Death Benefit. In the event of the Employee’s death, the Company shall pay the Employee’s unpaid vested Performance Units (in the amount determined under Section 4(a) of the Agreement if the Employee’s death occurred prior to the end of the Incentive Cycle) to the Employee’s estate. Such payment shall be made at the time prescribed in [Section 5(a)] above, or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter in a single lump sum distribution of shares of Common Stock (and cash for fractional shares of Common Stock), unless the Performance Units were deferred under the Deferred Compensation and 401(k) Excess Plan, in which case such deferred Performance Units shall be paid under the terms of that plan.
