Limitations. A Participant shall not have any interest in any Award until it is distributed in accordance with the Plan. The fact that an Employee has been selected to be a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle such Participant to receive an Award for such period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant shall be paid an Award for such Performance Period shall be determined solely in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10 and 13 hereof. All payments and distributions to be made thereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any employee, former employee or any other person. The Plan shall not constitute part of any Participant's or Employee's employment contract with the Company or any participating Subsidiary. Participation in the Plan shall not create or imply a right to continued employment.

Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
