If within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control a Participant has a Separation from Service or dies while employed by the Company or any Affiliate, he shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment on the first day of the seventh (7 th) month following the date the Participant has a Separation from Service or, in case of death, on the Benefit Commencement Date, equal to (i) the Actuarial Equivalent of the sum of Participant’s Accrued Benefit and Participant’s Retirement Annuity, determined as of the date of his Separation from Service or death, adjusted to reflect the lump sum form of payment and commencement of the Participant’s benefit prior to his Normal Retirement Age and Annuity Commencement Date, if applicable, plus (ii) Interest on such amount accrued from the date of the Benefit Commencement Date until the date payment is to be made, if later than the Benefit Commencement Date.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is receiving his Accrued Benefit or his Retirement Annuity as of the date a Change in Control occurs, the remaining portion of his Accrued Benefit and Retirement Annuity shall be distributed immediately in a lump sum payment adjusted to reflect the conversion of the stream of payments to the Actuarial Equivalent of a lump sum form of payment.
3.4 Death Benefit.
In the event a Participant is entitled to an Accrued Benefit under this Plan and dies before he has received the entirety of his Accrued Benefit under Section 3.2 or 3.3, then the undistributed payments of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the date of the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary in the form the Participant would have received.

The Participant’s single life annuity shall consist of monthly payments equal in amount to the monthly amount that the Participant was or is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.2, such payments continuing until, and including, the month containing Participant’s date of death. Any form of joint and survivor annuity shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant’s single life annuity.

In the event that Participant provides more than one notice pursuant to this section, the notice last submitted prior to the Benefit Commencement Date shall control.

9

Upon receiving such written application for review, the Administrative Committee may schedule a hearing for purposes of reviewing the claimant’s claim, which hearing shall take place not more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Administrative Committee received such written application for review. All claimants requesting a review of the decision denying their claim for benefits may employ counsel for purposes of the hearing.

ARTICLE V
SOURCE OF FUNDS TRUST
5.1 Source of Funds.
Except as provided in this Section and Section 5.2, the Company shall provide the benefits described in the Plan from the general assets of the Company. In any event, the Company ultimately shall have the obligation to pay all benefits due to Participants and Designated Beneficiaries under the Plan. The Company’s obligation to pay benefits under the Plan constitutes a mere promise of the Company to pay such benefits, and a Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall be and remain no more than an unsecured, general creditor of the Company. As described in this Article, the Company may establish a Trust and pay over funds from time to time to such Trust. To the extent that funds in such Trust allocable to the benefits payable under the Plan are sufficient, the Trust assets shall be used to pay benefits under the Plan. If such Trust assets are not sufficient to pay all benefits due under the Plan, then the Company shall have the obligation, and the Participant or Designated Beneficiary, who is due such benefits, shall look to the Company to provide such benefits. The Administrative Committee shall allocate the total liability to pay benefits under the Plan among the Participating Companies in such manner and amount as the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate to reflect the benefits accrued by each Participating Company’s employees.
5.2 Trust.
The Company may transfer all or any portion of the funds necessary to fund benefits accrued hereunder to the Trustee to be held and administered by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, except during any “restricted period” as defined in Code Section 409A(b)(3)(B) with respect to a single-employer defined benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate. To the extent provided in the Trust Agreement, each transfer into the Trust Fund shall be irrevocable as long as the Company has any liability or obligations under the Plan to pay benefits, such that the Trust property is in no way subject to use by the Company; provided, it is
11

the intent of the Company that the assets held by the Trust are and shall remain at all times subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company. No Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any interest in the assets held by the Trust or in the general assets of the Company other than as a general, unsecured creditor. Accordingly, the Company shall not grant a security interest in the assets held by the Trust in favor of the Participants, Designated Beneficiaries or any creditor. The Trust Fund and all assets thereunder, if any, shall at all times be held in the United States.
