Each Participant under the Plan may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to his estate.

Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive any Options that may be exercised after death or to receive any other Award that may be paid after his death, as provided for in the Award Agreement. Such designation and any change or revocation of such designation shall be made in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee (or its delegee). In the event that the designated beneficiary dies prior to the Participant, or in the event that no beneficiary has been designated, any Awards that may be exercised or paid following the Participant’s death shall be transferred or paid in accordance with the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Beneficiary Designation. Participants shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive their benefits under the Plan should such Participant die prior to commencement of or complete distribution of benefits hereunder. The AT&T Rules for Beneficiary Designations as may hereafter be amended from time to time (the "Rules"), which Rules are incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply. For purposes of this Plan, "Beneficiary" shall mean any beneficiary designated by a Participant to receive his or her benefits under this Plan in the event of the Participant's death, or as otherwise determined under the Rules to the extent the Participant fails to designate a beneficiary.

Beneficiary Designation. The Grantee may designate Beneficiary(ies) to whom shall be transferred any rights under this Agreement which survive the Grantee’s death. The beneficiary designation form can be found at the Charles Schwab Equity Award Center website (https://www.schwab.com/public/eac/home) or obtained by contacting the Company’s Director, Compensation and Benefits. In the absence of an effective beneficiary designation in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges that any rights under this Agreement that survive the Grantee’s death shall be rights of his or her estate notwithstanding any other agreements or documents (including the Grantee’s will) to the contrary.

(a) Designation. There is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Corporation a series of preferred stock designated as the “Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The number of shares constituting such series shall be 180,000.

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.

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 SAR 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.

Designation of Beneficiary. Each Director shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who is to succeed to his right to receive payments hereunder in the event of the Director’s death (each, a “Designated Beneficiary”). Any Designated Beneficiary will receive payments in the same manner as the applicable Director if he had lived. In the event of a Director failing to designate a beneficiary under this [Section 4.3] or upon the death of a Designated Beneficiary without a designated successor, the balance of the amounts contained in the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account, if any, shall be payable in accordance with Section 4.2 to the Director’s estate in full. No designation of a beneficiary or change in beneficiary shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Director and filed with the Administrator. A Designated Beneficiary may be changed without the consent of any prior beneficiary.

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.
