Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, pursuant to the Plan, name one or more beneficiaries to whom vested benefits under this Agreement shall be paid in case of Participant’s death before Participant receives all of such benefits. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to his or her estate.

Section # Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time pursuant to procedures approved by the Company name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant's death.

Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death. Such designation may be changed or cancelled at any time without the consent of any beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary is named or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary under the Plan 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 rights of such beneficiaries shall be payable in equal shares, unless the Participant has designated otherwise.

Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive, in the event of the Participant’s death, those benefits payable under the Plan. The Beneficiary(ies) designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation made under any other plan of the Employer.

Section # Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant from time to time may name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be issued or transferred in the event of the Participant’s death (or who may exercise the Participant’s rights hereunder, if any, that are exercisable following the death of the Participant). Each designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee or its designee during the Participant’s lifetime.

“Beneficiary” shall mean the person or persons designated by the Participant to receive any benefits under the Plan upon the death of the Participant. If no Beneficiary survives the Participant, or the Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, any benefits payable upon the death of the Participant shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

Beneficiary Designations. A Participant shall designate a beneficiary or multiple or contingent beneficiaries to whom distribution of the Participant’s interest in the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death prior to the full receipt thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the Participant is married on the date of death, such beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s surviving Spouse. The Participant may elect to change or revoke a designated beneficiary at any time; provided, however, that in the event that the beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving Spouse, such election shall not be effective unless such surviving Spouse provides written consent that acknowledges the effect of such election and is witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. The affirmative designation of any beneficiary and any elected change or revocation thereof by a Participant shall be made on forms provided by the Committee and shall not in any event be effective unless and until filed with the Committee. If no designated or deemed beneficiary survives the Participant or former Participant, or if any unmarried Participant or former Participant fails to designate a beneficiary under the Plan, the amount payable upon the death of the Participant or former Participant shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive, in the event of the Participant’s death, those benefits payable under the Plan. The Beneficiary(ies) designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation made under any other plan of the Employer.
