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.

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.

Each Participant who elects to participate in this Plan may file with the Committee a notice in writing, on a form provided by the Committee, designating one or more beneficiaries to whom the distribution shall be made in the event of the Participant’s death prior to receiving the entire distribution of the balance in the Participant Account. If no beneficiary designation is made, or in the event that a beneficiary designated by such Participant predeceases the Participant, the distribution shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

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.
