Unfunded Plan Status. All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one (1) or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan.

Unfunded Status of Plan. It is intended that this Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under this Plan to deliver Stock or make payments, provided that, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of this Plan.

UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan is intended to be and at all times shall be operated and administered as an unfunded plan. No provision of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to give any individual any right in any assets of Interpublic or any Affiliate that is greater than the rights of any general, unsecured creditor of Interpublic or such Affiliate.

Unfunded Plan. It is a condition of the Plan that neither a Participant nor any other person or entity shall look to any person or entity other than the Employer for the payment of benefits under the Plan. The Participant or any other person or entity having or claiming a right to payments hereunder shall rely solely on the unsecured obligation of the Employer set forth herein. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to give the Participant or any other person or entity any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, fund, reserve, account or property of any kind whatsoever, owned by the Company or any Employer or in which the Company or any Employer may have any right, title or interest now or in the future. However, the Participant or any other person or entity shall have the right to enforce his or its claim against the Employer in the same manner as any other unsecured creditor of such entity. Neither a Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any specific assets of any System Company.

Unfunded Plan. Each Award Opportunity granted under this Plan represents only a contingent right to receive all or a portion of the number of Maximum Shares subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement, this Plan, and the Stock Incentive Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right to payment of an Award Opportunity earned under this Plan other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled under this Plan.

Unfunded Plan. The adoption of the Plan and any reservation of Shares or cash amounts by the Company to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust or other funded arrangement. Except upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to an Award, any rights of a Participant under the Plan shall be those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and neither a Participant nor the Participant’s permitted transferees or estate shall have any other interest in any assets of the Company by virtue of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to implement or set aside funds in a grantor trust, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors or otherwise, to discharge its obligations under the Plan.

Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan and all benefits shall be paid from the Company’s general assets.

Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for Awards, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

Unfunded Status of Awards. This Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for certain incentive awards.
