In the event an Eligible Employee, upon becoming a Participant, is not a participant in the Retirement Plan, he may file with the Committee (or its delegate) a designation of one or more Beneficiaries to whom benefits otherwise payable to the Participant shall be made prior to the complete distribution of his benefits under the Plan. Such a Beneficiary designation shall be on the form prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective when received and accepted by the Committee. A Participant who is not a participant in the Retirement Plan may, from time to time, revoke or change his Beneficiary designation by filing a new designation form with the Committee. The last valid designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no Beneficiary designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received prior to the Participant’s death, and shall not be effective as of a date prior to its receipt or if the Participant is a participant in the Retirement Plan at the time of his death..

A Participant may select one or more Beneficiaries by filing with the Committee a written designation of such Beneficiaries on such forms as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Qualified Plan Beneficiary shall be the Beneficiary, or if no Qualified Plan Beneficiary survives, the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a married Participant's initial designation and/or any subsequent change in Beneficiary designation to someone other than or in addition to his or her Eligible Spouse shall not be effective unless the Eligible Spouse consents in writing to such designation. The Committee shall have the authority to establish from time to time additional rules and procedures with respect to the designation of Beneficiaries hereunder.

10.2Beneficiary Designation; Change of Beneficiary Designation. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and delivering the Beneficiary Designation Form to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing and delivering a new Beneficiary Designation Form to the Committee. Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his or her death. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received by the Committee or its designated agent. In the event a Participant becomes divorced or legally separated from his or her spouse, any Beneficiary Designation Form designating such spouse as a beneficiary shall automatically be null and void as of the date of such divorce or legal separation; provided, however, that the Participant may designate such spouse (or former spouse) as a beneficiary under a new Beneficiary Designation Form.

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.
