Designated Beneficiary. In the event of the death of Executive while in the employ of the Company, or at any time thereafter during which amounts remain payable to Executive under Section 5 above, such payments shall thereafter be made to such person or persons as Executive may specifically designate (successively or contingently) to receive payments under this Agreement following Executive’s death by filing a written beneficiary designation with the Company during Executive’s lifetime. Any change in the beneficiary designation shall be in such form as may be reasonably prescribed by the Company and may be amended from time to time or may be revoked by Executive pursuant to written instruments filed with the Company during Executive’s lifetime. Beneficiaries designated by Executive may be any natural or legal person or persons, including a fiduciary, such as a trustee of a trust, or the legal representative of an estate. Unless otherwise provided by the beneficiary designation filed by Executive, if all of the persons so designated die before Executive on the occurrence of a contingency not contemplated in such beneficiary designation, or if Executive shall have failed to provide such beneficiary designation, then the amount payable under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive’s estate.

Designation of Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate any person to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the Executive’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Executive by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Executive, shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.

Beneficiary. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designation under any other Agreement of the Bank in which the Executive participates.

The Executive may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (collectively, the Executive’s “Beneficiary”) to receive any portion of his or her Benefit which remains unpaid at his or her death, and to specify the manner in which such amounts shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary (in accordance with the options available under Section 5.2 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for amounts credited to an Executive’s Account on or after August 6, 2020, an Executive may not make any election with respect to the manner in which such portion of the Executive’s Benefit shall be payable to the Executive’s Beneficiary. Rather, such portion of the Executive’s Benefit will in all events be paid to the Executive’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum. Such Beneficiary designation shall be effected by filing written notification with the Administration Committee in the form prescribed by it and may be changed from time to time by the Executive by similar action.

Executive shall be entitled to select (and change, to the extent permitted under any applicable law) a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death, and may change such election, in either case by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. Any reference to the masculine gender in this Agreement shall include, where appropriate, the feminine.

Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of Executive’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to Executive’s beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die prior to payment of any amount that is otherwise payable under this Agreement, any such amount shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s beneficiary as designated in writing by Executive and submitted to and accepted by the Company, or to Executive’s estate if no valid beneficiary designation exists or if the beneficiary dies prior to payment of such amount. If Executive is married and wishes to name a beneficiary other than Executive’s spouse, that spouse must irrevocably consent in writing to the naming of a different beneficiary and such irrevocable written consent must be submitted to and accepted by the Company. The Company is entitled, but not required, to rely on Executive’s representations as to his marital status and the identity of his spouse, if any, without any duty to inquire. Executive is required to notify the Company promptly in writing of any change in his marital status.

Beneficiaries. Whenever this Agreement provides for any payment to Executive’s estate, such payment may be made instead to such beneficiary as Executive may have designated in a writing filed with Employer. Executive shall have the right to revoke any such designation and to re‑designate a beneficiary by written notice to Employer (or to any applicable insurance company).

Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

The Executive shall have the right and power to designate one or more “Beneficiary” or “Beneficiaries” to receive the Executive’s Interest payable upon the death of the Executive, and to elect and change a payment option for such Beneficiary, subject to any right or interest the Company may have in such proceeds, as provided in this Agreement.
