Section # Designation Procedure. Each Participant may designate one beneficiary or several beneficiaries (such beneficiary or beneficiaries of a Participant herein referred to as the Participant’s “Beneficiaries”) to receive any balance, or portion thereof, of his or her Accounts which may be payable under the Plan upon his or her death. To be effective, each designation must be in writing on a form provided by the Committee and must be signed by the Participant and filed with the Committee prior to the Participant’s death. Each Participant may name one or more primary Beneficiaries and one or more contingent Beneficiaries; provided that if a Participant names more than one Beneficiary, the Participant shall designate the percentage payable to each. A Participant may from time to time revoke or change his or her Beneficiaries designation without the consent of any Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee, and each change will revoke all prior designations of Beneficiaries. The last such designation of Beneficiaries received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.

“Beneficiary” shall mean the person or persons entitled to receive the distributions, if any, payable under the Plan upon or after a Participant’s death, to such person or persons as such Participant’s Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary by filing the proper form with the Committee. A Participant may designate one or more contingent Beneficiaries to receive any distributions after the death of a prior Beneficiary. A designation shall be effective upon said filing, provided that it is so filed during such Participant’s lifetime, and may be changed from time to time by the Participant.
