Designation of Beneficiary. Each Optionee and Grantee may, with the consent of the Committee, designate a person or persons to receive in the event of his/her death, any Option or Award or any amount payable pursuant thereto, to which he/she would then be entitled. Such designation will be made upon forms supplied by and delivered to the Company and may be revoked in writing. If an Optionee or Grantee fails effectively to designate a beneficiary, then his/her estate will be deemed to be the beneficiary.

An Eligible Employee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Eligible Employee 's account under this Plan in the event of such Eligible Employee's death subsequent to the end of an Purchase Period but prior to delivery to him of such shares and cash. In addition, an Eligible Employee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Eligible Employee 's account under this Plan in the event of such Eligible Employee's death prior to a Purchase Date.

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.

Absence of Designation. If no designation of Beneficiaries is in effect at the time of a Participant’s death, if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, or if the Participant’s designation of Beneficiaries conflicts with law, then the Participant’s estate shall be the Beneficiary entitled to receive all Deferred Compensation then unpaid. The Committee may direct the Company or any Participating Employer to retain such unpaid Deferred Compensation without liability for any interest thereon or other earnings or gains thereon, until the rights thereto are determined, or the Committee may direct the Company or Participating Subsidiary to pay such unpaid Deferred Compensation into any court of appropriate jurisdiction, and such payment shall completely discharge all liability of the Company and, if applicable, any Participating Employer for unpaid Deferred Compensation.

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.

Designation of Participants. An individual may be designated a Participant by action of the Compensation Committee or in a written employment agreement approved by the Compensation Committee. Participation of each individual designated as a Participant shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in the Program and to such other terms, conditions and limitations as the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, impose upon the participation of any such individual at the time the individual is designated a Participant in the Program.
