Designation of Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan, following the execution of this Award Agreement, you may expressly designate a beneficiary (the “Beneficiary”) to your interest in the Option awarded hereby. You shall designate the Beneficiary by completing and executing a designation of beneficiary agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the “Designation of Beneficiary”) and delivering an executed and notarized copy of the Designation of Beneficiary to the Company.

Private Side Designation. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Applicable Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities Applicable Laws.

OTC Markets Designation. OTC Markets changes the Borrower’s designation to “No Information” (Stop Sign), “Caveat Emptor” (Skull and Crossbones), or “OTC”, “Other OTC” or “Grey Market” (Exclamation Mark Sign).

Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Company and shall not be effective until received by the Company. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate.

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.

Designation of Subsidiaries. Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as # the Payment Conditions shall have been satisfied with respect to such designation (treating such designation as an Investment as provided below); # such Restricted Subsidiary is not a guarantor of any Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Obligations); # such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Borrower; and # none of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary are, immediately before such designation, included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan Party therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Loan Party’s direct or indirect Investment in such Restricted Subsidiary and such Investment must constitute a Permitted Investment. Parent may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such designation shall constitute the incurrence or making at the time of designation of any Investments, Indebtedness, and Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and each of the same must be permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

Subsidiary Borrower Designation. With respect to any Loan to be made to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been designated as a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to [Section 10.1(c)(i)] and such Subsidiary Borrower shall not have been removed as a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to [Section 10.1(c)(ii)] (unless such Subsidiary shall have been redesignated as a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to [Section 10.1(c)(i)] and such redesignation shall be in effect as of the date of such Loan.

Any rights and obligations of a grantee under this Program in effect at that grantee’s death will apply to that grantee’s designated beneficiary or, if there is no designated beneficiary, to that grantee’s estate representative or lawful heirs, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the administrative authority. Beneficiary designations must be made in writing and in accordance with such requirements and procedures as the administrative authority may establish. Unless specified otherwise in the award instrument, if a grantee dies, the administrative authority may accelerate or otherwise alter the settlement of deferred awards to that grantee.

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.

Designation of Option. This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code only to the extent so designated in the Notice, and to the extent it is not so designated or to the extent the Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Applicable Law, then it is intended to be and will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
