Withdrawal from the Plan. If a participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its participating subsidiaries (a "Terminated Participant"), his or her participation in the Plan will automatically terminate. At such time, the Terminated Participant may receive the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan, or the cash value thereof, in accordance with procedures adopted and implemented by the Company and the Agent from time to time consistent with the terms of the Plan and applicable law.

Participation in the Plan terminates immediately on the date on which a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Employee. In the event of termination of employment, all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase shares of Common Stock but shall instead be distributed to the Participant (or in case of the Participant’s death to his or her estate, beneficiary or heirs, as applicable) as soon as administratively feasible without interest, except as otherwise required by local law.

The right to participate in the Plan terminates immediately when a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason whatsoever (including death, unpaid disability or when the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary) or the Participant otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan. Participation also terminates immediately when the Participant voluntarily withdraws his or her contributions from the Plan. Participation terminates immediately after the Purchase Date if the Participant is not re-enrolled in the Plan for the next Purchase Period or if the Participant has suspended payroll deductions during any Purchase Period and has not re-enrolled in the Plan for the next Purchase Period. Following termination of participation, the Participant may request that the Committee cause to be paid to the Participant or his or her beneficiary or legal representative all amounts credited to his or her account, including interest, if applicable, determined in accordance with [Section 7] hereof, and cause an electronic transmission for the number of shares of Common Stock held in his or her account to be delivered to the Participant or to his or her beneficiary or legal representative.
