be changed by a participant by the filing of such change in a manner prescribed by the Retirement Committee. The filing of a new beneficiary designation will cancel all beneficiary designations previously filed and will apply to all deferrals in the account. If a beneficiary has not been designated or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the participant, then any amounts payable to the beneficiary shall be paid to the participant’s spouse (if married) or estate (if not married) in one lump sum.
